Uppenbarelseboken 14
Svenska 1917
14 Och jag fick se Lammet stå på Sions berg jämte det ett hundra fyrtiofyra tusen som hade dess namn och dess Faders namn skrivna på sina pannor.
2 Och jag hörde ett ljud från himmelen, likt bruset av stora vatten och dånet av ett starkt tordön; och ljudet som jag hörde var såsom när harpospelare spela på sina harpor.
3 Och de sjöngo inför tronen och inför de fyra väsendena och de äldste vad som tycktes vara en ny sång; och ingen kunde lära sig den sången, utom de ett hundra fyrtiofyra tusen som voro friköpta ifrån jorden.
4 Dessa äro de som icke hava orenat sig med kvinnor; ty de äro såsom jungfrur. Dessa äro de som följa Lammet varthelst det går. De hava blivit friköpta ifrån människorna till en förstling åt Gud och Lammet.
5 Och i deras mun har ingen lögn blivit funnen; de äro ostraffliga.
6 Och jag såg en annan ängel flyga fram uppe i himlarymden; han hade ett evigt evangelium, som han skulle förkunna för dem som bo på jorden, för alla folkslag och stammar och tungomål och folk.
7 Och han sade med hög röst: »Frukten Gud och given honom ära; ty stunden är kommen, då han skall hålla dom. Ja, tillbedjen honom som har skapat himmel och jord och hav och vattenkällor.
8 Och ännu en annan ängel följde honom; denne sade: »Fallet, fallet är det stora Babylon, som har givit alla folk att dricka av sin otukts vredesvin.»
9 Och ännu en tredje ängel följde dem; denne sade med hög röst: »Om någon tillbeder vilddjuret och dess bild och tager dess märke på sin panna eller på sin hand,
10 så skall ock han få dricka av Guds vredesvin, det som är iskänkt i hans vredes kalk, obemängt; och han skall bliva plågad med eld och svavel, i heliga änglars och i Lammets åsyn.
11 Och när de så plågas, uppstiger röken därav i evigheters evigheter, och de hava ingen ro, vaken dag eller natt, de som tillbedja vilddjuret och dess bild, eller som låta märka sig med dess namn.
12 Här gäller det för de heliga att hava ståndaktighet, för dem som hålla Guds bud och bevara tron på Jesus.»
13 Och jag hörde en röst från himmelen säga: »Skriv: Saliga äro de döda som dö i Herren härefter. Ja, säger Anden, de skola få vila sig från sitt arbete, ty deras gärningar följa dem.»
14 Och jag fick se en vit sky, och på skyn satt en som liknade en människoson; och han hade på sitt huvud en gyllene krans, och i sin hand en vass lie.
15 Och en annan ängel kom ut ur templet och ropade med hög röst till den som satt på skyn: »Låt din lie gå, och inbärga skörden; ty skördetiden är kommen, och säden på jorden är fullt mogen till skörd.»
16 Den som satt på skyn högg då till med sin lie på jorden, och jorden blev avbärgad.
17 Och en annan ängel kom ut ur templet i himmelen, och jämväl han hade en vass lie.
18 Och ännu en ängel kom fram ifrån altaret, den som hade makt över elden. Denne ropade med hög röst till den som hade den vassa lien; han sade »Låt din vassa lie gå, och skär av druvklasarna från vinträden på jorden, ty deras druvor äro fullmogna.»
19 Och ängeln högg till med sin lie på jorden och skar av frukten ifrån vinträden på jorden och kastade den i Guds vredes stora vinpress.
20 Och vinpressen trampade utanför staden, och blod gick ut från pressen och steg ända upp till betslen på hästarna, på en sträcka av ett tusen sex hundra stadier.
