Revelation 14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and there on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with Him were 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads.(A) 2 I heard a sound[a] from heaven like the sound of cascading waters(B) and like the rumbling of loud thunder. The sound I heard was also like harpists playing on their harps.(C) 3 They sang[b] a new song(D) before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders,(E) but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed[c] from the earth. 4 These are the ones not defiled with women, for they have kept their virginity.(F) These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They were redeemed[d][e] from the human race as the firstfruits(G) for God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.(H)
The Proclamation of Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying high overhead,(I) having the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.(J) 7 He spoke with a loud voice: “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
8 A second angel[f] followed, saying: “It has fallen, Babylon the Great has fallen,[g] who made all nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality,[h] which brings wrath.”(K)
9 And a third angel[i] followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is mixed full strength in the cup of His anger.(L) He will be tormented with fire and sulfur(M) in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, 11 and the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever.(N) There is no rest[j] day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or anyone who receives the mark of his name. 12 This demands the perseverance[k] of the saints,(O) who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.”[l]
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write: The dead who die in the Lord from now on are blessed.”(P)
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “let them rest from their labors, for their works follow them!”
Reaping the Earth’s Harvest
14 Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and One like the Son of Man[m](Q) was seated on the cloud, with a gold crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. 15 Another angel came out of the sanctuary, crying out in a loud voice to the One who was seated on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.”(R) 16 So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Then another angel who also had a sharp sickle came out of the sanctuary in heaven. 18 Yet another angel, who had authority over fire, came from the altar, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from earth’s vineyard, because its grapes have ripened.” 19 So the angel swung his sickle toward earth and gathered the grapes from earth’s vineyard, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(S) 20 Then the press was trampled outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press up to the horses’ bridles for about 180 miles.[n](T)

Pahayag 14
Ang Salita ng Diyos
Ang Kordero at ang Isangdaan at Apatnapu’t Apat na Libong Tao
14 At nakita ko, narito, ang Korderong nakatayo sa bundok ng Zion. Siya ay may kasamang isangdaan at apatnapu’t apat na libong mga tao na nakatayo. May nakasulat na pangalan ng kaniyang ama sa kanilang mga noo.
2 Ako ay nakarinig ng isang tunog na mula sa langit na katulad ng tunog ng maraming tubig. Ito ay katulad ng isang napakalakas na kulog. Narinig ko ang tunog ng maraming manunugtog ng kudyapi na tumutugtog ng kanilang kudyapi. 3 Sila ay umawit ng isang bagong awit sa harapan ng trono at sa harapan ng apat na buhay na nilalang at ng mga matanda. Walang sinumang matututo ng awit na iyon. Ang matututo lamang nito ay ang isangdaan at apatnapu’t apat na libong mga tao na tinubos ni Jesus sa lupa. 4 Hindi dinungisan ng mga ito ang kanilang mga sarili sa mga babae. Sila ay mga birhen. Sila yaong mga sumusunod sa Kordero saan man siya pumaroon. Sila yaong mga tinubos ng Kordero bilang mga unang bunga para sa Diyos at para sa Kordero. 5 Walang pandaraya sa kanilang mga bibig sapagkat wala silang anumang dungis sa harapan ng trono ng Diyos.
Ang Tatlong Anghel
6 At nakita ko ang isa pang anghel na lumilipad sa kalagitnaan ng langit. Taglay nito ang walang hanggang ebanghelyo na ipapahayag sa mga nananahan sa lupa. Kabilang dito ang bawat bansa at lipi at wika at mamamayan.
7 Sinabi niya sa isang malakas na tinig: Matakot kayo sa Diyos sapagkat dumating na ang oras ng kaniyang paghuhukom. Magbigay kayo ng papuri sa kaniya. Sambahin ninyo siya na gumawa ng langit at lupa at dagat at bukal ng mga tubig.
8 May isa pang anghel ang sumunod sa kaniya na nagsabi: Bumagsak na ang Babilonya! Bumagsak na ang dakilang lungsod ng Babilonya! Siya ay bumagsak dahil sa alak ng poot ng kaniyang pakikiapid na ipinainom niya sa lahat ng mga bansa.
