启示录 11
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
两位见证人
11 接着,我被赐予了一根仿佛量杖的芦苇。有声音对我[a]说[b]:“起来,量一量神的圣所和祭坛,数一数在那里敬拜的人。 2 不过要排除圣所外面的院子,不要测量它,因为那里已经给了外邦人。外邦人将要践踏圣城四十二个月[c]。 3 我将赐能力[d]给我的两个见证人,他们将披着麻衣,做先知传道[e]一千二百六十天[f]。” 4 这两个人就是站在大地之主[g]面前的那两棵橄榄树、那两座灯台。 5 如果有人想要伤害他们,火就从他们的口中出来,吞灭他们的敌人;如果有人想要伤害他们,就必定这样被杀。 6 这两个人[h]有权柄闭塞天空,使雨水在他们做先知传道[i]的日子不降下来;又有权柄统管众水,使水变成血,并且能随时随意用各样灾害击打大地。
见证人殉道
7 他们做完了见证以后,那从无底坑里上来的兽将与他们作战,并且将胜过他们,把他们杀死。 8 他们的尸体会被抛[j]在大城的街道[k]上。这大城按属灵的意思叫做所多玛,又叫做埃及,也就是他们的主被钉十字架的地方。 9 来自各民族、各支派、各语言群体和各国家的人,都要观看他们的尸体三天半,又不准人把他们的尸体安放在坟墓里。 10 住在地上的人都因他们的死[l]而欢喜、庆祝,并且要彼此送礼,因为这两位先知曾使住在地上的人受痛苦。
见证人复活
11 可是三天半之后,有从神而来的生命气息[m]进入他们里面,他们就站立起来了。于是强烈的恐惧临到那些观看他们的人。 12 随后,两位先知[n]听见一个大声音从天上传来,对他们说:“上到这里来!”他们就在云中升到天上去了,他们的敌人也看见了。 13 就在那时刻,发生了大地震,那城的十分之一倒塌了,在地震中死去的有七千人。其余的人都感到害怕,把荣耀归给天上的神。 14 第二个灾祸过去了。看哪,第三个灾祸快要来临了。
吹第七支号
15 第七位天使吹响号角,天上就有大声音说:
“世上的国度已经属于
我们主和他的基督;
他将做王,直到永永远远!”
16 于是,那些在神面前坐在自己座位[o]上的二十四位长老,就把脸伏在地上,敬拜神, 17 说:
“主、神、全能者啊,今在、昔在[p]的那一位啊!我们感谢你!
因为你得了你的大权能,做王了。
18 列国发怒了,可是你的震怒临到了,
你审判死人的时候到了,
你向你的奴仆先知们、圣徒们、敬畏你名的人,
无论卑微尊贵,赐报偿的时候到了,
你毁灭那些败坏大地之人的时候也到了。”
19 随后,神在天上的圣所开了,他的约柜[q]在他圣所中显现。接着有闪电、声音、雷鸣、地震[r]和大冰雹。

Revelation 11
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, ‘Come and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months. 3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth.’
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes; anyone who wants to harm them must be killed in this manner. 6 They have authority to shut the sky, so that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.
7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that is prophetically[a] called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days members of the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb; 10 and the inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to the inhabitants of the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days, the breath[b] of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and those who saw them were terrified. 12 Then they[c] heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, ‘Come up here!’ And they went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies watched them. 13 At that moment 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 has passed. The third woe is coming very soon.
The Seventh Trumpet
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord
and of his Messiah,[d]
and he will reign for ever and ever.’
16 Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshipped God, 17 singing,
‘We give you thanks, Lord God Almighty,
who are and who were,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but your wrath has come,
and the time for judging the dead,
for rewarding your servants,[e] the prophets
and saints and all who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.’
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

Revelation 11
New International Version
The Two Witnesses
11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod(A) and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court;(B) do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.(C) They will trample on the holy city(D) for 42 months.(E) 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses,(F) and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,(G) clothed in sackcloth.”(H) 4 They are “the two olive trees”(I) and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a](J) 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.(K) This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.(L) 6 They have power to shut up the heavens(M) so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;(N) and they have power to turn the waters into blood(O) and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast(P) that comes up from the Abyss(Q) will attack them,(R) and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city(S)—which is figuratively called Sodom(T) and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.(U) 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation(V) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.(W) 10 The inhabitants of the earth(X) will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,(Y) because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days(Z) the breath[b] of life from God entered them,(AA) and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”(AB) And they went up to heaven in a cloud,(AC) while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake(AD) and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory(AE) to the God of heaven.(AF)
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.(AG)
The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(AH) and there were loud voices(AI) in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,(AJ)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”(AK)
16 And the twenty-four elders,(AL) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces(AM) and worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give thanks(AN) to you, Lord God Almighty,(AO)
the One who is and who was,(AP)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(AQ)
18 The nations were angry,(AR)
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,(AS)
and for rewarding your servants the prophets(AT)
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small(AU)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple(AV) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.(AW) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,(AX) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.(AY)
