Revelation 16
New International Version
The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple(A) saying to the seven angels,(B) “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”(C)
2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land,(D) and ugly, festering sores(E) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.(F)
3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.(G)
4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water,(H) and they became blood.(I) 5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
“You are just in these judgments,(J) O Holy One,(K)
you who are and who were;(L)
6 for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,(M)
and you have given them blood to drink(N) as they deserve.”
7 And I heard the altar(O) respond:
8 The fourth angel(R) poured out his bowl on the sun,(S) and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.(T) 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God,(U) who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent(V) and glorify him.(W)
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,(X) and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.(Y) People gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and cursed(Z) the God of heaven(AA) because of their pains and their sores,(AB) but they refused to repent of what they had done.(AC)
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,(AD) and its water was dried up to prepare the way(AE) for the kings from the East.(AF) 13 Then I saw three impure spirits(AG) that looked like frogs;(AH) they came out of the mouth of the dragon,(AI) out of the mouth of the beast(AJ) and out of the mouth of the false prophet.(AK) 14 They are demonic spirits(AL) that perform signs,(AM) and they go out to the kings of the whole world,(AN) to gather them for the battle(AO) on the great day(AP) of God Almighty.
15 “Look, I come like a thief!(AQ) Blessed is the one who stays awake(AR) and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”(AS)
16 Then they gathered the kings together(AT) to the place that in Hebrew(AU) is called Armageddon.(AV)
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,(AW) and out of the temple(AX) came a loud voice(AY) from the throne, saying, “It is done!”(AZ) 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder(BA) and a severe earthquake.(BB) No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth,(BC) so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city(BD) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered(BE) Babylon the Great(BF) and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.(BG) 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.(BH) 21 From the sky huge hailstones,(BI) each weighing about a hundred pounds,[a] fell on people. And they cursed God(BJ) on account of the plague of hail,(BK) because the plague was so terrible.

The Bowls of Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from (A)the [a]temple, saying to the (B)seven angels, “Go and (C)pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl (D)on the earth; and a harmful and painful (E)sore [b]afflicted the people (F)who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl (G)into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living [c]thing in the sea died.
4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the (H)rivers and the springs of waters; and they (I)became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “(J)Righteous are You, (K)the One who is and who was, O (L)Holy One, because You (M)judged these things; 6 for they poured out (N)the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them (O)blood to drink. They [d]deserve it.” 7 And I heard (P)the altar saying, “Yes, (Q)Lord God, the Almighty, (R)true and righteous are Your judgments.”
8 And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon (S)the sun, (T)and it was given power to scorch people with fire. 9 And the people were scorched with [e]fierce heat; and they (U)blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they (V)did not repent so as to (W)give Him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the (X)throne of the beast, and his kingdom became (Y)darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, 11 and they (Z)blasphemed the (AA)God of heaven because of their pain and their (AB)sores; and they (AC)did not repent of their deeds.
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the (AD)great river, the Euphrates; and (AE)its water was dried up, so that (AF)the way would be prepared for the kings (AG)from the [f]east.
Har-Magedon (Armageddon)
13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the (AH)dragon, and out of the mouth of the (AI)beast, and out of the mouth of the (AJ)false prophet, three (AK)unclean spirits like (AL)frogs; 14 for they are (AM)spirits of demons, (AN)performing signs, which go out to the kings of the (AO)entire [g]world, to (AP)gather them together for the war of the (AQ)great day of God, the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (AR)I am coming like a thief. (AS)Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, (AT)so that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame.”) 16 And they (AU)gathered them together to the place which (AV)in Hebrew is called (AW)Har-Magedon.
The Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon (AX)the air, and a (AY)loud voice came out of the [h](AZ)temple from the throne, saying, “(BA)It is done.” 18 And there were flashes of (BB)lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was (BC)a great earthquake, (BD)such as there had not been since mankind came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19 (BE)The great city [i]was split into three parts, and the cities of the [j]nations fell. (BF)Babylon the great was (BG)remembered in the sight of God, to give her (BH)the cup of the wine of [k]His fierce wrath. 20 And (BI)every island fled, and no mountains were found. 21 And (BJ)huge [l]hailstones, weighing about [m]a talent each, *came down from heaven upon people; and people (BK)blasphemed God because of the (BL)plague of the hail, because [n]the hailstone plague *was extremely [o]severe.

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
盛满上帝怒火的碗
16 然后,我听见大殿里传来一个宏亮的声音,对七个天使说∶“去把盛着上帝怒火的七只碗倒在大地上。”
2 第一个天使离去,把碗倒在陆地上,于是,印有那只野兽记号并崇拜其偶像的人,身上长出了可怕、疼痛的脓疮。
3 第二位天使把他的碗倒入大海,海水就变成血,如同死人的血一样,海里的生物都死光了。
4 第三位天使把碗倒入江河与泉水,水立刻都变成了血。 5 我听见掌管水的天使说:
“您的审判绝对是公正的,
昔在、现在,您永远是圣者。
6 因为他们杀害了圣民和先知,
所以,您赐给了他们血喝,
这是他们罪有应得。”
7 然后,我又听见祭坛说:
“是的,全能之主上帝,
您的审判是真实和公正的。”
8 第四个天使把他的碗泼在太阳上,于是太阳获准用火烧灼这些人。 9 他们被炽热烧灼,便诅咒操纵一切灾难的上帝名字,却拒不忏悔,也不把荣耀给予上帝。
10 第五个天使把碗倒在那个野兽的宝座上,于是他的王国陷入一片黑暗。他们疼得直咬舌头。 11 因为疼痛和痈疮,他们诅咒天堂里的上帝,却拒不为他们的行为忏悔。
12 第六位天使把碗倒入幼发拉底河,其河水立刻枯竭了,为从东方来的君王准备好了道路。 13 然后,我看见像青蛙一样的三个邪灵。他们是恶魔的精灵,分别从龙嘴、野兽嘴和假先知的嘴里出来。他们有行奇迹的力量。 14 这些邪灵出去见全世界的君王,把他们集聚在一起,准备在全能上帝的伟大的日子里作战。
15 “听着!我会像贼一样悄悄到来,让你们大吃一惊,醒着并穿着衣服的人,是有福的,因为他们不必当众赤身裸体行走,让人看到羞处。”
16 邪灵把众君王聚集在一个希伯来语叫哈米吉多顿的地方。
17 然后,第七位天使把他的碗泼在空中,大殿里宝座上传来一个响亮的声音,说∶“结束了!” 18 于是雷电交加,霹雳大作,发生了大地震,这是自从人类出现在地球上以来,从未经历过的大地震。 19 大城裂为三瓣,外邦人的城市全部倒塌。上帝没有忘记要惩罚巴比伦大城,便赐给她装满愤怒烈酒的酒杯。 20 所有的岛屿全都消失得无影无踪,大山也消失了。 21 40公斤重的大冰雹从天而降,砸在了人们身上。人们因这冰雹的灾难而诅咒上帝,因为这是一场可怕的灾难。
