The Song of Moses, the Song of the Lamb

15 I saw another Sign in Heaven, huge and breathtaking: seven Angels with seven disasters. These are the final disasters, the wrap-up of God’s wrath.

2-4 I saw something like a sea made of glass, the glass all shot through with fire. Carrying harps of God, triumphant over the Beast, its image, and the number of its name, the saved ones stood on the sea of glass. They sang the Song of Moses, servant of God; they sang the Song of the Lamb:

Mighty your acts and marvelous,
    O God, the Sovereign-Strong!
Righteous your ways and true,
    King of the nations!
Who can fail to fear you, God,
    give glory to your Name?
Because you and you only are holy,
    all nations will come and worship you,
    because they see your judgments are right.

5-8 Then I saw the doors of the Temple, the Tent of Witness in Heaven, open wide. The Seven Angels carrying the seven disasters came out of the Temple. They were dressed in clean, bright linen and wore gold vests. One of the Four Animals handed the Seven Angels seven gold bowls, brimming with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. Smoke from God’s glory and power poured out of the Temple. No one was permitted to enter the Temple until the seven disasters of the Seven Angels were finished.

摩西的歌和羔羊的歌

15 我看見天上又有一個宏大奇異的景象,有七位天使掌管著最後的七種災禍,上帝要藉這些災禍發盡祂的烈怒。 我看見一個好像夾雜著火的玻璃海,玻璃海上站著那些戰勝怪獸、獸像及獸名代號的人。他們手裡拿著上帝所賜的豎琴, 口裡唱著上帝的奴僕摩西的歌和羔羊的歌:

「全能的主上帝啊,
你的作為偉大奇妙!
萬國的王啊,
你的道路公義真實!
主啊,誰敢不敬畏你,
不尊崇你的名呢?
因為只有你是聖潔的,
萬民都必到你面前敬拜你,
因為你公義的作為已經彰顯出來了。」

天使降七災

這事之後,我看見天上存放約櫃的聖殿打開了。 那掌管七種災禍的七位天使都從殿中出來,身穿潔白發光的細麻布衣服,胸佩金帶。 四個活物中的一個將七隻金碗分別交給七位天使,碗中盛滿了永活上帝的烈怒。 殿裡因為上帝的榮耀和權能而煙霧彌漫,人們必須等到七位天使將七樣災禍降完,才能進入聖殿。
