The 144,000 People of Israel
7 (A)After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so that no wind should blow on the earth or the sea or against any tree. 2 And I saw another angel coming up from the east with the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels to whom God had given the power to damage the earth and the sea. 3 (B)The angel said, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we mark the servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads.” 4 And I was told that the number of those who were marked with God's seal on their foreheads was 144,000. They were from the twelve tribes of Israel, 5-8 twelve thousand from each tribe: Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.
The Enormous Crowd
9 (C)After this I looked, and there was an enormous crowd—no one could count all the people! They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood in front of the throne and of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. 10 They called out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God, who sits on the throne, and from the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures. Then they threw themselves face downward in front of the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Praise, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might belong to our God forever and ever! Amen!”
13 One of the elders asked me, “Who are these people dressed in white robes, and where do they come from?”
14 (D)“I don't know, sir. You do,” I answered.
He said to me, “These are the people who have come safely through the terrible persecution. They have washed their robes and made them white with the blood of the Lamb. 15 That is why they stand before God's throne and serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will protect them with his presence. 16 (E)Never again will they hunger or thirst; neither sun nor any scorching heat will burn them, 17 (F)because the Lamb, who is in the center of the throne, will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

以色列人受印
7 这事以后，我看见四位天使站在大地的四角上，掌握着大地四方的风，不让风吹在大地、海洋或任何树木上。 2 接着，我看见另一位天使，拿着永生神的封印，从东方[a]上来。他对那些被准许伤害大地和海洋的四位天使大声呼喊， 3 说：“不要伤害大地、海洋和树木，直到我们在我们神的奴仆们额上盖了印。” 4 我又听见了那些被盖上印之人的数目，
以色列子民各支派中被盖上印的有十四万四千人：
5 犹大支派中被盖上印的有一万二千[b]人；
鲁本支派中[c]有一万二千人；
迦得支派中有一万二千人；
6 亚设支派中有一万二千人；
拿弗他利支派中有一万二千人；
玛拿西支派中有一万二千人；
7 西缅支派中有一万二千人；
利未支派中有一万二千人；
以萨迦支派中有一万二千人；
8 西布伦支派中有一万二千人；
约瑟支派中有一万二千人；
便雅悯支派中被盖上印的有一万二千人。
各族各方的群众
9 这些事以后，我观看，看哪，有一大群人，没有人能够数过来。他们来自各国家、各支派、各民族、各语言群体。他们身穿白袍，手里拿着棕榈枝，站在宝座和羔羊面前， 10 大声呼喊说：
“救恩属于坐在宝座上我们的神、
属于羔羊！”
11 所有的天使都站在宝座、长老们和四个活物的周围；他们在宝座前，把脸伏在地上，敬拜神， 12 说：
“阿们！愿颂赞、荣耀、智慧、
感谢、尊贵、权能、力量
都归于我们的神，直到永永远远！阿们。”
13 长老中有一位问我，说：“这些身穿白袍的是谁？他们是从哪里来的？”
14 我对他说：“我主啊，你是知道的。”
他就对我说：

144,000 Sealed
7 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. 2 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) 3 “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.” 4 Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.
5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 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
9 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:
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)
