啟示錄 11
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
兩位見證人
11 接著,我被賜予了一根彷彿量杖的蘆葦。有聲音對我[a]說[b]:「起來,量一量神的聖所和祭壇,數一數在那裡敬拜的人。 2 不過要排除聖所外面的院子,不要測量它,因為那裡已經給了外邦人。外邦人將要踐踏聖城四十二個月[c]。 3 我將賜能力[d]給我的兩個見證人,他們將披著麻衣,做先知傳道[e]一千二百六十天[f]。」 4 這兩個人就是站在大地之主[g]面前的那兩棵橄欖樹、那兩座燈臺。 5 如果有人想要傷害他們,火就從他們的口中出來,吞滅他們的敵人;如果有人想要傷害他們,就必定這樣被殺。 6 這兩個人[h]有權柄閉塞天空,使雨水在他們做先知傳道[i]的日子不降下來;又有權柄統管眾水,使水變成血,並且能隨時隨意用各樣災害擊打大地。
見證人殉道
7 他們做完了見證以後,那從無底坑裡上來的獸將與他們作戰,並且將勝過他們,把他們殺死。 8 他們的屍體會被拋[j]在大城的街道[k]上。這大城按屬靈的意思叫做所多瑪,又叫做埃及,也就是他們的主被釘十字架的地方。 9 來自各民族、各支派、各語言群體和各國家的人,都要觀看他們的屍體三天半,又不准人把他們的屍體安放在墳墓裡。 10 住在地上的人都因他們的死[l]而歡喜、慶祝,並且要彼此送禮,因為這兩位先知曾使住在地上的人受痛苦。
見證人復活
11 可是三天半之後,有從神而來的生命氣息[m]進入他們裡面,他們就站立起來了。於是強烈的恐懼臨到那些觀看他們的人。 12 隨後,兩位先知[n]聽見一個大聲音從天上傳來,對他們說:「上到這裡來!」他們就在雲中升到天上去了,他們的敵人也看見了。 13 就在那時刻,發生了大地震,那城的十分之一倒塌了,在地震中死去的有七千人。其餘的人都感到害怕,把榮耀歸給天上的神。 14 第二個災禍過去了。看哪,第三個災禍快要來臨了。
吹第七支號
15 第七位天使吹響號角,天上就有大聲音說:
「世上的國度已經屬於
我們主和他的基督;
他將做王,直到永永遠遠!」
16 於是,那些在神面前坐在自己座位[o]上的二十四位長老,就把臉伏在地上,敬拜神, 17 說:
「主、神、全能者啊,今在、昔在[p]的那一位啊!我們感謝你!
因為你得了你的大權能,做王了。
18 列國發怒了,可是你的震怒臨到了,
你審判死人的時候到了,
你向你的奴僕先知們、聖徒們、敬畏你名的人,
無論卑微尊貴,賜報償的時候到了,
你毀滅那些敗壞大地之人的時候也到了。」
19 隨後,神在天上的聖所開了,他的約櫃[q]在他聖所中顯現。接著有閃電、聲音、雷鳴、地震[r]和大冰雹。

Revelation 11
King James Version
11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 11
English Standard Version
The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given (A)a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure (B)the court outside the temple; leave that out, for (C)it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for (D)forty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for (E)1,260 days, (F)clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are (G)the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, (H)fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, (I)this is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power (J)to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and (K)to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, (L)the beast that rises from (M)the bottomless pit[a] (N)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 symbolically[b] is called (O)Sodom and (P)Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and (Q)refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and (R)those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and (S)exchange presents, because these two prophets (T)had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days (U)a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, (V)“Come up here!” And (W)they went up to heaven (X)in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And at that hour there was (Y)a great earthquake, and (Z)a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and (AA)gave glory to (AB)the God of heaven.
14 (AC)The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.
The Seventh Trumpet
15 Then (AD)the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and (AE)there were loud voices in heaven, saying, (AF)“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of (AG)his Christ, and (AH)he shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders (AI)who sit on their thrones before God (AJ)fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
(AK)who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and (AL)begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but (AM)your wrath came,
and (AN)the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
and (AO)those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and (AP)for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
19 Then (AQ)God's temple in heaven was opened, and (AR)the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings,[c] peals of thunder, an earthquake, and (AS)heavy hail.
