Otkrivenje 7
1 Nakon toga vidjeh: četiri anđela stoje na četiri kraja zemlje zadržavajući četiri vjetra zemaljska da nikakav vjetar ne puše ni zemljom ni morem nit ikojim drvećem.
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.
2 I vidjeh drugoga jednog anđela gdje uzlazi od istoka sunčeva s pečatom Boga živoga. On povika iza glasa onoj četvorici anđela kojima bi dano nauditi zemlji i moru:
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:
3 “Ne udite ni zemlji ni moru ni drveću dok ne opečatimo sluge Boga našega na čelima!”
“Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
4 I začujem broj opečaćenih - sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće opečaćenih iz svih plemena sinova Izraelovih:
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel:
5 iz plemena Judina dvanaest tisuća opečaćenih, iz plemena Rubenova dvanaest tisuća, iz plemena Gadova dvanaest tisuća,
From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 iz plemena Ašerova dvanaest tisuća, iz plemena Naftalijeva dvanest tisuća, iz plemena Manašeova dvanaest tisuća,
from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 iz plemena Šimunova dvanaest tisuća, iz plemena Levijeva dvanaest tisuća, iz plemena Jisakarova dvanaest tisuća,
from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 iz plemena Zebulunova dvanaest tisuća, iz plemena Josipova dvanaest tisuća, iz plemena Benjaminova dvanaest tisuća opečaćenih.
from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, and from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
9 Nakon toga vidjeh: eno velikoga mnoštva, što ga nitko ne mogaše izbrojiti, iz svakoga naroda, i plemena, i puka, i jezika! Stoje pred prijestoljem i pred Jaganjcem odjeveni u bijele haljine; palme im u rukama.
After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
10 Viču iz glasa: “Spasenje Bogu našemu koji sjedi na prijestolju i Jaganjcu!”
And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 I svi anđeli, što stajahu uokolo prijestolja i starješina i četiriju bića, padoše pred prijestoljem ničice, na svoja lica,
And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,
12 i pokloniše se Bogu govoreći: “Amen! Blagoslov i slava, i mudrost, i zahvalnica, i čast, i moć i snaga Bogu našemu u vijeke vjekova. Amen.” (aiōn g165)
saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn g165)
13 I jedan me od starješina upita: “Ovi odjeveni u bijele haljine, tko su i odakle dođoše?”
Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”
14 Odgovorih mu: “Gospodine moj, ti to znaš.” A on će mi: “Oni dođoše iz nevolje velike i oprali su haljine svoje i ubijelili ih u krvi Jaganjčevoj.
“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Zato su pred prijestoljem Božjim i služe mu dan i noć u hramu njegovu, i Onaj koji sjedi na prijestolju razapet će Šator svoj nad njima.
For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.
16 Neće više gladovati ni žeđati, neće ih više paliti sunce nit ikakva žega
‘Never again will they hunger, and never will they thirst; nor will the sun beat down upon them, nor any scorching heat.’
17 jer - Jaganjac koji je posred prijestolja bit će pastir njihov i vodit će ih na izvore voda života. I otrt će Bog svaku suzu s očiju njihovih.”
For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. ‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
