1 And there was given to me a measuring rod: and one said, Go up and take the measure of the house of God, and the altar, and the worshippers in it.

2 But do not take the measure of the space outside the house; because it has been given to the nations: and the holy town will be under their feet for forty-two months.

3 And I will give orders to my two witnesses, and they will be prophets for a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed with haircloth.

4 These are the two olive-trees and the two lights, which are before the Lord of the earth.

5 And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death.

6 These have the power to keep the heaven shut, so that there may be no rain in the days when they are prophets: and they have power over the waters to make them into blood, and to send every sort of disease on the earth as their pleasure is.

7 And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death.

8 And their dead bodies will be in the open street of the great town, which in the spirit is named Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was put to death on the cross.

9 And the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will be looking on their dead bodies three days and a half, and will not let their dead bodies be put in the earth.

10 And those who are on the earth will have pleasure and delight over them; and they will send offerings one to another because these two prophets gave great trouble to all on the earth.

11 And after three days and a half the breath of life from God went into them, and they got up on their feet; and great fear came on those who saw them.

12 And a great voice from heaven came to their ears, saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and were seen by those desiring their death.

13 And in that hour there was a great earth-shock and a tenth part of the town came to destruction; and in the earth-shock seven thousand persons came to their end: and the rest were in fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second Trouble is past: see, the third Trouble comes quickly.

15 And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty rulers, who are seated before God on their high seats, went down on their faces and gave worship to God, saying,

17 We give you praise, O Lord God, Ruler of all, who is and who was; because you have taken up your great power and are ruling your kingdom.

18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time of reward for your servants, the prophets, and for the saints, and for those in whom is the fear of your name, small and great, and the time of destruction for those who made the earth unclean.

19 And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.

1 有一根好像量尺的芦苇赐给了我， 又有话说： "你起来， 把 神的圣所和祭坛， 以及在里面敬拜的人， 都量一量、数一数。

2 但圣所外面的院子， 不要量它， 因为它已经给了外族人， 他们要践踏圣城四十二个月。

3 我要赐能力给我那两个穿着麻衣的见证人， 他们要传道一千二百六十天。"

4 他们就是站在全地之主面前的两棵橄榄树和两个灯台。

5 如果有人想要伤害他们， 就有火从他们口中出来， 吞灭他们的仇敌。凡是想要伤害他们的， 都必这样被杀。

6 他们有权柄在他们传道的日子叫天闭塞不下雨， 又有权柄掌管众水， 使水变成血， 并且有权柄可以随时随意用各样灾难击打全地。

7 他们作完了见证的时候， 那从无底坑上来的兽要跟他们作战， 胜过他们， 把他们杀死。

8 他们的尸首要倒在大城的街道上。这城按着寓意叫所多玛， 又叫埃及， 就是他们的主被钉十字架的地方。

9 从各民族、各支派、各方言和各邦国中， 都有人观看他们的尸首三天半， 又不许人把尸首安放在坟墓里。

10 住在地上的人为了他们的缘故， 就欢喜快乐， 彼此送礼， 因为这两位先知曾经使他们受痛苦。

11 过了三天半， 有生命的气息从 神那里来， 进入他们里面， 他们就站立起来， 看见他们的人都非常惧怕。

12 他们听见从天上来的大声音， 说： "上这里来！ "他们就驾着云上了天， 他们的仇敌也看见了。

13 就在那时， 大地震发生了， 那座城倒塌了十分之一， 因着地震而死的有七千人， 其余的人都很害怕， 就把荣耀归给天上的 神。

14 第二样灾祸过去了。看哪， 第三样灾祸快要到了！

15 第七位天使吹号， 天上就有大声音说： "世上的国成了我们的主和他所立的基督的国， 他要作王， 直到永永远远！ "

16 那在 神面前， 坐在自己座位上的二十四位长老， 都面伏在地上敬拜 神，

17 说： "主啊！ 全能的 神， 昔在今在的， 我们感谢你！ 因为你执掌了大权， 作王了！

18 列国忿怒了！ 你的震怒也临到了！ 时候已经到了！ 死人要受审判！ 你的众仆人、先知、圣徒， 和所有老幼贵贱、敬畏你名的人， 都要得赏赐！ 你也要毁灭那些败坏全地的人！ "

19 于是， 在天上 神的圣所开了， 他的约柜就在他的圣所中显现出来。随即有闪电、响声、雷轰、地震、大冰雹。
