14 Then kai I looked, and kai behold idou, I saw a ho Lamb arnion standing histēmi on epi · ho Mount oros Zion Siōn; and kai with meta him autos were one hundred hekaton and forty-four tesserakonta tessares thousand chilias who had echō · ho his autos name onoma and kai · ho his autos Father’ s patēr name onoma · ho written graphō on epi · ho their autos foreheads metōpon. And kai I heard akouō a sound phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos like hōs the roar phōnē of many polys waters hydōr and kai like hōs the sound phōnē of loud megas thunder brontē. · kai The ho sound phōnē I heard akouō was like hōs the sound of harpists kitharōidos playing kitharizō on en · ho their autos harps kithara, and kai they were singing adō a new kainos song ōdē before enōpion the ho throne thronos and kai before enōpion the ho four tessares living creatures zōon and kai the ho elders presbyteros. · kai No one oudeis was able dynamai to learn manthanō the ho song ōdē except ei mē the ho one hundred hekaton and forty-four tesserakonta tessares thousand chilias who ho had been redeemed agorazō from apo the ho earth . These houtos are eimi the hos ones who have molynō not ou been defiled molynō with meta women gynē, for gar they are eimi virgins parthenos. These houtos are the ho ones who follow akoloutheō the ho Lamb arnion wherever hopou an he goes hypagō. These houtos were redeemed agorazō from apo the ho human anthrōpos race as firstfruits aparchē for ho God theos and kai for the ho Lamb arnion, and kai in en · ho their autos mouth stoma no ou lie pseudos was found heuriskō; they are eimi blameless.

Then kai I saw another allos angel angelos flying petomai directly en overhead mesouranēma, with echō an eternal aiōnios gospel euangelion to proclaim euangelizō to epi those ho who live kathēmai on epi the ho earth · kai to epi every pas nation ethnos, · kai tribe phylē, · kai language glōssa, and kai people laos. And he said legō with en a loud megas voice phōnē, “ Fear phobeomai · ho God theos and kai give didōmi him autos glory doxa, because hoti the ho hour hōra of ho his autos judgment krisis has come erchomai, and kai worship proskyneō him ho who made poieō · ho heaven ouranos and kai · ho earth , · kai the sea thalassa and kai the springs pēgē of water hydōr.”

Then kai another allos angel angelos, a second deuteros, followed akoloutheō, saying legō, “ Fallen piptō, fallen piptō is Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas!— she potizō who hos has made potizō all pas nations ethnos drink potizō of ek the ho wine oinos of ho her autos passionate thumos · ho immorality porneia.” · ho

Then kai another allos angel angelos, a third tritos, followed akoloutheō them autos, declaring legō in en a loud megas voice phōnē, “ If ei anyone tis worships proskyneō the ho beast thērion and kai · ho his autos image eikōn, and kai receives lambanō a mark charagma on epi · ho his autos forehead metōpon or ē on epi · ho his autos hand cheir, 10 he autos also kai will drink pinō of ek the ho wine oinos of ho God’ s theos wrath thumos, · ho · ho poured kerannymi full strength akratos into en the ho cup potērion of ho his autos wrath orgē, and kai he will be tormented basanizō with en fire pyr and kai sulfur theion in the presence enōpion of the holy hagios angels angelos and kai in the presence enōpion of the ho Lamb arnion. 11 And kai the ho smoke kapnos from ho their autos torture basanismos will go up anabainō forever eis aiōn and ever aiōn, and kai those ho who worship proskyneō the ho beast thērion and kai his autos image eikōn will have echō no ou relief anapausis day hēmera or kai night nyx, · ho along with kai anyone tis who receives lambanō the ho mark charagma of ho his autos name onoma.”

12 This hōde calls for eimi · ho endurance hypomonē on the part of ho the saints hagios, those ho who keep tēreō the ho commandments entolē of ho God theos and kai hold fast to their ho faith pistis in Jesus Iēsous.

13 And kai I heard akouō a voice phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Write graphō this: Blessed makarios are the ho dead nekros who ho die apothnēskō in en the Lord kyrios from apo now arti on.” “ Yes nai indeed!” says legō the ho Spirit pneuma, “ so hina they can rest anapauō from ek · ho their autos labors kopos, · ho because gar their autos deeds ergon will follow akoloutheō them autos!”

14 Then kai I looked, and kai behold idou, a white leukos cloud nephelē, and kai seated kathēmai on epi the ho cloud nephelē was one like homoios a son hyios of man anthrōpos. He had echō a golden chrysous crown stephanos on epi · ho his autos head kephalē and kai a sharp oxys sickle drepanon in en · ho his autos hand cheir. 15 Then kai another allos angel angelos came exerchomai out of ek the ho temple naos, calling krazō with en a loud megas voice phōnē to the ho one who was sitting kathēmai on epi the ho cloud nephelē, “ Thrust in pempō · ho your sy sickle drepanon and kai reap therizō, for hoti the ho hour hōra to reap therizō has come erchomai, because hoti the ho harvest therismos of the ho earth is ripe xērainō.” 16 So kai the ho one who sat kathēmai on epi the ho cloud nephelē swung ballō · ho his autos sickle drepanon across epi the ho earth , and kai the ho earth was reaped therizō.

17 Then kai another allos angel angelos came exerchomai out of ek the ho temple naos · ho in en · ho heaven ouranos, and he autos too kai had echō a sharp oxys sickle drepanon. 18 Then kai another allos angel angelos, the ho one who had echō authority exousia over epi the ho fire pyr, came out exerchomai from ek the ho altar thusiastērion and kai called phōneō with a loud megas voice phōnē to the ho angel who had echō the ho sharp oxys sickle drepanon, · ho Thrust in pempō your sy · ho sharp oxys sickle drepanon · ho and kai gather trygaō the ho clusters botrys of grapes from the ho vine ampelos of the ho earth , for hoti its autos grapes staphylē are ripe akmazō.” · ho 19 So kai the ho angel angelos swung ballō · ho his autos sickle drepanon across eis the ho earth and kai gathered trygaō the ho grape harvest ampelos of the ho earth and kai threw ballō it into eis the ho great megas winepress lēnos of the ho wrath thumos of ho God theos. · ho 20 Then kai the ho winepress lēnos was trodden pateō outside exōthen the ho city polis, and kai blood haima poured out exerchomai from ek the ho winepress lēnos, rising to achri the height of ho horses’ hippos bridles chalinos · ho for a distance of about apo two hundred miles stadion.

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,(A) standing on Mount Zion,(B) and with him 144,000(C) who had his name and his Father’s name(D) written on their foreheads.(E) And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.(H) And they sang a new song(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures(J) and the elders.(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.(N) They were purchased from among mankind(O) and offered as firstfruits(P) to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths;(Q) they are blameless.(R)

The Three Angels

Then I saw another angel flying in midair,(S) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth(T)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.(U) He said in a loud voice, “Fear God(V) and give him glory,(W) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made(X) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(Y)

A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’[a](Z) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”(AA)

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast(AB) and its image(AC) and receives its mark on their forehead(AD) or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,(AE) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.(AF) They will be tormented with burning sulfur(AG) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.(AH) There will be no rest day or night(AI) for those who worship the beast and its image,(AJ) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”(AK) 12 This calls for patient endurance(AL) on the part of the people of God(AM) who keep his commands(AN) and remain faithful to Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord(AO) from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit,(AP) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress

14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(AQ) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[b](AR) with a crown(AS) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(AT) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(AU) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(AV) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(AW) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(AX) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(AY) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AZ) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(BA) outside the city,(BB) and blood(BC) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[c]
