Apokalypsy 7
1 Rehefa afaka izany, dia hitako fa, indreo, nisy anjely efatra nitsangana teo amin’ ny vazan-tany efatra, nihazona ny rivotra efatra amin’ ny tany, mba tsy nisy rivotra hitsoka amin’ ny tany, na amin’ ny ranomasina, na amin’ ny hazo akory aza.
After this, I saw four angels standing ‘upon the four corners of the earth,’ restraining the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow over the earth, or over the sea, or against any tree.
2 Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy anjely hafa koa niakatra avy tany amin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro, nanana ny fanombohan-kasen’ Andriamanitra velona; ary iry niantso ny anjely efatra izay navela hanimba ny tany sy ny ranomasina tamin’ ny feo mahery nanao hoe:
And, in the east, I saw another angel, ascending, holding the seal of the Living God; and he cried in a loud voice to the four angels, to whom there had been given power to harm the earth and the sea —
3 Aza manimba ny tany, na ny ranomasina, na ny hazo, mandra-panisinay tombo-kase eo anin’ ny handrin’ ny mpanompon’ Andriamanitsika.
‘Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.’
4 Ary nahare ny isan’ izay voaisy tombo-kase aho: efatra arivo amby efatra alina amby iray hetsy no voaisy tombo-kase avy tamin’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ isiraely rehetra.
I heard, too, the number of those who had been sealed. It was one hundred and forty-four thousand; and they were from every tribe of the Israelites.
5 Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Joda roa arivo amby iray alina no voaisy tombo-kase. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Robena roa arivo amby iray alina. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Gada roa arivo amby iray alina.
From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Asera roa arivo amby iray alina. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Naftaly roa arivo amby iray alina. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Manase roa arivo amby iray alina.
from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Napthali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Simeona roa arivo amby iray alina. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Levy roa arivo amby iray alina. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ Isakara roa arivo amby iray alina.
from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Zebolona roa arivo amby iray alina. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Josefa roa arivo amby iray alina. Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina roa arivo amby iray alina no voaisy tombo-kase.
from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 Rehefa afaka izany dia hitako fa, indreo, nisy olona betsaka tsy tambo isaina avy tamin’ ny firenena rehetra sy ny fokom-pirenena sy ny olona ary ny samy hafa fiteny nitsangana teo anoloan’ ny seza fiandrianana sy teo anatrehan’ ny Zanak’ ondry, niakanjo akanjo fotsy lava sady nitana sampan-drofia teny an-tànany,
After this, in my vision, I saw a vast throng which no man could number, of men from every nation and of all tribes, and peoples, and languages. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, robed in white, holding palm branches in their hands.
10 dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery izy nanao hoe: Ny famonjena anie ho an’ Andriamanitsika, Izay mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianana, sy ho an’ ny Zanak’ ondry.
And they are crying in a loud voice — ‘Salvation be ascribed to our God who is seated on his throne and to the Lamb.’
11 Ary ny anjely rehetra nitsangana manodidina ny seza fiandrianana mbamin’ ny loholona sy ny zava-manan’ aina efatra, dia niankohoka teo anoloan’ ny seza fiandrianana izy ka nivavaka tamin’ Andriamanitra
And all the angels were standing round the throne and the Councillors and the four Creatures, and they prostrated themselves on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God,
12 nanao hoe: Amena! Ny saotra sy ny voninahitra sy ny fahendrena sy ny fisaorana sy ny haja sy ny hery ary ny faherezana anie Ho an’ Andriamanitsika mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn g165)
saying — ‘Amen. Blessing and praise, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.’ (aiōn g165)
13 Ary ny anankiray tamin’ ny loholona namaly ka nanao tamiko hoe: Iza moa ireo miakanjo akanjo fotsy lava? Ary avy taiza izy?
Then one of the Councillors turned to me and said ‘Who are these who are robed in white? and whence did they come?’
14 Fa hoy iraho taminy: Tompoko, ianao no mahalala. Dia hoy iry tamiko: Ireo no avy tamin’ ny fahoriana lehibe, ary ny akanjony nosasany sy nofotsiany tamin’ ny ran’ ny Zanak’ ondry.
‘My Lord,’ I answered, ‘it is you who know.’ ‘These,’ he said, ‘are they who come through the Great Persecution; they washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Ary noho izany ny akanjony nosasany sy mitoetra eo anoloan’ ny seza fiandrianan’ Andriamanitra izy ka manompo Azy andro aman’ alina eo amin’ ny tempoliny; ary Ilay mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianana dia hamelatra ny trano-lainy handrakotra ary.
And therefore it is that they are before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his Temple; and he who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
16 Tsy ho noana na hangetaheta intsony ireo; ary tsy haninona azy ny masoandro na izay hafanana akory.
Never again shall they be hungry, never again shall they be thirsty, nor shall the sun smite upon them, nor any scorching heat;
17 Fa ny Zanak’ ondry Izay eo afovoan’ ny seza fiandrianana no ho Mpiandry azy ka hitondra azy ho amin’ ny loharanon’ ny ranon’ aina; ary hofafan’ Andriamanitra ny ranomaso rehetra amin’ ny masony.
for the Lamb that stands in the space before the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to life-giving springs of water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.’
