Revelation 14
Easy-to-Read Version
God’s People Sing a New Song
14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, who was standing on Mount Zion.[a] There were 144,000 people with him. They all had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
2 And I heard a sound from heaven as loud as the crashing of floodwaters or claps of thunder. But it sounded like harpists playing their harps. 3 The people sang a new song before the throne and before the four living beings and the elders. The only ones who could learn the new song were the 144,000 who had been bought from the earth. No one else could learn it.
4 These are the ones who did not do sinful things with women. They kept themselves pure. Now they follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were bought from among the people of the earth as the first to be offered to God and the Lamb. 5 They are not guilty of telling lies; they are without fault.
The Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying high in the air. The angel had the eternal Good News to announce to the people living on earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and race of people. 7 The angel said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him praise. The time has come for God to judge all people. Worship God. He made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the springs of water.”
8 Then the second angel followed the first angel and said, “She is destroyed! The great city of Babylon is destroyed! She made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual sin and of God’s anger.”
9 A third angel followed the first two angels. This third angel said in a loud voice, “God will punish all those who worship the beast and the beast’s idol and agree to have the beast’s mark on their forehead or on their hand. 10 They will drink the wine of God’s anger. This wine is prepared with all its strength in the cup of God’s anger. They will be tortured with burning sulfur before the holy angels and the Lamb. 11 And the smoke from their burning pain will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest, day or night, for those who worship the beast and its idol or who wear the mark of its name.” 12 This means that God’s holy people must be patient. They must obey God’s commands and keep their faith in Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven. It said, “Write this: From now on there are great blessings for those who belong to the Lord when they die.”
The Spirit says, “Yes, that is true. They will rest from their hard work. What they have done will stay with them.”
The Earth Is Harvested
14 I looked and there before me, sitting on a white cloud, was one who looked like the Son of Man. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple. This angel called to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and gather from the earth. The time to harvest has come, and the fruit on the earth is ripe.” 16 So the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth. And the earth was harvested.
17 Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven. This angel also had a sharp sickle. 18 And then another angel, one with power over the fire, came from the altar. He called to the angel with the sharp sickle and said, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the bunches of grapes from the earth’s vine. The earth’s grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle over the earth. He gathered the earth’s grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s anger. 20 The grapes were squeezed in the winepress outside the city. Blood flowed out of the winepress. It rose as high as the heads of the horses for a distance of 200 miles.[b]

Revelation 14
King James Version
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Pahayag 14
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Awit ng 144,000
14 Pagkatapos ay tumingin (A) ako, at naroon ang Korderong nakatayo sa bundok ng Zion! Kasama niya ang isandaan apatnapu't apat na libo na ang pangalan niya at ng kanyang Ama ay nakasulat sa kanilang mga noo. 2 Isang tinig ang narinig ko mula sa langit na parang ingay ng maraming tubig at parang dagundong ng malakas na kulog. Ang tinig na narinig ko ay parang tugtugan ng mga manunugtog ng mga alpa. 3 Umaawit sila ng isang bagong awitin sa harapan ng apat na buháy na nilalang at ng mga matatanda. Hindi kayang matutuhan ng sinuman ang awiting iyon maliban sa isandaan at apatnapu't apat na libong tinubos mula sa lupa. 4 Sila ay ang hindi dumungis ng kanilang sarili sa mga babae, sapagkat hindi sila nakipagtalik. Sumusunod sila sa Kordero saan man siya magpunta. Sila'y tinubos mula sa sangkatauhan bilang mga unang alay sa Diyos at sa Kordero. 5 Walang (B) lumabas na kasinungalingan sa kanilang bibig; walang anumang maipaparatang laban sa kanila.
Ang Mensahe ng Tatlong Anghel
6 Pagkatapos, nakita ko ang isa pang anghel na lumilipad sa himpapawid, dala niya ang walang hanggang ebanghelyo upang ipahayag sa mga naninirahan sa lupa, sa bawat bansa, lipi, wika, at bayan. 7 Malakas na sinabi niya, “ Matakot kayo sa Diyos at luwalhatiin ninyo siya, sapagkat ang oras ng kanyang paghuhukom ay dumating na. Sambahin ninyo siya—siyang lumikha ng langit at ng lupa, ng dagat at ng mga bukal ng tubig.”
