1 And was given to me a reed like to a rod, saying: Rise thou, and measure thou the temple of the God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it;
2 and the court that outside of the temple do thou cast out and not her thou mayest measure, because it was given to the nations; and the city the holy shall they tread months forty two.
3 And I will give to the two witnesses of me, and they shall prophesy days a thousand two hundred sixty, having been clothed with sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands those in presence of the Lord of the earth standing.
5 And if any one them wills to injure, fire proceeds out of the mouth of them, and eats up the enemies of them; and if any one them wills to injure, thus it behooves him to be killed.
6 These have the heaven authority to shut, so that not rain it may rain the days of the prophesy of them; and authority they have over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth, as often as if they should will, with every plague.
7 And when they may finish the testimony of themselves, the wildbeast that rising up out of the deep will make with them war, and will conquer them, and will kill them.
8 And the dead body of them into the street city of the great, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also the Lord of them was crucified.
9 And they took of the peoples and of the tribes and of tongues and of nations the dead body of them days three and a half, and the dead bodies of them not will suffer, to be put into a tomb.
10 And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them, and will be glad, and gifts will send to each other, because these the two prophets tormented those dwelling on the earth.
11 And after the three days and a half, breath of life from the God entered in them; and they stood on the feet of themselves, and fear great fell on those beholding them.
12 And they heard a voice great from the heaven, saying to them: Come up hither. And they went up to the heaven in the cloud; and beheld them the enemies of themselves.
13 And in that the hour was an earthquake great, and the tenth of the city fell, and were killed in the earthquake names of men thousands seven; and the remaining ones afraid became, and they gave glory to the God of the heaven.
14 The woe the second passed away; lo, the woe the third comes speedily.
15 And the seventh messenger sounded, and were voices great in the heaven, saying: Became the kingdom of the world, of the Lord of us and of the Anointed of him, and he will reign for the age of the ages.
16 And the twentyfour elders those in presence of the God sitting on the thrones of themselves, fell on the faces of themselves, and worshipped the God,
17 saying: We give thanks to thee, O Lord the God the almighty, the one existing and who was, because thou hast taken the power of thee the great, and reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and came the wrath of thee, and the season of the dead ones, to be judged and to give the reward to the bondservants of thee the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing the name of thee the small ones and the great ones, and to destroy those destroying the earth.
19 And was opened the temple of the God in the heaven, and was seen the ark of the covenant of the Lord in the temple of him; and were lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and hail great.
1 There was given me a reed like a measuring rod: and the angel stood, saying: "Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship there.
2 "Do not measure the court outside the temple for it is 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 a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
4 These witnesses are the two olive trees, and the two lamp stands standing before the God of the earth.
5 If any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. If any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These two witnesses have power to shut the sky so that it will not rain in the days of their prophecy. They have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 When they finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them and conquer them, and kill them.
8 Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was impaled.
9 The people and tribes and tongues and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and will look at them and refuse to bury them.
10 The inhabitants of the earth will celebrate and rejoice over them. They will rejoice and send gifts to one another. This is because these two prophets tormented those who lived on the earth.
11 After three and a half days the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet. Great fear fell upon all who saw them.
12 They heard a great voice from heaven say: "Come up here." So they ascended up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies beheld them.
13 In that same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand men were slain in the earthquake, and the survivors were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe has past. The third woe will come quickly.
15 The seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were great voices in heaven, saying: "The kingdom of the world has become our Gods, and his Christ will rule as king forever and ever."
16 The twenty-four elders, who sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God,
17 Saying: "We give you thanks, Jehovah God the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power, and begun to rule as king. (Exodus 6:3) (Amos 4:13)
18 "The nations were angry. Your wrath indignation has come! It is time to judge the dead, to reward your servants the prophets, the holy ones, and those who reverence your name the small and the great. Time to destroy exterminateeradicate those who destroy the earth."
19 The temple of God was opened in heaven. There was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant. And there were lightnings and voices and thunder and an earthquake and great hail.
