1 मैले सियोन पर्वतमा थुमा उभिरहनुभएको हेरेँ र देखेँ । उहाँसँग १,४४, ००० थिए, जोसँग उहाँको नाउँ र उहाँका पिताको नाउँ तिनीहरूका निधारमा लेखिएका थिए ।
And I saw, and lo! the Lamb, standing upon the mount Zion, —and, with him, a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and his Father’s name written upon their foreheads.
2 मैले धेरै पानीको आवाजजस्तै र ठुलो गर्जनको आवाजजस्तो स्वर्गबाट आएको एउटा सोर सुनेँ । मैले सुनेको त्यो आवाज वीणा बजाउनेहरूले आफ्ना वीणाहरू बजाइरहेका सोरजस्तो थियो ।
And I heard a sound out of heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of, loud thunders; and, the sound which I heard, was as of harp-singers harping with their harps,
3 धर्म-गुरुहरू, चार जीवित प्राणीहरू र सिंहासनका अगाडि तिनीहरूले एउटा नयाँ गीत गाए । पृथ्वीबाट ल्याइएका १,४४, ००० बाहेक अरू कसैले पनि त्यो गीत सिक्न सक्दैनथ्यो ।
And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And, no one, was able to learn the song, save the hundred and forty-four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth.
4 यिनीहरू जसले आफैलाई स्त्रीहरूसित लसपस गरेका थिएनन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले अनैतिकतादेखि आफूलाई शुद्ध राखेका थिए । यी तिनीहरू हुन्, जो थुमा जहाँ-जहाँ जानुहुन्छ तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई त्यता-त्यता पछ्याउँछन् । परमेश्वर र थुमाका निम्ति यिनीहरू पहिलो फलको रूपमा मानव-जातिबाट ल्याइएकाहरू हुन् ।
These, are they, who with women, were not defiled, for they are, virgin. These, are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he is going. These, were redeemed from mankind, as a firstfruit unto God and the Lamb;
5 तिनीहरूका मुखमा कुनै झुट पाइएन; तिनीहरू दोषरहित थिए ।
and, in their mouth, was found no falsehood, —faultless, they are.
6 तब मैले अर्को स्वर्गदूतलाई आकाशको बिचमा उडिरहेको देखेँ; पृथ्वीमा बस्ने हरेक जाति, कुल, भाषा, र मानिसलाई सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्न तिनीसँग अनन्त सन्देश थियो । (aiōnios )
And I saw another messenger, flying in mid-heaven, having an age-abiding glad-message to announce unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, even unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people, (aiōnios )
7 तिनले चर्को सोरसँग कराएर भने, “परमेश्वरसँग डराओ र उहाँलाई महिमा देऊ । किनकि उहाँको इन्साफको घडी आएको छ । उहाँलाई आराधना गर, जसले स्वर्ग, पृथ्वी, समुद्र र पानीका मुलहरू बनाउनुभयो ।”
saying with a loud voice, —Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judging is come; and do homage unto him that made heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.
8 अर्को दोस्रो स्वर्गदूतले यसो भन्दै पछ्याए, “पतन, महान् बेबिलोनको पतन भएको छ, जसले त्यसको अनैतिक कुवासनाको मद्य सबै जातिलाई पिउन लगाई ।”
And, another, a second [messenger] followed, saying—Fallen! fallen! is Babylon the great, who, of the wine of the wrath of her lewdness, hath caused all the nations to drink.
