1 A fter 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.

Depois disso vi quatro anjos em pé nos quatro cantos da terra, retendo os quatro ventos, para impedir que qualquer vento soprasse na terra, no mar ou em qualquer árvore.

2 A nd 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,

Então vi outro anjo subindo do Oriente, tendo o selo do Deus vivo. Ele bradou em alta voz aos quatro anjos a quem havia sido dado poder para danificar a terra e o mar:

3 s aying, “ 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

“Não danifiquem, nem a terra, nem o mar, nem as árvores, até que selemos as testas dos servos do nosso Deus”.

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

Então ouvi o número dos que foram selados: cento e quarenta e quatro mil, de todas as tribos de Israel.

5 f rom the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,

Da tribo de Judá foram selados doze mil, da tribo de Rúben, doze mil, da tribo de Gade, doze mil,

6 f rom the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

da tribo de Aser, doze mil, da tribo de Naftali, doze mil, da tribo de Manassés, doze mil,

7 f rom the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

da tribo de Simeão, doze mil, da tribo de Levi, doze mil, da tribo de Issacar, doze mil,

8 f rom 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

da tribo de Zebulom, doze mil, da tribo de José, doze mil, da tribo de Benjamim, doze mil. A Grande Multidão com Vestes Brancas

9 A fter 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;

Depois disso olhei, e diante de mim estava uma grande multidão que ninguém podia contar, de todas as nações, tribos, povos e línguas, em pé, diante do trono e do Cordeiro, com vestes brancas e segurando palmas.

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

E clamavam em alta voz: “A salvação pertence ao nosso Deus, que se assenta no trono, e ao Cordeiro”.

11 A nd 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,

Todos os anjos estavam em pé ao redor do trono, dos anciãos e dos quatro seres viventes. Eles se prostraram com o rosto em terra diante do trono e adoraram a Deus,

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

dizendo: “Amém! Louvor e glória, sabedoria, ação de graças, honra, poder e força sejam ao nosso Deus para todo o sempre. Amém!”

13 T hen 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?”

Então um dos anciãos me perguntou: “Quem são estes que estão vestidos de branco, e de onde vieram?”

14 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.

Respondi: Senhor, tu o sabes. E ele disse: “Estes são os que vieram da grande tribulação e lavaram as suas vestes e as alvejaram no sangue do Cordeiro.

15 F or 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.

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

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

Nunca mais terão fome, nunca mais terão sede. Não os afligirá o sol, nem qualquer calor abrasador,

17 f or 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.”

pois o Cordeiro que está no centro do trono será o seu Pastor; ele os guiará às fontes de água viva. E Deus enxugará dos seus olhos toda lágrima”.
