Pahayag 7
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang 144,000 na Tinatakan Mula sa mga Lahi ng Israel
7 Pagkatapos nito, nakita ko ang apat na anghel na nakatayo sa apat na sulok ng mundo. Pinipigil nila ang apat na hangin upang walang hanging umihip sa lupa, sa dagat o sa alin mang punongkahoy. 2 At nakita ko ang isa pang anghel na galing sa silangan na taglay ang pantatak ng buhay na Dios. Sumigaw siya sa apat na anghel na binigyan ng Dios ng kapangyarihang maminsala sa lupa at dagat. 3 Sinabi niya, “Huwag muna ninyong pinsalain ang lupa, ang dagat o ang mga punongkahoy hanggaʼt hindi pa natin natatatakan sa noo ang mga lingkod ng ating Dios.” 4 Ayon sa narinig ko, 144,000 ang lahat ng tinatakan mula sa 12 lahi ng Israel.
5 12,000 mula sa lahi ni Juda;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Reuben;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Gad;
6 12,000 mula sa lahi ni Asher;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Naftali;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Manase;
7 12,000 mula sa lahi ni Simeon;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Levi;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Isacar;
8 12,000 mula sa lahi ni Zebulun;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Jose;
12,000 mula sa lahi ni Benjamin.
Ang mga Tao sa Harap ng Trono ng Dios
9 Pagkatapos nito, nakita ko ang napakaraming tao na hindi mabilang sa dami. Nagmula sila sa lahat ng bansa, angkan, lahi at wika. Nakatayo sila sa harap ng trono at ng Tupa. Silang lahat ay nakadamit ng puti at may mga hawak na palaspas. 10 Sumisigaw sila nang malakas, “Purihin ang Dios na nakaupo sa trono, at purihin din ang Tupa dahil iniligtas nila kami sa kaparusahan!” 11 Tumayo ang mga anghel sa palibot ng trono, ng mga namumuno, at ng apat na buhay na nilalang. At lumuhod sila sa harap ng trono at sumamba sa Dios. 12 Sinabi nila, “Amen! Ang Dios natin ay dapat purihin, sambahin, pasalamatan at parangalan. Nalalaman niya ang lahat, at nasa kanya ang lahat ng kapangyarihan at kalakasan. Purihin siya magpakailanman! Amen!”
13 Tinanong ako ng isa sa 24 na namumuno, “Sino ang mga taong iyon na nakadamit ng puti, at saan sila nanggaling?” 14 Sumagot ako, “Hindi ko po alam. Kayo po ang nakakaalam.” At sinabi niya sa akin, “Sila ang mga dumaan sa matinding paghihirap. Nilinis at pinaputi nila ang kanilang mga damit sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng Tupa. 15 Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit nasa harap sila ng trono ng Dios. Naglilingkod sila sa kanya araw at gabi sa kanyang templo. At ang Dios mismo na nakaupo sa kanyang trono ang siyang kumakalinga sa kanila. 16 Hindi na sila magugutom o mauuhaw pang muli. At hindi na rin mabibilad sa init o mapapaso sa sinag ng araw. 17 Sapagkat ang Tupang nasa trono ang magiging pastol nila, at dadalhin sila sa mga bukal na nagbibigay-buhay, at papahirin na ng Dios ang lahat ng luha sa 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.”

7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back (A)the four winds of the earth, (B)that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending (C)from the rising of the sun, with (D)the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3 saying, (E)“Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God (F)on their foreheads.” 4 And (G)I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

A Great Multitude from Every Nation
9 After this I looked, and behold, (H)a great multitude that no one could number, (I)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (J)clothed in white robes, with (K)palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, (L)“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and (M)the four living creatures, and they (N)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 (O)saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, (P)clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of (Q)the great tribulation. (R)They have washed their robes and (S)made them white (T)in the blood of the Lamb.
15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and (U)serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne (V)will shelter them with his presence.
16 (W)They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
(X)the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne (Y)will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of (Z)living water,
and (AA)God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
