1 E vi outro anjo forte que descia do céu, vestido de uma nuvem; por cima da sua cabeça estava o arco-íris; o seu rosto era como o sol, e os seus pés como colunas de fogo,
2 e tinha na mão um livrinho aberto. Pôs o seu pé direito sobre o mar, e o esquerdo sobre a terra,
3 e clamou com grande voz, assim como ruge o leão; e quando clamou, os sete trovões fizeram soar as suas vozes.
4 Quando os sete trovões acabaram de soar eu já ia escrever, mas ouvi uma voz do céu, que dizia: Sela o que os sete trovões falaram, e não o escrevas.
5 O anjo que vi em pé sobre o mar e sobre a terra levantou a mão direita ao céu,
6 e jurou por aquele que vive pelos séculos dos séculos, o qual criou o céu e o que nele há, e a terra e o que nela há, e o mar e o que nele há, que não haveria mais demora,
7 mas que nos dias da voz do sétimo anjo, quando este estivesse para tocar a trombeta, se cumpriria o mistério de Deus, como anunciou aos seus servos, os profetas.
8 A voz que eu do céu tinha ouvido tornou a falar comigo, e disse: Vai, e toma o livro que está aberto na mão do anjo que se acha em pé sobre o mar e sobre a terra.
9 E fui ter com o anjo e lhe pedi que me desse o livrinho. Disse-me ele: Toma-o, e come-o; ele fará amargo o teu ventre, mas na tua boca será doce como mel.
10 Tomei o livrinho da mão do anjo, e o comi; e na minha boca era doce como mel; mas depois que o comi, o meu ventre ficou amargo.
11 Então me disseram: Importa que profetizes outra vez a muitos povos, e nações, e línguas, e reis.
1 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head, and his countenance as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,
2 and having in his hand a little opened book. And he set his right foot on the sea, and the left upon the earth,
3 and cried with a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.
4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.
5 And the angel whom I saw stand on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand to the heaven,
6 and swore by him that lives to the ages of ages, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be no longer delay;
7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God also shall be completed, as he has made known the glad tidings to his own bondmen the prophets.
8 And the voice which I heard out of the heaven {was} again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth.
9 And I went to the angel, saying to him to give me the little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the hand of the angel, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth as honey, sweet; and when I had eaten it my belly was made bitter.
11 And it was said to me, Thou must prophesy again as to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.
