Revelation 10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Mighty Angel and the Small Scroll
10 Then I saw another mighty angel(A) coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow(B) over his head.[a] His face was like the sun, his legs[b] were like fiery pillars,(C) 2 and he had a little scroll opened in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea, his left on the land, 3 and he cried out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders said,(D) and do not write it down!”
5 Then the angel that I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. 6 He swore an oath by the One who lives forever and ever,(E) 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 no longer be an interval of time,[c] 7 but in the days of the sound of the seventh angel,(F) when he will blow his trumpet, then God’s hidden plan(G) will be completed, as He announced to His servants[d] the prophets.”(H)
8 Now the voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take and eat it; it will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”(I)
10 Then I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I ate it, my stomach became bitter.(J) 11 And I was told,[e] “You must prophesy again about[f] many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”(K)

Pahayag 10
Ang Salita ng Diyos
Ang Anghel at ang Maliit na Balumbon na Aklat
10 Nakita ko ang isa pang malakas na anghel na bumababang mula sa langit na nadaramtan ng ulap na may bahag-hari sa kaniyang ulo. Ang kaniyang mukha ay katulad ng araw at ang kaniyang mga paa ay katulad ng mga paa ng haligi ng apoy.
2 Mayroon siyang isang bukas na munting aklat sa kaniyang kamay. Ang kaniyang kanang paa ay nakatuntong sa dagat at ang kaniyang kaliwang paa ay sa lupa. 3 Sumigaw siya nang malakas na tinig na katulad ng leong umaatungal. At nang sumigaw siya, ang pitong kulog ay nagsalita sa pamamagitan ng kani-kanilang mga tinig. 4 Nang magsalita ang mga kulog sa pamamagitan ng kani-kanilang mga tinig, susulat na sana ako. At narinig ko ang isang tinig mula sa langit. Sinabi nito sa akin: Selyuhan ang sinabi ng pitong kulog. Huwag mong isulat ang kanilang mga salita.
5 Ang anghel na nakita kong nakatayo sa dagat at sa lupa ay nagtaas ng kaniyang kamay sa langit. 6 Siya ay sumumpa sa pamamagitan niya na nabubuhay sa magpakailan pa man, na lumalang ng langit at ng mga bagay na naroon, ang lupa at ang mga bagay rito, ang dagat at ang mga bagay rito at sinabi ng anghel: Hindi na maaaring ipagpaliban pa. 7 Subalit sa mga araw na hihipan na ng ikapitong anghel ang kaniyang trumpeta, matatapos na ang hiwaga ng Diyos katulad nang pagpapahayag ng ebangelyo sa kaniyang mga alipin na mga propeta.
8 At ang tinig na aking narinig mula sa langit ay muling nagsasabi sa akin: Yumaon ka. Kunin mo ang bukas na munting aklat sa kamay ng anghel na nakatuntong sa ibabaw ng dagat at sa ibabaw ng lupa.
9 At ako ay pumunta sa anghel at sinabi ko sa kaniya: Ibigay mo sa akin ang munting balumbon. At sinabi niya sa akin: Kunin mo at kainin mong lahat ito. Paaasimin nito ang iyong tiyan. Ngunit sa iyong bibig, matamis itong katulad ng pulot. 10 At kinuha ko ang munting aklat mula sa kamay ng anghel. Kinain kong lahat ito. Sa aking bibig ay matamis itong katulad ng pulot. Nang kainin ko ito, naging mapait ang tiyan ko. 11 At sinabi niya sa akin: Dapat na ihayag mong muli ang patungkol sa mga tao, sa mga bansa, sa mga wika at sa mga hari.

New King James Version
The Mighty Angel with the Little Book
10 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. (A)And a rainbow was on (B)his head, his face was like the sun, and (C)his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. (D)And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, (E)seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders [a]uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying [b]to me, (F)“Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”
5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land (G)raised up his [c]hand to heaven 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, (H)who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, (I)that there should be delay no longer, 7 but (J)in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
John Eats the Little Book
8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”
9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.”
And he said to me, (K)“Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
10 Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, (L)and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, (M)my stomach became bitter. 11 And [d]he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
