Mashahidi Wawili
11 Kisha nilipewa fimbo ya kupimia, ndefu kama fimbo ya kutembelea. Nikaambiwa, “Nenda ukalipime hekalu[a] la Mungu na madhabahu na uwahesabu watu wanaoabudu humo. 2 Lakini usipime eneo lililo nje ya hekalu. Liache. Eneo hilo wamepewa watu wasio wa Mungu. Wataonesha nguvu zao juu ya mji mtakatifu kwa miezi 42. 3 Nami nitawapa nguvu mashahidi wangu wawili, watatabiri kwa siku 1,260. Nao watakuwa wamevaa magunia.”
4 Mashahidi hawa wawili ni mizeituni miwili na vinara viwili vya taa vinavyosimama mbele za Bwana wa dunia. 5 Ikiwa mtu yeyote atajaribu kuwadhuru mashahidi hawa, moto utatoka katika vinywa vyao na kuwaua adui zao. Yeyote atakaye jaribu kuwadhuru atakufa. 6 Mashahidi hawa wana nguvu ya kuzuia mvua isinyeshe katika wakati ambao watakuwa wanatabiri. Pia wana uwezo wa kugeuza maji kuwa damu. Wana uwezo wa kutuma kila aina ya pigo duniani. Wanaweza kufanya hivi kadri wanavyotaka.
7 Mashahidi wawili watakapomaliza kuutangaza ujumbe wao, mnyama atokaye kuzimu atapigana nao. Atawashinda na kuwaua. 8 Miili ya mashahidi hawa wawili italala kwenye mtaa wa mji mkuu. Mji huu unaitwa Sodoma na Misri. Majina ya mji huu yana maana maalumu. Huu ni mji ambako Bwana aliuawa. 9 Watu kutoka kila asili, kabila, lugha na taifa wataiangalia miili ya mashahidi hawa wawili kwa siku tatu na nusu. Watu watakataa kuwazika. 10 Na Kila aishiye duniani atafurahi kwa sababu mashahidi hawa wawili wamekufa. Watu watafanya sherehe na kupeana zawadi kwa sababu manabii hawa wawili walileta mateso mengi kwa watu waishio duniani.
11 Lakini baada ya siku tatu na nusu, Mungu akawarudishia uhai mashahidi hawa wawili. Wakasimama kwa miguu yao. Na wale waliowaona wakajaa hofu. 12 Kisha mashahidi wakasikia sauti kuu kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Njooni huku juu!” Na wote wawili wakaenda juu mbinguni katika wingu, adui zao wakiangalia wanavyokwenda.
13 Katika wakati huo huo kulitokea tetemeko kuu la ardhi. Sehemu ya kumi ya mji ikateketea, na watu elfu saba wakafa. Wale ambao hawakufa waliogopa sana. Wakampa utukufu Mungu wa mbinguni.
14 Kitisho cha pili kimepita. Kitisho cha tatu kinakuja haraka.
Mlio wa tarumbeta ya Saba
15 Malaika wa saba alipopuliza tarumbeta yake, zikatokea sauti kuu mbinguni, zikasema:
“Ufalme wa ulimwengu umekuwa ufalme wa Bwana wetu na wa Masihi wake sasa.
Na atatawala milele na milele.”
16 Kisha wazee 24 wakaanguka chini nyuso zao zikiwa chini wakamwabudu Mungu. Hawa ni wazee ambao wanakaa kwenye viti vyao vya heshima mbele za Mungu. 17 Wazee wakasema:
“Tunakushukuru wewe, Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi.
Wewe ndiye uliyepo na ambaye daima umekuwepo.
Tunakushukuru kwa sababu umetumia uweza wako mkuu
na umeanza kutawala.
18 Mataifa walikasirika,
lakini sasa ni wakati kwa ajili ya hasira yako.
Sasa ni wakati wa waliokufa kuhukumiwa.
Ni wakati wa kuwapa thawabu watumishi wako, manabii,
na kuwapa thawabu watu wako watakatifu,
wakubwa na wadogo, wanaokuheshimu wewe.
Ni wakati wa kuwaangamiza watu wanaoiangamiza dunia!”
19 Kisha hekalu la Mungu mbinguni likafunguliwa. Sanduku la Agano likaonekana ndani ya hekalu lake. Kisha kukatokea miali ya radi na miungurumo ya radi, kelele, tetemeko la nchi na mvua kubwa ya mawe.

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.

The Two Witnesses
11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod(A) and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court;(B) do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.(C) They will trample on the holy city(D) for 42 months.(E) 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses,(F) and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,(G) clothed in sackcloth.”(H) 4 They are “the two olive trees”(I) and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a](J) 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.(K) This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.(L) 6 They have power to shut up the heavens(M) so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;(N) and they have power to turn the waters into blood(O) and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast(P) that comes up from the Abyss(Q) will attack them,(R) and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city(S)—which is figuratively called Sodom(T) and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.(U) 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation(V) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.(W) 10 The inhabitants of the earth(X) will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,(Y) because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days(Z) the breath[b] of life from God entered them,(AA) and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”(AB) And they went up to heaven in a cloud,(AC) while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake(AD) and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory(AE) to the God of heaven.(AF)
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.(AG)
The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(AH) and there were loud voices(AI) in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,(AJ)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”(AK)
16 And the twenty-four elders,(AL) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces(AM) and worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give thanks(AN) to you, Lord God Almighty,(AO)
the One who is and who was,(AP)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(AQ)
18 The nations were angry,(AR)
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,(AS)
and for rewarding your servants the prophets(AT)
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small(AU)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple(AV) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.(AW) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,(AX) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.(AY)

Revelation 11
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.
