Revelation 7
1 And after these things I saw four messengers, standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor 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 messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,
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 'Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon 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 those sealed, (one hundred and forty four thousands were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons 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 twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
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 were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
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 were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
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 were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
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 lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and 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 crying with a great voice, saying, 'The salvation [is] to Him who is sitting upon the throne — to our God, and to 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 messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before 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! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, [are] to our God — to the ages of the ages! 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 answer did one of the elders, saying to me, 'These, who have been arrayed with 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 have said to him, 'Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, 'These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes 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 because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall 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 not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall 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 because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God 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。」
