Wahyu 7
1 Lalu saya melihat empat malaikat yang berdiri di ke empat arah mata angin, menahan agar angin tidak bertiup di atas bumi, laut ataupun pepohonan.
And after these things I saw four messengers, standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind may not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree;
2 Saya memeperhatikan ada malaikat yang muncul dari timur membawa meterai dari Allah yang Hidup. Dia berteriak dengan suara keras keapda ke empat malaikat yang sudah menerima kuasa untuk membuat kerusakan di bumi dan di laut,
and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he cried with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,
3 “Janganlah dulu merusak bumi, laut ataupun pepohonan sampai kami sudah menempelkan meterai di dahi umat Allah yang sejati!”
“Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we may seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
4 Saya diberitahu bahwa jumlah mereka yang akan menerima meterai adalah 144.000 orang. Mereka yang mendapat meterai itu berasal dari suku bangsa Israel:
And I heard the number of those sealed—one hundred forty-four thousand, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 dua belas ribu dari suku Yehuda, dua belas ribu dari suku Ruben, dua belas ribu dari suku Gad,
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;
6 dua belas ribu dari suku Asyer, dua belas ribu dari suku Naftali, dua belas ribu dari suku Manasye,
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;
7 dua belas ribu dari suku Simeon, dua belas ribu dari suku Lewi, dua belas ribu dari suku Isakhar,
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;
8 dua belas ribu dari suku Zebulon, dua belas ribu dari suku Yusuf, dua belas ribu dari suku Benyamin.
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.
9 Sesudah ini saya melihat dan menatap gerombolan besar yang manusia yang tidak seorangpun dapat menghitung jumlahnya, yang terdiri dari setiap bangsa, suku, umat dan bahasa. Mereka berdiri di hadapan takhta itu dan Anak Domba, berpakaian jubah putih, sambil memegang ranting-ranting pohon palem di tangan mereka.
After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, having been clothed [in] white robes, and palms in their hands,
10 Mereka berteriak dengan suara keras, “Kami selamat karena Allah kami yang duduk di atas taktha dan dari Anak Domba.”
and crying with a great voice, saying, “Salvation to our God, the [One] sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 Seluruh malaikat mengelilingi takhta itu, dan para pemimpin dan keempat mahkluk itu sujud menyembah di hadapan tahkta dan Allah.
And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces and worshiped God,
12 “Amin!” kata mereka. “Pujian, kemuliaan, kebijaksanaan, syukur, hormat, kuasa dan kekuatan, bagi Allah untuk selama-lamanya. Amin.” (aiōn g165)
saying, “Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the strength, [are] to our God through the ages of the ages! Amen!” (aiōn g165)
13 Salah satu pemimpin berkata kepadaku, “Tahukah kamu tentang mereka yang berpakaian putih dan dari mana mereka datang?”
And one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These having been clothed with the white robes, who are they, and from where have they come?”
14 Saya menjawab, “Tuan, saya tidak tahu. Engkau yang tahu jawabannya.” Ktanya kepadaku, “Mereka adalah orang-orang yang sudah melewati penganiayaan besar itu. Mereka sudah mencuci jubah mereka, membuat jubah mereka putih dengan darah Anak Domba.
And I have said to him, “Lord, you have known”; and he said to me, “These are those who are coming out of the Great Tribulation, and they washed their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;
15 Itu sebabnya mereka bisa berdiri di hadapan takhta Allah, dan mereka melayani Dia siang dan malam di dalam Rumah-Nya. Dia yang duduk di atas tahkta akan melindungi mereka dengan kehadiran-Nya.
because of this they are before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His temple, and He who is sitting on the throne will dwell over them;
16 Mereka tidak akan pernah lagi merasa lapar, ataupun haus, panas matahari tidak akan terasa menyengat atas mereka dan mereka tidak menderita panas terik,
they will not hunger anymore, nor may the sun fall on them, nor any heat,
17 sebab Anak Domba yang ada di tengah takhta akan menjadi gembala mereka, dan akan menuntun mereka ke sumber air yang memberi hidup, dan Allah akan menghapus setiap air mata dari mata mereka.”
because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne will feed them, and will lead them to living fountains of waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
