Pahayag 7
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang 144,000 na Tinatakan
7 Pagkatapos (A) nito, nakakita ako ng apat na anghel na nakatayo sa apat na sulok ng lupa, at pumipigil sa apat na hangin ng lupa, upang walang hanging makaihip sa lupa, sa dagat, at maging sa anumang puno. 2 Nakita ko ang isa pang anghel na umaakyat mula sa silangan, dala-dala ang tatak ng Diyos na buháy, at sumigaw nang malakas sa apat na anghel na binigyan ng kapangyarihang salantain ang lupa at ang dagat. 3 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag (B) ninyong salantain ang lupa o ang dagat, o ang mga puno, hanggang matatakan na namin sa kanilang noo ang mga alipin ng ating Diyos. 4 At narinig ko ang bilang ng mga tinatakan—isandaan at apatnapu't apat na libo ang tinatakan, mula sa bawat lipi ng mga anak ni Israel:
5 Sa lipi ni Juda, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Ruben, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Gad, 12,000;
6 sa lipi ni Aser, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Neftali, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Manases, 12,000;
7 sa lipi ni Simeon, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Levi, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Isacar, 12,000;
8 sa lipi ni Zebulun, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Jose, 12,000;
sa lipi ni Benjamin, 12,000.
Ang Makapal na Bilang ng Tao mula sa Bawat Bansa
9 Pagkatapos nito ay tumingin ako, at naroon ang napakakapal na bilang ng taong hindi kayang bilangin ng sinuman, mula sa bawat bansa, mula sa lahat ng lipi, mga bayan, at mga wika. Nakatayo sila sa harap ng trono at sa harap ng Kordero, nakasuot ng puting damit at may hawak-hawak na mga sanga ng palma. 10 Sumisigaw sila na nagsasabi,
“Ang kaligtasan ay buhat sa ating Diyos na nakaupo sa trono at sa Kordero!”
11 At lahat ng anghel ay tumayo sa paligid ng trono, sa paligid ng matatanda, at ng apat na buháy na nilalang. Nagpatirapa sila sa harap ng trono at sinamba ang Diyos, 12 na nagsasabi,
“Amen! Sa aming Diyos ang kapurihan,
kaluwalhatian, karunungan, pasasalamat,
karangalan, kapangyarihan at kalakasan
magpakailanpaman! Amen.”
13 Isa sa matatanda ang nagtanong sa akin, “Sino ang mga ito na nakadamit ng puti, at saan sila nanggaling?” 14 Sinabi ko sa kanya, “Ginoo, (C) ikaw po ang nakaaalam.” At sinabi niya sa akin, “Ang mga ito ang nanggaling sa matinding kapighatian; hinugasan nila at pinaputi ang kanilang mga damit sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng Kordero.
15 Dahil dito, sila'y nasa harap ng trono ng Diyos,
at naglilingkod sa kanya araw-gabi sa kanyang templo,
at sila'y kukupkupin ng nakaupo sa trono.
16 Hindi (D) na sila magugutom ni mauuhaw man;
hindi na sila sasaktan ng sikat ng araw,
o ng anumang nakapapasong init;
17 sapagkat (E) ang Korderong nasa gitna ng trono ang kanilang magiging pastol,
at kanyang aakayin sila tungo sa mga bukal ng tubig ng buhay,
at papahirin ng Diyos ang luha sa kanilang mga mata.”
Revelation 7
World English Bible
7 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. 2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!” 4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed,
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I told him, “My lord, you know.”
He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.[a] They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. 16 They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
