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.

1 Ma nägin taevast alla tulemas veel üht vägevat inglit. Ta oli riietatud pilvega ja tema pea kohal oli vikerkaar, ta nägu oli nagu päike ja ta jalad nagu tulesambad. 2 Tal oli käes avatud rullraamatuke. Ta asetas oma parema jala mere peale ja vasaku jala maa peale 3 ning kisendas valju häälega, nii nagu lõvi möirgab. Ja kui ta kisendas, hakkasid seitse pikset kõuemürinaga rääkima. 4 Kui need seitse pikset olid rääkinud ja ma tahtsin hakata kirjutama, kuulsin ma taevast häält, mis ütles: „Pane pitseriga kinni, mida seitse pikset rääkisid, ära pane seda kirja!"

5 Ingel, keda ma olin näinud seismas mere peal ja maa peal, tõstis oma parema käe taeva poole. 6 Ja ta vandus selle juures, kes elab igavesest ajast igavesti, kes on loonud taeva ja kõik, mis seal on, maa ja kõik, mis seal on, ning mere ja kõik, mis seal on, ja ütles: „Enam ei lähe kaua! 7 Neil päevil, kui seitsmes ingel hakkab puhuma trompetit, viiakse täide Jumala varjatud plaan, nagu ta seda on kuulutanud prohvetitele, oma sulastele."

8 Ja hääl, mida ma taevast kuulsin, rääkis minuga jälle ja ütles: „Mine ja võta see avatud raamat, mis on maa ja mere peal seisva ingli käes!"

9 Ma läksin ingli juurde ja palusin, et ta annaks mulle raamatukese. Ta vastas: „Võta ja söö see ära! See on su kõhus mõru, aga suus on see magus nagu mesi." 10 Ma võtsin ingli käest raamatu ja sõin selle ära. Suus oli see magus nagu mesi, aga kui ma olin selle alla neelanud, läks see mul kõhus mõruks. 11 Ja mulle öeldi: „Sa pead jälle ennustama paljude rahvaste, hõimude, keelte ja kuningate kohta!"
