启示录 11
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
兩個見證人
11 有一根好像量尺的蘆葦賜給了我，又有話說：“你起來，把 神的聖所和祭壇，以及在裡面敬拜的人，都量一量、數一數。 2 但聖所外面的院子，不要量它，因為它已經給了外族人，他們要踐踏聖城四十二個月。 3 我要賜能力給我那兩個穿著麻衣的見證人，他們要傳道一千二百六十天。” 4 他們就是站在全地之主面前的兩棵橄欖樹和兩個燈臺。 5 如果有人想要傷害他們，就有火從他們口中出來，吞滅他們的仇敵。凡是想要傷害他們的，都必這樣被殺。 6 他們有權柄在他們傳道的日子叫天閉塞不下雨，又有權柄掌管眾水，使水變成血，並且有權柄可以隨時隨意用各樣災難擊打全地。 7 他們作完了見證的時候，那從無底坑上來的獸要跟他們作戰，勝過他們，把他們殺死。 8 他們的屍首要倒在大城的街道上。這城按著寓意叫所多瑪，又叫埃及，就是他們的主被釘十字架的地方。 9 從各民族、各支派、各方言和各邦國中，都有人觀看他們的屍首三天半，又不許人把屍首安放在墳墓裡。 10 住在地上的人為了他們的緣故，就歡喜快樂，彼此送禮，因為這兩位先知曾經使他們受痛苦。 11 過了三天半，有生命的氣息從 神那裡來，進入他們裡面，他們就站立起來，看見他們的人都非常懼怕。 12 他們聽見從天上來的大聲音，對他們說：“上這裡來！”他們就駕著雲上了天，他們的仇敵也看見了。 13 就在那時，大地震發生了，那座城倒塌了十分之一，因著地震而死的有七千人，其餘的人都很害怕，就把榮耀歸給天上的 神。
14 第二樣災禍過去了。看哪，第三樣災禍快要到了！
吹第七枝號
15 第七位天使吹號，天上就有大聲音說：
“世上的國成了我們的主
和他所立的基督的國，
他要作王，直到永永遠遠！”
16 那在 神面前，坐在自己座位上的二十四位長老，都面伏在地上敬拜 神， 17 說：
“主啊！全能的 神，昔在今在的，
我們感謝你！
因為你執掌了大權，
作王了！
18 列國忿怒了！
你的震怒也臨到了！
時候已經到了！
死人要受審判！
你的眾僕人、先知、聖徒，
和所有老幼貴賤、敬畏你名的人，
都要得賞賜！
你也要毀滅那些敗壞全地的人！”
19 於是，在天上 神的聖所開了，他的約櫃就在他的聖所中顯現出來。隨即有閃電、響聲、雷轟、地震、大冰雹。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
两位见证人
11 有一根杆子赐给我当量尺，同时有声音吩咐我说：“起来，量一量上帝的殿和祭坛，并数点在殿里敬拜的人。 2 你不用量圣殿的外院，因为这部分已经给了外族人，他们要践踏圣城四十二个月。 3 我要赐权柄给我的两个见证人，他们将身穿麻衣，传道一千二百六十天。”
4 这两位见证人就是竖立在世界之主面前的那两棵橄榄树和两座灯台。 5 若有人要伤害他们，他们便从口中喷出火焰，烧灭敌人；若有人企图加害他们，必定会这样被杀。 6 他们拥有权能，在传道期间可以关闭天空使雨不降在地上，又有权使水变成血，并随时用各样的灾祸击打世界。
7 当他们做完见证以后，从无底坑上来的兽要和他们交战，并战胜他们，把他们杀掉。 8 他们便陈尸在大城的街上，这大城按寓意名叫所多玛，又名埃及，是他们的主被钉在十字架上的地方。 9 三天半之久，他们的尸体不得埋葬，各民族、各部落、各语言族群、各国家的人都观看他们的尸体。 10 地上万民便兴高采烈，互相送礼道贺，因为这两位先知曾使地上的人受苦。
11 三天半过后，上帝的生命之气进入二人里面，他们便站立起来。看见的人都害怕极了！ 12 接着天上有大声音呼唤他们说：“上这里来！”他们就在敌人的注视下驾云升上天去。 13 就在那一刻，发生了强烈的地震，那座城的十分之一倒塌了，因地震死亡的共七千人，生还者都在恐惧中将荣耀归给天上的上帝。
14 第二样灾难过去了，第三样灾难又接踵而来！
第七位天使吹号
15 第七位天使吹响号角的时候，天上有大声音说：“世上的国度现在已经属于我们的主和祂所立的基督了。祂要做王，直到永永远远。” 16 在上帝面前，坐在自己座位上的二十四位长老都一同俯伏敬拜上帝，说：
17 “主啊！昔在、今在的全能上帝啊！
我们感谢你，
因你已施展大能做王了。
18 世上的列国曾向你发怒，
现在是你向他们发烈怒的日子了。
时候已到，你要审判死人，
你要赏赐你的奴仆、先知、圣徒
和一切不论尊卑敬畏你名的人，
你要毁灭那些毁坏世界的人。”
19 那时，天上上帝的圣殿敞开了，殿内的约柜清晰可见，又有闪电、巨响、雷鸣、地震和大冰雹。

