14 Then kai I looked, and kai behold idou, I saw a ho Lamb arnion standing histēmi on epi · ho Mount oros Zion Siōn; and kai with meta him autos were one hundred hekaton and forty-four tesserakonta tessares thousand chilias who had echō · ho his autos name onoma and kai · ho his autos Father’ s patēr name onoma · ho written graphō on epi · ho their autos foreheads metōpon. And kai I heard akouō a sound phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos like hōs the roar phōnē of many polys waters hydōr and kai like hōs the sound phōnē of loud megas thunder brontē. · kai The ho sound phōnē I heard akouō was like hōs the sound of harpists kitharōidos playing kitharizō on en · ho their autos harps kithara, and kai they were singing adō a new kainos song ōdē before enōpion the ho throne thronos and kai before enōpion the ho four tessares living creatures zōon and kai the ho elders presbyteros. · kai No one oudeis was able dynamai to learn manthanō the ho song ōdē except ei mē the ho one hundred hekaton and forty-four tesserakonta tessares thousand chilias who ho had been redeemed agorazō from apo the ho earth . These houtos are eimi the hos ones who have molynō not ou been defiled molynō with meta women gynē, for gar they are eimi virgins parthenos. These houtos are the ho ones who follow akoloutheō the ho Lamb arnion wherever hopou an he goes hypagō. These houtos were redeemed agorazō from apo the ho human anthrōpos race as firstfruits aparchē for ho God theos and kai for the ho Lamb arnion, and kai in en · ho their autos mouth stoma no ou lie pseudos was found heuriskō; they are eimi blameless.

Then kai I saw another allos angel angelos flying petomai directly en overhead mesouranēma, with echō an eternal aiōnios gospel euangelion to proclaim euangelizō to epi those ho who live kathēmai on epi the ho earth · kai to epi every pas nation ethnos, · kai tribe phylē, · kai language glōssa, and kai people laos. And he said legō with en a loud megas voice phōnē, “ Fear phobeomai · ho God theos and kai give didōmi him autos glory doxa, because hoti the ho hour hōra of ho his autos judgment krisis has come erchomai, and kai worship proskyneō him ho who made poieō · ho heaven ouranos and kai · ho earth , · kai the sea thalassa and kai the springs pēgē of water hydōr.”

Then kai another allos angel angelos, a second deuteros, followed akoloutheō, saying legō, “ Fallen piptō, fallen piptō is Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas!— she potizō who hos has made potizō all pas nations ethnos drink potizō of ek the ho wine oinos of ho her autos passionate thumos · ho immorality porneia.” · ho

Then kai another allos angel angelos, a third tritos, followed akoloutheō them autos, declaring legō in en a loud megas voice phōnē, “ If ei anyone tis worships proskyneō the ho beast thērion and kai · ho his autos image eikōn, and kai receives lambanō a mark charagma on epi · ho his autos forehead metōpon or ē on epi · ho his autos hand cheir, 10 he autos also kai will drink pinō of ek the ho wine oinos of ho God’ s theos wrath thumos, · ho · ho poured kerannymi full strength akratos into en the ho cup potērion of ho his autos wrath orgē, and kai he will be tormented basanizō with en fire pyr and kai sulfur theion in the presence enōpion of the holy hagios angels angelos and kai in the presence enōpion of the ho Lamb arnion. 11 And kai the ho smoke kapnos from ho their autos torture basanismos will go up anabainō forever eis aiōn and ever aiōn, and kai those ho who worship proskyneō the ho beast thērion and kai his autos image eikōn will have echō no ou relief anapausis day hēmera or kai night nyx, · ho along with kai anyone tis who receives lambanō the ho mark charagma of ho his autos name onoma.”

12 This hōde calls for eimi · ho endurance hypomonē on the part of ho the saints hagios, those ho who keep tēreō the ho commandments entolē of ho God theos and kai hold fast to their ho faith pistis in Jesus Iēsous.

13 And kai I heard akouō a voice phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Write graphō this: Blessed makarios are the ho dead nekros who ho die apothnēskō in en the Lord kyrios from apo now arti on.” “ Yes nai indeed!” says legō the ho Spirit pneuma, “ so hina they can rest anapauō from ek · ho their autos labors kopos, · ho because gar their autos deeds ergon will follow akoloutheō them autos!”

14 Then kai I looked, and kai behold idou, a white leukos cloud nephelē, and kai seated kathēmai on epi the ho cloud nephelē was one like homoios a son hyios of man anthrōpos. He had echō a golden chrysous crown stephanos on epi · ho his autos head kephalē and kai a sharp oxys sickle drepanon in en · ho his autos hand cheir. 15 Then kai another allos angel angelos came exerchomai out of ek the ho temple naos, calling krazō with en a loud megas voice phōnē to the ho one who was sitting kathēmai on epi the ho cloud nephelē, “ Thrust in pempō · ho your sy sickle drepanon and kai reap therizō, for hoti the ho hour hōra to reap therizō has come erchomai, because hoti the ho harvest therismos of the ho earth is ripe xērainō.” 16 So kai the ho one who sat kathēmai on epi the ho cloud nephelē swung ballō · ho his autos sickle drepanon across epi the ho earth , and kai the ho earth was reaped therizō.

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion! And with him were one hundred forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.(A) And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps,(B) and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the one hundred forty-four thousand who have been redeemed from the earth. It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins; these follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed from humankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,(C) and in their mouth no lie was found; they are blameless.(D)

The Messages of the Three Angels

Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live[a] on the earth—to every nation and tribe and language and people.(E) He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(F)

Then another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her prostitution.”(G)

Then another angel, a third, followed them, crying with a loud voice, “Those who worship the beast and its image and receive the brand on their foreheads or on their hands,(H) 10 they will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and they will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.(I) 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image and for anyone who receives the brand of its name.”(J)

12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and hold fast to the faith of[b] Jesus.(K)

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who from now on die in the Lord.” “Yes,”[c] says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them.”(L)

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

14 Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like the Son of Man, with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand!(M) 15 Another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to the one who sat on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.”(N) 16 So the one who sat on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he, too, had a sharp sickle. 18 Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.”(O) 19 So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and he threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse’s bridle, for a distance of about one thousand six hundred stadia.(P)
