1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. 2 I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps. 3 They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. 4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.*14:5 TR adds "before the throne of God"

6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. 7 He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"

8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."

9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

12 Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."

13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’"

"Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them."

14 I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man,✝14:14 Daniel 7:13 having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!" 16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle. 18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!" 19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God. 20 The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.*14:20 1600 stadia = 296 kilometers or 184 miles

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.
