1 Depois disso, vi quatro Anjos que se conservavam em pé nos quatro cantos da terra, detendo os quatro ventos da terra, para que nenhum vento soprasse sobre a terra, sobre o mar ou sobre árvore alguma.2 Vi ainda outro anjo subir do oriente; trazia o selo de Deus vivo, e pôs-se a clamar com voz retumbante aos quatro Anjos, aos quais fora dado danificar a terra e o mar, dizendo:3 Não danifiqueis a terra, nem o mar, nem as árvores, até que tenhamos assinalado os servos de nosso Deus em suas frontes.4 Ouvi então o número dos assinalados: cento e quarenta e quatro mil assinalados, de toda tribo dos filhos de Israel;5 da tribo de Judá, doze mil assinalados; da tribo de Rubem, doze mil; da tribo de Gad, doze mil;6 da tribo de Aser, doze mil; da tribo de Neftali, doze mil; da tribo de Manassés, doze mil;7 da tribo de Simeão, doze mil; da tribo de Levi, doze mil; da tribo de Issacar, doze mil;8 da tribo de Zabulon, doze mil; da tribo de José, doze mil; da tribo de Benjamim, doze mil assinalados.9 Depois disso, vi uma grande multidão que ninguém podia contar, de toda nação, tribo, povo e língua: conservavam-se em pé diante do trono e diante do Cordeiro, de vestes brancas e palmas na mão,10 e bradavam em alta voz: A salvação é obra de nosso Deus, que está assentado no trono, e do Cordeiro.11 E todos os Anjos estavam ao redor do trono, dos Anciãos e dos quatro Animais; prostravam-se de face em terra diante do trono e adoravam a Deus, dizendo:12 Amém, louvor, glória, sabedoria, ação de graças, honra, poder e força ao nosso Deus pelos séculos dos séculos! Amém.13 Então um dos Anciãos falou comigo e perguntou-me: Esses, que estão revestidos de vestes brancas, quem são e de onde vêm?14 Respondi-lhe: Meu Senhor, tu o sabes. E ele me disse: Esses são os sobreviventes da grande tribulação; lavaram as suas vestes e as alvejaram no sangue do Cordeiro.15 Por isso, estão diante do trono de Deus e o servem, dia e noite, no seu templo. Aquele que está sentado no trono os abrigará em sua tenda.16 Já não terão fome, nem sede, nem o sol ou calor algum os abrasará,17 porque o Cordeiro, que está no meio do trono, será o seu pastor e os levará às fontes das águas vivas; e Deus enxugará toda lágrima de seus olhos.

1 And after these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth that no wind should blow upon the earth nor upon the sea nor upon any tree.2 And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God: and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the land and the sea,3 saying, Hurt not the land neither the sea nor the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.4 And I heard the number of those that were sealed: [and there were] sealed a hundred [and] forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the sons 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 Naphtali [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 Zepulun [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 saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and kindreds and peoples and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lamb clothed with long white robes and palms in their hands10 and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation unto him who is seated upon the throne of our God and unto the Lamb.11 And all the angels stood round about the throne and [about] the elders and the four animals; and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshipped God,12 saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.13 And one of the elders responded and asked me, Who are these who are arrayed in long white robes? and where did they come from?14 And I said unto him, lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are those who came out of great tribulation and have washed their long robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.15 Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that is seated on the throne shall dwell among them.16 They shall hunger no more neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun be thrust upon them nor any other heat.17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall govern them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.:
