And after these things I saw four messengers, standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind may not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree;
2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲉⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲁ ⲙⲡⲣⲏ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲁϥϫⲓ ϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he cried with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,
“Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we may seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

And I heard the number of those sealed—one hundred forty-four thousand, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:

of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;

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.

After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, having been clothed [in] white robes, and palms in their hands,
and crying with a great voice, saying, “Salvation to our God, the [One] sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲩⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲁϩⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲩϩⲟ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces and worshiped God,
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲉⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn g165)
saying, “Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the strength, [are] to our God through the ages of the ages! Amen!” (aiōn g165)
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲃϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ
And one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These having been clothed with the white robes, who are they, and from where have they come?”
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲁⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ
And I have said to him, “Lord, you have known”; and he said to me, “These are those who are coming out of the Great Tribulation, and they washed their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉϥⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲓⲃⲉⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ
because of this they are before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His temple, and He who is sitting on the throne will dwell over them;
they will not hunger anymore, nor may the sun fall on them, nor any heat,
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϫⲓ ⲙⲟⲉⲓⲧ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲱⲧⲉ ⲛⲣⲙⲉⲓⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ
because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne will feed them, and will lead them to living fountains of waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
