天使和小书卷

10 然后,我看见另一位强大的天使从天堂而降,他身披云雾,头绕彩虹,面如太阳,腿像火柱。 他手执一卷展开的小书轴,右脚踩在海里,左脚踏在地上。 他高声呼喊,像狮子咆哮一般。当他高声呼喊时,七雷发出了声音。 七雷说话时,我正要记录,但却听见一个来自天堂的声音说∶“七雷之言不可泄露,你不要写下来。”

我看到那脚踏海陆的天使朝天堂举起右手, 指着那创造了天地、海洋和其中万物的永生的上帝,发誓说∶“不要再拖延了! 待到第七位天使吹响号角时,上帝就要实现他向自己的仆人和先知所宣告的秘密了。”

接着,我又听到那个来自天堂的声音对我说∶“去把那脚踏在海陆的天使手中的书轴拿来。”

于是我走过去向那位天使要小书轴,他对我说∶“把书轴拿去,吃掉。你吃起来觉得像蜜一样甜,但是它会让你的胃酸痛。” 10 于是我从天使手中接过小书轴,吃了下去。在我嘴里果然像蜜一样甜,但一吃下去,胃就开始泛酸。 11 然后,他告诉我说∶“你必须再次为众多的民族、国家、说不同语言的人和国王讲说预言。

天使与小书卷

10 我又看见一位大力的天使从天上降下来,身披云彩,头上有彩虹,脸像太阳,两脚像火柱一样, 手里拿着展开的小书卷。他的右脚踏在海上,左脚踏在地上, 大声呼喊,好象狮子吼叫。他呼喊的时候,就有七雷发声说话。 七雷说话的时候,我正要写下来,就听见有声音从天上出来,说:“七雷所说的你要封住,不可写出来!” 我看见那站在海上和地上的天使,向天举起右手来, 指着那活到永永远远,创造天和天上之物、地和地上之物、海和海中之物的 神起誓,说:“必不再延迟了! 到第七位天使吹号的时候, 神向他的仆人众先知所宣告的奥秘,就要实现了。”

我先前听见那从天上来的声音又对我说:“你去,把那站在海上和地上的天使手中展开的书卷拿过来。” 我就走到天使那里,请他把小书卷给我。他对我说:“你拿着,吃下去。它必使你肚子苦涩,但是口里却好象蜜一样甘甜。” 10 我把小书卷从天使手中拿过来,吃了,在口里果然甘甜如蜜;但是吃完之后,我肚子就觉得苦涩。 11 他们又对我说:“论到许多民族、邦国、方言和君王,你必须再说预言。”

The Angel and the Little Scroll

10 Then I saw another mighty angel(A) coming down from heaven.(B) He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow(C) above his head; his face was like the sun,(D) and his legs were like fiery pillars.(E) He was holding a little scroll,(F) which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,(G) and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion.(H) When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders(I) spoke. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write;(J) but I heard a voice from heaven(K) say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”(L)

Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land(M) raised his right hand to heaven.(N) And he swore(O) by him who lives for ever and ever,(P) who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,(Q) and said, “There will be no more delay!(R) But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet,(S) the mystery(T) of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”(U)

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven(V) spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll(W) that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’[a](X) 10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth,(Y) but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy(Z) again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”(AA)

Footnotes

  1. Revelation 10:9 Ezek. 3:3

10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
