1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing upon mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written upon their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice out of the heaven as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder. And the voice which I heard was as of harp-singers harping with their harps; 3 and they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn that song save the hundred and forty-four thousand who were bought from the earth. 4 These are they who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb wheresoever it goes. These have been bought from men as first-fruits to God and to the Lamb: 5 and in their mouths was no lie found; for they are blameless.

6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to announce to those settled on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, 7 saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and do homage to him who has made the heaven and the earth and the sea and fountains of waters. 8 And another, a second, angel followed, saying, Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, which of the wine of the fury of her fornication has made all nations drink. 9 And another, a third, angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one do homage to the beast and its image, and receive a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God prepared unmixed in the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages, and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the beast and to its image, and if any one receive the mark of its name. 12 Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Write, Blessed the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow with them. 14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like the Son of man, having upon 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, Send thy sickle and reap; for the hour of reaping is come, for the harvest of the earth is dried. 16 And he that sat on the cloud put his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in the heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out of the altar, having power over fire, and called with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and gather the bunches of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripened. 19 And the angel put his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast the bunches into the great wine-press of the fury of God; 20 and the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood went out of the wine-press to the bits of the horses for a thousand six hundred stadia.

1 Ma vaatasin: ennäe, Tall seisis Siioni mäel ja koos temaga need sada nelikümmend neli tuhat, kelle otsaesisele oli kirjutatud Talle nimi ja tema Isa nimi. 2 Ja ma kuulsin häält taevast, mis oli otsekui suurte vete kohin ja võimsa kõue hääl; see kõlas, nagu oleksid kandlemängijad oma pille mänginud. 3 Nad laulsid uut laulu trooni ees ning nelja olevuse ja vanemate ees. Seda laulu ei suutnud õppida keegi muu peale saja neljakümne nelja tuhande, kes olid lunastatud maa pealt. 4 Need on need, kes ei ole endid rüvetanud naistega, nad on puhtad nagu neitsid. Nad järgnevad Tallele kõikjal, kuhu ta läheb. Nemad on inimeste seast lunastatud pühitsetud anniks Jumalale ja Tallele. 5 Nende suust ei ole iial kuuldud valet – nad on laitmatud.

6 Ma nägin veel üht inglit kesktaevas lendamas. Tal oli igavene evangeelium, mida kuulutada maa elanikele, igale hõimule, suguharule, keelele ja rahvale. 7 Ta hüüdis valju häälega: „Kartke Jumalat ning ülistage teda, sest tema kohtumõistmise tund on käes! Kummardage teda, kes on teinud taeva ja maa, mere ja vete allikad!"

8 Talle järgnes teine ingel, kes ütles: „Langenud! Langenud on suur Paabel, kes joovastas kõiki rahvaid oma abielurikkumise hullustava veiniga!"

9 Nende järel tuli kolmas ingel, kes hüüdis valju häälega: „Kui keegi kummardab metsalist ja tema kuju ning võtab vastu tema märgi oma otsaette või oma käe peale, 10 siis ta saab samuti juua Jumala raevu veini, mis on lahjendamatult valatud ta vihakarikasse. Teda vaevatakse väävli ja tulega pühade inglite ja Talle ees. 11 Nende piinade suits tõuseb üles igavesest ajast igavesti ega ole mingit leevendust päeval ega ööl neil, kes kummardavad metsalist ja tema kuju, ega neil, kes võtavad vastu ta nime märgi."

12 Siin olgu kannatlikkust Jumala pühadel, kes peavad tema käske ja jäävad Jeesusele ustavaks!

13 Ja ma kuulsin häält, mis ütles taevast: „Pane kirja: „Õndsad on surnud, kes nüüdsest peale surevad Issandas!" "

„Jah," ütleb Vaim, „nad puhaku oma töövaevast, sest nende teod järgnevad neile."

14 Ma vaatasin: ennäe, valge pilv, ning sellel istus keegi Inimese Poja sarnane. Tal oli kuldpärg peas ja terav sirp käes. 15 Ja üks teine ingel väljus templist ja hüüdis pilve peal istujale valju häälega: „Siruta oma sirp ja lõika, sest lõikusaeg on käes ja maa viljasaak on valmis!" 16 Ja see, kes istus pilve peal, lõi sirbiga üle maa ning see lõigati paljaks.

17 Veel üks ingel väljus taevasest templist ja temalgi oli käes terav sirp. 18 Ja veel üks ingel väljus altarist, kellel oli võim tule üle. Ta hüüdis valju häälega sellele, kellel oli terav sirp: „Siruta oma terav sirp ja kogu kokku marjakobarad maailma viinapuust, sest selle viinamarjad on küpsed!" 19 Ja ingel lõi sirbiga üle maa, lõikas viinapuult marjakobarad ning heitis need Jumala viha suurde surutõrde. 20 Surutõrt vajutati väljaspool linna ning verd voolas kuni hobuste valjasteni tuhande kuuesaja staadioni*14:20 Umbes 300 kilomeetrit. Kuid ilmselt on tegu sümboolse arvuga, mis näitab, et kohtumõistmine hõlmas kogu maailma. ulatuses ümberkaudu.
