Revelation 7
1 After this I saw four angels. One was standing at the north, one at the east, one at the south, and one at the west. They were restraining the winds that blew from all directions [MTY] to keep them from blowing [destructively] on the earth or on the ocean or even on any tree.
Depois disso, vi quatro anjos de pé nos quatro cantos da terra, segurando os quatro ventos da terra, para que nenhum vento soprasse sobre a terra, ou sobre o mar, ou sobre qualquer árvore.
2 I saw another angel come up from the east. He was carrying God’s seal. [With this] seal God, who is all-powerful, marks [his own people to protect them]. The angel called out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom [he] had given [power] to harm the earth and the ocean. He said
Eu vi outro anjo subir do nascer do sol, tendo o selo do Deus vivo. Ele chorou com voz alta aos quatro anjos a quem foi dado para prejudicar a terra e o mar,
3 [to them], “Do not harm the earth or the ocean or the trees until we [(exc)] have marked the servants of our [(inc)] God on their foreheads.”
dizendo: “Não prejudique a terra, o mar ou as árvores, até que tenhamos selado os escravos de nosso Deus em suas testas”!
4 [Then the angel and his fellow angels marked all God’s servants]. I heard the number of people who were marked {whom [the angels] marked} [because of their being God’s servants. The number was] 144,000. They were from all the tribes of Israel. [They symbolized the complete number of people whom God would protect].
Ouvi o número daqueles que foram selados, cento e quarenta e quatro mil, selados de todas as tribos dos filhos de Israel:
5 [The angels] marked 12,000 people from the tribe of Judah, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
da tribo de Judá, doze mil foram selados, da tribo de Reuben doze mil, da tribo de Gad doze mil,
6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
da tribo de Asher doze mil, da tribo de Naftali, doze mil, da tribo de Manasseh, doze mil,
7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12.000 from the tribe of Issachar,
da tribo de Simeão doze mil, da tribo de Levi doze mil, da tribo de Issachar doze mil,
8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, and 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin.
da tribo de Zebulun doze mil, da tribo de José doze mil, e da tribo de Benjamin, doze mil foram selados.
9 After these things I saw a huge crowd. There were so [many people] that no one would be able to count them. [They were] from every nation, every tribe, every people-group, and every language [MTY]. They were standing before the throne and before [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb. They were wearing white robes and held palm branches [to wave them in order to celebrate].
Depois destas coisas eu olhei, e eis uma grande multidão que nenhum homem podia contar, de todas as nações e de todas as tribos, povos e línguas, de pé diante do trono e diante do Cordeiro, vestido com vestes brancas, com ramos de palmeira nas mãos.
10 They shouted loudly, “[O] our [(exc)] God, you who sit on the throne, and [Jesus, you who are like a] lamb, [you two] have delivered [us(exc) from Satan’s power]!”
Choraram com voz alta, dizendo: “Salvação seja ao nosso Deus, que está sentado no trono, e ao Cordeiro!
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living [creatures]. They all bowed down before the throne with their faces [to the ground] and worshipped God.
Todos os anjos estavam de pé ao redor do trono, os anciãos e os quatro seres vivos; e eles caíram de cara diante de seu trono e adoraram a Deus,
12 They said, “May it be so! [We(exc)] praise, thank, and honor [you], our [(exc)] God, forever! [We(exc) acknowledge] that you are completely wise, the powerful one, who is forever able to accomplish everything he wants to. (May everyone acknowlege that it is so!/Amen!)” (aiōn g165)
dizendo: “Amém! Bênção, glória, sabedoria, ação de graças, honra, poder e poder, sejam para o nosso Deus para todo o sempre! Amém”. (aiōn g165)
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These [people] who are wearing white robes, [do you know] who they are, and where they come from?”
Um dos anciãos respondeu, dizendo-me: “Estes que estão vestidos com as vestes brancas, quem são eles, e de onde vieram?
14 I answered him, “Sir, [I do not know. Surely] you know [who they are]!” He said to me, “These are the people (whom [others] have caused to suffer greatly/who [have been persecuted]). [Because they believed that Jesus, the one who is like a sacrificial] lamb, [atoned for our sin when] his blood [flowed from his body when he died, it is as though] [MET] they have washed their robes and have made them [clean and] white.
Eu lhe disse: “Meu senhor, você sabe”. Ele me disse: “Estes são aqueles que saíram do grande sofrimento. Eles lavaram suas vestes e as tornaram brancas no sangue do Cordeiro.
15 Because of this, they are in front of God’s throne, and they serve him day and night in his [heavenly temple. God], the one who sits on the throne, will shelter/protect them [MTY].
Por isso estão diante do trono de Deus, e o servem dia e noite em seu templo. Aquele que se senta no trono espalhará seu tabernáculo sobre eles.
16 [As a result], they will never again be hungry. They will never again be thirsty. The sun will never again (beat on/burn) them, nor will any heat [scorch them].
Eles nunca mais terão fome ou sede. O sol não baterá neles, nem qualquer calor;
17 This is because the [one who is like a] lamb who is at the throne will [take care of them, just like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]. He will guide them [to the source of eternal life, just like a shepherd leads his sheep] to springs of water, [which enable the sheep] to live [MET]. God will [cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as if he were] wiping away all tears from their eyes [MTY].”
para o Cordeiro que está no meio do trono os pastoreia e os conduz a nascentes de águas que dão vida. E Deus limpará de seus olhos toda lágrima”.
