1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

1 我又看见一位大力的天使从天上降下来， 身披云彩， 头上有彩虹， 脸像太阳， 两脚像火柱一样，

2 手里拿着展开的小书卷。他的右脚踏在海上， 左脚踏在地上，

3 大声呼喊， 好像狮子吼叫。他呼喊的时候， 就有七雷发声说话。

4 七雷说话的时候， 我正要写下来， 就听见有声音从天上出来， 说： "七雷所说的你要封住， 不可写出来！ "

5 我看见那站在海上和地上的天使， 向天举起右手来，

6 指着那活到永永远远， 创造天和天上之物、地和地上之物、海和海中之物的 神起誓， 说： "必不再延迟了！

7 到第七位天使吹号的时候， 神向他的仆人众先知所宣告的奥秘， 就要实现了。"

8 我先前听见那从天上来的声音又对我说： "你去， 把那站在海上和地上的天使手中展开的书卷拿过来。"

9 我就走到天使那里， 请他把小书卷给我。他对我说： "你拿着， 吃下去。它必使你肚子苦涩， 但是口里却好像蜜一样甘甜。"

10 我把小书卷从天使手中拿过来， 吃了， 在口里果然甘甜如蜜； 但是吃完之后， 我肚子就觉得苦涩。

11 他们又对我说： "论到许多民族、邦国、方言和君王， 你必须再说预言。"
