Ang Anghel at ang Maliit na Kasulatan

10 Pagkaraan nito, nakita ko ang isa pang makapangyarihang anghel na bumababa mula sa langit. Siya'y nababalot ng ulap at may bahaghari sa kanyang ulunan. Nagniningning na parang araw ang kanyang mukha, at parang mga haliging apoy ang kanyang mga binti. May hawak siyang isang maliit na aklat na nakabukas. Itinuntong niya sa dagat ang kanyang kanang paa, at sa lupa naman ang kaliwa. Sumigaw siya, at ang kanyang tinig ay parang atungal ng leon. Tinugon siya ng dagundong ng pitong kulog. Isusulat ko sana ang aking nasaksihan nang matapos ang dagundong. Ngunit narinig ko mula sa langit ang isang tinig na nagsabi, “Ilihim mo ang sinabi ng pitong kulog, huwag mo nang isulat!”

At(A) itinaas ng anghel na nakita kong nakatuntong sa dagat at sa lupa ang kanyang kanang kamay at nanumpa sa pangalan ng Diyos na nabubuhay magpakailanman na siyang lumikha ng langit, lupa, dagat, at ng lahat ng naroroon. Sinabi ng anghel, “Hindi na magtatagal! Sa araw na hipan ng ikapitong anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, isasagawa na ng Diyos ang lihim niyang plano, gaya ng ipinahayag niya sa mga propeta na kanyang mga lingkod.”

Pagkatapos(B) ay kinausap akong muli ng tinig na narinig kong nagsasalita mula sa langit, “Lumapit ka sa anghel na nakatuntong sa dagat at sa lupa, at kunin mo ang hawak niyang aklat na nakabukas.” Nilapitan ko nga ang anghel at hiningi ang aklat. Sinabi niya sa akin, “Kunin mo ito at kainin; mapait iyan sa sikmura, ngunit sa iyong bibig ay kasingtamis ng pulot-pukyutan.” 10 Kinuha ko nga mula sa kamay ng anghel ang maliit na aklat at kinain ko ito. Matamis nga iyon, parang pulot-pukyutan sa bibig, ngunit nang malunok ko na'y pumait ang aking sikmura.

11 At sinabi nila sa akin, “Kailangang ipahayag mong muli ang mga propesiya tungkol sa mga tao, bansa, wika, at mga hari.”

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)

The Angel with the Little Scroll

10 And I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. He held a little scroll open in his hand. Setting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, he gave a great shout, like a lion roaring. And when he shouted, the seven thunders sounded. And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, ‘Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.’ Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and the land

raised his right hand to heaven
    and swore by him who lives for ever and ever,

who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: ‘There will be no more delay, but in the days when the seventh angel is to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, as he announced to his servants[a] the prophets.’

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, ‘Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.’ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, ‘Take it, and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth.’ 10 So I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it; it was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

11 Then they said to me, ‘You must prophesy again about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.’
