Revelation 7

1 After this, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth, so that no wind should blow over the earth, or over the sea, or against any tree.

In po teh stvareh sem zagledal štiri angele stati na štirih vogalih zemlje, ki so držali štiri vetrove zemlje, da veter ne bi pihal ne na zemljo, niti ne na morje, niti ne v nobeno drevo.

2 And, in the east, I saw another angel, ascending, holding the seal of the living God; and he cried in a loud voice to the four angels, to whom there had been given power to harm the earth and the sea –

In videl sem drugega angela dvigovati se od vzhoda, ki je imel pečat živega Boga; in ta je z močnim glasom zaklical štirim angelom, ki jim je bilo dano, da škodujejo zemlji in morju,

3 ‘Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.’

rekoč: »Ne škodujte zemlji niti morju niti drevesom, dokler ne zapečatimo služabnikov našega Boga na njihovih čelih.«

4 I heard, too, the number of those who had been sealed. It was one hundred and forty-four thousand; and they were from every tribe of the Israelites.

In slišal sem število teh, ki so bili zapečateni. In zapečatenih je bilo sto štiriinštirideset tisoč izmed vseh rodov Izraelovih otrok.

5 From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,

Iz Judovega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Rubenovega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Gadovega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč.

6 from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Napthali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

Iz Aserjevega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Neftálijevega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Manásejevega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč.

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

Iz Simeonovega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Lévijevega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Isahárjevega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč.

8 from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.

Iz Zábulonovega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Jožefovega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč. Iz Benjaminovega rodu je bilo zapečatenih dvanajst tisoč.

9 After this, in my vision, I saw a vast throng which no one could number, of people from every nation and of all tribes, and peoples, and languages. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, robed in white, holding palm branches in their hands.

Potem sem pogledal in glej, velika množica, ki je noben človek ne bi mogel prešteti, izmed vseh narodov in sorodstev in ljudi in jezikov, je stala pred prestolom in pred Jagnjetom, oblečena v bela svečana oblačila in [s] palmami v svojih rokah

10 And they are crying in a loud voice – ‘Salvation be ascribed to our God who is seated on his throne and to the Lamb.’

in vpila z močnim glasom, rekoč: »Rešitev duš našemu Bogu, ki sedi na prestolu in Jagnjetu.«

11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four creatures, and they prostrated themselves on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God,

In vsi angeli so stali naokrog prestola in okoli starešin in štirih živali in pred prestolom so padli na svoje obraze in oboževali Boga,

12 saying – ‘Amen. Blessing and praise, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.’ (aiōn g165)

rekoč: »Amen: ›Blagoslov, slava, modrost, zahvaljevanje, čast, oblast in moč bodi našemu Bogu na veke vekov. Amen.‹« (aiōn g165)

13 Then one of the elders turned to me and said ‘Who are these who are robed in white? And where did they come from?’

In eden izmed starešin je odgovoril ter mi rekel: »Kaj so ti, ki so oblečeni v bela svečana oblačila? In od kod so prišli?«

14 ‘My Lord,’ I answered, ‘it is you who know.’ ‘These,’ he said, ‘are they who come through the Great Persecution; they washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.

In rekel sem mu: »Gospod, ti veš.« In rekel mi je: »To so tisti, ki so prišli iz velike stiske in so oprali svoja svečana oblačila in jih pobelili v Jagnjetovi krvi.

15 And therefore it is that they are before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his Temple; and he who is seated on the throne will shelter them.

Zato so pred Božjim prestolom in v njegovem templju mu služijo dan in noč. In tisti, ki sedi na prestolu, bo prebival med njimi.

16 Never again will they be hungry, never again will they be thirsty, nor will the sun smite them, nor any scorching heat;

Ne bodo več lačni, niti ne več žejni, niti nanje ne bo svetilo sonce, niti nobena vročina.

17 for the Lamb that stands in the space before the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to life-giving springs of water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.’

Kajti Jagnje, ki je v sredi prestola, jih bo paslo in jih vodilo k živim studencem vodá in Bog bo obrisal vse solze z njihovih oči.«
