摩西的歌和羔羊的歌

15 我看见天上又有一个宏大奇异的景象,有七位天使掌管着最后的七种灾祸,上帝要借这些灾祸发尽祂的烈怒。 我看见一个好像夹杂着火的玻璃海,玻璃海上站着那些战胜怪兽、兽像及兽名代号的人。他们手里拿着上帝所赐的竖琴, 口里唱着上帝的奴仆摩西的歌和羔羊的歌:

“全能的主上帝啊,
你的作为伟大奇妙!
万国的王啊,
你的道路公义真实!
主啊,谁敢不敬畏你,
不尊崇你的名呢?
因为只有你是圣洁的,
万民都必到你面前敬拜你,
因为你公义的作为已经彰显出来了。”

天使降七灾

这事之后,我看见天上存放约柜的圣殿打开了。 那掌管七种灾祸的七位天使都从殿中出来,身穿洁白发光的细麻布衣服,胸佩金带。 四个活物中的一个将七只金碗分别交给七位天使,碗中盛满了永活上帝的烈怒。 殿里因为上帝的荣耀和权能而烟雾弥漫,人们必须等到七位天使将七样灾祸降完,才能进入圣殿。

A Scene of Heaven

15 Then I saw (A)another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, (B)seven angels who had (C)seven plagues, which are (D)the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished.

And I saw something like a (E)sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who (F)were victorious [a]over the (G)beast and (H)his image and the (I)number of his name, standing on the (J)sea of glass, holding (K)harps of God. And they *sang the (L)song of Moses, (M)the bond-servant of God, and the (N)song of the Lamb, saying,

(O)Great and marvelous are Your works,
(P)Lord God, the Almighty;
Righteous and true are Your ways,
(Q)King of the [b]nations!
(R)Who will not fear You, Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy;
For (S)all the nations will come and worship before You,
For Your [c](T)righteous acts have been revealed.”

After these things I looked, and (U)the [d]temple of the (V)tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened, and the (W)seven angels who had the seven plagues (X)came out of the [e]temple, clothed in [f]linen, clean and bright, and (Y)their chests wrapped with golden sashes. And one of the (Z)four living creatures gave the (AA)seven angels seven (AB)golden bowls full of the (AC)wrath of God, who (AD)lives forever and ever. And the [g]temple was filled with (AE)smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one was able to enter the [h]temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
