De twee getuigen
11 Ik kreeg een rietstengel als meetlat en er werd tegen mij gezegd: ‘Sta op, meet de tempel van God op en het altaar dat erin staat, en tel de mensen die Hem daar aanbidden. 2 Maar meet het plein voor de tempel niet op, want dat is voor de vreemde volken bestemd. Zij zullen de heilige stad tweeënveertig maanden lang vertrappen. 3 Dan zal Ik mijn twee getuigen sturen. Zij zullen rouwkleren dragen en tijdens die twaalfhonderdzestig dagen zeggen wat Ik hun opdraag.’ 4 Deze twee getuigen zijn de twee olijfbomen en de twee kandelaars die voor de Here van de hele aarde staan. 5 Als iemand probeert hen kwaad te doen, komt er vuur uit hun mond, waardoor hun vijanden worden verteerd. Zo zal ieder gedood worden die hen kwaad wil doen. 6 Zij hebben de macht de hemel te sluiten, zodat er geen regen valt in de tijd dat zij als profeet namens God spreken. Zij hebben ook de macht al het water in bloed te veranderen en de wereld met allerlei rampen te teisteren, zo vaak zij dat willen.
7 Als zij klaar zijn met hun getuigenis, zal het beest uit de onderwereld opkomen en hun de oorlog aandoen. Het zal hen overwinnen en doden.
8 Hun lijken zullen drieëneenhalve dag op straat blijven liggen in de grote stad die symbolisch Sodom en Egypte heet, de stad waar ook hun Heer gekruisigd is. 9 Van over de hele wereld zullen mensen ernaar komen kijken en men zal niet toestaan dat ze begraven worden. 10 De bewoners van de aarde zullen blij zijn dat de twee profeten die namens God gesproken hebben, niet meer leven, omdat die hen gekweld hebben. Zij zullen feestvieren en elkaar geschenken sturen.
11 Maar na drieëneenhalve dag liet God een geest van leven in hen komen en stonden ze weer op. Ieder die dat zag, werd vreselijk bang. 12 Toen hoorden de twee profeten een luide stem uit de hemel zeggen: ‘Kom hierheen omhoog!’ Voor de ogen van hun vijanden gingen zij in een wolk naar de hemel.
13 Op dat moment kwam er een zware aardbeving. Een tiende deel van de stad werd volledig verwoest en zevenduizend mensen kwamen om. De mensen die het er levend afbrachten, wisten niet waar zij het zoeken moesten en begonnen de God van de hemel te eren. 14 De twee rampen zijn voorbij, maar kijk, de derde komt er direct achteraan!
15 De zevende engel blies op zijn bazuin en luide stemmen in de hemel zeiden: ‘Nu hebben onze Here en zijn Christus de heerschappij over de hele wereld. Hij zal er voor altijd en eeuwig over heersen.’
16 De vierentwintig ouderlingen die voor God op hun troon zaten, vielen in aanbidding voor Hem neer en zeiden: 17 ‘Here, Almachtige God, die is en die was, wij danken U dat U de macht in handen hebt genomen en het koningschap hebt aanvaard.
18 De volken waren slecht, maar nu is uw toorn gekomen. Dit is de tijd om de doden te oordelen, om uw dienaren—de profeten en allen die bij U horen en ontzag voor U hebben, groot en klein—te belonen en om allen te verwoesten die van de aarde een woestenij maken.’ 19 Gods tempel in de hemel ging open en de ark van zijn verbond met de mensen was te zien. Het bliksemde, rommelde en donderde, er kwam een aardbeving en een vreselijke hagelbui.

