E shout give di four angel wey dem don give power to spoil di earth and di sea, 3 e talk say, "No spoil di earth, di sea, or di tree, until we don put seal for di forehead of di servant dem wey be our Papa own." 4 I hear di number of dem wey dem seal: 144,000, wey dem seal from every tribe of di pikin dem of Israel. a a v4 Di number 144,000 — twelve thousand from each of di twelve tribe — na sign of complete-complete, wey dey paint picture of di full people of our Papa, no be say na person-by-person dem count. 5 From di tribe of Judah dem seal twelve thousand, from di tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from di tribe of Gad twelve thousand, 6 from di tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from di tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from di tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, 7 from di tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from di tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from di tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, 8 from di tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from di tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from di tribe of Benjamin dem seal twelve thousand.
Plenty Crowd Wey Nobody Fit Count
9 After dis, I see one big-big crowd wey nobody fit count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, dey stand for front of di throne and for front of di Lamb, dem wear white cloth, dey hold palm branch for hand. 10 Dem shout loud-loud say, "Salvation na for our Papa wey sidon for di throne, and for di Lamb!"
11 All di angel dey stand round di throne, and round di elder dem and di four living creature, den dem fall face-down for front of di throne and worship our Papa, 12 dem talk say, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thank you, honour, power, and might be to our Papa forever and ever! Amen."
13 Den one of di elder dem ask me, "Dis people wey wear white cloth — who dem be, and na where dem comot?"
14 I talk say, "My oga, na you sabi." E tell me say, "Na dis people comot from di big suffering; dem wash dem cloth and make am white for inside di blood of di Lamb."
15 Na dat one make dem dey for front of di throne of our Papa, dey serve am day and night for inside im temple; and di One wey sidon for di throne go cover dem. 16 Hunger no go catch dem again and thirst no go catch dem again; di sun no go beat dem, and no hot-hot heat go touch dem. 17 Because di Lamb wey dey for di middle of di throne go shepherd dem, and E go lead dem go di spring of living water; and our Papa go wipe every tear comot for dem eye. b b v17 Na our Papa imsef — no be angel, no be servant — dey wipe di tear comot for im pikin dem eye.
