Revelation 14

1 And I looked and behold the Lamb (standing *N+kO) upon Mount Zion and with Him (number *O) one hundred forty four thousand having (the name of Him and *NO) the name of the Father of Him written on the foreheads of them.

Then, in my vision, I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion. With him were a hundred and forty-four thousand men, with his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

2 And I heard a voice out of heaven as [the] sound of waters many and as [the] sound of thunder loud, And the (voice *N+kO) that I heard ([was] like that *NO) of harpists harping with the harps of them.

And I heard a sound from Heaven, ‘like the sound of many waters,’ and like the sound of a loud peal of thunder; the sound that I heard was like the music of harpers playing on their harps.

3 And they are singing as a song new before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, And no [one] was able to learn the song only except the one hundred forty four thousand who redeemed from the earth.

They are singing what seems to be a new song, before the throne, and before the four Creatures and the Councillors; and no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from earth.

4 These are they who with women not was defiled, pure for they are; these (are *k) those following after the Lamb wherever maybe (He may go; *NK+o) These (by Jesus *O) were redeemed out from men [as] firstfruits to God and to the Lamb;

These are the men who never defiled themselves in their intercourse with women; they are as pure as virgins. These are the men who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed as the first-fruits of mankind for God and for the Lamb.

5 And in the mouth of them not was found (a lie, *N+kO) blameless (for *ko) they are (before the throne of the God. *K)

‘No lie was ever heard upon their lips.’ They are beyond reach of blame.

6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having [the] glad tidings everlasting to evangelise (upon *no) those (residing *N+kO) on the earth and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people (aiōnios g166)

Then I saw another angel, flying in mid-heaven. He had the Good News, decreed from eternity, to announce to those who dwell on the earth — to men of every nation, and tribe, and language, and people; (aiōnios g166)

7 (saying *N+kO) in a voice loud; do fear (God *NK+O) and do give to Him glory, because has come the hour of the judgment of Him, And do worship (the [One] *NK+o) (him [who] *o) (having made *NK+o) heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.

and he cried in a loud voice — ‘Reverence God, and give him praise (for the hour of his Judgment has come) and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all springs of water.’

8 And another angel (a second *NO) followed saying; Fallen Fallen is Babylon (the city *K) the great (who *N+kO) of the wine of wrath for the immorality of her she has given to drink all the Gentiles.

Then a second angel followed, crying — ‘She has fallen! She has fallen — Babylon the Great, who has made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her licentiousness!’

9 And (another *no) angel a third followed after them saying in a voice loud; If anyone worships the beast and the image of it and receives a mark on the forehead of him or upon the hand of him,

Then a third angel followed them, crying in a loud voice — ‘Whoever worships the Beast and its image, and receives its brand on his forehead or on his hand,

10 also he himself will drink of the wine of the anger of God which mixed undiluted in the cup of the wrath of Him and he will be tormented in fire and brimstone before (of the *k) angels holy and before the Lamb.

that man shall drink the maddening wine of God that has been poured unmixed into the cup of his Wrath, and he shall be tortured with fire and sulphur before the eyes of the holy angels and before the eyes of the Lamb.

11 And the smoke of the torment of them to ages of ages goes up, and not have rest by day and night those worshiping the beast and the image of it and if anyone receives the mark of the name of it. (aiōn g165)

The smoke from their torture rises for ever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night — those who worship the Beast and its image, and all who are branded with its name.’ (aiōn g165)

12 Here the endurance of the saints is (here *k) those keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

(Here there is need for endurance on the part of Christ’s People — those who lay to heart the commands of God and the Faith of Jesus.)

13 And I heard a voice out of heaven saying (to me: *K) do write; Blessed [are] the dead in the Lord dying from now. Yes, says the Spirit, so that (they will rest *N+kO) from the labors of them, (for *N+kO) the works of them follow with them.

Then I heard a voice from Heaven saying ‘Write — “Blessed are the dead who from this hour die in union with the Lord.” “Yes,” answers the Spirit, “that they may rest from their toil. Their good deeds go with them.”’

14 And I looked and behold a cloud white, and upon the cloud (is sitting [One] like [the] Son *N+kO) of Man, having on the head of Him a crown golden and in the hand of Him a sickle sharp.

Then, in my vision, I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud there was sitting one ‘like a man.’ On his head he had a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple crying in a voice loud to the [One] sitting on the cloud; do put forth the sickle of You and do reap, because has come (to you *K) the hour (of the *k) to reap, because has ripened the harvest of the earth.

Then another angel came out from the Temple, crying in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud — ‘Take your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come; the Harvest of Earth is ready.’

16 And swung the [One] sitting upon (the cloud *N+kO) the sickle of Him upon the earth, and was harvested the earth.

He who was sitting on the cloud brought his sickle down upon the earth, and the Harvest of Earth was reaped.

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

Then another angel came out of the Temple in Heaven; he, also, had a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out of the altar who is having authority over the fire and he called (in a voice *N+kO) loud to the [one] having the sickle sharp saying; do put forth your sickle sharp and do gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because fully ripened the grapes of it.

Then another angel came out of the altar; he had power over fire, and he called in a loud voice to the angel that had the sharp sickle — ‘Take your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the Vine of Earth, for its grapes are ripe.’

19 And put forth the angel the sickle of him to the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and cast [them] into the winepress of the wrath of God (great. *N+kO)

The angel brought his sickle down on the earth and gathered the fruit of the Vine of Earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the Wrath of God.

20 And was trodden the winepress outside the city, and flowed blood out of the winepress as high as the bridles of the horses to the distance of stadia one thousand six hundred.

The ‘grapes were trodden in the press’ outside the city; and blood came out of the press, rising as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of two hundred miles.