Revelation 14
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion,(A) and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.(B) 2 I heard a sound[a] from heaven like the sound of cascading waters(C) and like the rumbling of loud thunder. The sound I heard was like harpists playing on their harps.(D) 3 They sang[b] a new song(E) before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders,(F) but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, since they remained virgins.(G) These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed[c] from humanity as the firstfruits(H) for God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.(I)
The Proclamation of Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel(J) flying high overhead,(K) with the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth – to every nation, tribe, language, and people.(L) 7 He spoke with a loud voice:(M) ‘Fear God(N) and give him glory,(O) because the hour of his judgement has come.(P) Worship the one who made heaven and earth,(Q) the sea and the springs of water.’
8 And another, a second angel, followed, saying, ‘It has fallen, Babylon the Great(R) has fallen.[d] She made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality,[e] which brings wrath.’(S)
9 And another, a third angel, followed them and spoke with a loud voice: ‘If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is poured full strength into the cup of his anger.(T) He will be tormented with fire and sulphur(U) in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, 11 and the smoke of their torment will go up for ever and ever.(V) There is no rest[f](W) day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or anyone who receives the mark(X) of its name. 12 This calls for endurance from the saints,(Y) who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.’[g]
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, ‘Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’(Z)
‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘so they will rest from their labours, since their works follow them.’
Reaping the Earth’s Harvest
14 Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and one like the Son of Man[h](AA) was seated on the cloud, with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one who was seated on the cloud, ‘Use your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.’(AB) 16 So the one seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Then another angel who also had a sharp sickle came out of the temple in heaven. 18 Yet another angel, who had authority over fire, came from the altar, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, ‘Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the vineyard of the earth, because its grapes have ripened.’ 19 So the angel swung his sickle at the earth and gathered the grapes from the vineyard of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AC) 20 Then the press was trampled outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press up to the horses’ bridles for about 300 kilometres.[i](AD)

New International Version
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,(A) standing on Mount Zion,(B) and with him 144,000(C) who had his name and his Father’s name(D) written on their foreheads.(E) 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.(H) 3 And they sang a new song(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures(J) and the elders.(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.(N) They were purchased from among mankind(O) and offered as firstfruits(P) to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths;(Q) they are blameless.(R)
The Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair,(S) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth(T)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.(U) 7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God(V) and give him glory,(W) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made(X) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(Y)
8 A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’[a](Z) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”(AA)
9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast(AB) and its image(AC) and receives its mark on their forehead(AD) or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,(AE) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.(AF) They will be tormented with burning sulfur(AG) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.(AH) There will be no rest day or night(AI) for those who worship the beast and its image,(AJ) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”(AK) 12 This calls for patient endurance(AL) on the part of the people of God(AM) who keep his commands(AN) and remain faithful to Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord(AO) from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit,(AP) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(AQ) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[b](AR) with a crown(AS) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(AT) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(AU) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(AV) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(AW) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(AX) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(AY) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AZ) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(BA) outside the city,(BB) and blood(BC) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[c]

Revelation 14
New King James Version
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and behold, [a]a (A)Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him (B)one hundred and forty-four thousand, [b]having His Father’s name (C)written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, (D)like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of (E)harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song (F)except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, (G)for they are virgins. These are the ones (H)who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These (I)were [c]redeemed from among men, (J)being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And (K)in their mouth was found no [d]deceit, for (L)they are without fault [e]before the throne of God.
The Proclamations of Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel (M)flying in the midst of heaven, (N)having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—(O)to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, (P)“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; (Q)and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
8 And another angel followed, saying, (R)“Babylon[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because (S)she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, (T)“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his (U)mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself (V)shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is (W)poured out full strength into (X)the cup of His indignation. (Y)He shall be tormented with (Z)fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And (AA)the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
12 (AB)Here is the [g]patience of the saints; (AC)here[h] are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying [i]to me, “Write: (AD)‘Blessed are the dead (AE)who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, (AF)“that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow (AG)them.”
Reaping the Earth’s Harvest
14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel (AH)came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, (AI)“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come [j]for You to reap, for the harvest (AJ)of the earth is ripe.” 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Reaping the Grapes of Wrath
17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, (AK)who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, (AL)“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into (AM)the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And (AN)the winepress was trampled (AO)outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, (AP)up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred [k]furlongs.
