1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing(# perfect as present) on [the] Mount Zion, and with him one hundred forty-four thousand having his name and1 the name of his Father having been written on the their foreheads.

2 And I heard a sound from [the] heaven as(=like) (the) sound of many waters and as(=like) (the) sound of great thunder, and the sound which I heard (was) as(=like) (the sound) of harpists harping in(=with) their harps.

3 And they sing(=sang) 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 one hundred forty-four thousand having been redeemed from the earth.

4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These (are) the ones following the Lamb wherever he [may] goes. These were redeemed from among the men, (being) firstfruit(s) to God and to the Lamb.

5 And in their mouth was found no lie. They are blameless before the throne of God2.

6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to the ones sitting3 on the earth, [and] to every nation and tribe and language and people,

7 saying in a great voice, “Fear [the] God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; and worship the One having made the heaven and the earth and the sea and springs of waters.”

8 And another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, which has made all the nations drink from(=of) the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

9 And another 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,”

10 “he also will drink from(=of) the wine of the wrath of God, (which) having been mixed(=poured) unmixed into the cup of His wrath, and he will be tormented in(=with) fire and sulfur before holy angels and before the Lamb.”

11 “And the smoke of their torment goes up unto ages of ages(=for ever and ever). And they have no rest day and night, (who) worshipping the beast and his image, and if anyone(=whoever) receives the mark of his name.”

12 Here is the endurance of the saints, (who) keeping the commandments of [the] God and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice from [the] heaven saying, “Write: Blessed (are) the dead dying in (the) Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “[that] they will rest from their labors, for their works follow with them.”

14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a Son of Man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying in(=with) a great voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Send(=Use) your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth was dried(=is ripe).”

16 And the one sitting on the cloud threw(=swung) his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came out of the temple (which is) in [the] heaven, (who) himself also having a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out of the altar, (who) having authority over [the] fire, and he called (with) a great voice to the one having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send(=Use) your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes were ripe(=are ripe).”

19 And the angel threw(=swung) his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw (them) into the great winepress of the wrath of [the] God.

20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came(=flowed) out of the winepress, up to the bridles of the horses, from(=for a distance of) one thousand six hundred stadia.