8 At (C) ang pangalawang anghel ay sumunod na nagsasabi, “Bumagsak, bumagsak ang dakilang Babilonia! Pinainom niya ang lahat ng bansa ng alak ng poot ng kanyang imoralidad.”
9 At pagkatapos, sumunod sa kanila ang ikatlong anghel na nagsasabi nang malakas, “Sinumang sumasamba sa halimaw at sa larawan nito at tumatanggap ng tanda sa kanyang mga noo at sa kanyang mga kamay, 10 ay (D) iinom din sa alak ng poot ng Diyos, na ibubuhos na walang halo sa kopa ng kanyang galit. Ang taong iyon ay pahihirapan sa apoy at asupre sa harapan ng mga banal na anghel at ng Kordero. 11 Ang (E) usok ng kanilang paghihirap ay pumapailanlang magpakailanpaman. Wala silang kapahingahan araw at gabi, silang sumasamba sa halimaw at sa larawan nito at sinumang tumatanggap ng tanda ng pangalan nito.”
12 Ito ay panawagan para sa pagtitiis ng mga banal, sila na tumutupad sa mga utos ng Diyos at patuloy na sumasampalataya kay Jesus.
13 At pagkatapos isang tinig ang narinig ko mula sa langit na nagsasabi, “Isulat mo ito: Mula ngayon, pinagpala ang mga namatay dahil sa Panginoon.” “Totoo,” sabi ng Espiritu, “magpapahinga sila mula sa kanilang mga pagpapagal, sapagkat susundan sila ng kanilang mga gawa.”
Ang Pag-aani sa Lupa
14 Pagkatapos, (F) tumingin ako, naroon ang isang puting ulap, nakaupo sa ibabaw nito ang isang tulad ng anak ng tao na may koronang ginto sa kanyang ulo, at may hawak na isang matalas na karit! 15 Isa (G) pang anghel ang lumabas mula sa templo, sumisigaw nang malakas sa kanyang nakaupo sa ulap, “Gamitin mo na ang iyong karit at gumapas ka, sapagkat ang oras ng paggapas ay dumating na at ang aanihin sa lupa ay handa nang anihin.” 16 Kaya iwinasiwas sa lupa ng nakaupo sa ulap ang kanyang karit, at ginapasan ang lupa.
17 Isa pang anghel ang lumabas mula sa templo sa langit, may dala ring matalas na karit. 18 Pagkatapos ay isa pang anghel ang lumabas mula sa dambana, ang anghel na may kapangyarihan sa apoy. Nagsalita siya nang malakas sa anghel na may matalas na karit, “Gamitin mo ang iyong karit at anihin ang mga kumpol ng ubas sa lupa, sapagkat hinog na ang mga ito.” 19 Kaya iwinasiwas ng anghel ang kanyang karit sa lupa, tinipon ang mga aning ubas at inihagis ang mga ito sa malaking pisaan ng ubas na siyang poot ng Diyos. 20 At (H) pinisa ang mga ubas sa pisaan na nasa labas ng lungsod, at mula sa pisaan ay bumaha ang dugong umabot ang taas hanggang sa renda ng mga kabayo, at ang lawak ay halos tatlong daang kilometro.[a]

Revelation 14
New International Version
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,(A) standing on Mount Zion,(B) and with him 144,000(C) who had his name and his Father’s name(D) written on their foreheads.(E) 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.(H) 3 And they sang a new song(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures(J) and the elders.(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.(N) They were purchased from among mankind(O) and offered as firstfruits(P) to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths;(Q) they are blameless.(R)
The Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair,(S) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth(T)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.(U) 7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God(V) and give him glory,(W) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made(X) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(Y)
8 A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’[a](Z) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”(AA)
9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast(AB) and its image(AC) and receives its mark on their forehead(AD) or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,(AE) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.(AF) They will be tormented with burning sulfur(AG) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.(AH) There will be no rest day or night(AI) for those who worship the beast and its image,(AJ) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”(AK) 12 This calls for patient endurance(AL) on the part of the people of God(AM) who keep his commands(AN) and remain faithful to Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord(AO) from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit,(AP) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(AQ) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[b](AR) with a crown(AS) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(AT) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(AU) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(AV) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(AW) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(AX) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(AY) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AZ) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(BA) outside the city,(BB) and blood(BC) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[c]
