¹And I saw, and lo, a Lamb having stood upon the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousands, having the name of his Father written upon their foreheads;

¹አየሁም፥ እነሆም፥ በጉ በጽዮን ተራራ ቆሞ ነበር፥ ከእርሱም ጋር ስሙና የአባቱ ስም በግምባራቸው የተጻፈላቸው መቶ አርባ አራት ሺህ ነበሩ።

²and I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder, and a voice I heard of harpers harping with their harps,

²እንደ ብዙ ውኃም ድምፅና እንደ ታላቅ ነጐድጓድ ድምፅ ያለ ከሰማይ ድምፅን ሰማሁ፥ ደርዳሪዎችም በገና እንደሚደረድሩ ያለ ድምፅ ሰማሁ።

³and they sing, as it were, a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty-four thousands, who have been bought from the earth;

³በዙፋኑም ፊት በአራቱም እንስሶችና በሽማግሌዎቹ ፊት አዲስ ቅኔ ዘመሩ፤ ከምድርም ከተዋጁት ከመቶ አርባ አራት ሺህ በቀር ያን ቅኔ ሊማር ለማንም አልተቻለውም።

⁴these are they who with women were not defiled, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the Lamb whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men — a first-fruit to God and to the Lamb —

⁴ከሴቶች ጋር ያልረከሱ እነዚህ ናቸው፥ ድንግሎች ናቸውና። በጉ ወደሚሄድበት የሚከተሉት እነዚህ ናቸው። ለእግዚአብሔርና ለበጉ በኵራት እንዲሆኑ ከሰዎች የተዋጁ እነዚህ ናቸው።

⁵and in their mouth there was not found guile, for unblemished are they before the throne of God.

⁵በአፋቸውም ውሸት አልተገኘም፤ ነውር የለባቸውም።

⁶And I saw another messenger flying in mid-heaven, having good news age-during to proclaim to those dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,

⁶በምድርም ለሚኖሩ ለሕዝብም ለነገድም ለቋንቋም ለወገንም ሁሉ ይሰብክ ዘንድ የዘላለም ወንጌል ያለው ሌላ መልአክ ከሰማይ መካከል ሲበር አየሁ፤

⁷saying in a great voice, `Fear ye God, and give to Him glory, because come did the hour of His judgment, and bow ye before Him who did make the heaven, and the land, and sea, and fountains of waters.`

⁷በታላቅ ድምፅም። የፍርዱ ሰዓት ደርሶአልና እግዚአብሔርን ፍሩ ክብርንም ስጡት፤ ሰማይንና ምድርንም ባሕርንም የውኃንም ምንጮች ለሠራው ስገዱለት አለ።

⁸And another messenger did follow, saying, `Fall, fall, did Babylon, the great city, because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom she hath given to all nations to drink.`

⁸ሌላም ሁለተኛ መልአክ። አሕዛብን ሁሉ የዝሙትዋን ቍጣ ወይን ጠጅ ያጠጣች ታላቂቱ ባቢሎን ወደቀች፥ ወደቀች እያለ ተከተለው።

⁹And a third messenger did follow them, saying in a great voice, `If any one the beast doth bow before, and his image, and doth receive a mark upon his forehead, or upon his hand,

⁹ሦስተኛም መልአክ ተከተላቸው፥ በታላቅ ድምፅ እንዲህ እያለ። ለአውሬውና ለምስሉ የሚሰግድ በግምባሩም ወይም በእጁ ምልክቱን የሚቀበል ማንም ቢኖር፥

¹⁰he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, that hath been mingled unmixed in the cup of His anger, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy messengers, and before the Lamb,

¹⁰እርሱ ደግሞ በቍጣው ጽዋ ሳይቀላቅል ከተዘጋጀው ከእግዚአብሔር ቍጣ ወይን ጠጅ ይጠጣል፥ በቅዱሳንም መላእክትና በበጉ ፊት በእሳትና በዲን ይሳቀያል።

¹¹and the smoke of their torment doth go up to ages of ages; and they have no rest day and night, who are bowing before the beast and his image, also if any doth receive the mark of his name.

