Revelation 11
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given a measuring reed(A) like a rod,[a] with these words: ‘Go[b] and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count those who worship there. 2 But exclude the courtyard outside the temple.(B) Don’t measure it, because it is given to the nations,[c](C) and they will trample the holy city(D) for forty-two months.(E) 3 I will grant[d] my two witnesses authority to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.’(F) 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord[e] of the earth.(G) 5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies;(H) if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 They have authority to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the days of their prophecy.(I) They also have power over the waters to turn them into blood(J) and to strike the earth with every plague whenever they want.(K)
The Witnesses Martyred
7 When they finish their testimony, the beast(L) that comes up out of the abyss(M) will make war on them, conquer them, and kill them. 8 Their dead bodies[f](N) will lie in the main street[g] of the great city,(O) which figuratively[h] is called Sodom(P) and Egypt,(Q) where also their Lord was crucified. 9 And some of[i] the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations(R) will view their bodies for three and a half days and not permit their bodies to be put into a tomb.(S) 10 Those who live on the earth will gloat(T) over them and celebrate and send gifts to one another because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
The Witnesses Resurrected
11 But after three and a half days, the breath[j] of life(U) from God entered them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard[k] a loud voice from heaven saying to them, ‘Come up here.’ They went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watched them.(V) 13 At that moment a violent earthquake took place,(W) a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake. The survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe(X) has passed. Take note: The third woe is coming soon!
The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel blew his trumpet,(Y) and there were loud voices in heaven saying,
The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom
of our Lord and of his Christ,
and he will reign for ever and ever.(Z)
16 The twenty-four elders, who were seated before God on their thrones, fell face down and worshipped God, 17 saying,
We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty,
who is and who was,[l](AA)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(AB)
18 The nations were angry,(AC)
but your wrath has come.
The time has come
for the dead to be judged
and to give the reward
to your servants the prophets,(AD)
to the saints, and to those who fear your name,
both small and great,(AE)
and the time has come to destroy
those who destroy the earth.
19 Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant[m] appeared in his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder,(AF) an earthquake,[n] and severe hail.

Los dos testigos
11 Me fue dada una caña de medir[a] semejante a una vara(A), y alguien dijo[b](B): Levántate y mide el templo[c] de Dios y el altar, y a los que en él adoran. 2 Pero excluye[d] el patio[e](C) que está fuera del templo[f], no lo midas, porque ha sido entregado a las naciones(D), y estas hollarán(E) la ciudad santa(F) por cuarenta y dos meses(G). 3 Y otorgaré autoridad a mis dos testigos(H), y ellos profetizarán por mil doscientos sesenta días(I), vestidos de cilicio[g](J). 4 Estos son los dos olivos(K) y los dos candelabros que están delante del Señor de la tierra. 5 Y si alguno quiere hacerles daño, de su boca sale fuego(L) y devora a sus enemigos; así debe morir(M) cualquiera que quisiera hacerles daño. 6 Estos tienen poder para cerrar el cielo(N) a fin de que no llueva durante los días en que ellos profeticen[h](O); y tienen poder sobre las aguas para convertirlas en sangre(P), y para herir la tierra con toda suerte de plagas todas las veces que quieran(Q). 7 Cuando hayan terminado de dar su testimonio, la bestia(R) que sube(S) del abismo(T) hará guerra contra ellos(U), los vencerá y los matará. 8 Y sus cadáveres yacerán[i] en la calle de la gran ciudad(V), que simbólicamente[j] se llama Sodoma(W) y Egipto(X), donde también su Señor fue crucificado. 9 Y gente de todos los pueblos, tribus, lenguas y naciones(Y), contemplarán[k] sus cadáveres[l] por tres días y medio, y no permitirán[m] que sus cadáveres sean sepultados(Z). 10 Y los que moran en la tierra(AA) se regocijarán[n] por[o] ellos y se alegrarán[p], y se enviarán regalos unos a otros(AB), porque estos dos profetas atormentaron a los que moran en la tierra(AC). 11 Pero después de los tres días y medio, el aliento de vida de parte de Dios vino a ellos(AD) y se pusieron en pie, y gran temor cayó sobre quienes los contemplaban. 12 Entonces oyeron una gran voz del cielo que les decía: Subid acá(AE). Y subieron al cielo en la nube(AF), y sus enemigos los vieron. 13 En aquella misma hora hubo un gran terremoto(AG) y la décima parte de la ciudad se derrumbó, y siete mil personas[q] murieron en el terremoto, y los demás, aterrorizados, dieron gloria(AH) al Dios del cielo(AI).
14 El segundo ¡ay! ha pasado(AJ); he aquí, el tercer ¡ay! viene pronto.
La séptima trompeta
15 El séptimo ángel tocó la trompeta(AK), y se levantaron grandes voces en el cielo(AL), que decían:
El reino del mundo ha venido a ser el reino de nuestro Señor(AM) y de su Cristo[r](AN); y Él reinará por los siglos de los siglos(AO). 16 Y los veinticuatro ancianos que estaban sentados delante de Dios en sus tronos(AP), se postraron sobre sus rostros y adoraron a Dios(AQ), 17 diciendo:
Te damos gracias, oh Señor Dios Todopoderoso(AR), el que eres y el que eras[s], porque has tomado tu gran poder y has comenzado a reinar[t](AS). 18 Y las naciones(AT) se enfurecieron, y vino tu ira y llegó el tiempo de juzgar a los muertos(AU) y de dar la recompensa a tus siervos los profetas(AV), a los santos y a los que temen tu nombre, a los pequeños y a los grandes(AW), y de destruir a los que destruyen la tierra.
19 El templo[u] de Dios(AX) que está en el cielo fue abierto; y el arca de su pacto(AY) se veía[v] en su templo[w], y hubo relámpagos(AZ), voces[x] y truenos, y un terremoto y una fuerte granizada[y](BA).

Revelation 11
New King James Version
The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given (A)a reed like a measuring rod. [a]And the angel stood, saying, (B)“Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out (C)the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, (D)for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will (E)tread the holy city underfoot for (F)forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two (G)witnesses, (H)and they will prophesy (I)one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the (J)two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the [b]God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, (K)fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. (L)And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These (M)have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.
The Witnesses Killed
7 When they (N)finish their testimony, (O)the beast that ascends (P)out of the bottomless pit (Q)will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of (R)the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, (S)where also [c]our Lord was crucified. 9 (T)Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations [d]will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, (U)and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 (V)And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, (W)and send gifts to one another, (X)because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
The Witnesses Resurrected
11 (Y)Now after the three-and-a-half days (Z)the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 And [e]they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” (AA)And they ascended to heaven (AB)in a cloud, (AC)and their enemies saw them. 13 In the same hour (AD)there was a great earthquake, (AE)and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid (AF)and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 (AG)The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed
15 Then (AH)the seventh angel sounded: (AI)And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, (AJ)“The [f]kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, (AK)and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And (AL)the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and (AM)worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One (AN)who is and who was [g]and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power (AO)and reigned.
18 The nations were (AP)angry, and Your [h]wrath has come,
And the time of the (AQ)dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then (AR)the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of [i]His covenant was seen in His temple. And (AS)there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, (AT)and great hail.
