Apocalipse 10

Os anjos e os sete trovões. João come o livrinho

1 Vi outro *Ap 5.2anjo forte *Ap 18.1;20.1descendo do céu, vestido de uma nuvem; *Ap 4.3o arco-íris estava sobre a sua cabeça; *Ap 1.16; cp.Mt 17.2e o seu rosto era como o sol, e os *cp.Ap 1.15seus pés, como colunas de fogo; 2 e tinha na mão *Ap 10.8-10; cp.Ap 5.1um livrinho aberto. Pôs *Ap 10.5,8o pé direito sobre o mar; e o esquerdo; sobre a terra, 3 e bradou com uma grande voz, *Is 31.4;Os 11.10como o rugido de leão. Quando bradou, *cp.Ap 4.5;Sl 29.3-9os sete trovões fizeram soar as suas vozes. 4 Quando os sete trovões fizeram soar as suas vozes, *Ap 1.11,19eu ia escrever; mas *Ap 10.8ouvi uma voz do céu, dizendo: *Dn 8.26;12.4,9; cp.Ap 22.10Sela as coisas que falaram os sete trovões e não as escrevas. 5 O anjo que vi em pé sobre o mar e sobre a terra *Gn 14.22;Êx 6.8;Nm 14.30;Dt 32.40;Ez 20.5, etc.;Dn 12.7levantou a destra para o céu 6 e jurou por *Ap 4.9aquele que vive pelos séculos dos séculos, que *Ap 4.11criou o céu, e tudo o que nele há, e a terra, e tudo o que nela há, e o mar, e tudo o que nele há, que *cp.Ap 6.11;12.12;16.17;21.6não haveria mais demora; 7 mas que, nos dias da voz do *Ap 11.15sétimo anjo, quando este estiver para tocar a trombeta, então, se cumprirá *cp.Am 3.7;Rm 16.25o mistério de Deus, segundo ele anunciou aos seus servos, os profetas. 8 *Ap 10.4A voz que eu ouvi do céu, tornei a ouvi-la falando comigo e dizendo: Vai e toma *Ap 10.2o livro que está aberto na mão do anjo que está em pé sobre o mar e sobre a terra. 9 Fui ter com o anjo, pedindo-lhe que me desse o livrinho. *Ez 2.8;3.1-3; cp.Jr 15.16Toma-o, disse-me ele, e come-o; causar-te-á amargor no ventre, mas na tua boca será doce como mel. 10 Tomei o livrinho da mão do anjo e o comi; na minha boca, era doce como mel, mas, depois de o comer, causou-me amargor no ventre. 11 *cp.Ap 11.1Disseram-me: Cumpre que ainda *cp.Ez 37.4,9profetizes a respeito de *cp.Ap 5.9muitos povos, raças, línguas e *cp.Ap 17.10,12reis.

1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land. 3 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them."

5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay, 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants the prophets.

8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land."

9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book.

He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."

10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11 They*10:11 TR reads "He" instead of "They" told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."