6 These have the samchut (authority) to shut Shomayim, that no geshem (rain) may fall during the days of their nevu’ah (prophecy).

Revelation 11
Easy-to-Read Version
The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given a measuring rod as long as a walking stick. I was told, “Go and measure the temple[a] of God and the altar, and count the people worshiping there. 2 But don’t measure the yard outside the temple. Leave it alone. It has been given to those who are not God’s people. They will show their power over the holy city for 42 months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses. And they will prophesy for 1260 days. They will be dressed in sackcloth.”
4 These two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 If anyone tries to hurt the witnesses, fire comes from the mouths of the witnesses and kills their enemies. Anyone who tries to hurt them will die like this. 6 These witnesses have the power to stop the sky from raining during the time they are prophesying. These witnesses have power to make the water become blood. They have power to send every kind of plague to the earth. They can do this as many times as they want.
7 When the two witnesses have finished telling their message, the beast will fight against them. This is the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit. It will defeat and kill them. 8 The bodies of the two witnesses will lie in the street of the great city. This city is named Sodom and Egypt. These names for the city have a special meaning. This is the city where the Lord was killed. 9 People from every race of people, tribe, language, and nation will look at the bodies of the two witnesses for three and a half days. The people will refuse to bury them. 10 Everyone on the earth will be happy because these two are dead. They will have parties and send each other gifts. They will do this because these two prophets brought much suffering to the people living on earth.
11 But after three and a half days, God let life enter the two witnesses again. They stood on their feet. All those who saw them were filled with fear. 12 Then the two witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven say, “Come up here!” And both of them went up into heaven in a cloud. Their enemies watched them go.
13 At that same time there was a great earthquake. A tenth of the city was destroyed. And 7000 people were killed in the earthquake. Those who did not die were very afraid. They gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second terror is now past. The third terror is coming soon.
The Seventh Trumpet Blast
15 The seventh angel blew his trumpet. Then there were loud voices in heaven. The voices said,
“The kingdom of the world has now become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah.
And he will rule forever and ever.”
16 Then the 24 elders bowed down on their faces and worshiped God. These are the elders who sit on their thrones before God. 17 The elders said,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God All-Powerful.
You are the one who is and who always was.
We thank you because you have used your great power
and have begun to rule.
18 The people of the world were angry,
but now is the time for your anger.
Now is the time for the dead to be judged.
It is time to reward your servants, the prophets,
and to reward your holy people,
the people, great and small, who respect you.
It is time to destroy those people who destroy the earth!”
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened. The Box of the Agreement[b] could be seen in his temple. Then there were flashes of lightning, noises, thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.

- Revelation 11:1 temple God’s house—the place where God’s people worship and serve him. Here, John sees it pictured as the special building in Jerusalem for Jewish worship. Also in verse 19.
- Revelation 11:19 Box of the Agreement This is like the special box kept in the Most Holy Place of the Israelite Holy Tent and, later, the Jerusalem Temple, which contained “proof” of the agreement between God and his people. See “Box of the Agreement” in the Word List.
