< Pahayag 14 >

1 Tumingin ako at nakita ang Kordero na nakatayo sa aking harapan sa Bundok Sion. Kasama niya ang 144, 000 siyang may pangalan at pangalan ng kaniyang Ama na naisulat sa kanilang mga 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 Narinig ko ang tinig mula sa langit na tila isang dagundong ng maraming tubig at malakas na kulog. Ang tunog na narinig ko ay tulad din ng mga manunugtog 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 Umawit sila ng isang bagong awit sa harapan ng trono at sa harap ng apat na buhay na nilalang at sa mga nakatatanda. Walang sinuman ang nakakaalam ng awit maliban sa 144, 000 na tinubos mula sa mundo.
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 Sila ang mga hindi dinungisan ang kanilang mga sarili sa mga babae, dahil pinanatili nila ang kanilang sarili sa pagdalisay ng sekswal. Sila ang mga sumusunod sa Kordero saan man siya pumupunta. Sila ang tinubos mula sa sangkatauhan bilang mga unang bunga sa Diyos at sa Kordero.
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 Walang kasinungalingan ang natagpuan sa kanilang mga bibig; sila ay walang kapintasan.
[Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
6 Nakita ko ang isa pang anghel na lumilipad sa alapaap, na may walang hanggang mensahe ng magandang balita para ipahayag sa mga naninirahan sa mundo — sa bawat bansa, tribo, wika, at mga tao. (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 Tumawag siya nang may malakas na tinig, “Matakot sa Diyos at bigyan siya ng kaluwalhatian. Dahil sa oras ng kaniyang paghuhukom ay dumating na. Sambahin siya, siya na lumikha ng langit, ng lupa, ng dagat, at ng mga bukal ng mga 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 Isa pang anghel - ang pangalawang anghel - ay sumunod sa sinasabing “Bumagsak, bumagsak ang tanyag na Babylonia, na ginawa ang lahat ng bansa na uminom ng alak sa kaniyang sekswal na imoralidad, ang alak na nagdala ng labis na poot sa kaniya.”
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 Isa pang anghel — ang pangatlong anghel — ay sumunod sa kanila, sinasabi ang malakas na tinig, “Kung sinuman ang sumasamba sa halimaw at sa kaniyang imahe, 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 siya rin ay iinom ng alak ng poot ng Diyos, ang alak na inihanda at ibinuhos nang walang halo sa kopa ng kaniyang galit. Ang taong umiinom nito ay maghihirap sa apoy at asupre sa harap ng mga banal na anghel at sa harap ng Kordero.
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 Ang usok mula sa kanilang paghihirap ay aangat magpakailan pa man, at wala silang kapahingahan sa umaga o gabi — silang mga sumasamba sa halimaw at sa kaniyang imahe, at lahat ng tumatanggap ng tanda sa 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 Ito ay isang panawagan para sa matiyagang pagtitis ng mga mananampalataya, silang mga sumusunod sa mga kautusan ng Diyos at nananampalataya 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 Narinig ko ang isang tinig mula sa langit na sinabing, “Isulat ito: Pinagpala ang mga patay na namatay sa Panginoon.” “Oo,” sabi ng Espiritu, “kaya sila ay makapagpahinga sa kanilang mga gawain, dahil sa kanilang mga gawa ay susunod sila.”
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 Tumingin ako at nakita ko doon ang isang puting ulap, at nakaupo sa ulap ang katulad ng isang Anak ng Tao. Mayroon siyang gintong korona sa kaniyang ulo at matalim na karit sa kaniyang kamay.
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 Pagkatapos isa pang anghel ang lumabas sa templo at tumawag ng malakas sa siyang nakaupo sa ulap: “Kunin mo ang iyong karit at simulan ang pag-ani. Dahil dumating na ang panahon ng anihan, dahil ang mga 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 Pagkatapos ibinitin ng siyang nakaupo sa ulap ang kaniyang karit sa lupa, at ang lupa ay inani.
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 Isa pang anghel na lumabas mula sa templo ng kalangitan; mayroon din siyang matalim na karit.
Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
18 May isa pang anghel ang lumabas mula sa altar, isang anghel na may kapangyarihan na apoy. Sumigaw siya nang malakas na tinig sa anghel na may matalim na karit, “Dalhin mo ang iyong matalim na karit at tipunin ang tumpok ng ubas mula sa mga puno ng ubas sa lupa, dahil ang kanilang mga ubas ay hinog na ngayon.
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 Ibinitin ng anghel ang kaniyang karit sa lupa at tinipon ang ubas na inani sa lupa at itinapon ito sa malaking lalagyan ng alak ng poot ng Diyos.
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 Pinag-aapakan sa labas ng lungsod ang pigaan ng ubas at umagos ang gudo mula dito na umabot sa taas ng preno ng kabayo, para sa 1, 600 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).
