Revelation

以色列人十四万四千被印

1此后，我看见四位天使站在地的四角，执掌地上四方的风，叫风不吹在地上、海上，和树上。

2我又看见另有一位天使，从日出之地上来，拿着永生 神的印。他就向那得着权柄能伤害地和海的四位天使大声喊着说：

3「地与海并树木，你们不可伤害，等我们印了我们 神众仆人的额。」

4我听见以色列人各支派中受印的数目有十四万四千。

5犹大支派中受印的有一万二千；吕便支派中有一万二千；迦得支派中有一万二千；

6亚设支派中有一万二千；拿弗他利支派中有一万二千；玛拿西支派中有一万二千；

7西缅支派中有一万二千；利未支派中有一万二千；以萨迦支派中有一万二千；

8西布伦支派中有一万二千；约瑟支派中有一万二千；便雅悯支派中受印的有一万二千。

无数的人从各国各族而来

9此后，我观看，见有许多的人，没有人能数过来，是从各国、各族、各民、各方来的，站在宝座和羔羊面前，身穿白衣，手拿棕树枝，

10大声喊着说：「愿救恩归与坐在宝座上我们的 神，也归与羔羊！」

11众天使都站在宝座和众长老并四活物的周围，在宝座前，面伏于地，敬拜 神，

12说：阿们！颂赞、荣耀、智慧、 感谢、尊贵、权柄、大力 都归与我们的 神， 直到永永远远。阿们！

13长老中有一位问我说：「这些穿白衣的是谁？是从哪里来的？」

14我对他说：「我主，你知道。」他向我说：「这些人是从大患难中出来的，曾用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白净了。

15所以，他们在 神宝座前，昼夜在他殿中事奉他。坐宝座的要用帐幕覆庇他们。

16他们不再饥，不再渴；日头和炎热也必不伤害他们。

17因为宝座中的羔羊必牧养他们，领他们到生命水的泉源； 神也必擦去他们一切的眼泪。」

1And after these things I saw four messengers, standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree;

2and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,

3'Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads.'

4And I heard the number of those sealed, (one hundred and forty four thousands were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel):

5of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;

6of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;

7of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;

8of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.

9After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands,

10and crying with a great voice, saying, 'The salvation [is] to Him who is sitting upon the throne — to our God, and to the Lamb!'

11And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before God,

12saying, 'Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, [are] to our God — to the ages of the ages! Amen!'

13And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, 'These, who have been arrayed with the white robes — who are they, and whence came they?'

14and I have said to him, 'Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, 'These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;

15because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them;

16they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any heat,

17because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'
