1 After this I saw four angels standing(# perfect as present) at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that (the) wind may(=could) not blow on [the] earth or on [the] sea or on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel going up from (the) rising of the sun(=east), having (the) seal of (the) living God, and he cried (with) a great(=loud) voice (to) the four angels to whom it was given [to them] to harm the earth and the sea,

3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we might seal(=put a seal) the slaves of our God on their foreheads.”

4 And I heard the number of the ones having been sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, having been sealed from every tribe of sons of Israel:

5 from (the) tribe of Judah twelve thousand having been sealed, from (the) tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from (the) tribe of Gad twelve thousand,

6 from (the) tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from (the) tribe of Naphtali twelve thusand, from (the) tribe Manasseh twelve thousand,

7 from (the) tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from (the) tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from (the) tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

8 from (the) tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from (the) tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from (the) tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand having been sealed.

9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude which no one was able to number [it], from every nation and tribes and peoples and languages, standing(# perfect as present) before the throne and before the Lamb, having been clothed (with) white robes, and palm branches in their hands,

10 and they cry(=cried) (with) a great voice, saying, “The salvation (belongs to) our God sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

11 And all the angels stood(# pluperfect) around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell down on their faces before the throne and worshipped [the] God,

12 saying, “Amen! [The] Blessing and [the] glory and [the] wisdom and [the] thanksgiving and [the] honor and [the] power and [the] strength (be) to our God unto the ages of the ages(=for ever and ever)! Amen.”

13 And one from(=of) the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these having been clothed (in) the white robes, and where have they come from?”

14 And I have said (to) him, “My Lord, you know.” And he said (to) me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes and have whitened them in the blood of the Lamb.”

15 “Therefore they are before the throne of [the] God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And the One sitting on the throne will tabernacle(=will shield) over them.”

16 “They will hunger no more, and [will] thirst no more. The sun might not fall(=will not strike) upon them, nor any heat.”

17 “For the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them(=will be their shepherd) and will lead them upon(=to) springs of waters of life(=living water). [The] God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
