Apocalipsis 7
Ang Biblia (1978)
7 At pagkatapos nito ay nakita ko ang apat na anghel na nakatayo sa apat na sulok ng lupa, (A)na pinipigil ang apat na hangin ng lupa, upang huwag humihip ang hangin sa lupa, o sa dagat man, o sa anomang punong kahoy.
2 At nakita ko ang ibang anghel na umaakyat mula sa sikatan ng araw, na taglay ang tatak (B)ng Dios na buhay: at siya'y sumigaw ng tinig na malakas sa apat na anghel na pinagkaloobang maipahamak ang lupa at ang dagat,
3 Na nagsasabi, (C)Huwag ninyong ipahamak ang lupa, kahit ang dagat, kahit ang mga punong kahoy, hanggang sa aming matatakan sa kanilang mga noo ang mga alipin ng ating Dios.
4 At narinig ko ang bilang (D)ng mga natatakan, na (E)isang daan at apat na pu't apat na libo, na natatakan, sa bawa't angkan ng mga anak ni Israel:
5 Sa angkan ni Juda ay labingdalawang libo ang tinatakan;
Sa angkan ni Ruben ay labingdalawang libo;
Sa angkan ni Gad ay labingdalawang libo;
6 Sa angkan ni Aser ay labingdalawang libo;
Sa angkan ni Neftali ay labingdalawang libo;
Sa angkan ni Manases ay labingdalawang libo;
7 Sa angkan ni Simeon ay labingdalawang libo;
Sa angkan ni Levi ay labingdalawang libo;
Sa angkan ni Isacar ay labingdalawang libo;
8 Sa angkan ni Zabulon ay labingdalawang libo;
Sa angkan ni Jose ay labingdalawang libo;
Sa angkan ni Benjamin ay labingdalawang libo ang tinatakan.
9 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay tumingin ako, at narito, ang isang lubhang karamihan na di mabilang ng sinoman, (F)na mula sa bawa't bansa at lahat ng mga angkan at mga bayan at mga wika, na nakatayo sa harapan ng luklukan at sa harapan ng Cordero, na (G)nangadaramtan ng mapuputing damit, at may mga (H)palma sa kanilang mga kamay;
10 At nagsisigawan ng tinig na malakas, na nangagsasabi,
11 At ang lahat ng mga anghel ay nangakatayo sa palibot ng luklukan, at ng matatanda at ng apat na nilalang na buhay; at sila'y nangagpatirapa sa harapan ng luklukan, at nangagsisamba sa Dios,
12 Na nangagsasabi,
(K)Siya nawa: Pagpapala at kaluwalhatian, at karunungan, at pagpapasalamat, at karangalan, at kapangyarihan, at kalakasan, nawa ang sumaaming Dios magpakailan kailan man. Siya nawa.
13 At sumagot ang isa sa matatanda na, nagsasabi sa akin, Ang mga ito na nangadaramtan ng mapuputing damit, ay sino-sino at saan nagsipanggaling?
14 At sinabi ko sa kaniya, Panginoon ko, Ikaw ang nakakaalam. At sinabi niya sa akin, Ang mga ito'y ang nanggaling sa malaking kapighatian, at (L)nangaghugas ng kanilang mga damit, at pinaputi sa dugo ng Cordero.
15 Kaya't sila'y nasa harapan ng luklukan ng Dios; at nangaglilingkod sa kaniya araw at gabi sa kaniyang templo: at siyang nakaupo sa luklukan, ay (M)lulukuban sila ng kaniyang tabernakulo.
16 Sila'y hindi na magugutom pa, (N)ni mauuhaw pa man; ni hindi na sila tatamaan ng araw, o ng anomang init:
17 Sapagka't ang Cordero na nasa gitna ng luklukan (O)ay siyang magiging pastor nila, at sila'y papatnugutan sa mga bukal ng tubig ng buhay: at (P)papahirin ng Dios ang bawa't luha ng kanilang mga mata.
Revelation 7
New King James Version
The Sealed of Israel
7 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, (A)holding the four winds of the earth, (B)that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then 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 granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, (C)“Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God (D)on their foreheads.” 4 (E)And I heard the number of those who were sealed. (F)One hundred and forty-four thousand (G)of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were [a]sealed;
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
9 After these things I looked, and behold, (H)a great multitude which no one could number, (I)of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (J)clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, (K)“Salvation belongs to our God (L)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 (M)All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and (N)worshiped God, 12 (O)saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in (P)white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 And I said to him, [b]“Sir, you know.”
So he said to me, (Q)“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and (R)washed their 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 who sits on the throne will (S)dwell among them. 16 (T)They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; (U)the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne (V)will shepherd them and lead them to [c]living fountains of waters. (W)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
