< Revelation 7 >
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, and holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow over the earth or the sea or upon any tree.
anantaraṁ catvārō divyadūtā mayā dr̥ṣṭāḥ, tē pr̥thivyāścaturṣu kōṇēṣu tiṣṭhanataḥ pr̥thivyāṁ samudrē vr̥kṣēṣu ca vāyu ryathā na vahēt tathā pr̥thivyāścaturō vāyūn dhārayanti|
2 And I saw another angel coming from the east and carrying a seal belonging to the ever-living God. He called in a loud voice to the four angels whose work it was to injure the earth and the sea.
anantaraṁ sūryyōdayasthānād udyan apara ēkō dūtō mayā dr̥ṣṭaḥ sō'marēśvarasya mudrāṁ dhārayati, yēṣu cartuṣu dūtēṣu pr̥thivīsamudrayō rhiṁsanasya bhārō dattastān sa uccairidaṁ avadat|
3 "Injure neither land nor sea nor trees," he said, "until we have sealed the bondservants of our God upon their foreheads."
īśvarasya dāsā yāvad asmābhi rbhālēṣu mudrayāṅkitā na bhaviṣyanti tāvat pr̥thivī samudrō taravaśca yuṣmābhi rna hiṁsyantāṁ|
4 When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000.
tataḥ paraṁ mudrāṅkitalōkānāṁ saṁkhyā mayāśrāvi| isrāyēlaḥ sarvvavaṁśāyāścatuścatvāriṁśatsahasrādhikalakṣalōkā mudrayāṅkitā abhavan,
5 Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000; Of the tribe of Gad, 12,000;
arthatō yihūdāvaṁśē dvādaśasahasrāṇi rūbēṇavaṁśē dvādaśasahasrāṇi gādavaṁśē dvādaśasahasrāṇi,
6 Of the tribe of Asher, 12,000; Of the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000; Of the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000;

7 Of the tribe of Symeon, 12,000; Of the tribe of Levi, 12,000; Of the tribe of Issachar, 12,000;

8 Of the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000; Of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000; Of the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000.

9 After this I looked, and a vast host appeared which it was impossible for anyone to count, gathered out of every nation and from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and carrying palm-branches in their hands.
tataḥ paraṁ sarvvajātīyānāṁ sarvvavaṁśīyānāṁ sarvvadēśīyānāṁ sarvvabhāṣāvādināñca mahālōkāraṇyaṁ mayā dr̥ṣṭaṁ, tān gaṇayituṁ kēnāpi na śakyaṁ, tē ca śubhraparicchadaparihitāḥ santaḥ karaiśca tālavr̥ntāni vahantaḥ siṁhāsanasya mēṣaśāvakasya cāntikē tiṣṭhanti,
10 In loud voices they were exclaiming, "It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!"
uccaiḥsvarairidaṁ kathayanti ca, siṁhāsanōpaviṣṭasya paramēśasya naḥ stavaḥ|stavaśca mēṣavatsasya sambhūyāt trāṇakāraṇāt|
11 All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne and round the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God.
tataḥ sarvvē dūtāḥ siṁhāsanasya prācīnavargasya prāṇicatuṣṭayasya ca paritastiṣṭhantaḥ siṁhāsanasyāntikē nyūbjībhūyēśvaraṁ praṇamya vadanti,
12 "Even so!" they cried: "The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honor and the power and the might are to be ascribed to our God, until the Ages of the Ages! Even so!" (aiōn )
tathāstu dhanyavādaśca tējō jñānaṁ praśaṁsanaṁ| śauryyaṁ parākramaścāpi śaktiśca sarvvamēva tat| varttatāmīśvarē'smākaṁ nityaṁ nityaṁ tathāstviti| (aiōn )
13 Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, "Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? And where have they come from?"
tataḥ paraṁ tēṣāṁ prācīnānām ēkō janō māṁ sambhāṣya jagāda śubhraparicchadaparihitā imē kē? kutō vāgatāḥ?
14 "My lord, you know," I replied. "They are those," he said, "who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
tatō mayōktaṁ hē mahēccha bhavānēva tat jānāti| tēna kathitaṁ, imē mahāklēśamadhyād āgatya mēṣaśāvakasya rudhirēṇa svīyaparicchadān prakṣālitavantaḥ śuklīkr̥tavantaśca|
15 For this reason they stand before the very throne of God, and render Him service, day after day and night after night, in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne will shelter them in His tent.
tatkāraṇāt ta īśvarasya siṁhāsanasyāntikē tiṣṭhantō divārātraṁ tasya mandirē taṁ sēvantē siṁhāsanōpaviṣṭō janaśca tān adhisthāsyati|
16 They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and never again will the sun or any scorching heat trouble them.
tēṣāṁ kṣudhā pipāsā vā puna rna bhaviṣyati raudraṁ kōpyuttāpō vā tēṣu na nipatiṣyati,
17 For the Lamb who is in front of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to watersprings of Life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."
yataḥ siṁhāsanādhiṣṭhānakārī mēṣaśāvakastān cārayiṣyati, amr̥tatōyānāṁ prasravaṇānāṁ sannidhiṁ tān gamayiṣyati ca, īśvarō'pi tēṣāṁ nayanabhyaḥ sarvvamaśru pramārkṣyati|