9 अनि अर्को तेस्रो स्वर्गदूतले चर्को सोरमा यसो भन्दै तिनीहरूलाई पछ्याए, “यदि कसैले त्यस पशु र उसको मूर्तिलाई पुजा गर्दछ, र निधारमा वा उसको हातमा छाप लगाँउछ भने,
And, another, a third messenger, followed them, saying with a loud voice—If anyone doeth homage unto the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark upon his forehead, or upon his hand,
10 उसले पनि परमेश्वरको क्रोधबाट केही मद्य पिउनेछ, जुन उहाँको क्रोधको कचौरामा खन्याइएको छ । जसले यो पिउँछ त्यसलाई परमेश्वरका पवित्र स्वर्गदूतहरू र थुमाको अगाडि आगो र गन्धकमा यातना दिइनेछ ।
he also, shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared, unmixed, in the cup of his anger; —and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, before holy messengers and before the Lamb;
11 तिनीहरूको वेदनाबाट धुवाँ सदासर्वदाका निम्त माथितिर जान्छ; पशु र त्यसको मूर्ति पूज्नेहरू र त्यसको नाउँको छाप लिनेहरूले दिन वा रातमा कहिल्यै विश्राम पाउनेछैनन् । (aiōn )
And, the smoke of their torment, unto ages of ages, ascendeth; And they have no rest day or night, who do homage unto the beast and his image, or if anyone receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn )
12 पवित्रहरूको धैर्यका निम्ति यहाँ एउटा बोलावट छ, जसले परमेश्वरको आज्ञा पालन गर्दछन् र येशूमा विश्वास राख्छन् ।”
Here, is, the endurance of the saints, —they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 मैले स्वर्गबाट यसो भनेको एउटा सोर सुनेँ, “यो लेखः प्रभुमा मर्नेहरू धन्यका हुन् ।” “हो,” आत्मा भन्नुहुन्छ, “ताकि तिनीहरूले आफ्नो परिश्रमबाट विश्राम पाउन सकून्, किनकि तिनीहरूका कामले तिनीहरूलाई पछ्याउनेछन् ।”
And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying—Write! Happy, the dead who, in the Lord, do die, from henceforth. Yea! (saith the Spirit) that they may rest from their toils, for, their works, do follow with them.
14 मैले हेरेँ र त्यहाँ एउटा सेतो बादल थियो, बादलमाथि बस्नुभएको एक जना मानिसका पुत्रजस्तैलाई देखेँ । उहाँको शिरमा एउटा सुनको मुकुट र उहाँको हातमा धारिलो हँसिया थियो ।
And I saw, and lo! a white cloud, and, upon the cloud, one sitting like unto a son of man, having, upon his head, a crown of gold, and, in his hand, a sharp sickle.
15 त्यसपछि अर्को स्वर्गदूत मन्दिरबाट बाहिर आए र बादलमाथि बस्नुहुनेलाई चर्के सोरसँग बोलाएः “तपाईंको हँसिया लिनुहोस् र कटनी गर्न सुरु गर्नुहोस् । किनभने कटनीको समय आएको छ, किनकि पृथ्वीको बाली पाकिसकेको छ ।”
And, another messenger, came forth out of the sanctuary, crying out with a loud voice, unto him that was sitting upon the cloud—Thrust in thy sickle, and reap; because the hour to reap is come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 तब बादलमाथि बस्नुहुनेले आफ्नो हँसिया पृथ्वीमाथि चलाउनुभयो, र पृथ्वीमा कटनी भयो ।
And he that was sitting upon the cloud, thrust in, his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 स्वर्गमा भएको मन्दिरबाट अर्को स्वर्गदूत बाहिर आए; तिनीसँग पनि एउटा धारिलो हँसिया थियो ।
And, another messenger, came forth out of the sanctuary that is in heaven, —he also, having a sharp sickle.
18 अझ अर्को स्वर्गदूत धूप वेदीबाट आए, जोसँग आगोमाथि अधिकार थियो । जोसित धारिलो हँसिया थियो, उनलाई उहाँले चर्को सोरले बोलाउनुभयो, “तिम्रो धारिलो हँसिया चलाऊ र पृथ्वीका अङ्गुरहरूको झुप्पालाई जम्मा गर, किनभने तिनीहरूका अङ्गुरहरू पाकिसकेका छन् ।”
And, another messenger, [came forth] out of the altar, who hath authority over the fire, —and called out with a loud voice, unto him who had the sharp sickle, saying—Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; because the grapes thereof are fully ripe.
19 ती स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो हँसिया पृथ्वीमा चलाए र पृथ्वीका अङ्गुरको फसल जम्मा गरे । परमेश्वरको क्रोधको ठुलो दाख कोलभित्र फालिदिए ।
And the messenger, thrust in, his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great wine-press of the wrath of God.
20 सहर बाहिरबाट दाखको कोल भरियो र घोडाको लगामको उच्चाइसम्म रगत पोखियो, किनकि यो १,६०० किलोमिटरसम्म फैलिएको थियो ।
And the wine-press was trodden outside the city, and there came forth blood out of the wine-press, even unto the bits of the horses, at a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs.
