Revelation 14
1 But then I saw the [one who is like a] lamb standing on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem]. With him were 144,000 [people]. His name and his Father’s name had been written {[He] had written his name and his Father’s name} on their foreheads.
A tu jsem spatřil Beránka, jak stojí na hoře Sijónu, a kolem něho sto čtyřicet čtyři tisíce těch, jejichž čela jsou označena jménem Beránka a jeho Otce.
2 I heard a sound from heaven, which was as [loud] [SIM] as the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide [river of rushing] water) and which was [also as loud as] [SIM] mighty thunder. The sound that I heard was like [the sound that] people make when they are playing their harps.
Z nebe se ke mně donesl zvuk nejprve jako mohutného vodopádu nebo burácení hromu, potom jako hra na mnohé harfy.
3 The 144,000 people were singing a new song [while they stood] in front of the throne, in front of the four living [creatures], and in front of the elders. Only the 144,000 [people], the ones who have been {whom [the one who is like a lamb] has} redeemed/bought from among the people on the earth, could learn that song. No one else could learn the song [that they sang].
Těch sto čtyřiačtyřicet tisíc začalo zpívat před Božím trůnem, před čtyřmi bytostmi a čtyřiadvaceti starci docela novou píseň. Nikdo jiný se k ní nemohl připojit, uměli ji jen tito vykoupení.
4 Those 144,000 are the people who are [spiritually] pure, [like] virgins [are morally pure]. They have not (defiled themselves/made themselves impure) [MET] [by worshipping any false god]. They are the ones who accompany Jesus, the [one who is like a] lamb, wherever he goes. They [represent all those whom he has] redeemed/bought for God from among the people [of earth, in order that he might offer] them to God and to [himself].
To jsou ti, kteří nejsou poskvrněni modloslužbou a následují Beránka všude. Byli jako první sklizeň vykoupeni pro Boha a pro Beránka.
5 [Those people] never lie when they speak [MTY], and they never act immorally.
Jsou čistí a mají čistá ústa – nepropůjčili je nikdy lži.
6 I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
Pak jsem viděl anděla, jak letěl vysoko nad nebeskou klenbou. Nesl radostnou zprávu o vykoupení, zprávu, která nikdy neztratí svou platnost. Ohlašoval ji všem obyvatelům země, lidem všech ras, kmenů, jazyků i národností. (aiōnios g166)
7 He said in a loud voice, “Revere God and honor him, because it is now time for him to judge [people]! Worship [God, because he is] the one who created the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the springs of water.”
Volal silným hlasem: „Bojte se Boha, vzdejte mu čest! Chvíle jeho konečného soudu nastává. Poklekněte před Stvořitelem nebe i země, moře i pramenů vod!“
8 A second angel came after him saying, “The very evil [cities] (OR, [city]) [represented by] Babylon are completely destroyed! [God] has punished [their people because] they [have persuaded people of] all the nations [to forsake God, just like a prostitute] [MET] persuades [men] to drink [strong] wine and [as a result] commit sexual immorality.”
Následoval ho druhý anděl a ten volal: „Padl, padl mocný Babylón, který opájel národy, aby zrazovaly Boha. Jeho číše se teď změnila v pohár Božího hněvu.“
9 A third angel came next, saying in a loud voice, “If people worship the beast and its image and [allow] its mark to be put {its [agent to] put its mark} on their foreheads or on their hands,
Za nimi letěl třetí anděl s důležitou zprávou: „Kdo uctívá šelmu a její sochu, kdo nese na čele nebo na ruce její znak,
10 God will be angry with them and punish them very severely [MET]. They will be tormented {[God] will torment them} in burning sulfur in the presence of his holy angels and in the presence of the [one who is like a] lamb.
ten okusí víno Božího rozhořčení; už se nalévá nezředěné do poháru Božího hněvu. Ctitelé šelmy, její sochy a nositelé jejího znaku propadnou před svatými anděly a před Beránkem soudu.
11 The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
V jejich utrpení nebude pro ně úleva ve dne ani v noci. (aiōn g165)
12 So God’s people, those who obey what God commands and who trust in Jesus, must faithfully continue [obeying and trusting him].
Vyplatí se vytrvalost těch, kdo zachovali Boží přikázání a věrnost Kristu!“
13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write [this: God will] now [abundantly] bless the people who have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus] for the rest of [their lives].” [God’s] Spirit says, “Yes, [after they die], they will no longer have to work hard. Instead, they will rest, and [the record of the good deeds] [MTY] that they have done will go with them (OR, [God] will [reward them] for the good deeds that they have done).”
K tomu se připojil hlas z nebe: „Piš! Ti, kdo umírají s Kristem a zůstávají mu věrní, mohou se od této chvíle radovat. Boží Duch jim dává odpočinek i zadostiučinění.“
14 Then I was surprised to see a white cloud, and on the cloud [someone] was sitting who looked like the one who came from heaven. He [was wearing] a golden crown on his head. In his hand [he held] a sharp sickle.
Tu vidím sněhobílý oblak a na něm muže – ano, je to sám Kristus! Na hlavě má zlatou korunu a v ruce ostrý srp.
15 Another angel came out of the temple [in heaven]. In a loud voice, [speaking figuratively about gathering people for God to judge them], he said to the one who was sitting on the cloud, “The time has come to reap [the grain on the earth], so with your sickle [reap] the [grain], because the grain on the earth is ripe.”
Z chrámu vyšel anděl a volá na něj hlasitě: „Začni svou žeň, chvíle pro ni nastala, úroda země už dozrála!“
16 The one who was sitting on the cloud forcefully gathered together [all the people] on earth, [as] [MET] [a farmer] reaps grain with his sickle.
Pán z oblaku mávl srpem po zemi a země byla rázem požnutá.
17 Another angel came out of the sanctuary in heaven. He also held a sharp sickle.
Z chrámu vyšel jiný anděl s ostrým vinařským nožem v ruce.
18 From the altar came another angel. He is the one who takes care of the fire [of the altar. Also speaking figuratively about gathering the wicked people for God to judge and punish them], he said in a loud voice to the angel who held the sharp sickle, “With your sharp sickle cut off the clusters of grapes in the vineyards on the earth! Then gather the clusters of grapes together, because its grapes are ripe!”
Od oltáře vyšel další anděl, ten který měl moc nad ohněm. Hlasitě zavolal na anděla se srpem a vybídl ho: „Sklízej hrozny, vinice země dozrály k soudu!“
19 So, [just like a man would] cut off with his sickle the clusters of grapes in his vineyard [MET], an angel forcefully [gathered the wicked people] on the earth. Then he threw them into the huge place where God will angrily punish them.
Anděl odřezával hrozny pozemské révy a házel je do obrovského lisu Božího hněvu za hradbami města.
20 [The wicked people] were trampled on {[God’s agent] trod on [the wicked people]} [in] the winepress outside the city. The blood that came out from the winepress flowed [in a stream so deep that it reached] to the bridles of the horses, [and extended] (180 miles/300 kilometers).
Tam byly hrozny tlačeny, až víno rudé jako krev se rozlévalo do nedohledna.
