¹ከዚህም በኋላ በአራቱ በምድር ማዕዘን ቆመው አራት መላእክት አየሁ፥ እነርሱም ነፋስ በምድር ቢሆን ወይም በባሕር ወይም በማንም ዛፍ እንዳይነፍስ አራቱን የምድር ነፋሳት ያዙ።

¹After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

²የሕያው አምላክ ማኅተም ያለውም ሌላ መልአክ ከፀሐይ መውጫ ሲወጣ አየሁ፥ ምድርንና ባሕርንም ሊጐዱ ለተሰጣቸው ለአራቱ መላእክት በታላቅ ድምፅ እየጮኸ።

²I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,

³የአምላካችንን ባሪያዎች ግምባራቸውን እስክናትማቸው ድረስ ምድርን ቢሆን ወይም ባሕርን ወይም ዛፎችን አትጕዱ አላቸው።

³saying, “Don’t harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”

⁴የታተሙትንም ቍጥር ሰማሁ፤ ከእስራኤል ልጆች ነገድ ሁሉ የታተሙት መቶ አርባ አራት ሺህ ነበሩ።

⁴I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

⁵ከይሁዳ ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ ታተሙ፥ ከሮቤል ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥ ከጋድ ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥

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

⁶ከአሴር ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥ ከንፍታሌም ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥

⁶of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

⁷ከምናሴ ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥ ከስምዖን ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥ ከሌዊ ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥ ከይሳኮር ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥

⁷of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

⁸ከዛብሎን ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥ ከዮሴፍ ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ፥ ከብንያም ነገድ አሥራ ሁለት ሺህ ታተሙ።

⁸of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

⁹ከዚህ በኋላ አየሁ፥ እነሆም፥ አንድ እንኳ ሊቆጥራቸው የማይችል ከሕዝብና ከነገድ ከወገንም ከቋንቋም ሁሉ እጅግ ብዙ ሰዎች ነበሩ፤ ነጭ ልብስም ለብሰው የዘንባባንም ዝንጣፊዎች በእጆቻቸው ይዘው በዙፋኑና በበጉ ፊት ቆሙ፤

⁹After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

¹⁰በታላቅም ድምፅ እየጮሁ። በዙፋኑ ላይ ለተቀመጠው ለአምላካችንና ለበጉ ማዳን ነው አሉ።

¹⁰They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

¹¹መላእክቱም ሁሉ በዙፋኑና በሽማግሌዎቹ በአራቱም እንስሶቹ ዙሪያ ቆመው ነበር፤ በዙፋኑም ፊት በግምባራቸው ተደፉ፥ ለእግዚአብሔርም እየሰገዱ።

¹¹All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God,

¹²አሜን፥ በረከትና ክብር ጥበብም ምስጋናም ውዳሴም ኃይልም ብርታትም ከዘላለም እስከ ዘላለም ድረስ ለአምላካችን ይሁን፤ አሜን አሉ።

¹²saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

¹³ከሽማግሌዎቹም አንዱ ተመልሶ። እነዚህ ነጩን ልብስ የለበሱ እነማን ናቸው? ከወዴትስ መጡ? አለኝ።

¹³One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?”

¹⁴እኔም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተ ታውቃለህ አልሁት። አለኝም። እነዚህ ከታላቁ መከራ የመጡ ናቸው፥ ልብሳቸውንም አጥበው በበጉ ደም አነጹ።

¹⁴I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

¹⁵ስለዚህ በእግዚአብሔር ዙፋን ፊት አሉ፥ ሌሊትና ቀንም በመቅደሱ ያመልኩታል፥ በዙፋኑም ላይ የተቀመጠው በእነርሱ ላይ ያድርባቸዋል።

¹⁵Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.

¹⁶ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ አይራቡም፥ ከእንግዲህም ወዲህ አይጠሙም፥ ፀሐይም ትኵሳትም ሁሉ ከቶ አይወርድባቸውም፤

¹⁶They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;

¹⁷በዙፋኑ መካከል ያለው በጉ እረኛቸው ይሆናልና፥ ወደ ሕይወትም ውኃ ምንጭ ይመራቸዋልና፤ እግዚአብሔርም እንባዎችን ሁሉ ከዓይናቸው ያብሳል።

¹⁷for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
