1 And there was given to me a reed like a staff, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it.

2 And the court which {is} without the temple cast out, and measure it not; because it has been given {up} to the nations, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months.

3 And I will give {power} to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred {and} sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth;

5 and if any one wills to injure them, fire goes out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. And if any one wills to injure them, thus must he be killed.

6 These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall during the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague.

7 And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast who comes up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and shall conquer them, and shall kill them:

8 and their body {shall be} on the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

9 And {men} of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their body three days and a half, and they do not suffer their bodies to be put into a sepulchre.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth rejoice over them, and are full of delight, and shall send gifts one to another, because these, the two prophets, tormented them that dwell upon the earth.

11 And after the three days and a half {the} spirit of life from God came into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those beholding them.

12 And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, Come up here; and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.

13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were slain in the earthquake. And the remnant were filled with fear, and gave glory to the God of the heaven.

14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe comes quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded {his} trumpet: and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world of our Lord and of his Christ is come, and he shall reign to the ages of ages.

16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 saying, We give thee thanks, Lord God Almighty, {He} who is, and who was, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast reigned.

18 And the nations have been full of wrath, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the recompense to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear thy name, small and great; and to destroy those that destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God in the heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

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。
