1 After this I saw four angels in their places at the four points of the earth, keeping back the four winds in their hands, so that there might be no moving of the wind on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
1 Y DESPUÉS de estas cosas vi cuatro ángeles que estaban sobre los cuatro ángulos de la tierra, deteniendo los cuatro vientos de la tierra, para que no soplase viento sobre la tierra, ni sobre la mar, ni sobre ningún árbol.
2 And I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the mark of the living God: and he said with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to do damage to the earth and the sea,
2 Y vi otro ángel que subía del nacimiento del sol, teniendo el sello del Dios vivo: y clamó con gran voz á los cuatro ángeles, á los cuales era dado hacer daño á la tierra y á la mar,
3 Do no damage to the earth, or the sea, or the trees, till we have put a mark on the servants of our God.
3 Diciendo: No hagáis daño á la tierra, ni al mar, ni á los árboles, hasta que señalemos á los siervos de nuestro Dios en sus frentes.
4 And there came to my ears the number of those who had the mark on their brows, a hundred and forty-four thousand, who were marked out of every tribe of the people of Israel.
4 Y oí el número de los señalados: ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil señalados de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Judah were marked twelve thousand: of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand:
5 De la tribu de Judá, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Rubén, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Gad, doce mil señalados.
6 Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand:
6 De la tribu de Aser, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Neftalí, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Manasés, doce mil señalados.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand:
7 De la tribu de Simeón, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Leví, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Issachâr, doce mil señalados.
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin were marked twelve thousand.
8 De la tribu de Zabulón, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de José, doce mil señalados. De la tribu de Benjamín, doce mil señalados.
9 After these things I saw a great army of people more than might be numbered, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and languages, taking their places before the high seat and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and with branches in their hands,
9 Después de estas cosas miré, y he aquí una gran compañía, la cual ninguno podía contar, de todas gentes y linajes y pueblos y lenguas, que estaban delante del trono y en la presencia del Cordero, vestidos de ropas blancas, y palmas en sus manos;
10 Saying with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb.
10 Y clamaban en alta voz, diciendo: Salvación á nuestro Dios que está sentado sobre el trono, y al Cordero.
11 And all the angels were round about the high seat, and about the rulers and the four beasts; and they went down on their faces before the high seat, and gave worship to God, saying,
11 Y todos los ángeles estaban alrededor del trono, y [de] los ancianos y los cuatro animales; y postráronse sobre sus rostros delante del trono, y adoraron á Dios,
12 So be it. Let blessing and glory and wisdom and praise and honour and power and strength be given to our God for ever and ever. So be it.
12 Diciendo: Amén: La bendición y la gloria y la sabiduría, y la acción de gracias y la honra y la potencia y la fortaleza, [sean] á nuestro Dios para siempre jamás. Amén.
13 And one of the rulers made answer, saying to me, These who have on white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?
13 Y respondió uno de los ancianos, diciéndome: Estos que están vestidos de ropas blancas, ¿quiénes son, y de dónde han venido?
14 And I said to him, My lord, you have knowledge. And he said to me, These are they who came through the great testing, and their robes have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.
14 Y yo le dije: Señor, tú lo sabes. Y él me dijo: Estos son los que han venido de grande tribulación, y han lavado sus ropas, y las han blanqueado en la sangre del Cordero.
15 This is why they are before the high seat of God; and they are his servants day and night in his house: and he who is seated on the high seat will be a tent over them.
15 Por esto están delante del trono de Dios, y le sirven día y noche en su templo: y el que está sentado en el trono tenderá su pabellón sobre ellos.
16 They will never be in need of food or drink: and they will never again be troubled by the burning heat of the sun:
16 No tendrán más hambre, ni sed, y el sol no caerá más sobre ellos, ni otro ningún calor.
17 For the Lamb who is on the high seat will be their keeper and their guide to fountains of living water: and God will make glad their eyes for ever.
17 Porque el Cordero que está en medio del trono los pastoreará, y los guiará á fuentes vivas de aguas: y Dios limpiará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… which the Church is a sojourner among aliens); or when multiplied into themselves, as ten into ten gives one hundred, and twelve into twelve gives one hundred and forty-four, which last number is used in the Apocalypse to signify the whole body of the saints. Hence it appears that it is not merely questions about times that are to be …

The Apocalypse hath this written; "After this I beheld of all languages, and nations, and tribes, a great multitude, which no man can number, coming with white robes and palms." This is the mass of the saints.