Ang Dalawang Saksi
11 Pagkatapos,(A) binigyan ako ng isang panukat na parang tungkod at sinabihan, “Tumayo ka at sukatin mo ang templo ng Diyos at ang dambana, at bilangin mo ang mga sumasamba roon. 2 Ngunit(B) huwag mo nang sukatin ang mga bulwagan sa labas ng templo, sapagkat ibinigay na iyon sa mga taong di-kumikilala sa Diyos. Yuyurakan nila ang Banal na Lungsod sa loob ng apatnapu't dalawang buwan. 3 Isusugo ko ang dalawa kong saksi na nakadamit ng sako, at sa loob ng isang libo, dalawandaan at animnapung (1,260) araw ay ipahahayag nila ang mensaheng mula sa Diyos.”
4 Ang(C) mga saksing ito ay ang dalawang punong olibo at dalawang ilawang nakatayo sa harap ng Panginoon ng daigdig. 5 Kapag may nagtangkang manakit sa kanila, may lalabas na apoy sa kanilang bibig at tutupukin ang kanilang mga kaaway. Sa ganoong paraa'y mamamatay ang sinumang magtangkang manakit sa kanila. 6 May(D) kapangyarihan silang isara ang langit upang hindi umulan sa panahon ng pagpapahayag nila ng mensaheng mula sa Diyos. May kapangyarihan din silang gawing dugo ang tubig, at magpadala ng anumang salot sa lupa tuwing naisin nila.
7 Pagkatapos(E) nilang magpatotoo, aahon ang halimaw na nasa napakalalim na hukay at makikipaglaban sa kanila. Matatalo sila at mapapatay ng halimaw, 8 at(F) ang kanilang bangkay ay mahahandusay sa lansangan ng dakilang lungsod, na ang patalinghagang pangalan ay Sodoma o Egipto, kung saan ipinako sa krus ang kanilang Panginoon. 9 Sa loob ng tatlo't kalahating araw, ang kanilang mga bangkay ay pagmamasdan ng mga tao mula sa iba't ibang lahi, lipi, wika, at bansa, at hindi papayag ang mga ito na mailibing ang mga bangkay. 10 Magagalak ang lahat ng tao sa daigdig dahil sa pagkamatay ng dalawang saksi. Magdiriwang sila at magbibigayan ng mga regalo sapagkat ang dalawang propetang iyon ay nagdulot sa kanila ng labis na kahirapan.
11 Pagkalipas(G) ng tatlo't kalahating araw, pumasok sa kanila ang hininga ng buhay mula sa Diyos. Sila'y tumayo at labis na nasindak ang mga nakakita sa kanila. 12 Pagkatapos(H) ay narinig nilang nagsalita ang isang malakas na tinig mula sa langit, “Umakyat kayo rito!” At habang nakatingin ang kanilang mga kaaway, umakyat sila sa langit habang nakasakay sa ulap. 13 Nang(I) oras ding iyon ay lumindol nang napakalakas at nawasak ang ikasampung bahagi ng lungsod at pitong libong tao ang namatay. Ang mga natirang tao ay natakot, at niluwalhati nila ang Diyos ng kalangitan.
14 Natapos na ang ikalawang lagim, at ang ikatlong lagim ay malapit na.
Ang Ikapitong Trumpeta
15 Pagkatapos ay hinipan(J) ng ikapitong anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at sa langit ay may malalakas na tinig na nagsabi, “Ang paghahari sa sanlibutan ay paghahari na ngayon ng ating Panginoon at ng kanyang Cristo. Maghahari siya magpakailanman!”
16 At ang dalawampu't apat (24) na matatandang pinuno na nakaupo sa kani-kanilang trono sa harapan ng Diyos ay nagpatirapa at sumamba sa kanya. 17 Sinabi nila,
“Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, na siyang kasalukuyan, at ang nakaraan!
Nagpapasalamat kami na ginamit mo ang iyong walang hanggang kapangyarihan
at nagpasimula ka nang maghari!
18 Galit na galit(K) ang mga bansang di-kumikilala sa iyo,
dahil dumating na ang panahon ng iyong poot,
ang paghatol sa mga patay,
at pagbibigay ng gantimpala sa mga propetang lingkod mo,
at sa iyong mga hinirang, sa lahat ng may takot sa iyo,
dakila man o hamak.
Panahon na upang wasakin mo ang mga nagwawasak sa daigdig.”
19 At(L) nabuksan ang templo ng Diyos sa langit, at nakita ang Kaban ng Tipan sa loob nito. Pagkatapos ay kumidlat, dumagundong, kumulog, lumindol at umulan ng batong yelo.

The Two Witnesses
11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod(A) and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court;(B) do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.(C) They will trample on the holy city(D) for 42 months.(E) 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses,(F) and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,(G) clothed in sackcloth.”(H) 4 They are “the two olive trees”(I) and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a](J) 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.(K) This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.(L) 6 They have power to shut up the heavens(M) so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;(N) and they have power to turn the waters into blood(O) and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast(P) that comes up from the Abyss(Q) will attack them,(R) and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city(S)—which is figuratively called Sodom(T) and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.(U) 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation(V) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.(W) 10 The inhabitants of the earth(X) will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,(Y) because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days(Z) the breath[b] of life from God entered them,(AA) and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”(AB) And they went up to heaven in a cloud,(AC) while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake(AD) and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory(AE) to the God of heaven.(AF)
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.(AG)
The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(AH) and there were loud voices(AI) in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,(AJ)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”(AK)
16 And the twenty-four elders,(AL) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces(AM) and worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give thanks(AN) to you, Lord God Almighty,(AO)
the One who is and who was,(AP)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(AQ)
18 The nations were angry,(AR)
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,(AS)
and for rewarding your servants the prophets(AT)
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small(AU)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple(AV) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.(AW) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,(AX) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.(AY)

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.

11 And there was given to me a reed like a staff, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it.
2 And the court which [is] without the temple cast out, and measure it not; because it has been given [up] to the nations, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months.
3 And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth;
5 and if any one wills to injure them, fire goes out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. And if any one wills to injure them, thus must he be killed.
6 These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall during the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague.
7 And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast who comes up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and shall conquer them, and shall kill them:
8 and their body [shall be] on the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
9 And [men] of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their body three days and a half, and they do not suffer their bodies to be put into a sepulchre.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth rejoice over them, and are full of delight, and shall send gifts one to another, because these, the two prophets, tormented them that dwell upon the earth.
11 And after the three days and a half [the] spirit of life from God came into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those beholding them.
12 And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, Come up here; and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.
13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were slain in the earthquake. And the remnant were filled with fear, and gave glory to the God of the heaven.
14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe comes quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded [his] trumpet: and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world of our Lord and of his Christ is come, and he shall reign to the ages of ages.
16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 saying, We give thee thanks, Lord God Almighty, [He] who is, and who was, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast reigned.
18 And the nations have been full of wrath, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the recompense to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear thy name, small and great; and to destroy those that destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God in the heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
