1 Un pēc tam es redzēju četrus eņģeļus stāvam uz tiem četriem zemes stūriem, kas tos četrus zemes vējus turēja, lai vējš nepūstu ne pa zemi, ne pa jūru, ne pa kādu koku.
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.
2 Un es redzēju citu eņģeli uzkāpjam no rīta puses, tam bija tā dzīvā Dieva zieģelis, un tas sauca ar stipru balsi uz tiem četriem eņģeļiem, kam vara bija dota, samaitāt zemi un jūru,
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
3 Sacīdams: nesamaitājiet ne zemi, ne jūru, ne kokus, tiekams mēs apzieģelēsim sava Dieva kalpus pie viņu pierēm.
[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.”
4 Un es dzirdēju, cik to apzieģelēto: simts četrdesmit un četri tūkstoši bija apzieģelēti no visām Israēla bērnu ciltīm.
[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].
5 No Jūda cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši apzieģelēti. No Rūbena cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši. No Gada cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši.
[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,
6 No Ašera cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši. No Naftalus cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši. No Manasus cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši.
12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
7 No Sīmeana cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši. No Levja cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši. No Īsašara cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši.
12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12.000 from the tribe of Issachar,
8 No Zebulona cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši. No Jāzepa cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši. No Benjamina cilts: divpadsmit tūkstoši apzieģelēti.
12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, and 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin.
9 Pēc tam es redzēju, un raugi, liels pulks, ko neviens nevarēja izskaitīt, no visādām tautām un ciltīm un ļaudīm un valodām stāvēja priekš tā goda krēsla un priekš Tā Jēra, apģērbti baltām garām drēbēm un palmu zari viņu rokās,
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].
10 Un sauca ar stipru balsi un sacīja: pestīšana pieder mūsu Dievam, kas sēž uz tā goda krēsla, un Tam Jēram.
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]!”
11 Un visi eņģeļi stāvēja visapkārt ap to goda krēslu un ap tiem vecajiem un tiem četriem dzīviem un metās priekš tā goda krēsla zemē uz savu vaigu un pielūdza Dievu,
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.
12 Sacīdami: Āmen! Teikšana un gods un gudrība un pateicība un slava un vara un spēks pieder mūsu Dievam mūžīgi mūžam! Āmen. (aiōn )
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 )
13 Un viens no tiem vecajiem atbildēja, uz mani sacīdams: šie, kas apģērbti baltām garām drēbēm, kas tie tādi, un no kurienes tie nākuši?
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?”
14 Un es uz viņu sacīju: Kungs, tu to zini! Un viņš uz mani sacīja: šie ir tie, kas ir nākuši no tām lielām bēdām un ir mazgājuši savas drēbes un tās balinājuši iekš Tā Jēra asinīm;
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.
15 Tādēļ tie ir Dieva goda krēsla priekšā un Viņam kalpo dienām un naktīm Viņa namā, un kas sēž uz tā goda krēsla, Tas tos apēnos.
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].
16 Ne tie vairs izsalks, ne tiem vairs slāps; nedz saule, nedz kāds karstums tos vairs nespiedīs;
[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].
17 Jo Tas Jērs, kas ir vidū priekš tā goda krēsla, tos ganīs un tos vadīs pie dzīviem ūdens avotiem, un Dievs nožāvēs visas asaras no viņu acīm.
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].”
