Заштитени 144.000 души од Божјиот народ

Потоа видов четири ангели кои стоеја на четирите страни на Земјата. Тие ги задржуваа ветровите од четирите страни на Земјата да не дуваат ни на земјата, ни на морето ниту пак на дрвјата. Потоа забележав еден друг ангел како доаѓа од исток. Тој го носеше печатот на Живиот Бог. Со многу силен глас тој им се обрати на четирите ангели на кои Бог им беше дал власт да ги пустошат земјата и морињата: „Не пустошете ни по земјата, ни по морињата, ниту пак по дрвјата, додека не ги обележам со печат в чело Божјите слуги!“

Тогаш го слушнав и бројот на обележаните со Божјиот печат: тие беа вкупно сто и четириесет и четири илјади души, од сите племиња на Израел, и тоа:

12.000 од племето на Јуда,

12.000 од племето на Реувен,

12.000 од племето на Гад,

12.000 од племето на Ашер,

12.000 од племето на Нафтали,

12.000 од племето на Менаше,

12.000 од племето на Шимон,

12.000 од племето на Левиј,

12.000 од племето на Исахар,

12.000 од племето на Зевулун,

12.000 од племето на Јосиф и

12.000 од племето на Бинјамин.

Спасени луѓе од сите народи

Потоа погледнав и наеднаш пред мене се појави множество народ, кое никој не можеше да го изброи. Имаше луѓе од секоја раса, од секое племе, народ и јазик. Тие стоеја пред престолот и пред Јагнето, облечени во бели облеки и со палмови гранчиња во рацете, 10 и на цел глас пееја:

„Спасението е дело на нашиот Бог, Кој седи на престолот, и на Јагнето!“

11 Сите ангели, кои стоеја околу престолот, околу старешините и околу четирите суштества паднаа ничкум и Му се поклонија на Бог, 12 велејќи:

„Амин! На нашиот Бог Му припаѓа благослов, слава, мудрост, благодарност, чест, власт и моќ! Амин!“

13 Еден од старешините ме праша: „Знаеш ли кои се и од каде доаѓаат овие што се облечени во бели облеки?“ 14 Јас му одговорив: „Господине, Ти го знаеш тоа!“ Тогаш тој ми рече: „Тоа се оние што минаа низ големи страдања. Тие ги избелија своите облеки перејќи ги во крвта на Јагнето. 15 Затоа сега стојат пред Божјиот престол и деноноќно Му служат во Неговиот храм. А Тој што седи на престолот ќе ги заштитува со Своето присуство. 16 Тој никогаш нема да дозволи тие да гладуваат или да ожеднат, ниту пак да ги пече Сонцето или некоја друга горештина. 17 Јагнето, Кое е на средината на престолот, ќе им биде Пастир и ќе ги пои со животодавна вода. И Бог ќе ја избрише секоја солза од нивните очи.“

144,000 Sealed

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. 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) “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.” Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.

From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,

from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,

from the tribe of Gad 12,000,

from the tribe of Asher 12,000,

from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,

from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,

from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,

from the tribe of Levi 12,000,

from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,

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

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:

“Salvation belongs to our God,(N)
who sits on the throne,(O)
and to the Lamb.”

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)

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.
