1 D epois disto vi quatro anjos em pé nos quatro cantos da terra, retendo os quatro ventos da terra, para que nenhum vento soprasse sobre a terra, nem sobre o mar, nem contra árvore alguma.

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

2 E vi outro anjo subir do lado do sol nascente, tendo o selo do Deus vivo; e clamou com grande voz aos quatro anjos, quem fora dado que danificassem a terra e o mar,

And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,

3 d izendo: Não danifiques a terra, nem o mar, nem as árvores, até que selemos na sua fronte os servos do nosso Deus.

saying, “ Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads.” The 144, 000

4 E ouvi o número dos que foram assinalados com o selo, cento e quarenta e quatro mil de todas as tribos dos filhos de Israel:

And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

5 d a tribo de Judá havia doze mil assinalados; da tribo de Rúben, doze mil; da tribo de Gade, 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 d a tribo de Aser, doze mil; da tribo de Naftali, doze mil; da tribo de Manassés, doze mil;

from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

7 d a tribo de Simeão, doze mil; da tribo de Levi, doze mil; da tribo de Issacar, doze mil;

from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

8 d a tribo de Zabulom, doze mil; da tribo de José, doze mil; da tribo de Benjamim, doze mil assinalados.

from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed. A Multitude from the Tribulation

9 D epois destas coisas olhei, e eis uma grande multidão, que ninguém podia contar, de todas as nações, tribos, povos e línguas, que estavam em pé diante do trono e em presença do Cordeiro, trajando compridas vestes brancas, e com palmas nas mãos;

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;

10 e clamavam com grande voz: Salvação ao nosso Deus, que está assentado sobre o trono, e ao Cordeiro.

and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, “ Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

11 E todos os anjos estavam em pé ao redor do trono e dos anciãos e dos quatro seres viventes, e prostraram-se diante do trono sobre seus rostos, e adoraram a Deus,

And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

12 d izendo: Amém. Louvor, e glória, e sabedoria, e ações de graças, e honra, e poder, e força ao nosso Deus, pelos séculos dos séculos. Amém.

saying, “ Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”

13 E um dos anciãos me perguntou: Estes que trajam as compridas vestes brancas, quem são eles e donde vieram?

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?”

14 R espondi-lhe: Meu Senhor, tu sabes. Disse-me ele: Estes são os que vêm da grande tribulação, e levaram as suas vestes e as branquearam no sangue do Cordeiro.

I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 P or isso estão diante do trono de Deus, e o servem de dia e de noite no seu santuário; e aquele que está assentado sobre o trono estenderá o seu tabernáculo sobre eles.

For this reason, they are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.

16 N unca mais terão fome, nunca mais terão sede; nem cairá sobre eles o sol, nem calor algum;

They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat;

17 p orque o Cordeiro que está no meio, diante do trono, os apascentará e os conduzirá

for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
