1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 17 And 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, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Jērs un simt četrdesmit četri tūkstoši
1 Un tad es ieraudzīju, un redzi – Jērs stāv uz Ciānas kalna un ar viņu simt četrdesmit četri tūkstoši, kam viņa vārds un viņa Tēva vārds rakstīts uz pieres. 2 Es dzirdēju no debesīm tādu kā bangainu ūdeņu balsi un kā liela pērkona grāvienu, un es dzirdēju skaņu, itin kā cītaristi spēlētu uz savām cītarām. 3 Un viņi dziedāja kādu jaunu dziesmu troņa priekšā un četru dzīvo būtņu un vecajo priekšā, un neviens nevarēja saprast šo dziesmu kā tikai šie simt četrdesmit četri tūkstoši, kas bija atpirkti no zemes. 4 Tie, kas nav aptraipījušies ar sievietēm, kas ir šķīsti. Viņi seko Jēram, kurp vien tas iet. Viņi tika atpirkti no cilvēku vidus būt par pirmo augli Dievam un Jēram. 5 Viņu mutē nav atrasti meli, viņi ir bez vainas.
Trīs eņģeļu vēstis
6 Un es ieraudzīju citu eņģeli lidojam augstu debesīs. Viņam bija dots sludināt mūžīgo evaņģēliju zemes iedzīvotājiem – ikvienai tautai, ciltij, valodai un ļaudīm. Viņš runāja varenā balsī: 7 bīstieties Dieva un slavējiet viņu, jo viņa tiesas stunda ir klāt, pielūdziet to, kas radījis debesis un zemi, jūru un ūdens avotus! 8 Un tam sekoja vēl otrs eņģelis, saukdams: ir kritusi, ir kritusi varenā Bābele, kas ar savas netiklības kaismes vīnu ir apdzirdījusi visas tautas. 9 Un vēl cits – trešais eņģelis viņiem sekoja, skaļā balsī saukdams: ja kāds pielūgs zvēru un viņa tēlu un pieņems zīmi uz savas pieres vai uz savas rokas, 10 tas dzers Dieva dusmu kvēles vīnu, kas neatšķaidīts ir ieliets viņa dusmu traukā; tas tiks mocīts ugunī un sērā svēto eņģeļu un Jēra priekšā. 11 Un mūžu mūžos kāpj augšup šo cilvēku mocību dūmi. Ne dienu, ne nakti nav miera tiem, kas pielūdz zvēru un viņa tēlu, un tiem, kas pieņem zīmi ar viņa vārdu. 12 Šeit vajag izturību svētajiem, kuri turas pie Dieva baušļiem un Jēzus ticības. 13 Tad es dzirdēju balsi no debesīm man sakām: “Raksti: laimīgi ir tie, kas no šā brīža mirst Kungā. Un Gars saka: patiesi, lai viņi atpūšas no savām pūlēm, jo viņu veiktie darbi tos pavada.”
Pļaujamais nobriedis pļaujai
14 Un tad es ieraudzīju, un redzi – balts mākonis, un uz mākoņa sēž kāds Cilvēka Dēlam līdzīgs, viņam galvā ir zelta vainags un rokā ass sirpis. 15 Tad vēl kāds cits eņģelis iznāca no tempļa un sauca varenā balsī tam, kas sēdēja uz mākoņa: laid savu sirpi un sāc pļaut, jo pļaujas stunda ir klāt un pļaujamais uz zemes ir nogatavojies. 16 Un tas, kas sēdēja uz mākoņa, laida savu sirpi uz zemi un sāka pļaut, un zeme tika nopļauta. 17 Tad kāds cits eņģelis iznāca no tempļa debesīs, tam arī rokā bija ass sirpis. 18 Un vēl kāds cits eņģelis, kam bija vara pār uguni, iznāca no altāra, un viņš sauca varenā balsī uz to, kam rokā bija asais sirpis: “Laid savu aso sirpi un ievāc vīnogu ķekarus no zemes vīnakoka, jo vīnogas jau ir nobriedušas.” 19 Un eņģelis laida savu sirpi uz zemes un ievāca vīnogas no zemes vīnakoka, un sameta tās Dieva lielās dusmu kvēles vīnspaidā. 20 Tās tika mīdītas vīnspaidā ārpus pilsētas, un no vīnspaida izplūda asinis līdz pat zirgu iemauktiem tūkstoš seši simti stadiju attālumā visapkārt.
