Revelation 11
American Standard Version
11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: [a]and one said, Rise, and measure the [b]temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 And the court which is without the [c]temple [d]leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the [e]nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give 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 [f]candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies; and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed. 6 These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their [g]dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their [h]dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10 And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth. 11 And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake [i]seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said,
The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign [j]for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God, 17 saying,
We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign. 18 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to thy [k]servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth.
19 And there was opened the [l]temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his [m]temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

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.

De två vittnena
11 En mätstång som liknade en stav gavs åt mig med orden: "Stå upp och mät Guds tempel[a] och altaret och dem som tillber där inne. 2 Men utelämna templets yttre gård och mät den inte, eftersom den är given åt hedningarna, och den heliga staden skall de trampa under fötterna i fyrtiotvå månader.[b] 3 Och jag skall befalla mina två vittnen att profetera under ettusen tvåhundrasextio dagar, klädda i säcktyg." 4 Dessa är de två olivträden och de två ljusstakarna som står inför jordens Herre. 5 Om någon vill skada dem, kommer eld ur deras mun och förtär deras fiender. Ja, om någon vill skada dem måste han dödas på det sättet. 6 De har makt att stänga himlen, så att det inte regnar under de dagar de profeterar. De har makt att förvandla vattnen till blod och att slå jorden med alla slags plågor så ofta de vill.
7 Och när de har fullgjort sitt vittnesbörd, skall vilddjuret som kommer upp från avgrunden strida mot dem och besegra och döda dem. 8 Deras döda kroppar kommer att bli liggande på gatan i den stora stad som andligt talat kallas Sodom och Egypten, den stad där deras Herre också blev korsfäst. 9 Människor av olika folk och stammar och språk och folkslag ser deras döda kroppar i tre och en halv dagar, och de tillåter inte att kropparna läggs i någon grav. 10 Och jordens invånare gläder sig över dem och jublar och skickar gåvor till varandra, ty dessa båda profeter har plågat dem som bor på jorden. 11 Men efter de tre och en halv dagarna kom livsande från Gud in i dem, och de stod upp, och de som såg dem blev skräckslagna. 12 Och de hörde en stark röst från himlen säga till dem: "Kom hit upp!" Och de steg upp till himlen i ett moln, och deras fiender såg dem. 13 I samma stund blev det en stor jordbävning, och en tiondel av staden störtade samman. Sju tusen människor dödades vid jordbävningen. De övriga greps av skräck och ärade himlens Gud. 14 Det andra veropet är över. Se, det tredje kommer snart.
Den sjunde basunen
15 Den sjunde ängeln blåste i sin basun. Då hördes i himlen starka röster som sade:
"Herraväldet över världen tillhör nu vår Herre
och hans Smorde, och han skall vara konung
i evigheternas evigheter."
16 Och de tjugofyra äldste som satt på sina troner inför Gud, föll ner på sina ansikten och tillbad Gud 17 och sade:
"Vi tackar dig, Herre Gud, du Allsmäktige,
du som är och som var, för att du har tagit makten,
din stora makt, och trätt fram som konung.
18 Folken vredgades, och din vredes dag har kommit,
tiden när de döda skall dömas och när du skall löna
dina tjänare profeterna och de heliga och dem som
fruktar ditt namn, små och stora, och då du skall fördärva dem
som fördärvar jorden."
19 Och Guds tempel i himlen öppnades, och hans förbundsark blev synlig i hans tempel, och det kom blixtar, dån och åska, jordbävning och stora hagel.
