And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Y DESPUÉS de estas cosas vi cuatro ángeles que estaban sobre los cuatro ángulos de la tierra, deteniendo los cuatro vientos de la tierra, para que no soplase viento sobre la tierra, ni sobre la mar, ni sobre ningún árbol.

Y vi otro ángel que subía del nacimiento del sol, teniendo el sello del Dios vivo: y clamó con gran voz á los cuatro ángeles, á los cuales era dado hacer daño á la tierra y á la mar,

Diciendo: No hagáis daño á la tierra, ni al mar, ni á los árboles, hasta que señalemos á los siervos de nuestro Dios en sus frentes.

Y oí el número de los señalados: ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil señalados de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel.

De la tribu de Judá, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Rubén, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Gad, doce mil señalados.

De la tribu de Aser, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Neftalí, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Manasés, doce mil señalados.

De la tribu de Simeón, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Leví, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Issachâr, doce mil señalados.

De la tribu de Zabulón, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de José, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Benjamín, doce mil señalados.

Después de estas cosas miré, y he aquí una gran compañía, la cual ninguno podía contar, de todas gentes y linajes y pueblos y lenguas, que estaban delante del trono y en la presencia del Cordero, vestidos de ropas blancas, y palmas en sus manos;

10 Y clamaban en alta voz, diciendo: Salvación á nuestro Dios que está sentado sobre el trono, y al Cordero.

11 Y todos los ángeles estaban alrededor del trono, y de los ancianos y los cuatro animales; y postráronse sobre sus rostros delante del trono, y adoraron á Dios,

12 Diciendo: Amén: La bendición y la gloria y la sabiduría, y la acción de gracias y la honra y la potencia y la fortaleza, sean á nuestro Dios para siempre jamás. Amén.

13 Y respondió uno de los ancianos, diciéndome: Estos que están vestidos de ropas blancas, ¿quiénes son, y de dónde han venido?

14 Y yo le dije: Señor, tú lo sabes. Y él me dijo: Estos son los que han venido de grande tribulación, y han lavado sus ropas, y las han blanqueado en la sangre del Cordero.

15 Por esto están delante del trono de Dios, y le sirven día y noche en su templo: y el que está sentado en el trono tenderá su pabellón sobre ellos.

16 No tendrán más hambre, ni sed, y el sol no caerá más sobre ellos, ni otro ningún calor.

17 Porque el Cordero que está en medio del trono los pastoreará, y los guiará á fuentes vivas de aguas: y Dios limpiará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos.

The 144,000 of Israel Sealed

Then I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind would not blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. He cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” Then I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

Twelve thousand from the tribe of Judah were sealed,

twelve throusand from the tribe of Reuben were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Gad were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Asher were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Naphtali were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Manasseh were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Simeon were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Levi were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Issachar were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Zebulun were sealed,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Joseph were sealed,

and twelve thousand from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.

The Multitude From Every Nation

Then I looked. And there was a great multitude which no one could count, from all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried out with a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb!”

11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures and fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, 12 saying:

“Amen!
Blessing and glory
and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might
be to our God forever and ever!
Amen.”

13 Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these clothed in white robes, and where did they come from?”

14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.”

He said to me, “These are those who came out of great tribulation and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,

they are before the throne of God,
    and serve Him day and night in His temple.
And He who sits on the throne
    will dwell among them.
16 ‘They shall neither hunger any more,
    nor shall they thirst any more;
the sun shall not strike them,’[a]
    nor any scorching heat;
17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne
    will shepherd them
and ‘He will lead them to springs of living water.’[b]
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’[c]
