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 Pärast seda ma nägin nelja Inglit seisvat maa neljal nurgal ning kinni pidavat nelja maatuult, et ükski tuul ei puhuks maa peale ega mere peale ega ühegi puu peale.

2 Ja ma nägin teist Inglit tõusvat päevatõusu poolt, ning ta käes oli elava Jumala pitsat, ja tema hüüdis suure häälega nendele neljale Inglile, kellele oli antud teha kahju maale ja merele,

3 ning ütles: „Ärge tehke kahju maale ega merele ega puudele, enne kui me oleme pannud pitseri oma Jumala sulaste otsaesisele!"

4 Ja ma kuulsin nende arvu, kes olid pitseriga märgitud, sada nelikümmend neli tuhat pitseriga märgitut kõigist Iisraeli laste suguharudest:

5 Juuda suguharust kaksteist tuhat pitseriga märgitut; Ruubeni suguharust kaksteist tuhat; Gaadi suguharust kaksteist tuhat;

6 Aaseri suguharust kaksteist tuhat; Naftali suguharust kaksteist tuhat; Manasse suguharust kaksteist tuhat;

7 Siimeoni suguharust kaksteist tuhat; Leevi suguharust kaksteist tuhat; Issaskari suguharust kaksteist tuhat;

8 Sebuloni suguharust kaksteist tuhat; Joosepi suguharust kaksteist tuhat; Benjamini suguharust kaksteist tuhat pitseriga märgitut.

9 Pärast seda ma nägin, ja vaata, suur hulk rahvast, keda ükski ei võinud ära lugeda kõigist rahvahõimudest ja suguharudest ja rahvaist ja keeltest; need seisid aujärje ees ja Talle ees, riietatud valgeisse rüüdesse ja palmioksad käes.

10 Ja nad hüüdsid suure häälega ja ütlesid: „Õnnistus meie Jumalale, Kes aujärjel istub, ja Tallele!"

11 Ja kõik Inglid seisid aujärje ja vanemate ja nelja olendi ümber ja heitsid aujärje ette silmili maha ja kummardasid Jumalat

12 ning ütlesid: „Aamen, kiitus ja austus ja tarkus ja tänu ja au ja vägi ja ramm meie Jumalale ajastute ajastuteni! Aamen."

13 Ja üks vanemaist hakkas kõnelema ning ütles minule: „Need seal valgeis rüüdes, kes nad on ja kust nad tulid?"

14 Ja ma ütlesin temale: „Mu isand, sina tead!" Ja ta ütles mulle: „Need on, kes tulevad suurest viletsusest ja on oma rüüd pesnud ja oma rüüd valgeks teinud Talle Veres!

15 Sellepärast on nad Jumala aujärje ees ja teenivad Teda ööd ja päevad Tema templis. Ja See, Kes aujärjel istub, laotab Oma telgi nende üle.

16 Neil ei ole siis enam nälga ega janu; ka ei lange nende peale päikest ega mingisugust palavat;

17 sest Tall, Kes on keset aujärge, hoiab neid ja juhatab nad elava vee allikaile; ja Jumal pühib ära kõik pisarad nende silmist!"
