Pahayag 14
1 At tumingin ako, at narito, ang Cordero ay nakatayo sa bundok ng Sion, at ang kasama niya'y isang daan at apat na pu't apat na libong may pangalan niya, at pangalan ng kaniyang Ama, na nasusulat sa kanikaniyang noo.
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 At narinig ko ang isang tinig na mula sa langit, na gaya ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig, at gaya ng ugong ng malakas na kulog: at ang tinig na aking narinig ay gaya ng sa mga manunugtog ng alpa na tumutugtog ng kanilang mga alpa:
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 At sila'y nangagaawitan na wari'y isang bagong awit sa harapan ng luklukan, at sa harap ng apat na nilalang na buhay at ng matatanda: at sinoman ay hindi maaaring matuto ng awit kundi ang isang daan at apat na pu't apat na libo lamang, sa makatuwid ay siyang mga binili mula sa lupa.
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 Ang mga ito'y ang hindi nangahawa sa mga babae; sapagka't sila'y mga malilinis. At ang mga ito'y ang nagsisisunod sa Cordero saan man siya pumaroon. Ang mga ito'y ang binili sa gitna ng mga tao, na maging mga pangunahing bunga sa Dios at sa Cordero.
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 At sa kanikaniyang bibig ay walang nasumpungang kasinungalingan: sila'y mga walang dungis.
[Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
6 At nakita ko ang ibang anghel na lumilipad sa gitna ng langit, na may mabuting balita na walang hanggan upang ibalita sa mga nananahan sa lupa, at sa bawa't bansa at angkan at wika at bayan; (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 At sinasabi niya ng malakas na tinig, Matakot kayo sa Dios, at magbigay kaluwalhatian sa kaniya; sapagka't dumating ang panahon ng kaniyang paghatol: at magsisamba kayo sa gumawa ng langit at ng lupa at ng dagat at ng mga bukal ng tubig.
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 At ang iba, ang pangalawang anghel, ay sumunod na nagsasabi, Naguho, naguho ang dakilang Babilonia, na siyang nagpainom sa lahat na bansa ng alak ng kagalitan ng kaniyang pakikiapid.
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 At ang ibang anghel, ang pangatlo, ay sumunod sa kanila, na nagsasabi ng malakas na tinig, Kung ang sinoman ay sumasamba sa hayop at sa kaniyang larawan, at tumatanggap ng tanda sa kaniyang noo, o sa kaniyang kamay,
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 Ay iinom din naman siya ng alak ng kagalitan ng Dios, na nahahandang walang halo sa inuman ng kaniyang kagalitan; at siya'y pahihirapan ng apoy at asupre sa harapan ng mga banal na anghel, at sa harapan ng Cordero:
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 At ang usok ng hirap nila ay napaiilanglang magpakailan kailan man; at sila'y walang kapahingahan araw at gabi, silang mga nagsisisamba sa hayop at sa kaniyang larawan, at sinomang tumatanggap ng tanda ng kaniyang pangalan. (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 Narito ang pagtitiyaga ng mga banal, ng mga nagsisitupad ng mga utos ng Dios, at ng pananampalataya kay Jesus.
So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
13 At narinig ko ang isang tinig na mula sa langit na nagsasabi, Isulat mo, Mapapalad ang mga patay na nangamamatay sa Panginoon mula ngayon: oo, sinasabi ng Espiritu, upang sila'y mangagpahinga sa kanilang mga gawa; sapagka't ang kanilang mga gawa ay sumusunod sa kanila.
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 At nakita ko, at narito, ang isang alapaap na maputi; at nakita ko na nakaupo sa alapaap ang isang katulad ng isang anak ng tao, na sa kaniyang ulo'y may isang putong na ginto, at sa kaniyang kamay ay may isang panggapas na matalas.
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 At lumabas ang ibang anghel sa templo, na sumisigaw ng malakas na tinig doon sa nakaupo sa alapaap, Ihulog mo ang iyong panggapas, at gumapas ka; sapagka't dumating ang oras ng paggapas, sapagka't ang aanihin sa lupa ay hinog na.
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 At inihagis ng nakaupo sa alapaap ang kaniyang panggapas sa lupa; at ang lupa ay nagapasan.
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 At lumabas ang ibang anghel sa templong nasa langit, na may panggapas din namang matalas.
Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
18 At ang ibang anghel ay lumabas sa dambana, na siyang may kapangyarihan sa apoy, at tinawagan ng malakas na tinig yaong may panggapas na matalas, na sinasabi, Ihulog mo ang iyong panggapas na matalas, at putihin mo ang mga buwig sa ubasan sa lupa; sapagka't ang kaniyang mga ubas ay mga hinog na.
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 At inihagis ng anghel ang kaniyang panggapas sa lupa, at pinuti ang mga ubas sa lupa, at inihagis sa pisaan ng ubas, sa malaking pisaan ng kagalitan ng Dios.
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 At nayurakan ang pisaan ng ubas sa labas ng bayan, at lumabas sa pisaan ng ubas ang dugo, na umapaw hanggang sa mga preno ng mga kabayo, sa lawak na isang libo at anim na raang estadio.
[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).
