Apocalipse, 7

1. Depois disso, vi quatro Anjos que se conservavam em pé nos quatro cantos da terra, detendo os quatro ventos da terra, para que nenhum vento soprasse sobre a terra, sobre o mar ou sobre árvore alguma.*

1. And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2. Vi ainda outro anjo subir do Oriente; trazia o selo de Deus vivo, e pôs-se a clamar com voz retumbante aos quatro Anjos, aos quais fora dado danificar a terra e o mar, dizendo:

2. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3. “Não danifiqueis a terra, nem o mar, nem as árvores, até que tenhamos assinalado os servos de nosso Deus em suas frontes”.*

3. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4. Ouvi então o número dos assinalados: cento e quarenta e quatro mil assinalados, de toda tribo dos filhos de Israel;*

4. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5. da tribo de Judá, doze mil assinalados; da tribo de Rúben, doze mil; da tribo de Gad, doze mil;

5. Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.

6. da tribo de Aser, doze mil; da tribo de Neftali, doze mil; da tribo de Manas­sés, doze mil;

6. Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.

7. da tribo de Simeão, doze mil; da tribo de Levi, doze mil; da tribo de Issacar, doze mil;

7. Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.

8. da tribo de Zabulon, doze mil; da tribo de José, doze mil; da tribo de Benjamim, doze mil assinalados.

8. Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.

9. Depois disso, vi uma grande multidão que ninguém podia contar, de toda nação, tribo, povo e língua: conservavam-se em pé diante do trono e diante do Cordeiro, de vestes brancas e palmas na mão,*

9. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10. e bradavam em alta voz: “A salvação é obra de nosso Deus, que está assentado no trono, e do Cordeiro”.

10. And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11. E todos os Anjos estavam ao redor do trono, dos Anciãos e dos quatro Animais; prostravam-se de face em terra diante do trono e adoravam a Deus, dizendo:

11. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12. “Amém, louvor, glória, sabedoria, ação de graças, honra, poder e força ao nosso Deus pelos séculos dos séculos! Amém”.

12. Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13. Então, um dos Anciãos falou comigo e perguntou-me: “Esses, que estão revestidos de vestes brancas, quem são e de onde vêm?”.

13. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14. Respondi-lhe: “Meu Senhor, tu o sabes”. E ele me disse: “Esses são os sobreviventes da grande tribulação; lavaram as suas vestes e as alvejaram no sangue do Cordeiro.

14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15. Por isso, estão diante do trono de Deus e o servem, dia e noite, no seu templo. Aquele que está sentado no trono os abrigará em sua tenda. Já não terão fome, nem sede, nem o sol ou calor algum os abrasará,

15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16. porque o Cordeiro, que está no meio do trono, será o seu pastor e os levará às fontes das águas vivas; e Deus enxugará toda lágrima de seus olhos”.

16. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17.

17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
