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

¹I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

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

²I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.

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

³They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

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

⁴These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

⁵በአፋቸውም ውሸት አልተገኘም፤ ነውር የለባቸውም።

⁵In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless. TR adds “before the throne of God”

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

⁶I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

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

⁷He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”

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

⁸Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”

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

⁹Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand,

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

¹⁰he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.

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

¹¹The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

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

¹²Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

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

¹³I heard the voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”

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

¹⁴I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, Daniel 7:13 having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

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

¹⁵Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!”

¹⁶በደመናውም ላይ የተቀመጠው ማጭዱን ወደ ምድር ጣለው ምድርም ታጨደች።

¹⁶He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

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

¹⁷Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.

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።

¹⁸Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!”

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

¹⁹The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

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

²⁰The winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia. 1600 stadia = 296 kilometers or 184 miles
