After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth , holding back - vvv (its) four winds so that no wind would blow on - land (or) - - sea (or) on any tree.
And I saw another angel ascending from (the) east ... , with (the) seal of (the) living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given (power) - to harm the land and the sea :
- “ (Do) not harm the land (or) - sea (or) - trees until we have sealed - - the foreheads of the servants of our - God. ”
And I heard the number of those who were sealed , 144,000 {} ... ... ... - from all the tribes vvv of Israel :
From (the) tribe of Judah 12,000 {} ... were sealed , from (the) tribe of Reuben 12,000 {} ... , from (the) tribe of Gad 12,000 {} ... ,
from (the) tribe of Asher 12,000 {} ... , from (the) tribe of Naphtali 12,000 {} ... , from (the) tribe of Manasseh 12,000 {} ... ,
from (the) tribe of Simeon 12,000 {} ... , from (the) tribe of Levi 12,000 {} ... , from (the) tribe of Issachar 12,000 {} ... ,
from (the) tribe of Zebulun 12,000 {} ... , from (the) tribe of Joseph 12,000 {} ... , (and) from (the) tribe of Benjamin 12,000 {} ... -.
After this I looked and saw a multitude too large ... ... vvv to count - , from every nation and tribe and people and tongue , standing before the throne and before the Lamb. (They were) wearing white robes and (holding) palm branches in their - hands.
And they cried out vvv in a loud voice - : “ - Salvation to our God , who sits on the throne , and to the Lamb ! ”
And all the angels stood around the throne and (around) the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown ... ... ... ... before the throne and worshiped - God ,
saying , “ Amen ! - Blessing and - glory and - wisdom and - thanks and - honor and - power and - strength (be) to our God vvv vvv forever (and) ever ! Amen. ”
Then one of the elders addressed me : “ These - in - - white robes , ” he asked , “ who are they , and where have they come {from} ? ”
“ Sir ... , ” - I answered - , “ you know. ” (So) he replied - , “ These are the ones who have come out of the - great tribulation ; - they have washed their - robes and vvv made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
For this reason ... , they are before the throne - of God and serve Him day and night in His - temple ; and the (One) seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.
‘ Never again will they hunger , (and never) ... will they thirst ; nor {will} the sun - beat down upon them , nor any scorching heat. ’
For the Lamb - in (the) center of the throne will be their shepherd .... ‘ - He will lead them to springs of living water , ’ and - ‘ God will wipe away every tear from their - eyes.’ ”
