PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا خَرُوفٌ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَمَعَهُ مِئَةٌ وَأَرْبَعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا، لَهُمُ ٱسْمُ أَبِيهِ مَكْتُوبًا عَلَى جِبَاهِهِمْ.
1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
1 Καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ἀρνίον ἑστηκὸς ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σιών, καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, ἔχουσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένον ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων αὐτῶν.
2 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ كَصَوْتِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَكَصَوْتِ رَعْدٍ عَظِيمٍ. وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا كَصَوْتِ ضَارِبِينَ بِٱلْقِيثَارَةِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِقِيثَارَاتِهِمْ،
2 I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
2 καὶ ἤκουσα [φωνὴν] ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὡς φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν καὶ ὡς φωνὴν βροντῆς μεγάλης· καὶ ἡ φωνὴ ἣν ἤκουσα, ὡς κιθαρῳδῶν κιθαριζόντων ἐν ταῖς κιθάραις αὐτῶν.
3 وَهُمْ يَتَرَنَّمُونَ كَتَرْنِيمَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَأَمَامَ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ. وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ ٱلتَّرْنِيمَةَ إِلَّا ٱلْمِئَةُ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتُرُوا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.
3 They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
3 καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο μαθεῖν τὴν ᾠδὴν εἰ μὴ αἱ ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, οἱ ἠγορασμένοι ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
4 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَتَنَجَّسُوا مَعَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَطْهَارٌ. هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتْبَعُونَ ٱلْخَرُوفَ حَيْثُمَا ذَهَبَ. هَؤُلَاءِ ٱشْتُرُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلنَّاسِ بَاكُورَةً لِلهِ وَلِلْخَرُوفِ.
4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
4 οὗτοί εἰσιν οἳ μετὰ γυναικῶν οὐκ ἐμολύνθησαν· παρθένοι γάρ εἰσιν. οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες τῷ ἀρνίῳ ὅπου ἂν ὑπάγῃ. οὗτοι ἠγοράσθησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπαρχὴ τῷ Θεῷ καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ·
5 وَفِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ غِشٌّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بِلَا عَيْبٍ قُدَّامَ عَرْشِ ٱللهِ.
5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
5 καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ψεῦδος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν· ἄμωμοι γάρ εἰσιν.
6 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ مَلَاكًا آخَرَ طَائِرًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَعَهُ بِشَارَةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ، لِيُبَشِّرَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكُلَّ أُمَّةٍ وَقَبِيلَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ وَشَعْبٍ،
6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
6 Καὶ εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον πετόμενον ἐν μεσουρανήματι, ἔχοντα εὐαγγέλιον αἰώνιον εὐαγγελίσαι ἐπὶ τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν ἔθνος καὶ φυλὴν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ λαόν,
7 قَائِلًا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «خَافُوا ٱللهَ وَأَعْطُوهُ مَجْدًا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَتْ سَاعَةُ دَيْنُونَتِهِ، وَٱسْجُدُوا لِصَانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَيَنَابِيعِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ».
7 He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”
7 λέγων ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· φοβήθητε τὸν Κύριον καὶ δότε αὐτῷ δόξαν, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἡ ὥρα τῆς κρίσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσκυνήσατε τῷ ποιήσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πηγὰς ὑδάτων.
8 ثُمَّ تَبِعَهُ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ قَائِلًا: «سَقَطَتْ! سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ، لِأَنَّهَا سَقَتْ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ خَمْرِ غَضَبِ زِنَاهَا!».
8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”
8 καὶ ἄλλος δεύτερος ἄγγελος ἠκολούθησε λέγων· ἔπεσεν, ἔπεσε Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἣ ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς πεπότικε πάντα ἔθνη.
9 ثُمَّ تَبِعَهُمَا مَلَاكٌ ثَالِثٌ قَائِلًا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَسْجُدُ لِلْوَحْشِ وَلِصُورَتِهِ، وَيَقْبَلُ سِمَتَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ أَوْ عَلَى يَدِهِ،
9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
9 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος τρίτος ἠκολούθησεν αὐτοῖς λέγων ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· εἴ τις προσκυνεῖ τὸ θηρίον καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ λαμβάνει τὸ χάραγμα ἐπὶ τοῦ μετώπου αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ,
10 فَهُوَ أَيْضًا سَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ خَمْرِ غَضَبِ ٱللهِ، ٱلْمَصْبُوبِ صِرْفًا فِي كَأْسِ غَضَبِهِ، وَيُعَذَّبُ بِنَارٍ وَكِبْرِيتٍ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَمَامَ ٱلْخَرُوفِ.
10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
10 καὶ αὐτὸς πίεται ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ κεκερασμένου ἀκράτου ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ βασανισθήσεται ἐν πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἁγίων ἀγγέλων καὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου.
11 وَيَصْعَدُ دُخَانُ عَذَابِهِمْ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. وَلَا تَكُونُ رَاحَةٌ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا لِلَّذِينَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِلْوَحْشِ وَلِصُورَتِهِ وَلِكُلِّ مَنْ يَقْبَلُ سِمَةَ ٱسْمِهِ».
