啟示錄 14
1 我又觀看，見羔羊站在錫安山，同他又有十四萬四千人，都有他的名和他父的名寫在額上。
Then, in my vision, I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion. With him were a hundred and forty-four thousand, with his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
2 我聽見從天上有聲音，像眾水的聲音和大雷的聲音，並且我所聽見的好像彈琴的所彈的琴聲。
And I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a loud peal of thunder; the sound that I heard was like the music of harpers playing on their harps.
3 他們在寶座前，並在四活物和眾長老前唱歌，彷彿是新歌；除了從地上買來的那十四萬四千人以外，沒有人能學這歌。
They are singing what seems to be a new song, before the throne, and before the four creatures and the elders; and no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from earth.
4 這些人未曾沾染婦女，他們原是童身。羔羊無論往哪裏去，他們都跟隨他。他們是從人間買來的，作初熟的果子歸與上帝和羔羊。
These are the men who never defiled themselves in their intercourse with women; they are as pure as virgins. These are the men who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed as the first-fruits of mankind for God and for the Lamb.
5 在他們口中察不出謊言來；他們是沒有瑕疵的。
No lie was ever heard on their lips. They are beyond reach of blame.
Then I saw another angel, flying in mid-heaven. He had the good news, decreed from eternity, to announce to those who live on the earth – to men of every nation, and tribe, and language, and people; (aiōnios g166)
7 他大聲說：「應當敬畏上帝，將榮耀歸給他！因他施行審判的時候已經到了。應當敬拜那創造天地海和眾水泉源的。」
and he cried in a loud voice – ‘Reverence God, and give him praise (for the hour of his judgment has come) and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all springs of water.’
8 又有第二位天使接着說：「叫萬民喝邪淫、大怒之酒的巴比倫大城傾倒了！傾倒了！」
Then a second angel followed, crying – ‘She has fallen! She has fallen – Babylon the Great, who has made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her licentiousness!’
9 又有第三位天使接着他們，大聲說：「若有人拜獸和獸像，在額上或在手上受了印記，
Then a third angel followed them, crying in a loud voice – ‘Whoever worships the Beast and its image, and receives its brand on his forehead or on his hand,
10 這人也必喝上帝大怒的酒；此酒斟在上帝忿怒的杯中純一不雜。他要在聖天使和羔羊面前，在火與硫磺之中受痛苦。
that person will drink the maddening wine of God that has been poured unmixed into the cup of his wrath, and they will be tortured with fire and sulfur before the eyes of the holy angels and before the eyes of the Lamb.
The smoke from their torture rises for ever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night – those who worship the Beast and its image, and all who are branded with its name.’ (aiōn g165)
12 聖徒的忍耐就在此；他們是守上帝誡命和耶穌真道的。
(Here there is need for endurance on the part of Christ’s people – those who lay to heart the commands of God and the faith of Jesus.)
13 我聽見從天上有聲音說：「你要寫下：從今以後，在主裏面而死的人有福了！」聖靈說：「是的，他們息了自己的勞苦，做工的果效也隨着他們。」
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying ‘Write: “Blessed are the dead who from this hour die in union with the Lord.”’ “Yes,” answers the Spirit, “that they may rest from their toil. Their good deeds go with them.”
14 我又觀看，見有一片白雲，雲上坐着一位好像人子，頭上戴着金冠冕，手裏拿着快鐮刀。
Then, in my vision, I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud there was sitting one like a man. On his head he had a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 又有一位天使從殿中出來，向那坐在雲上的大聲喊着說：「伸出你的鐮刀來收割；因為收割的時候已經到了，地上的莊稼已經熟透了。」
Then another angel came out from the Temple, crying in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud – ‘Take your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come; the Harvest of Earth is ready.’
16 那坐在雲上的，就把鐮刀扔在地上，地上的莊稼就被收割了。
He who was sitting on the cloud brought his sickle down on the earth, and the Harvest of Earth was reaped.
17 又有一位天使從天上的殿中出來，他也拿着快鐮刀。
Then another angel came out of the Temple in heaven; he, also, had a sharp sickle.
18 又有一位天使從祭壇中出來，是有權柄管火的，向拿着快鐮刀的大聲喊着說：「伸出快鐮刀來，收取地上葡萄樹的果子，因為葡萄熟透了！」
Then another angel came out of the altar; he had power over fire, and he called in a loud voice to the angel that had the sharp sickle – ‘Take your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the vine of Earth, for its grapes are ripe.’
19 那天使就把鐮刀扔在地上，收取了地上的葡萄，丟在上帝忿怒的大酒醡中。
The angel brought his sickle down on the earth and gathered the fruit of the vine of Earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 那酒醡踹在城外，就有血從酒醡裏流出來，高到馬的嚼環，遠有六百里。
The grapes were trodden in the press outside the city; and blood came out of the press, rising as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of two hundred miles.
