Revelation 7
World English Bible
7 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. 2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!” 4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed,
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand,
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I told him, “My lord, you know.”
He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.[a] They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. 16 They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

7 Dopo queste cose, vidi quattro angeli che stavano in piedi ai quattro angoli della terra e trattenevano i quattro venti della terra, perché non soffiasse vento sulla terra né sul mare né su alcun albero.
2 Poi vidi un altro angelo che saliva dal sol levante, il quale aveva il sigillo del Dio vivente, e gridò a gran voce ai quattro angeli, ai quali era stato concesso di danneggiare la terra e il mare,
3 dicendo: «Non danneggiate la terra né il mare né gli alberi, finché non abbiamo segnato sulla fronte i servi del nostro Dio».
4 Quindi udii il numero di quelli che erano stati segnati: centoquarantaquattromila segnati di tutte le tribú dei figli d'Israele.
5 Della tribú di Giuda, dodicimila segnati; della tribú di Ruben, dodicimila segnati; della tribú di Gad, dodicimila segnati;
6 della tribú di Aser, dodicimila segnati, della tribú di Neftali, dodicimila segnati; della tribú di Manasse, dodicimila segnati;
7 della tribú di Simeone, dodicimila segnati; della tribú di Levi, dodicimila segnati; della tribú di Issacar, dodicimila segnati
8 della tribú di Zabulon, dodicimila segnati; della tribú di Giuseppe, dodicimila segnati; della tribú di Beniamino, dodicimila segnati.
9 Dopo queste cose vidi una grande folla che nessuno poteva contare, di tutte le nazioni, tribú, popoli e lingue; questi stavano in piedi davanti al trono e davanti all'Agnello, coperti di vesti bianche e avevano delle palme nelle mani.
10 E gridavano a gran voce, dicendo: «La salvezza appartiene al nostro Dio che siede sul trono e all'Agnello».
11 E tutti gli angeli stavano in piedi intorno al trono e agli anziani e ai quattro esseri viventi, e si prostrarono sulle loro facce davanti al trono e adorarono Dio,
12 dicendo: «Amen! La benedizione, la gloria, la sapienza, il ringraziamento, l'onore, la potenza e la forza appartengono al nostro Dio nei secoli dei secoli. Amen!».
13 Poi uno degli anziani si rivolse a me, dicendo: «Chi sono costoro che sono coperti di bianche vesti, e da dove sono venuti?».
14 Ed io gli dissi: «Signore mio, tu lo sai». Egli allora mi disse: «Costoro sono quelli che sono venuti dalla grande tribolazione, e hanno lavato le loro vesti e le hanno imbiancate nel sangue dell'Agnello.
15 Per questo essi sono davanti al trono di Dio e lo servono giorno e notte nel suo tempio; e colui che siede sul trono dimorerà tra di loro.
16 Essi non avranno piú fame né sete non li colpirà piú né il sole né arsura alcuna,
17 perché l'Agnello, che è in mezzo al trono, li pascolerà e li guiderà alle vive fonti delle acque; e Dio asciugherà ogni lacrima dai loro occhi».

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)
