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)

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 would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree. 2 I saw another angel coming up from the east with a seal from the living God, and he shouted to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea, 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!” 4 I heard how many were sealed — 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Isra’el:
| 5 From the tribe of Y’hudah | 12,000 were sealed |
| from the tribe of Re’uven | 12,000 |
| from the tribe of Gad, | 12,000 |
| 6 from the tribe of Asher | 12,000 |
| from the tribe of Naftali | 12,000 |
| from the tribe of M’nasheh | 12,000 |
| 7 from the tribe of Shim‘on | 12,000 |
| from the tribe of Levi | 12,000 |
| from the tribe of Yissakhar | 12,000 |
| 8 from the tribe of Z’vulun | 12,000 |
| from the tribe of Yosef | 12,000 |
| from the tribe of Binyamin | 12,000 |
9 After this, I looked; and there before me was a huge crowd, too large for anyone to count, from every nation, tribe, people and language. They were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands; 10 and they shouted,
“Victory to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb!”
11 All the angels stood around the throne, the elders and the four living beings; they fell face down before the throne and worshipped God, saying,
12 “Amen!
“Praise and glory, wisdom and thanks,
honor and power and strength
belong to our God forever and ever!
“Amen!”
13 One of the elders asked me, “These people dressed in white robes — who are they, and where are they from?” 14 “Sir,” I answered, “you know.” Then he told me, “These are the people who have come out of the Great Persecution. They have washed their robes and made them white with the blood of the Lamb. 15 That is why they are before God’s throne.
“Day and night they serve him in his Temple;
and the One who sits on the throne
will put his Sh’khinah upon them.
16 “They will never again be hungry,
they will never again be thirsty,
the sun will not beat down on them,
nor will any burning heat.[a]
17 “For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will shepherd them, will lead them
to springs of living water,[b]
and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”[c]

Les cent quarante-quatre mille marqués du sceau de Dieu[a]
7 Après cela, je vis quatre anges ; ils se tenaient debout aux quatre coins de la terre. Ils retenaient les quatre vents de la terre pour qu’aucun vent ne souffle ni sur la terre, ni sur la mer, ni sur aucun arbre.
2 Et je vis un autre ange monter du côté de l’orient. Il tenait le sceau du Dieu vivant. Il cria d’une voix forte aux quatre anges auxquels Dieu avait donné le pouvoir de ravager la terre et la mer. 3 Il leur dit : Ne faites pas de mal à la terre, à la mer, ni aux arbres, tant que nous n’avons pas marqué du sceau le front des serviteurs de notre Dieu[b].
4 J’entendis le nombre de ceux qui furent ainsi marqués : ils étaient cent quarante-quatre mille de toutes les tribus du peuple d’Israël à porter cette marque : 5 douze mille de la tribu de Juda marqués du sceau, douze mille de la tribu de Ruben, douze mille de la tribu de Gad, 6 douze mille de la tribu d’Aser, douze mille de la tribu de Nephtali, douze mille de la tribu de Manassé, 7 douze mille de la tribu de Siméon, douze mille de la tribu de Lévi, douze mille de la tribu d’Issacar, 8 douze mille de la tribu de Zabulon, douze mille de la tribu de Joseph, douze mille de la tribu de Benjamin, marqués du sceau.
L’Eglise triomphante
9 Après cela, je vis une foule immense, que nul ne pouvait dénombrer. C’étaient des gens de toute nation, de toute tribu, de tout peuple, de toute langue. Ils se tenaient debout devant le trône et devant l’Agneau, vêtus de tuniques blanches et ils avaient à la main des branches de palmiers[c]. 10 Ils proclamaient d’une voix forte : Le salut appartient à notre Dieu qui siège sur le trône, et à l’Agneau.
11 Et tous les anges se tenaient debout tout autour du trône, des représentants du peuple de Dieu et des quatre êtres vivants. Ils se prosternèrent face contre terre devant le trône et ils adorèrent Dieu en disant :
12 Amen !
A notre Dieu soient la louange,
la gloire et la sagesse,
la reconnaissance et l’honneur,
la puissance et la force
pour toute éternité !
Amen !
13 Alors l’un des représentants du peuple de Dieu prit la parole et me demanda : Ces gens vêtus d’une tunique blanche, qui sont-ils et d’où sont-ils venus ?
14 Je lui répondis : Mon seigneur, c’est toi qui le sais.
Il reprit : Ce sont ceux qui viennent de la grande détresse. Ils ont lavé et blanchi leurs tuniques dans le sang de l’Agneau. 15 C’est pourquoi ils se tiennent devant le trône de Dieu et lui rendent un culte nuit et jour dans son temple. Et celui qui siège sur le trône les abritera sous sa tente[d].
16 Ils ne connaîtront plus ni la faim, ni la soif ; ils ne souffriront plus des ardeurs du soleil, ni d’aucune chaleur brûlante[e]. 17 Car l’Agneau qui est au milieu du trône prendra soin d’eux comme un berger, il les conduira vers les sources d’eaux vives, et Dieu lui-même essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux[f].
