Léctio libri Apocalýpsis beáti Joánnis Apóstoli.
Apoc 7:2-12
In diébus illis: Ecce, ego Joánnes vidi álterum Angelum ascendéntem ab ortu solis, habéntem signum Dei vivi: et clamávit voce magna quátuor Angelis, quibus datum est nocére terræ et mari, dicens: Nolíte nocére terræ et mari neque arbóribus, quoadúsque signémus servos Dei nostri in fróntibus eórum. Et audívi númerum signatórum, centum quadragínta quátuor mília signáti, ex omni tribu filiórum Israël. Ex tribu Juda duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Ruben duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Gad duódecim mília signati. Ex tribu Aser duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Néphthali duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Manásse duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Símeon duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Levi duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Issachar duódecim mília signati. Ex tribu Zábulon duódecim mília signáti. Ex tribu Joseph duódecim mília signati. Ex tribu Bénjamin duódecim mília signáti. Post hæc vidi turbam magnam, quam dinumeráre nemo póterat, ex ómnibus géntibus et tríbubus et pópulis et linguis: stantes ante thronum et in conspéctu Agni, amícti stolis albis, et palmæ in mánibus eórum: et clamábant voce magna, dicéntes: Salus Deo nostro, qui sedet super thronum, et Agno. Et omnes Angeli stabant in circúitu throni et seniórum et quátuor animálium: et cecidérunt in conspéctu throni in fácies suas et adoravérunt Deum, dicéntes: Amen. Benedíctio et cláritas et sapiéntia et gratiárum áctio, honor et virtus et fortitúdo Deo nostro in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Lesson from the book of Revelation
Apoc 7:2-12
In those days, behold, I John, saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, who had it in their power to harm the earth and the sea, saying, Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads. And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the children of Israel; of the tribe of Juda, twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Ruben, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Aser, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Nephthali, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Manasses, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Zabulon, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed. After this I saw a great multitude which no man could number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and with palms in their hands. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation belongs to our God Who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb. And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, saying, Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength to our God forever and ever. Amen.
