The Sealing of the 144,000
7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east[a], holding the seal of the living God, and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who were given permission[b] to damage the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the slaves of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of the ones who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,
6 from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,
7 from the tribe of Simeon,[c] twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,
8 from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.
The Great Crowd before the Throne
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great crowd that no one was able to number, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes and with palm branches in their hands. 10 And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying,
“Salvation to our God
who is seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb!”
11 And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying,
“Amen! Praise and glory,
and wisdom and thanksgiving,
and honor and power and strength
be to our God forever and ever[d]. Amen!”
13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are dressed in the white robes—who are they, and from where have they come?” 14 And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me,
“These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation,
and have washed their robes
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Because of this, they are before the throne of God,
and they serve[e] him day and night in his temple,
and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter[f] them.
16 They will not be hungry any longer or be thirsty any longer,
nor will the sun ever beat down on them, nor any heat,[g]
17 because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them
and will lead them to springs of living waters,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”[h]

De etthundrafyrtiofyra tusen
7 (A) Sedan såg jag fyra änglar stå vid jordens fyra hörn och hålla tillbaka jordens fyra vindar så att ingen vind skulle blåsa över jorden eller havet eller något träd. 2 Och jag såg en annan ängel som kom upp från öster med den levande Gudens sigill[a]. Han ropade med stark röst till de fyra änglarna som hade fått makt att skada jorden och havet: 3 (B) "Skada inte jorden eller havet eller träden förrän vi har satt sigill på vår Guds tjänares pannor!"
4 (C) Och jag hörde antalet av dem som hade fått sigillet, etthundrafyrtiofyra tusen[b] från Israels alla stammar:
5 av Juda stam tolv tusen
som fått sigillet,
av Rubens stam tolv tusen,
av Gads stam tolv tusen,
6 av Ashers stam tolv tusen,
av Naftalis stam tolv tusen,
av Manasses stam tolv tusen,
7 av Simeons stam tolv tusen,
av Levis stam tolv tusen,
av Isaskars stam tolv tusen,
8 av Sebulons stam tolv tusen,
av Josefs stam tolv tusen
och av Benjamins stam tolv tusen
som fått sigillet.
Den stora vitklädda skaran
9 (D) Därefter såg jag, och se: en stor skara som ingen kunde räkna, av alla folk och stammar och länder och språk. De stod inför tronen och inför Lammet, klädda i vita kläder och med palmblad[c] i sina händer, 10 (E) och de ropade med stark röst:
"Frälsningen tillhör vår Gud,
som sitter på tronen,
och Lammet!"
11 (F) Och alla änglarna stod runt tronen och de äldste och de fyra varelserna, och de föll ner på sina ansikten inför tronen och tillbad Gud 12 och sade:
"Amen!
Lovsången, härligheten,
visheten, tacksägelsen,
äran, makten och kraften
tillhör vår Gud
i evigheters evighet.
Amen."
13 (G) En av de äldste frågade mig: "Dessa som är klädda i vita kläder, vilka är de och varifrån kommer de?" 14 (H) Jag svarade: "Min herre, du vet det."
Då sade han till mig: "Det är de som kommer ur den stora nöden. De har tvättat sina kläder och gjort dem vita i Lammets blod. 15 (I) Därför står de inför Guds tron och tjänar honom dag och natt i hans tempel, och han som sitter på tronen ska slå upp sitt tält[d] över dem. 16 (J) De ska aldrig mer hungra och aldrig mer törsta, och varken solen eller någon annan hetta ska drabba dem, 17 (K) för Lammet mitt på tronen[e] ska vara deras herde. Han ska leda dem till livets vattenkällor, och Gud ska torka alla tårar från deras ögon."

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,

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)
