The 144,000 on Mount Zion
John sees the Lamb standing on Mount Zion with 144,000 who have the name of the Lamb and the Father written on their foreheads. He hears a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and thunder, and the 144,000 sing a new song before the throne that no one else can learn. They are described as virgins who follow the Lamb wherever he goes, bought from the earth as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, with no lie in their mouths and without blemish.
Uppenbarelseboken 14,1-5
1Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
Καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ἀρνίον ⸀ἑστὸς ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σιών, καὶ μετʼ ⸀αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν τεσσεράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες ἔχουσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένον ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων αὐτῶν.
2And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the rumble of loud thunder; the sound I heard was like harpists playing on their harps.
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.
3And they were singing what seemed to be a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, and no one could learn that song except the hundred forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.
καὶ ᾄδουσιν ⸀ὡς ᾠδὴν καινὴν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο μαθεῖν τὴν ᾠδὴν εἰ μὴ αἱ ἑκατὸν τεσσεράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, οἱ ἠγορασμένοι ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
4These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed from among humanity as firstfruits for God and the Lamb,
οὗτοί εἰσιν οἳ μετὰ γυναικῶν οὐκ ἐμολύνθησαν, παρθένοι γάρ εἰσιν· ⸀οὗτοι οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες τῷ ἀρνίῳ ὅπου ἂν ⸀ὑπάγῃ· ⸁οὗτοι ἠγοράσθησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπαρχὴ τῷ θεῷ καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ,
5and no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.
καὶ ⸂ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν οὐχ εὑρέθη⸃ ψεῦδος· ⸀ἄμωμοί εἰσιν.
