1 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. 2 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, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 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. 5 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. 6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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.
1 Pēc tam es redzēju četrus eņģeļus stāvam četros zemes stūros, turot četrus zemes vējus, lai vējš nepūstu ne pār zemi, ne jūru, ne pār kādu koku. 2 Un es redzēju citu eņģeli uzkāpjam no saules lēkta puses. Viņš turēja dzīvā Dieva zīmogu; viņš sauca skaņā balsī četriem eņģeļiem, kam bija dots maitāt zemi un jūru: 3 "Nesamaitājiet zemi, ne jūru, ne kokus, kamēr mēs apzīmogosim mūsu Dieva kalpus uz viņu pierēm." 4 Tad es dzirdēju apzīmogoto skaitu: simts četrdesmit četri tūkstoši bija apzīmogoti no visām Israēla bērnu ciltīm. 5 No Jūdas cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši apzīmogoti, no Rūbena cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, no Gada cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, 6 no Ašera cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, no Naftaļa cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, no Manases cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, 7 no Simeona cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, no Levija cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, no Isašara cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, 8 no Zebulona cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, no Jāzepa cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši, no Benjamīna cilts divpadsmit tūkstoši apzīmogoti. 9 Pēc tam es redzēju, un raugi: liels pulks, ko saskaitīt neviens nevarēja, no visām tautām, no ciltīm, tautībām un valodām stāvēja goda krēsla priekšā un Jēra priekšā, apģērbti baltās drēbēs un ar palmu zariem rokās un 10 sauca skaņā balsī: "Pestīšana pieder mūsu Dievam, kas sēd goda krēslā, un Jēram." 11 Visi eņģeļi stāvēja ap goda krēslu, ap vecajiem un dzīvajām būtnēm un metās uz sava vaiga goda krēsla priekšā un lūdza Dievu, sacīdami: 12 "Āmen, teikšana un slava, gudrība un pateicība, gods, vara un spēks mūsu Dievam mūžu mūžos! Āmen!" 13 Tad viens no vecajiem sacīja man: "Tie, kas ģērbti baltās drēbēs, kas viņi un no kurienes viņi nākuši?" 14 Es viņam atbildēju: "Mans Kungs, tu to zini!" Un viņš man sacīja: "Šie ir tie, kas nākuši no lielām bēdām un savas drēbes mazgājuši un tās balinājuši Jēra asinīs. 15 Tāpēc tie ir Dieva goda krēsla priekšā un kalpo Viņam dienām un naktīm Viņa templī, un Tas, kas sēd goda krēslā, mājos pie viņiem. 16 Tiem vairs nebūs bada, tiem vairs neslāps, ne saule, ne cits kāds karstums tos nespiedīs, 17 jo Jērs, kas pašā vidū, goda krēsla priekšā, tos ganīs un tos vedīs pie dzīvības ūdens avotiem, un Dievs nožāvēs visas asaras no viņu acīm."
