Revelation 14
New Matthew Bible
The Lamb stands upon mount Zion, and the undefiled congregation with him. The angel exhorts to the fear of God, and tells of the fall of Babylon.
14 And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on mount Zion, and with him 144,000 having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven as the sound of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder. And I heard the sound of harpers harping with their harps, 3 and they sang as it were a new song before the seat, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn that song except the 144,000 who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from mankind, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouths was found no guile. For they are without spot before the throne of God.
6 And I saw an angel fly in the midst of heaven, having an everlasting gospel to preach to those who sit and dwell on the earth, and to all nations, kindreds, and tongues, and people, 7 saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give honour to him, for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the springs of water.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city. For she made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead or on his hand, 10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured in the cup of his wrath. And he will be punished in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up evermore. And they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the print of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they that keep the commandments and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write: Blessed are the dead who die hereafter in the Lord, as the Spirit affirms, that they may rest from their labours; but their works shall follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like 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 who sat on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come to reap! For the corn of the earth is ripe. 16 And he who 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 that is in heaven, having also a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, and said, Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the earth, for her grapes are ripe! 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle on the earth and cut down the grapes of the vineyard of the earth, and cast them into the great wine-vat of the wrath of God. 20 And the wine-vat was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the vat, even up to the horses’ bridles, for the space of 1,600 furlongs.
Revelation 14
English Standard Version
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and behold, on (A)Mount Zion (B)stood the Lamb, and with him (C)144,000 who (D)had his name and his Father's name written (E)on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven (F)like the roar of many waters and (G)like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of (H)harpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing (I)a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. (J)No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for (K)they are virgins. It is these (L)who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as (M)firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and (N)in their mouth no lie was found, for they are (O)blameless.
The Messages of the Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel (P)flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to (Q)those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, (R)“Fear God and (S)give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and (T)worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the (U)springs of water.”
8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, (V)“Fallen, fallen is (W)Babylon the great, (X)she who made all nations drink (Y)the wine of the passion[a] of her sexual immorality.”
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone (Z)worships the beast and its image and receives (AA)a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink (AB)the wine of God's wrath, (AC)poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and (AD)he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And (AE)the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and (AF)they have no rest, day or night, these (AG)worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
12 (AH)Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who (AI)keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.[b]
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: (AJ)Blessed are the dead (AK)who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, (AL)“that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
The Harvest of the Earth
14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one (AM)like a son of man, (AN)with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel (AO)came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, (AP)“Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for (AQ)the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” 16 So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across 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 And another angel came out from the altar, (AR)the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, (AS)for its grapes are ripe.” 19 So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great (AT)winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And (AU)the winepress was trodden (AV)outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as (AW)a horse's bridle, for 1,600 stadia.[c]

Apocalipse 14
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
O cântico dos servos de Deus
14 Depois eu olhei e o Cordeiro estava diante de mim em pé sobre o monte Sião.[a] Com ele estavam 144.000 pessoas que tinham os nomes do Cordeiro e do seu Pai escritos em suas testas. 2 Então ouvi uma voz do céu, que parecia o barulho de uma grande cachoeira, ou o som de um forte trovão. A voz que eu ouvi era como a música de harpistas tocando as suas harpas. 3 As pessoas cantavam um cântico novo[b] diante do trono, dos quatro seres viventes e dos líderes. E ninguém podia aprender o cântico, senão as 144.000 pessoas que tinham sido compradas e tiradas do mundo. 4 Estas pessoas são como as pessoas virgens, que não se contaminaram com mulheres. São elas que seguem o Cordeiro para onde quer que ele vá. Elas foram compradas entre todas as outras pessoas da humanidade e são os primeiros frutos da colheita a serem oferecidos a Deus e ao Cordeiro. 5 Eles nunca disseram nada que fosse mentira e não tinham nenhum pecado.
Os três anjos
6 Depois vi outro anjo voando pelo meio do céu. Ele tinha a mensagem eterna das Boas Novas para anunciar aos que vivem na terra: a todas as nações, famílias, línguas e povos. 7 O anjo disse em voz alta:
—Respeitem a Deus e deem-lhe glória, pois chegou a hora de ele julgar a humanidade. Adorem aquele que fez o céu, a terra, o mar e as fontes de água.
8 Um segundo anjo seguiu o primeiro e disse:
—Caiu! Caiu a grande cidade de Babilônia! Ela fez com que todas as nações bebessem do vinho do seu adultério, o qual se transformaria no vinho da ira de Deus.
9 Um terceiro anjo seguiu os outros dois e disse em voz alta:
—Aqueles que adorarem o monstro e a sua imagem e receberem a sua marca na testa ou sobre a mão, 10 irão beber do vinho da ira de Deus, o qual está preparado, sem mistura, no cálice da ira de Deus. Eles serão atormentados com fogo e enxofre, diante dos santos anjos e na presença do Cordeiro. 11 A fumaça do seu tormento nunca vai parar de subir. Não haverá descanso algum, nem de dia nem de noite, para aqueles que adoram o monstro e a sua imagem e para quem quer que receba a marca do seu nome. 12 Esta situação exige perseverança da parte do povo de Deus, o qual obedece aos mandamentos de Deus e continua a ter fé em Jesus.
13 Então ouvi uma voz do céu, dizendo:
—Escreva isto: De agora em diante, felizes são aqueles que morrem no Senhor.
E o Espírito disse:
—Sim, é verdade. Agora eles podem descansar dos seus trabalhos, pois as suas obras os acompanham.
A colheita
14 Depois eu olhei e havia diante de mim uma nuvem branca e, sobre a nuvem, estava sentado alguém que parecia com o Filho do Homem. Ele tinha uma coroa de ouro na cabeça e uma foice afiada na mão. 15 Um outro anjo saiu do templo e gritou bem alto para aquele que estava sentado na nuvem:
—Por favor, pegue a sua foice e faça a colheita, pois chegou a hora de colher; a terra está pronta para a colheita.
16 Então aquele que estava sentado na nuvem passou a sua foice sobre a terra e fez a colheita.
17 Depois saiu outro anjo do templo, que está no céu, e ele também tinha uma foice afiada. 18 E saiu ainda outro anjo do altar. Ele tinha poder sobre o fogo e gritou bem alto para o anjo que tinha a foice afiada:
—Use a sua foice afiada e corte os cachos de uvas das videiras da terra, pois as uvas já estão maduras.
19 Então o anjo passou a sua foice sobre a terra, cortou os cachos de uvas das videiras e jogou as uvas num grande tanque para serem espremidas. Esse tanque representa a ira de Deus. 20 As uvas foram pisadas nesse tanque, fora da cidade. E correu tanto sangue desse tanque que chegou até aos freios dos cavalos, por uma distância de uns trezentos quilômetros[c].
