 神忿怒的七碗

16 我听见有大声音从圣所里发出来,向那七位天使说:“你们去,把 神烈怒的七碗倒在地上!”

第一位天使去了,把碗倒在地上,就有恶性的毒疮,生在那些有兽的记号和拜兽像的人身上。

第二位天使把碗倒在海里,海水就变成好象死人的血,海里的一切生物都死了。

第三位天使把碗倒在江河和众水的泉源里,水就变成了血。 我听见掌管众水的天使说:

“今在昔在的圣者啊!

你这样审判是公义的,

因为他们曾流圣徒和先知的血,

现在你给他们血喝,

这是他们该受的。”

我又听见祭坛中有声音说:

“是的,主啊!全能的 神,

你的审判真实、公义!”

第四位天使把碗倒在太阳上,太阳就得了能力,可以用火烤人。 人被高热烧烤,就亵渎那有权柄掌管这些灾难的 神的名,并不悔改,把荣耀归给他。

10 第五位天使把碗倒在兽的座位上,兽的国就黑暗了。人因为痛苦就咬自己的舌头。 11 他们又因为所受的痛苦和所生的疮,亵渎天上的 神,并不为自己所作的悔改。

12 第六位天使把碗倒在幼发拉底大河上,河水就干了,为了要给那些从东方来的王预备道路。 13 我看见三个污灵,好象青蛙从龙口、兽口和假先知的口中出来。 14 他们原是鬼魔的灵,施行奇事;牠们到普天下的众王那里去,叫他们在全能 神的大日聚集作战。 15 (看哪,我来像贼一样!那警醒、看守自己衣服的是有福的!他就不至于赤身行走,让人看见他的羞耻。) 16 污灵就把众王聚集在一个地方,希伯来话叫哈米吉多顿。

17 第七位天使把碗倒在空中,就有大声音从圣所的宝座上发出来,说:“成了!” 18 于是有闪电、响声、雷轰和大地震,自从地上有人以来,没发生过这么大的地震, 19 那大城裂为三段,列国的城也都倒塌了。 神也想起巴比伦大城来,要把自己烈怒的酒杯递给它。 20 各海岛都逃避了,众山也不见了。 21 有大冰雹从天上落在人的身上,每块重约四十公斤。由于这冰雹的灾,人就亵渎 神,因为这灾太严重了。

16 我聽見殿中有宏亮的聲音對七位天使說:「去將那盛滿上帝烈怒的七個碗傾倒在地上。」

第一位天使離去,將碗倒在了地上,那些有怪獸的印記、敬拜獸像的人身上長出奇痛無比的毒瘡。

第二位天使將碗倒在了海洋裡,海水變得像死人的血,海中的活物都死光了。

第三位天使將碗倒在了江河與水泉裡,水就變成了血。 我聽見掌管各水源的天使說:

「昔在今在的聖者啊!
你是公義的,
因為你施行了審判。
由於他們流了眾聖徒和先知們的血,
現在你使他們喝血,
這正是他們應得的報應。」

我又聽見從祭壇發出的聲音說:

「是的,全能的主上帝,
你的判決真實公義。」

第四位天使將碗倒在太陽上,太陽就變得炙熱如火,可以灼傷人。 人們被炙熱灼傷,就褻瀆掌管這些災禍的上帝的名,他們毫無悔意,不肯歸榮耀給上帝。

10 第五位天使將碗倒在那海中怪獸的座位上,牠的國便被黑暗籠罩,牠的國民痛苦難當,咬自己的舌頭。 11 他們因為痛苦和毒瘡就褻瀆天上的上帝,不肯為自己的所作所為悔改。

12 第六位天使將碗倒在幼發拉底大河上,河水立刻乾了,為東方各國的王預備了道路。 13 我又看見三個像青蛙一樣的污鬼分別從巨龍、怪獸和假先知的口裡跳出來。 14 其實牠們都是鬼魔的靈,能行奇蹟。牠們到普天下召集各王,預備在全能上帝的大日子來臨時聚集爭戰。

15 「看啊!我要像賊一樣出其不意地來到。那警醒等候,看守自己衣裳,不致赤身行走蒙受羞辱的人有福了。」

16 鬼魔把眾王召集到一個希伯來話叫哈米吉多頓的地方。

17 第七位天使將碗倒在空中時,從殿裡的寶座上傳出響亮的聲音說:「成了!」 18 隨後雷電交加,伴隨著巨響,還有空前劇烈的大地震。 19 巴比倫大城裂作三段,其他各國的城邑也都倒塌了。上帝並沒有忘記巴比倫大城的罪惡,要把那杯盛滿祂烈怒的酒給她喝。 20 海島都沉沒了,山嶺也都不見了, 21 又有重達三十四公斤[a]的巨型冰雹從天而降,打在世人身上。世人無法忍受這極大的災禍,就褻瀆上帝。

The Seven Bowls

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying (A)to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the [a]bowls (B)of the wrath of God on the earth.”

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

So the first went and poured out his bowl (C)upon the earth, and a [b]foul and (D)loathsome sore came upon the men (E)who had the mark of the beast and those (F)who worshiped his image.

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

Then the second angel poured out his bowl (G)on the sea, and (H)it became blood as of a dead man; (I)and every living creature in the sea died.

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

Then the third angel poured out his bowl (J)on the rivers and springs of water, (K)and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

(L)“You are righteous, [c]O Lord,
The One (M)who is and who [d]was and who is to be,
Because You have judged these things.
For (N)they have shed the blood (O)of saints and prophets,
(P)And You have given them blood to drink.
[e]For it is their just due.”

And I heard [f]another from the altar saying, “Even so, (Q)Lord God Almighty, (R)true and righteous are Your judgments.”

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched

Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl (S)on the sun, (T)and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they (U)blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; (V)and they did not repent (W)and give Him glory.

Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl (X)on the throne of the beast, (Y)and his kingdom became full of darkness; (Z)and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. 11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl (AA)on the great river Euphrates, (AB)and its water was dried up, (AC)so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean (AD)spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of (AE)the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of (AF)the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, (AG)performing signs, which go out to the kings [g]of the earth and of (AH)the whole world, to gather them to (AI)the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 (AJ)“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, (AK)lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

16 (AL)And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, [h]Armageddon.

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, (AM)“It is done!” 18 And (AN)there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; (AO)and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake (AP)as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now (AQ)the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And (AR)great Babylon (AS)was remembered before God, (AT)to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then (AU)every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
