Revelation 7

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.

印了十四万四千个以色列人

1 这事以后，我看见四位天使站在地的四极，掌握着地上的四风，不使风吹在地上、海上和任何树上。2 我又看见另外一位天使，从日出之地上来，拿着永活　神的印，向那四位得了权柄可以伤害地和海的天使，大声呼喊，3 说："你们不要伤害地、海和树木，等我们在　神众仆人的额上先盖上了印。"4 我听见被盖印的人的数目，以色列子孙各支派中被盖印的共有十四万四千人：

5 犹大支派中被盖印的，一万二千人；

流本支派中，一万二千人；

迦得支派中，一万二千人；

6 亚设支派中，一万二千人；

拿弗他利支派中，一万二千人；

玛拿西支派中，一万二千人；

7 西缅支派中，一万二千人；

利未支派中，一万二千人；

以萨迦支派中，一万二千人；

8 西布伦支派中，一万二千人；

约瑟支派中，一万二千人；

便雅悯支派中，一万二千人。

各国各族的群众前来敬拜

9 这些事以后，我观看，见有一大群人，没有人能数得过来，是从各邦国、各支派、各民族、各方言来的。他们都站在宝座和羊羔面前，身穿白袍，手里拿着棕树枝。10 他们大声呼喊，说：

"愿救恩归给那坐在宝座上我们的　神，也归给羊羔！"

11 所有的天使都站在宝座、众长老和四个活物的四周。他们在宝座前，面伏在地上敬拜　神，12 说：

"阿们！愿颂赞、荣耀、智慧、

感谢、尊贵、权能、力量，

都归给我们的　神，

直到永永远远。阿们！"

13 长老中有一位问我："这些身穿白袍的是谁？他们是从哪里来的呢？"14 我对他说："我主啊，你是知道的。"他告诉我："这些人是从大患难中出来的。他们用羊羔的血，把自己的衣袍洗洁白了。15 因此，他们可以在　神的宝座前，并且日夜在他的圣所里事奉他。那坐在宝座上的必展开帐幕覆庇他们。16 他们必不再饿，也不再渴；太阳和一切炎热必不伤害他们。17 因为在宝座中间的羊羔必牧养他们，领他们到生命水的泉源那里。　神也必抹去他们的一切眼泪。"
