OET (OET-LV) And I_heard the number of_the ones having_been_sealed, hundred forty four thousands, having_been_sealed out_of every tribe of_the_sons of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl):

OET (OET-RV) Then I heard the count of those who were marked with the seal. There were 144,000 from all of Yisrael’s tribes.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–8: Angels put God’s seal on 144,000 people

In this section, John saw angels put God’s seal on 144,000 people from Israel. This seal indicates that these people belong to God.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The 144,000 of Israel Sealed (NRSV)

The 144,000 Are Marked for God (CEV)

7:4a

And I heard the number of those who were sealed,

And I heard the number of those who were sealed: This clause implies that the angels put the mark of the seal on the believers at this time. Your translation should imply or indicate that they did that. In some languages it is more natural to clearly indicate that they did so. For example:

And the angels did so. And I heard the number of those who were sealed:

who were sealed: This clause is passive. Some languages must use an active clause. For example:

whom the angels sealed

7:4b

144,000 from all the tribes of Israel:

144,000: The Greek phrase uses number words: “one hundred forty-four thousands.” There are several ways to translate this meaning:

Use the number word or phrase for “thousand” from the major language. For example:

144 tausen

one hundred and forty-four tausens

The number refers to the number of men or people. John may have only seen men, or he may have seen both men and women. These verses do not say. Some languages must include a noun with the number. For example:

144,000 men/people

all the tribes of Israel: God gave to Jacob the name Israel. Jacob/Israel had twelve sons. Each of these sons became the head of a family group. Each group was called by the name of the son who founded that group. The people of Israel became a nation (in culture, language, and identity, not just politically). Use the word for that kind of group. For example:

all the clans of Israel

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῶν ἐσφραγισμένων

˱of˲_the_‹ones› ˓having_been˒_sealed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the ones whom the angels sealed]

Note 2 topic: translate-numbers

ἑκατὸν τεσσεράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤκουσα τόν ἀριθμόν τῶν ἐσφραγισμένων ἑκατόν τεσσεράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες ἐσφραγισμένοι ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ)

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, you may translate the large number here and the large numbers in verses 6–8 in the way that would be most natural in your language. Some languages may need to supply a noun after the number to express the meaning. Alternate translation: [144,000] or [one hundred forty-four thousand people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐσφραγισμένοι

˓having_been˒_sealed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [The angels had sealed them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ

˱of˲_˓the˒_sons ˱of˲_Israel

Here the word sons could mean: (1) the literal sons of Israel (that is, Jacob) who were the ancestors of the 12 tribes. If this is the meaning, it would be appropriate to retain the term “sons” in your translation. (2) the descendants of Israel (Jacob), who formed 12 tribes. Alternate translation: [of the descendants of Israel]
