天使與小書卷

10 我又看見一位大力的天使從天上降下來,身披雲彩,頭上有彩虹,臉像太陽,兩腳像火柱一樣, 手裡拿著展開的小書卷。他的右腳踏在海上,左腳踏在地上, 大聲呼喊,好像獅子吼叫。他呼喊的時候,就有七雷發聲說話。 七雷說話的時候,我正要寫下來,就聽見有聲音從天上出來,說:“七雷所說的你要封住,不可寫出來!” 我看見那站在海上和地上的天使,向天舉起右手來, 指著那活到永永遠遠,創造天和天上之物、地和地上之物、海和海中之物的 神起誓,說:“必不再延遲了! 到第七位天使吹號的時候, 神向他的僕人眾先知所宣告的奧祕,就要實現了。”

我先前聽見那從天上來的聲音又對我說:“你去,把那站在海上和地上的天使手中展開的書卷拿過來。” 我就走到天使那裡,請他把小書卷給我。他對我說:“你拿著,吃下去。它必使你肚子苦澀,但是口裡卻好像蜜一樣甘甜。” 10 我把小書卷從天使手中拿過來,吃了,在口裡果然甘甜如蜜;但是吃完之後,我肚子就覺得苦澀。 11 他們又對我說:“論到許多民族、邦國、方言和君王,你必須再說預言。”

The Mighty Angel with the Little Book

10 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. (A)And a rainbow was on (B)his head, his face was like the sun, and (C)his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. (D)And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, (E)seven thunders uttered their voices. Now when the seven thunders [a]uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying [b]to me, (F)“Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land (G)raised up his [c]hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, (H)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, (I)that there should be delay no longer, but (J)in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

John Eats the Little Book

Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”

So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.”

And he said to me, (K)“Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

10 Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, (L)and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, (M)my stomach became bitter. 11 And [d]he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”

10 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:

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,

And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

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.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

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:

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.

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.

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.
