Revelation 16
New Matthew Bible
The angels pour out their vials full of wrath.
16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways; pour out your vials of wrath upon the earth.
2 And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a foul and a grievous sore upon all who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel shed out his vial upon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man. And every living thing died in the sea.
4 And the third angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and springs of waters, and they turned to blood. 5 And I heard an angel say, Lord who is and who was, you are righteous and holy, because you have given such judgments. 6 For they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and therefore you have given them blood to drink, for they have deserved it.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, It is so, Lord God Almighty; true and righteous are your judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power was given to him to afflict people with the heat of fire. 9 And the people raged in the great heat, and spoke evil of the name of God, who has power over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast, and his kingdom was made dark. And people gnawed their tongues for suffering, 11 and blasphemed the God of heaven for the anguish and pain of their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, to prepare the ways of the kings of the east. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Happy is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he be found naked and men see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured his vial out into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying, It is done! 18 And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings. And there was a great earthquake, such as was not since man has been upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts. And the cities of all the nations fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 Every isle fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell out of heaven a great hail, as if of talents, upon people. And the people blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for it was great, and the plague of it sore.

English Standard Version
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling (A)the seven angels, “Go and (B)pour out on the earth (C)the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful (D)sores came upon the people who bore (E)the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and (F)it became like the blood of a corpse, and (G)every living thing died that was in the sea.
4 The third angel poured out his bowl into (H)the rivers and the springs of water, and (I)they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,
(J)“Just are you, (K)O Holy One, (L)who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6 For (M)they have shed the blood of (N)saints and prophets,
and (O)you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard (P)the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
(Q)true and just are your judgments!”
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people (R)with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and (S)they cursed[b] the name of God who had power over these plagues. (T)They did not repent (U)and give him glory.
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on (V)the throne of the beast, and (W)its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed (X)the God of heaven for their pain and (Y)sores. (Z)They did not repent of their deeds.
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on (AA)the great river Euphrates, and (AB)its water was dried up, (AC)to prepare the way for the kings (AD)from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of (AE)the dragon and out of the mouth of (AF)the beast and out of the mouth of (AG)the false prophet, three (AH)unclean spirits like (AI)frogs. 14 For they are (AJ)demonic spirits, (AK)performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, (AL)to assemble them for battle on (AM)the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (AN)I am coming like a thief! (AO)Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, (AP)that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And (AQ)they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called (AR)Armageddon.
The Seventh Bowl
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into (AS)the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, (AT)“It is done!” 18 And there were (AU)flashes of lightning, rumblings,[c] peals of thunder, and (AV)a great earthquake (AW)such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 (AX)The great city (AY)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God (AZ)remembered (BA)Babylon the great, (BB)to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And (BC)every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And (BD)great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[d] each, fell from heaven on people; and (BE)they cursed God for (BF)the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

As sete taças da ira de Deus
16 Depois ouvi uma voz forte vinda do templo dizer aos sete anjos:
—Vão e derramem até esvaziar as sete taças da ira de Deus sobre a terra.
2 O primeiro anjo saiu e esvaziou a sua taça sobre a terra. Então apareceram úlceras terríveis e dolorosas nas pessoas que eram portadoras da marca do monstro e que adoravam a sua imagem.
3 O segundo anjo esvaziou a sua taça no mar. O mar se tornou em sangue, como o sangue de um morto, e todo ser vivente que havia no mar morreu.
4 O terceiro anjo esvaziou a sua taça nos rios e nas fontes de água e elas se tornaram em sangue. 5 Então ouvi o anjo que tinha autoridade sobre as águas dizer:
—O Senhor é o Santo e aquele que é e que sempre foi!
O Senhor é justo em fazer este julgamento!
6 Eles derramaram o sangue do povo de Deus e dos profetas
e, por isso, o Senhor lhes tem dado sangue para beber.
E isso é o que eles merecem!
7 Aí ouvi uma voz que vinha do altar. Isto é o que foi dito:
—De fato, ó Senhor, Deus Todo-Poderoso,
os seus julgamentos são justos e verdadeiros.
8 O quarto anjo esvaziou a sua taça sobre o sol, permitindo-lhe assim queimar as pessoas com fogo. 9 E de fato as pessoas foram queimadas com o intenso calor. Elas insultaram o nome de Deus, que tem a autoridade sobre estas pragas, mas nem sequer mudaram a sua forma de pensar e de viver ou lhe deram glória.
10 O quinto anjo esvaziou a sua taça sobre o trono do monstro, cujo reino ficou na escuridão. E as pessoas mordiam a língua por causa da dor. 11 Elas insultaram o Deus do céu por causa das suas dores e das suas úlceras, mas não mudaram a sua forma de pensar e de viver a respeito das suas más obras.
12 O sexto anjo esvaziou a sua taça sobre o grande rio Eufrates e a água do rio secou para que se preparasse o caminho dos reis que vêm do Leste. 13 Então vi três espíritos maus que eram parecidos com rãs saírem das bocas do dragão, do monstro e do falso profeta. 14 Eles eram espíritos de demônios e tinham o poder para fazer milagres. Eles se dirigiam aos reis do mundo inteiro com o fim de reuni-los para a batalha do grande Dia do Deus Todo-Poderoso.
15 —Escutem, eu vou chegar assim como o ladrão chega. Feliz é aquele que se mantém acordado e toma conta da sua roupa, pois assim ele não andará nu nem ficará envergonhado em público.
16 Então os espíritos maus reuniram todos os reis no lugar que em hebraico se chama “Armagedom”[a].
17 O sétimo anjo esvaziou a sua taça no ar e uma voz forte saiu do templo do lado do trono, dizendo:
—Está feito!
18 E houve relâmpagos, barulhos, trovões e um grande terremoto. Esse foi o maior terremoto que já ocorreu desde que o homem habita a terra. 19 A grande cidade se dividiu em três partes e as cidades dos pagãos foram destruídas. E Deus se lembrou de castigar a grande cidade de Babilônia e lhe deu o cálice com o vinho da sua terrível ira. 20 Todas as ilhas desapareceram e nenhuma montanha foi encontrada. 21 Chuvas de pedra caíram do céu sobre as pessoas, com pedras que pesavam mais ou menos quarenta quilos[b]. E as pessoas insultaram a Deus por causa da praga das chuvas de pedra, pois ela era terrível.
