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, 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 有一根好像量尺的芦苇赐给了我， 又有话说： "你起来， 把 神的圣所和祭坛， 以及在里面敬拜的人， 都量一量、数一数。

2 但圣所外面的院子， 不要量它， 因为它已经给了外族人， 他们要践踏圣城四十二个月。

3 我要赐能力给我那两个穿着麻衣的见证人， 他们要传道一千二百六十天。"

4 他们就是站在全地之主面前的两棵橄榄树和两个灯台。

5 如果有人想要伤害他们， 就有火从他们口中出来， 吞灭他们的仇敌。凡是想要伤害他们的， 都必这样被杀。

6 他们有权柄在他们传道的日子叫天闭塞不下雨， 又有权柄掌管众水， 使水变成血， 并且有权柄可以随时随意用各样灾难击打全地。

7 他们作完了见证的时候， 那从无底坑上来的兽要跟他们作战， 胜过他们， 把他们杀死。

8 他们的尸首要倒在大城的街道上。这城按着寓意叫所多玛， 又叫埃及， 就是他们的主被钉十字架的地方。

9 从各民族、各支派、各方言和各邦国中， 都有人观看他们的尸首三天半， 又不许人把尸首安放在坟墓里。

10 住在地上的人为了他们的缘故， 就欢喜快乐， 彼此送礼， 因为这两位先知曾经使他们受痛苦。

11 过了三天半， 有生命的气息从 神那里来， 进入他们里面， 他们就站立起来， 看见他们的人都非常惧怕。

12 他们听见从天上来的大声音， 说： "上这里来！ "他们就驾着云上了天， 他们的仇敌也看见了。

13 就在那时， 大地震发生了， 那座城倒塌了十分之一， 因着地震而死的有七千人， 其余的人都很害怕， 就把荣耀归给天上的 神。

14 第二样灾祸过去了。看哪， 第三样灾祸快要到了！

15 第七位天使吹号， 天上就有大声音说： "世上的国成了我们的主和他所立的基督的国， 他要作王， 直到永永远远！ "

16 那在 神面前， 坐在自己座位上的二十四位长老， 都面伏在地上敬拜 神，

17 说： "主啊！ 全能的 神， 昔在今在的， 我们感谢你！ 因为你执掌了大权， 作王了！

18 列国忿怒了！ 你的震怒也临到了！ 时候已经到了！ 死人要受审判！ 你的众仆人、先知、圣徒， 和所有老幼贵贱、敬畏你名的人， 都要得赏赐！ 你也要毁灭那些败坏全地的人！ "

19 于是， 在天上 神的圣所开了， 他的约柜就在他的圣所中显现出来。随即有闪电、响声、雷轰、地震、大冰雹。
