¶ Apre sa, mwen wè kat zanj kanpe nan kat kwen latè a. Yo t'ap kenbe kat van yo pou okenn van pa t' soufle ni sou tè, ni sou lanmè, ni sou okenn piebwa.

Lè sa a, mwen wè yon lòt zanj ki moute soti bò kote solèy leve a. Li te gen nan men l' letanp Bondye vivan an. Li rele byen fò, li pale ak kat zanj yo ki te resevwa pouvwa pou ravaje tè a ak lanmè a, li di yo:

Poko fè ni tè a, ni lanmè a, ni piebwa yo okenn donmaj. Tann nou fin make sèvitè Bondye yo ak letanp lan sou fwon yo.

Apre sa, yo di m' kantite moun ki te make ak letanp Bondye a sou fwon yo. Te gen antou sankarannkatmil (144.000) nan tout branch ras pèp Izrayèl la.

Te gen douzmil (12.000) nan branch Jida a ki te make ak letanp lan, douzmil nan branch Woubenn lan, douzmil nan branch Gad la,

douzmil nan branch Asè a, douzmil nan branch Nèftali a, douzmil nan branch Manase a,

douzmil nan branch Simeyon an, douzmil nan branch Levi a, douzmil nan branch Isaka a,

douzmil nan branch Zabilon an, douzmil nan branch Jozèf la, douzmil nan branch Benjamen an.

Apre sa, mwen gade ankò, mwen wè yon gwo foul moun. Pesonn pa t' kapab konte kantite ki te gen ladan li. Se te moun tout lòt nasyon, tout kalite ras, pèp tout peyi ak tout lang. Yo te kanpe la devan fòtèy la ak devan ti Mouton an. Yo te gen rad tou blan sou yo, yo te gen fèy palmis nan men yo.

10 Yo t'ap rele byen fò, yo t'ap di: Se Bondye nou an ki chita sou fòtèy la. Se li menm ansanm ak ti Mouton an ki vin delivre nou.

11 Tout zanj yo kanpe, yo fè yon wonn, yo mete fòtèy la, granmoun yo ak kat bèt vivan yo nan mitan yo. Yo lage kò yo atè devan fòtèy la, yo bese tèt yo byen ba pou adore Bondye,

12 yo t'ap di: Se vre wi. Lwanj, onè, bon konprann, rekonesans, respè, pouvwa ak fòs, tou sa pou Bondye nou an pou tout tan. Amèn.

13 ¶ Apre sa, yonn nan granmoun yo mande mwen: Moun sa yo ki gen rad tou blan sou yo a, ki moun yo ye? Ki bò yo soti?

14 Mwen reponn li: Se ou menm ki konnen wi, mèt mwen. Lè sa a, li di mwen: Se moun ki pase anba gwo pèsekisyon an. Yo lave rad yo, yo blanchi yo nan san ti Mouton an.

15 Se poutèt sa, yo kanpe la devan fòtèy Bondye a, lajounen kou lannwit y'ap sèvi nan tanp li a. Moun ki chita sou fòtèy la ap toujou la pou pwoteje yo.

16 Yo p'ap janm grangou, yo p'ap janm swaf dlo. Ni solèy, ni okenn lòt gwo chalè p'ap kapab boule yo.

17 Paske, ti Mouton ki nan mitan fòtèy la va tankou yon gadò pou yo. La mennen yo bò sous dlo ki bay lavi a. Se Bondye menm ki va siye dlo nan je yo.

144,000 Sealed

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners(A) of the earth, holding back the four winds(B) of the earth to prevent(C) any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal(D) of the living God.(E) He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:(F) “Do not harm(G) the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads(H) of the servants of our God.” Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.

From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,

from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,

from the tribe of Gad 12,000,

from the tribe of Asher 12,000,

from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,

from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,

from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,

from the tribe of Levi 12,000,

from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,

from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,

from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,

from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.

The Great Multitude in White Robes

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,(K) standing before the throne(L) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes(M) and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,(N)
who sits on the throne,(O)
and to the Lamb.”

11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders(P) and the four living creatures.(Q) They fell down on their faces(R) before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”(S)

13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes(T)—who are they, and where did they come from?”

14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes(U) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.(V) 15 Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God(W)
    and serve him(X) day and night in his temple;(Y)
and he who sits on the throne(Z)
    will shelter them with his presence.(AA)
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.(AB)
The sun will not beat down on them,’[a]
    nor any scorching heat.(AC)
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;(AD)
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’[b](AE)
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’[c](AF)
