Apocalipse 7
1 Depois disso, vi quatro anjos de pé nos quatro cantos da terra, segurando os quatro ventos da terra, para que nenhum vento soprasse sobre a terra, ou sobre o mar, ou sobre qualquer árvore.
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 Eu vi outro anjo subir do nascer do sol, tendo o selo do Deus vivo. Ele chorou com voz alta aos quatro anjos a quem foi dado para prejudicar a terra e o mar,
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 dizendo: “Não prejudique a terra, o mar ou as árvores, até que tenhamos selado os escravos de nosso Deus em suas testas”!
‘Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.’
4 Ouvi o número daqueles que foram selados, cento e quarenta e quatro mil, selados de todas as tribos dos filhos de Israel:
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 da tribo de Judá, doze mil foram selados, da tribo de Reuben doze mil, da tribo de Gad doze mil,
From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 da tribo de Asher doze mil, da tribo de Naftali, doze mil, da tribo de Manasseh, doze mil,
from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Napthali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 da tribo de Simeão doze mil, da tribo de Levi doze mil, da tribo de Issachar doze mil,
from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 da tribo de Zebulun doze mil, da tribo de José doze mil, e da tribo de Benjamin, doze mil foram selados.
from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 Depois destas coisas eu olhei, e eis uma grande multidão que nenhum homem podia contar, de todas as nações e de todas as tribos, povos e línguas, de pé diante do trono e diante do Cordeiro, vestido com vestes brancas, com ramos de palmeira nas mãos.
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 Choraram com voz alta, dizendo: “Salvação seja ao nosso Deus, que está sentado no trono, e ao Cordeiro!
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 Todos os anjos estavam de pé ao redor do trono, os anciãos e os quatro seres vivos; e eles caíram de cara diante de seu trono e adoraram a Deus,
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 dizendo: “Amém! Bênção, glória, sabedoria, ação de graças, honra, poder e poder, sejam para o nosso Deus para todo o sempre! Amém”. (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 Um dos anciãos respondeu, dizendo-me: “Estes que estão vestidos com as vestes brancas, quem são eles, e de onde vieram?
Then one of the Councillors turned to me and said ‘Who are these who are robed in white? and whence did they come?’
14 Eu lhe disse: “Meu senhor, você sabe”. Ele me disse: “Estes são aqueles que saíram do grande sofrimento. Eles lavaram suas vestes e as tornaram brancas no sangue do Cordeiro.
‘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 Por isso estão diante do trono de Deus, e o servem dia e noite em seu templo. Aquele que se senta no trono espalhará seu tabernáculo sobre eles.
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 Eles nunca mais terão fome ou sede. O sol não baterá neles, nem qualquer calor;
Never again shall they be hungry, never again shall they be thirsty, nor shall the sun smite upon them, nor any scorching heat;
17 para o Cordeiro que está no meio do trono os pastoreia e os conduz a nascentes de águas que dão vida. E Deus limpará de seus olhos toda lágrima”.
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.’
