Revelation 7
International Children’s Bible
The 144,000 People of Israel
7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth. The angels were holding the four winds of the earth. They were stopping the wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming from the east. This angel had the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels. These were the four angels that God had given power to harm the earth and the sea. He said to the four angels, 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees before we put the sign on the people who serve our God. We must put the sign on their foreheads.” 4 Then I heard how many people were marked with the sign. There were 144,000. They were from every tribe of the people of Israel.
5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were marked with the sign,
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 Crowd
9 Then I looked, and there was a great number of people. There were so many people that no one could count them. They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language of the earth. They were all standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and had palm branches in their hands. 10 They were shouting in a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11 The elders[a] and the four living things were there. All the angels were standing around them and the throne. The angels bowed down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God. 12 They were saying, “Amen! Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength belong to our God forever and ever. Amen!”
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these people in white robes? Where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “You know who they are, sir.”
And the elder said, “These are the people who have come out of the great suffering. They have washed their robes[b] with the blood of the Lamb. Now they are clean and white. 15 And they are before the throne of God. They worship God day and night in his temple. And the One who sits on the throne will protect them. 16 Those people will never be hungry again. They will never be thirsty again. The sun will not hurt them. No heat will burn them. 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of water that give life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Apocalipsa 7
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
7 După aceea am văzut patru îngeri care stăteau în picioare în cele patru colţuri ale pământului. Ei ţineau(A) cele patru vânturi ale pământului, ca(B) să nu sufle vânt pe pământ, nici pe mare, nici peste vreun copac. 2 Şi am văzut un alt înger care se suia dinspre răsăritul soarelui şi care avea pecetea Dumnezeului celui viu. El a strigat cu glas tare la cei patru îngeri cărora le fusese dat să vatăme pământul şi marea, 3 zicând: „Nu(C) vătămaţi pământul, nici marea, nici copacii până nu vom pune pecetea(D) pe fruntea(E) slujitorilor Dumnezeului nostru!” 4 Şi(F) am auzit numărul celor ce fuseseră pecetluiţi: o(G) sută patruzeci şi patru de mii din toate seminţiile fiilor lui Israel. 5 Din seminţia lui Iuda, douăsprezece mii erau pecetluiţi; din seminţia lui Ruben, douăsprezece mii; din seminţia lui Gad, douăsprezece mii; 6 din seminţia lui Aşer, douăsprezece mii; din seminţia lui Neftali, douăsprezece mii; din seminţia lui Manase, douăsprezece mii; 7 din seminţia lui Simeon, douăsprezece mii; din seminţia lui Levi, douăsprezece mii; din seminţia lui Isahar, douăsprezece mii; 8 din seminţia lui Zabulon, douăsprezece mii; din seminţia lui Iosif, douăsprezece mii; din seminţia lui Beniamin, douăsprezece mii au fost pecetluiţi. 9 După aceea m-am uitat şi iată că era o mare(H) gloată pe care nu putea s-o numere nimeni, din(I) orice neam, din orice seminţie, din orice norod şi de orice limbă, care stătea în picioare înaintea scaunului de domnie şi înaintea Mielului, îmbrăcaţi(J) în haine albe, cu ramuri de finic în mâini 10 şi strigau cu glas tare şi ziceau: „Mântuirea(K) este a Dumnezeului nostru, care(L) şade pe scaunul de domnie, şi a Mielului!” 11 Şi(M) toţi îngerii stăteau împrejurul scaunului de domnie, împrejurul bătrânilor şi împrejurul celor patru făpturi vii. Şi s-au aruncat cu feţele la pământ în faţa scaunului de domnie şi s-au închinat lui Dumnezeu 12 şi au zis(N): „Amin. Ale Dumnezeului nostru să fie lauda, slava, înţelepciunea, mulţumirile, cinstea, puterea şi tăria în vecii vecilor! Amin.” 13 Şi unul din bătrâni a luat cuvântul şi mi-a zis: „Aceştia, care sunt îmbrăcaţi în haine(O) albe, cine sunt oare? Şi de unde au venit?” 14 „Doamne”, i-am răspuns eu, „Tu ştii”. Şi el mi-a zis: „Aceştia(P) vin din necazul cel mare; ei şi-au spălat(Q) hainele şi le-au albit în sângele Mielului. 15 Pentru aceasta stau ei înaintea scaunului de domnie al lui Dumnezeu şi-I slujesc zi şi noapte în Templul Lui. Cel ce şade pe scaunul de domnie îşi va întinde(R) peste ei cortul Lui. 16 Nu(S) le va mai fi foame, nu le va mai fi sete; nu-i va mai dogori nici(T) soarele, nici vreo altă arşiţă. 17 Căci Mielul, care stă în mijlocul scaunului de domnie, va fi Păstorul lor(U), îi va duce la izvoarele apelor vieţii şi(V) Dumnezeu va şterge orice lacrimă din ochii lor.”

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)