11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
11 καὶ ὁ καπνὸς τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῶν εἰς αἰῶνας αἰώνων ἀναβαίνει, καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἀνάπαυσιν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς οἱ προσκυνοῦντες τὸ θηρίον καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴ τις λαμβάνει τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.
12 هُنَا صَبْرُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ. هُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَا ٱللهِ وَإِيمَانَ يَسُوعَ.
12 Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
12 Ὧδε ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν ἁγίων ἐστίν, οἱ τηροῦντες τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν πίστιν Ἰησοῦ.
13 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ قَائِلًا لِي: «ٱكْتُبْ: طُوبَى لِلْأَمْوَاتِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ». «نَعَمْ» يَقُولُ ٱلرُّوحُ: «لِكَيْ يَسْتَرِيحُوا مِنْ أَتْعَابِهِمْ، وَأَعْمَالُهُمْ تَتْبَعُهُمْ».
13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them.”
13 Καὶ ἤκουσα φωνῆς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λεγούσης· γράψον, μακάριοι οἱ νεκροὶ οἱ ἐν Κυρίῳ ἀποθνήσκοντες ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι. ναί, λέγει τὸ Πνεῦμα, ἵνα ἀναπαύσωνται ἐκ τῶν κόπων αὐτῶν· τὰ δὲ ἔργα αὐτῶν ἀκολουθεῖ μετ᾽ αὐτῶν.
14 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا سَحَابَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ، وَعَلَى ٱلسَّحَابَةِ جَالِسٌ شِبْهُ ٱبْنِ إِنْسَانٍ، لَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَفِي يَدِهِ مِنْجَلٌ حَادٌّ.
14 I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
14 Καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ νεφέλη λευκή, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν νεφέλην καθήμενος ὅμοιος υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου, ἔχων ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ στέφανον χρυσοῦν καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ δρέπανον ὀξύ.
15 وَخَرَجَ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، يَصْرُخُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ إِلَى ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلسَّحَابَةِ: «أَرْسِلْ مِنْجَلَكَ وَٱحْصُدْ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ لِلْحَصَادِ، إِذْ قَدْ يَبِسَ حَصِيدُ ٱلْأَرْضِ».
15 Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!”
15 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ, κράζων ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῆς νεφέλης· πέμψον τὸ δρέπανόν σου καὶ θέρισον, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἡ ὥρα [τοῦ] θερίσαι, ὅτι ἐξηράνθη ὁ θερισμὸς τῆς γῆς.
16 فَأَلْقَى ٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَى ٱلسَّحَابَةِ مِنْجَلَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَحُصِدَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ.
16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
16 καὶ ἔβαλεν ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τὴν νεφέλην τὸ δρέπανον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐθερίσθη ἡ γῆ.
17 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، مَعَهُ أَيْضًا مِنْجَلٌ حَادٌّ.
17 Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.
17 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ἔχων καὶ αὐτὸς δρέπανον ὀξύ.
18 وَخَرَجَ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ مِنَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ، وَصَرَخَ صُرَاخًا عَظِيمًا إِلَى ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ ٱلْمِنْجَلُ ٱلْحَادُّ، قَائِلًا: «أَرْسِلْ مِنْجَلَكَ ٱلْحَادَّ وَٱقْطِفْ عَنَاقِيدَ كَرْمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ عِنَبَهَا قَدْ نَضِجَ».
18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!”
18 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, ἔχων ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τοῦ πυρός, καὶ ἐφώνησε κραυγῇ μεγάλῃ τῷ ἔχοντι τὸ δρέπανον τὸ ὀξὺ λέγων· πέμψον σου τὸ δρέπανον τὸ ὀξὺ καὶ τρύγησον τοὺς βότρυας τῆς ἀμπέλου τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἤκμασεν ἡ σταφυλὴ τῆς γῆς.
19 فَأَلْقَى ٱلْمَلَاكُ مِنْجَلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقَطَفَ كَرْمَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَلْقَاهُ إِلَى مَعْصَرَةِ غَضَبِ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ.
19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
19 καὶ ἔβαλεν ὁ ἄγγελος τὸ δρέπανον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐτρύγησε τὴν ἄμπελον τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν μεγάλην.
20 وَدِيسَتِ ٱلْمَعْصَرَةُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فَخَرَجَ دَمٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَعْصَرَةِ حَتَّى إِلَى لُجُمِ ٱلْخَيْلِ، مَسَافَةَ أَلْفٍ وَسِتِّمِئَةِ غَلْوَةٍ.
20 The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.
20 καὶ ἐπατήθη ἡ ληνὸς ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αἷμα ἐκ τῆς ληνοῦ ἄχρι τῶν χαλινῶν τῶν ἵππων ἀπὸ σταδίων χιλίων ἑξακοσίων.

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).
And therefore in another part of this same book we read, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth and now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works do follow them." The Church, then, begins its reign with Christ now in the living and in the dead.