¹¹የሥቃያቸውም ጢስ ለዘላለም እስከ ዘላለም ድረስ ይወጣል፥ ለአውሬውና ለምስሉም የሚሰግዱ የስሙንም ምልክት የሚቀበል ሁሉ ቀንና ሌሊት ዕረፍት የላቸውም።

¹²Here is endurance of the saints: here [are] those keeping the commands of God, and the faith of Jesus.`

¹²የእግዚአብሔርን ትእዛዛት የሚጠብቁት ኢየሱስንም በማመን የሚጸኑት ቅዱሳን ትዕግሥታቸው በዚህ ነው።

¹³And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this time!` `Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their labours — and their works do follow them!`

¹³ከሰማይም። ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ በጌታ የሚሞቱ ሙታን ብፁዓን ናቸው። መንፈስ። አዎን፥ ከድካማቸው ያርፉ ዘንድ፥ ሥራቸውም ይከተላቸዋል ይላል ብለህ ጻፍ የሚል ድምፅ ሰማሁ።

¹⁴And I saw, and lo, a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] sitting like to a son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle;

¹⁴አየሁም፥ እነሆም ነጭ ደመና፥ በደመናውም ላይ የሰውን ልጅ የሚመስል ተቀምጦአል፥ በራሱም ላይ የወርቅ አክሊል በእጁም ስለታም ማጭድ ነበረው።

¹⁵and another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary crying in a great voice to him who is sitting upon the cloud, `Send forth thy sickle and reap, because come to thee hath the hour of reaping, because ripe hath been the harvest of the earth;`

¹⁵ሌላ መልአክም ከመቅደሱ ወጥቶ በደመናው ላይ ለተቀመጠው። የማጨድ ሰዓት ስለ ደረሰ ማጭድህን ስደድና እጨድ፥ የምድሪቱ መከር ጠውልጓልና ብሎ በታላቅ ድምፅ ጮኸ።

¹⁶and he who is sitting upon the cloud did put forth his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped.

¹⁶በደመናውም ላይ የተቀመጠው ማጭዱን ወደ ምድር ጣለው ምድርም ታጨደች።

¹⁷And another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary that [is] in the heaven, having — he also — a sharp sickle,

¹⁷ሌላ መልአክም በሰማይ ካለው መቅደስ ወጣ፥ እርሱም ደግሞ ስለታም ማጭድ ነበረው።

¹⁸and another messenger did come forth out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he called with a great cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, `Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because come to perfection have her grapes;`

¹⁸በእሳትም ላይ ሥልጣን ያለው ሌላ መልአክ ከመሠዊያው ወጥቶ ስለታም ማጭድ ያለውን። ዘለላዎቹ ፈጽመው በስለዋልና ስለታሙን ማጭድህን ስደድና በምድር ያለውን የወይን ዛፍ ዘለላዎች ቍረጥ ብሎ በታላቅ ድምፅ ጠራ።

¹⁹and the messenger did put forth his sickle to the earth, and did gather the vine of the earth, and did cast [it] to the great wine-press of the wrath of God;

¹⁹መልአኩም ማጭዱን ወደ ምድር ጣለው፥ በምድርም ካለው ከወይን ዛፍ ቈርጦ ወደ ታላቁ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ቍጣ መጥመቂያ ጣለ።

²⁰and trodden was the wine-press outside of the city, and blood did come forth out of the wine-press — unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand, six hundred furlongs.

²⁰የወይኑም መጥመቂያ ከከተማ ውጭ ተረገጠ፥ እስከ ፈረሶች ልጓምም የሚደርስ ደም ርቀቱ ሺህ ስድስት መቶ ምዕራፍ ሆኖ ከመጥመቂያው ወጣ።
