1 A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it. 2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. 3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10 Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
11 After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. 13 In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.
15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!"
16 The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was,11:17 TR adds "and who is coming" because you have taken your great power and reigned. 18 The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."
19 God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

1 Mulle anti pilliroog mõõdupuuks ja öeldi: „Mine, mõõda ära Jumala tempel ja altar ning need, kes seal kummardavad! 2 Aga templi välisõu jäta välja ning ära mõõda seda, sest see on antud rahvastele ning nad tallavad püha linna nelikümmend kaks kuud. 3 Ja ma määran oma kaks tunnistajat ja nad ennustavad kotiriidesse riietatuna tuhat kakssada kuuskümmend päeva."
4 Need tunnistajad on kaks õlipuud ja kaks lambijalga, mis seisavad kogu maailma Issanda ees. 5 Kui keegi tahab neile kurja teha, väljub nende suust tuli, mis neelab ära nende vaenlased. Kes iganes tahab neile kurja teha, siis peab ta nõnda tapetama. 6 Neil on meelevald sulgeda taevas, et nende ennustamise ajal vihma ei sajaks; ja neil on meelevald vete üle muuta need vereks ning lüüa maad kõikvõimalike nuhtlustega nii sageli, kui nad tahavad.
7 Kui nad on lõpetanud tunnistamise, tuleb sügavikust metsaline ja astub nende vastu lahingusse, ta võidab nad ära ja tapab nad. 8 Nende surnukehad vedelevad suure linna tänavail, mille nimi on vaimulikus tähenduses Soodom ja Egiptus. Seal löödi risti ka nende Issand. 9 Inimesed eri rahvastest, suguharudest, keeltest ja hõimudest vaatavad nende surnukehi kolm ja pool päeva ega lase neid panna hauda. 10 Ja kogu maailma elanikud rõõmustavad nende surma üle, nad pidutsevad ja saadavad üksteisele kingitusi, sest need kaks prohvetit olid vaevanud kogu maailma elanikke.
11 Aga kolme ja poole päeva pärast tuli Jumala eluvaim nende sisse, nad tõusid jalule ning suur kartus valdas kõiki, kes seda nägid. 12 Ja nad kuulsid võimsat häält taevast, mis neile ütles: „Tulge siia üles!" Ja pilv kandis nad üles taevasse, ja nende vaenlased nägid seda pealt.
13 Samal tunnil sündis suur maavärin ning kümnendik linna varises kokku ja selles maavärinas hukkus seitse tuhat inimest, ülejäänud olid hirmunud ja nad andsid taeva Jumalale austust.
14 Teine häda on möödas, vaata, kolmas häda tuleb varsti!
15 Seitsmes ingel puhus pasunat, ja taevas oli kuulda võimsaid hääli, mis ütlesid:
„Maailma valitsus on saanud meie Issanda
ja tema Messia omaks
ning tema valitseb igavesest ajast igavesti."
16 Ja need kakskümmend neli vanemat, kes istuvad Jumala ees oma troonidel, heitsid silmili maha ja kummardasid Jumalat. 17 Nad ütlesid:
„Me täname sind, Issand, Kõigeväeline Jumal,
kes oled ja kes olid,
et sa oled päästnud valla oma võimsa väe
ning hakanud valitsema kuningana.
18 Rahvahõimud on raevutsenud,
aga nüüd on sinu viha saabunud
ning on aeg mõista kohut surnute üle
ning anda kätte palk prohvetitele, su sulastele,
ning pühadele ning neile, kes kardavad su nime,
väikestele ja suurtele,
ning hävitada need, kes hävitavad maad."
19 Ja Jumala tempel taevas avanes ning seal sai nähtavaks tema lepingulaegas. Tulid välgusähvatused, müristamine, äikesehood, maavärin ja ränk rahesadu.
