Revelasyon 7
1 Apre sa, mwen wè kat zanj kanpe nan kat kwen latè a. Yo t'ap kenbe kat van yo pou okenn van pa t' soufle ni sou tè, ni sou lanmè, ni sou okenn piebwa.
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.
2 Lè sa a, mwen wè yon lòt zanj ki moute soti bò kote solèy leve a. Li te gen nan men l' letanp Bondye vivan an. Li rele byen fò, li pale ak kat zanj yo ki te resevwa pouvwa pou ravaje tè a ak lanmè a, li di yo:
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.
3 Poko fè ni tè a, ni lanmè a, ni piebwa yo okenn donmaj. Tann nou fin make sèvitè Bondye yo ak letanp lan sou fwon yo.
"Injure neither land nor sea nor trees," he said, "until we have sealed the bondservants of our God upon their foreheads."
4 Apre sa, yo di m' kantite moun ki te make ak letanp Bondye a sou fwon yo. Te gen antou sankarannkatmil (144.000) nan tout branch ras pèp Izrayèl la.
When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000.
5 Te gen douzmil (12.000) nan branch Jida a ki te make ak letanp lan, douzmil nan branch Woubenn lan, douzmil nan branch Gad la,
Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000; Of the tribe of Gad, 12,000;
6 douzmil nan branch Asè a, douzmil nan branch Nèftali a, douzmil nan branch Manase a,
Of the tribe of Asher, 12,000; Of the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000; Of the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000;
7 douzmil nan branch Simeyon an, douzmil nan branch Levi a, douzmil nan branch Isaka a,
Of the tribe of Symeon, 12,000; Of the tribe of Levi, 12,000; Of the tribe of Issachar, 12,000;
8 douzmil nan branch Zabilon an, douzmil nan branch Jozèf la, douzmil nan branch Benjamen an.
Of the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000; Of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000; Of the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000.
9 Apre sa, mwen gade ankò, mwen wè yon gwo foul moun. Pesonn pa t' kapab konte kantite ki te gen ladan li. Se te moun tout lòt nasyon, tout kalite ras, pèp tout peyi ak tout lang. Yo te kanpe la devan fòtèy la ak devan ti Mouton an. Yo te gen rad tou blan sou yo, yo te gen fèy palmis nan men yo.
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.
10 Yo t'ap rele byen fò, yo t'ap di: Se Bondye nou an ki chita sou fòtèy la. Se li menm ansanm ak ti Mouton an ki vin delivre nou.
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!"
11 Tout zanj yo kanpe, yo fè yon wonn, yo mete fòtèy la, granmoun yo ak kat bèt vivan yo nan mitan yo. Yo lage kò yo atè devan fòtèy la, yo bese tèt yo byen ba pou adore Bondye,
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.
12 yo t'ap di: Se vre wi. Lwanj, onè, bon konprann, rekonesans, respè, pouvwa ak fòs, tou sa pou Bondye nou an pou tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
"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 g165)
13 Apre sa, yonn nan granmoun yo mande mwen: Moun sa yo ki gen rad tou blan sou yo a, ki moun yo ye? Ki bò yo soti?
Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, "Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? And where have they come from?"
14 Mwen reponn li: Se ou menm ki konnen wi, mèt mwen. Lè sa a, li di mwen: Se moun ki pase anba gwo pèsekisyon an. Yo lave rad yo, yo blanchi yo nan san ti Mouton an.
"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.
15 Se poutèt sa, yo kanpe la devan fòtèy Bondye a, lajounen kou lannwit y'ap sèvi nan tanp li a. Moun ki chita sou fòtèy la ap toujou la pou pwoteje yo.
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.
16 Yo p'ap janm grangou, yo p'ap janm swaf dlo. Ni solèy, ni okenn lòt gwo chalè p'ap kapab boule yo.
They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and never again will the sun or any scorching heat trouble them.
17 Paske, ti Mouton ki nan mitan fòtèy la va tankou yon gadò pou yo. La mennen yo bò sous dlo ki bay lavi a. Se Bondye menm ki va siye dlo nan je yo.
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."
