1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon 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 ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt 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 saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
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 I heard the number of them which were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children 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 ]sealed 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 ]sealed 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, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of [all ]tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms 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 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God which sitteth on the throne, and unto 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 standing round about the throne, and [about ]the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
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 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be ]unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
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 elders answered, saying unto me, These which are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
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 say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them 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 Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle 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 shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat:
16 No tendrán más hambre, ni sed, y el sol no caerá más sobre ellos, ni otro ningún calor.
17 for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
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 …
