Apocalipse 14
1 E eu olhei, e eis que o Cordeiro estava de pé sobre o monte Sião, e com ele cento e quarenta e quatro mil, tendo o nome dele e do Pai dele escrito em suas testas.
But then I saw the [one who is like a] lamb standing on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem]. With him were 144,000 [people]. His name and his Father’s name had been written {[He] had written his name and his Father’s name} on their foreheads.
2 E eu ouvi uma voz do céu como voz de muitas águas, e como voz de um grande trovão; e ouvi uma voz de tocadores de harpas, que tocavam com suas harpas;
I heard a sound from heaven, which was as [loud] [SIM] as the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide [river of rushing] water) and which was [also as loud as] [SIM] mighty thunder. The sound that I heard was like [the sound that] people make when they are playing their harps.
3 E cantavam um cântico novo diante do trono, e diante dos quatro animais, e dos anciãos; e ninguém podia aprender aquele cântico, a não ser os cento e quarenta e quatro mil que tinham sido comprados da terra.
The 144,000 people were singing a new song [while they stood] in front of the throne, in front of the four living [creatures], and in front of the elders. Only the 144,000 [people], the ones who have been {whom [the one who is like a lamb] has} redeemed/bought from among the people on the earth, could learn that song. No one else could learn the song [that they sang].
4 Estes são os que não se contaminaram com mulheres, porque são virgens; estes são os que seguem ao Cordeiro onde quer que ele vá; estes foram comprados dentre os homens, [sendo] primícias para Deus e para o Cordeiro.
Those 144,000 are the people who are [spiritually] pure, [like] virgins [are morally pure]. They have not (defiled themselves/made themselves impure) [MET] [by worshipping any false god]. They are the ones who accompany Jesus, the [one who is like a] lamb, wherever he goes. They [represent all those whom he has] redeemed/bought for God from among the people [of earth, in order that he might offer] them to God and to [himself].
5 E não foi encontrada mentira na boca deles, porque eles são irrepreensíveis.
[Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
6 E eu vi outro anjo voando tendo o evangelho eterno, para proclamá-lo aos que habitam sobre a terra, e a toda nação, tribo, língua e povo; (aiōnios g166)
I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
7 dizendo em alta voz: “Temei a Deus, e dai glória a ele; porque chegou a hora do seu julgamento; e adorai àquele que fez o céu, a terra, o mar e as fontes de águas.”
He said in a loud voice, “Revere God and honor him, because it is now time for him to judge [people]! Worship [God, because he is] the one who created the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the springs of water.”
8 E seguiu outro anjo, dizendo: “Ela caiu! Caiu a Babilônia, a grande cidade, porque ela deu de beber a todas as nações do vinho da ira de seu pecado sexual.”
A second angel came after him saying, “The very evil [cities] (OR, [city]) [represented by] Babylon are completely destroyed! [God] has punished [their people because] they [have persuaded people of] all the nations [to forsake God, just like a prostitute] [MET] persuades [men] to drink [strong] wine and [as a result] commit sexual immorality.”
9 E o terceiro anjo os seguiu, dizendo em alta voz: “Se alguém adora a besta e a sua imagem, e recebe a marca [dela] sobre sua testa, ou sobre sua mão,
A third angel came next, saying in a loud voice, “If people worship the beast and its image and [allow] its mark to be put {its [agent to] put its mark} on their foreheads or on their hands,
10 também o tal beberá do vinho da ira de Deus, que foi posto sem mistura no cálice de sua ira; e será atormentado com fogo e enxofre, diante dos santos anjos e diante do Cordeiro.
God will be angry with them and punish them very severely [MET]. They will be tormented {[God] will torment them} in burning sulfur in the presence of his holy angels and in the presence of the [one who is like a] lamb.
11 E a fumaça do tormento deles sobe para todo o sempre; e não têm descanso de dia nem de noite os que adoram a besta e a sua imagem, e se alguém recebe a marca de seu nome. (aiōn g165)
The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
12 Aqui está a paciência dos santos; aqui [estão] os que guardam os mandamentos de Deus e a fé em Jesus.”
So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
13 E eu ouvi uma voz do céu, que me dizia: Escreve: “Benditos são os mortos que morrem no Senhor a partir de agora; sim, diz o Espírito, para que se descansem de seus trabalhos; e suas obras os seguem.”
I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write [this: God will] now [abundantly] bless the people who have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus] for the rest of [their lives].” [God’s] Spirit says, “Yes, [after they die], they will no longer have to work hard. Instead, they will rest, and [the record of the good deeds] [MTY] that they have done will go with them (OR, [God] will [reward them] for the good deeds that they have done).”
14 E eu olhei, e eis uma nuvem branca, e um semelhante a um filho do homem, sentado sobre a nuvem; tendo sobre sua cabeça uma coroa de ouro, e em sua mão uma foice afiada.
Then I was surprised to see a white cloud, and on the cloud [someone] was sitting who looked like the one who came from heaven. He [was wearing] a golden crown on his head. In his hand [he held] a sharp sickle.
15 E outro anjo saiu do templo, clamando em alta voz ao que estava sentado sobre a nuvem: “Envia a tua foice, e ceifa; pois chegou a ti a hora de ceifar, porque a plantação da terra [já] está madura.”
Another angel came out of the temple [in heaven]. In a loud voice, [speaking figuratively about gathering people for God to judge them], he said to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “The time has come to reap [the grain on the earth], so with your sickle [reap] the [grain], because the grain on the earth is ripe.”
16 E aquele que está sentado sobre a nuvem lançou sua foice na terra, e a terra foi ceifada.
The one who was sitting on the cloud forcefully gathered together [all the people] on earth, [as] [MET] [a farmer] reaps grain with his sickle.
17 E outro anjo saiu do templo que está no céu, o qual também tinha uma foice afiada.
Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
18 E outro anjo, que tinha poder sobre o fogo, saiu do altar; e ele clamou em alta voz ao que tinha a foice afiada, dizendo: “Envia a tua foice afiada, e recolhe os cachos da vinha da terra; porque suas uvas [já] estão maduras.”
From the altar came another angel. He is the one who takes care of the fire [of the altar. Also speaking figuratively about gathering the wicked people for God to judge and punish them], he said in a loud voice to the angel who held the sharp sickle, “With your sharp sickle cut off the clusters of grapes in the vineyards on the earth! Then gather the clusters of grapes together, because its grapes are ripe!”
19 E o anjo lançou sua foice à terra, e recolheu [as uvas] da vinha da terra, e [as] lançou na prensa da grande ira de Deus.
So, [just like a man would] cut off with his sickle the clusters of grapes in his vineyard [MET], an angel forcefully [gathered the wicked people] on the earth. Then he threw them into the huge place where God will angrily punish them.
20 E a prensa foi pisada fora da cidade, e saiu sangue da prensa até os freios dos cavalos, por mil e seiscentos estádios.
[The wicked people] were trampled on {[God’s agent] trod on [the wicked people]} [in] the winepress outside the city. The blood that came out from the winepress flowed [in a stream so deep that it reached] to the bridles of the horses, [and extended] (180 miles/300 kilometers).
