Revelation 7
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.
這事以後，我看見了四位天使，站在大地的四角上，握住地上的四股風，不讓風吹向大地、海洋和各種樹木。
2 And I saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
我又看見了另一位天使，從太陽出升之地上來，拿著永生天主的印，大聲向那領了傷害大地和海洋權柄的四位天使呼喊，
3 saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
說：「你們不可傷害大地、海洋和樹木，等我們在我們天主的眾僕額上，先蓋上印。」
4 And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
以後，我聽見蓋了印的數目：在以色列子孫各支派中蓋了印的，共有十四萬四千。
5 Of the tribe of Judah [were] sealed twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand;
由猶大支派中蓋上印的有一萬二千；勒烏本支派一萬二千；加得支派一萬二千；
6 Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand;
阿協爾支派一萬二千；納斐塔里支派一萬二千；默納協支派一萬二千；
7 Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand;
西默盎支派一萬二千；肋未支派一萬二千；依撒加爾支派一萬二千；
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
則步隆支派一萬二千；若瑟支派一萬二千；由本雅明支派中蓋上印的有一萬二千。
9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of [all] tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
在這些事以後，我看見有一大夥群眾，沒有人能夠數清，是來自各邦國、各支派、各民族、各異語的，他們都站在寶座和羔羊面前，身穿白衣，手持棕櫚枝，
10 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.
大聲呼喊說：「救恩來自那坐在寶座上的我們的天主，並來自羔羊！」
11 And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
於是所有站在寶座、長老和那四個活物周圍的天使，在寶座前俯伏於地，朝拜天主
12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
說：「阿們。願讚頌、光榮、智慧、稱謝、尊威、權能和勇毅，全歸於我們的天主，至於無窮之世。阿們。」 (aiōn g165)
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
長老中有一位問我說：「這些穿白衣的人是誰？他們是從那裏來的？」
14 And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
我回答他說：「我主，你知道。」於是他告訴我說：「這些人是由大災難中來的，他們曾在羔羊的血中洗淨了自己的衣裳，使衣裳雪白，
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.
因此，他們得站在天主的寶座前，且在他的殿宇內日夜事奉他；那坐在寶座上的，也必要住在他們中間。
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat:
他們再也不餓，再也不渴，烈日和任何炎熱，再也不損傷他們，
17 for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
因為，那在寶座中間的羔羊要牧放他們，要領他們到生命的水泉那裏；天主也要從他們的眼上拭去一切淚痕。」
