Revelation 14

1 And I beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

後，我看見羔羊站在熙雍山上，同他在一起的，還有十四萬四千人，他們的額上都刻著羔羊的名號和他父的名號。

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many waters, and as the voice of great thunder; and the voice which I heard, was as the voice of harpers, harping on their harps.

我聽見一個聲音來自天上，好像大水的聲音，又好像巨雷的聲音；我所聽見的那聲音，也好像彈琴者在自己的琴上所彈的聲音。

3 And they sung as it were a new canticle, before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the ancients; and no man could say the canticle, but those hundred forty-four thousand, who were purchased from the earth.

他們在寶座前，在那四個活物和長老前唱的歌，似乎是一首新歌；除了那些從地上贖回來的十四萬四千人外，誰也不能學會那歌。

4 These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb:

這些人沒有與女人有過沾染，仍是童身；羔羊無論到那裏去，他們常隨著羔羊。這些人是從人類中贖回來，獻給天主和羔羊當作初熟之果的；

5 And in their mouth there was found no lie; for they are without spot before the throne of God.

他們口中沒有出過謊言，他們身上也沒有瑕疵。

6 And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth, and over every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people: (aiōnios g166)

隨後，我看見另一位天使，飛翔於天空中，拿著永恆的福音，要傳報給住在地上的人，給各邦國、各支派、各異語和各民族， (aiōnios g166)

7 Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord, and give him honour, because the hour of his judgment is come; and adore ye him, that made heaven and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters.

大聲喊說：「你們要敬畏天主，光榮他，因為他審判的時辰到了；你們要欽崇造成天地、海洋和水泉的上主。」

8 And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

又有第二位天使接著說：「偉大的巴比倫陷落了！那曾使萬民喝她那荒淫烈酒的巴比倫陷落了！」

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand;

又有第三位天使也隨他們之後，大聲喊說：「誰若朝拜了那獸和牠的像，並在自己的額上，或在自己的手上，接受了牠的印號，

10 He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of the Lamb.

就必要喝天主憤怒的酒，即那注在他憤怒之杯的純酒；必在聖天使面前和羔羊面前，遭受烈火與硫磺的酷刑。

11 And the smoke of their torments shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast, and his image, and whoever receiveth the character of his name. (aiōn g165)

他們受刑的煙向上直冒，至於萬世無窮；那些朝拜了獸和獸像的，以及凡接受了牠名字的印號的，日夜得不到安息。」 (aiōn g165)

12 Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

聖徒的恆心，就是在遵守天主的誡命，堅持對耶穌的信德。

13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow them.

以後，我聽見有聲音從天上說：「你寫下：『從今而後，凡在主內死去的，是有福的！』的確，聖神說，讓他們勞苦之後安息罷，因為他們的功行常隨著他們。」

14 And I saw, and behold a white cloud; and upon the cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

以後，我看見有一片白雲，雲上坐著相似人子的一位，頭戴金冠，手拿一把銳利的鐮刀。

15 And another angel came out from the temple crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle, and reap, because the hour is come to reap: for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

有另一位天使從殿裏出來，高聲向坐在雲上的那位喊道：「伸出你的鐮刀收割罷，因為收割的時期已到，地上的莊稼已成熟了。」

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust his sickle into the earth, and the earth was reaped.

坐在雲上的那位就向地上伸出鐮刀，地上的莊稼就被收割了。

17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

有另一位天使從天上的殿裏出來，也拿著一把銳利的鐮刀。

18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth; because the grapes thereof are ripe.

又有一位掌管火的天使，從祭壇那裏出來，高聲向那拿著銳利鐮刀的喊說：「伸出你銳利的鐮刀，收割地上葡萄園的葡萄罷，因為葡萄已成熟了。」

19 And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, and cast it into the great press of the wrath of God:

那天使就向地上伸出了鐮刀，收割了地上的葡萄，把葡萄扔到天主義怒的大搾酒池內。

20 And the press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the press, up to the horses’ bridles, for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

那在城外的搾酒池受到踐踏，遂有血由搾酒池中流出，直到馬嚼環那麼深，一千六百「斯塔狄」那麼遠。
