¹ 这事以後，埃及王的酒政和膳长得罪了他们的主─埃及王，

² 法老就恼怒酒政和膳长这二臣，

³ 把他们下在护卫长府内的监里，就是约瑟被囚的地方。

⁴ 护卫长把他们交给约瑟，约瑟便伺候他们；他们有些日子在监里。

⁵ 被囚在监之埃及王的酒政和膳长二人同夜各做一梦，各梦都有讲解。

⁶ 到了早晨，约瑟进到他们那里，见他们有愁闷的样子。

⁷ 他便问法老的二臣，就是与他同囚在他主人府里的，说：他们今日为甚麽面带愁容呢？

⁸ 他们对他说：我们各人做了一梦，没有人能解。约瑟说：解梦不是出於神麽？请你们将梦告诉我。

⁹ 酒政便将他的梦告诉约瑟说：我梦见在我面前有一棵葡萄树，

¹⁰ 树上有三根枝子，好像发了芽，开了花，上头的葡萄都成熟了。

¹¹ 法老的杯在我手中，我就拿葡萄挤在法老的杯里，将杯递在他手中。

¹² 约瑟对他说：他所做的梦是这样解：三根枝子就是三天；

¹³ 三天之内，法老必提你出监，叫你官复原职，你仍要递杯在法老的手中，和先前作他的酒政一样。

¹⁴ 但你得好处的时候，求你记念我，施恩与我，在法老面前题说我，救我出这监牢。

¹⁵ 我实在是从希伯来人之地被拐来的；我在这里也没有做过甚麽，叫他们把我下在监里。

¹⁶ 膳长见梦解得好，就对约瑟说：我在梦中见我头上顶着三筐白饼；

¹⁷ 极上的筐子里有为法老烤的各样食物，有飞鸟来吃我头上筐子里的食物。

¹⁸ 约瑟说：你的梦是这样解：三个筐子就是三天；

¹⁹ 三天之内，法老必斩断你的头，把你挂在木头上，必有飞鸟来吃你身上的肉。

²⁰ 到了第三天，是法老的生日，他为众臣仆设摆筵席，把酒政和膳长提出监来，

²¹ 使酒政官复原职，他仍旧递杯在法老手中；

²² 但把膳长挂起来，正如约瑟向他们所解的话。

²³ 酒政却不记念约瑟，竟忘了他。

¹ After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

² I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,

³ saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

⁴ I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of 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,

⁶ of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

⁷ of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

⁸ of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

¹⁰ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

¹¹ All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God,

¹² saying, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen."

¹³ One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?"

¹⁴ I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.

¹⁶ They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;

¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