9 Sumunod sa kanila ang pangatlong anghel. Sinabi niya sa isang malakas na tinig: Ito ang mangyayari sa sinumang sasamba sa mabangis na hayop at sa kaniyang larawan. Ito ay mangyayari sa sinumang tumanggap ng tatak sa kaniyang noo o sa kaniyang kamay. 10 Siya ay iinom ng alak ng poot ng Diyos, na ibinuhos niya na walang halo sa saro ng kaniyang poot. Pahihirapan siya sa apoy at nagniningas na asupre sa harapan ng mga banal na anghel at sa harapan ng Kordero. 11 Ang usok ng kanilang paghihirap ay pumailanlang magpakailan pa man. Ang mga sumamba sa mabangis na hayop at kaniyang larawan ay walang kapahingahan araw at gabi. Gayundin ang mga tumanggap ng tatak ng pangalan nito ay walang kapahingahan. 12 Narito ang pagtitiis ng mga banal na tumutupad sa mga utos ng Diyos at nananampalataya kay Jesus.
13 At ako ay nakarinig ng isang tinig mula sa langit. Sinabi nito sa akin: Isulat mo ito. Pinagpala ang mga mamamatay sa Panginoon mula ngayon.
Sinabi ng Espiritu: Oo, sila ay dapat na mamahinga mula sa kanilang mga pagpapagal. Susundan sila ng kanilang mga gawa.
Ang Ani sa Lupa
14 At nakita ko at narito, ang isang puting ulap at sa ibabaw ng ulap ay may isang nakaupo na katulad ng Anak ng Tao. Siya ay may gintong putong sa kaniyang ulo. Sa kaniyang kamay ay may hawak na isang matalas na karit.
15 At may isa pang anghel na lumabas mula sa banal na dako. Siya ay sumigaw sa isang malakas na tinig sa nakaupo sa ulap na nagsasabi: Gamitin mo ang iyong karit at ipanggapas mo na. Ang dahilan ay dumating na ang oras upang ikaw ay gumapas. Ang aanihin sa lupa ay handa na. 16 At inilagay ng nakaupo sa ibabaw ng ulap ang kaniyang karit sa lupa at ginapas ang anihin sa lupa.
17 At isa pang anghel ang lumabas mula sa banal na dako na nasa langit. Siya rin ay may taglay na isang matalas na karit. 18 At may isa pang anghel ang lumabas mula sa dambana. Siya ay may kapamahalaan sa apoy. Tinawag niya sa isang malakas na tinig ang may taglay ng matalas na karit. Sinabi niya: Gamitin mo na ang matalas mong karit. Tipunin mo ang mga buwig ng ubas sa lupa sapagkat hinog na ang mga ubas sa lupa. 19 Inilabas ng anghel ang karit at tinipon ang ubas sa lupa. Inihagis niya ang mga ubas ng lupa sa pisaang-ubas ng poot ng dakilang Diyos. 20 Niyurakan nila ang mga ubas sa pisaang-ubas na nasa labas ng lungsod. Lumabas ang dugo mula sa pisaang-ubas. Ito ay kasinglayo ng bokado ng mga kabayo sa layong tatlong daang kilometro.
Revelation 14
King James Version
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 14
New King James Version
The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and behold, [a]a (A)Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him (B)one hundred and forty-four thousand, [b]having His Father’s name (C)written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, (D)like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of (E)harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song (F)except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, (G)for they are virgins. These are the ones (H)who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These (I)were [c]redeemed from among men, (J)being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And (K)in their mouth was found no [d]deceit, for (L)they are without fault [e]before the throne of God.
The Proclamations of Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel (M)flying in the midst of heaven, (N)having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—(O)to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, (P)“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; (Q)and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
8 And another angel followed, saying, (R)“Babylon[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because (S)she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, (T)“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his (U)mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself (V)shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is (W)poured out full strength into (X)the cup of His indignation. (Y)He shall be tormented with (Z)fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And (AA)the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
12 (AB)Here is the [g]patience of the saints; (AC)here[h] are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying [i]to me, “Write: (AD)‘Blessed are the dead (AE)who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, (AF)“that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow (AG)them.”
Reaping the Earth’s Harvest
14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel (AH)came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, (AI)“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come [j]for You to reap, for the harvest (AJ)of the earth is ripe.” 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Reaping the Grapes of Wrath
17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, (AK)who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, (AL)“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into (AM)the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And (AN)the winepress was trampled (AO)outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, (AP)up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred [k]furlongs.
