\subsection{Revelation 11}
|
|
\VS{1} And to me was given [a] reed like [a] rod, and the angel stood, saying: Be
|
|
arising and measure the temple of God and the altar and those worshipping in
|
|
it.
|
|
\VS{2} And the outer court of the temple, throw out and you may not
|
|
measure it, because it has been given to the nations, and they will tread on
|
|
the holy city forty-two months.
|
|
\VS{3} And I will give [power] to my two witnesses,
|
|
and they will prophecy one thousand two hundred and sixty days wearing
|
|
sackcloth.
|
|
\VS{4} These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands
|
|
standing before the face of the Lord of the land.
|
|
\VS{5} And if anyone wishes to injure
|
|
them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and consumes their enemy. And if
|
|
anyone wishes to injure them, thus must he be killed.
|
|
\VS{6} These have
|
|
authority to shut heaven, in order that rain be not falling during the days
|
|
of the prophecy, and they have authority over the waters to turn them into
|
|
blood and to smite the land with every plague as often as they want.
|
|
\VS{7} And when they complete their testimony, the wild-beast having come up from
|
|
the abyss\footnote{or ``underworld''} will make war with them and will
|
|
overcome them and will kill them.
|
|
\VS{8} And their corpses [shall lie] upon the streets
|
|
of the great city, which spiritually is called \Sodoma and Egypt, where their
|
|
Lord was also crucified.
|
|
\VS{9} And they of the peoples and tribes and
|
|
tongues and nations see their corpses three days and a half, and they do not
|
|
allow their corpses to placed in graves.
|
|
\VS{10} And those dwelling upon the
|
|
land rejoice over them and are happy, and they will send gifts to one
|
|
another, because these two prophets tormented those dwelling on the land.
|
|
\VS{11} And after three days and a half the spirit of zoe-life\fnZoe{} from the Lord
|
|
entered into them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon
|
|
those beholding them.
|
|
\VS{12} And they heard [a] great voice from heaven saying
|
|
to them: Come up here. And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their
|
|
enemies beheld them.
|
|
\VS{13} And in that hour came to pass [a] great
|
|
earthquake, and a tenth of the cities fell, and [the] names of seven thousand men
|
|
were killed in the earthquake, and the rest became terrified and gave glory
|
|
to the God of heaven.
|
|
\VS{14} The second woe has departed. Behold the third woe comes swiftly.
|
|
\VS{15} And the seventh angel trumpeted, and great voices
|
|
came to pass in heaven, saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
The kingdom of the word has become [the kingdom] of our Lord, \\
|
|
And of his the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], and he will be king to the eternity of eternities.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{16} And the twenty four elders, those having sat before God upon their
|
|
thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God
|
|
\VS{17} saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
We thank you, O Lord God almighty, \\
|
|
[who] is and [who] was, that you have taken your great power, \\
|
|
And you have been king, \\
|
|
\VS{18} And the nations were enraged, \\
|
|
And your wrath came and the opportune-time\fnKairos{} of the dead to be judged, \\
|
|
And to give the reward to your slaves the prophets \\
|
|
And to the holy [ones] and to those fearing your name, \\
|
|
The small and the great, \\
|
|
And to destroy those destroying the land.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{19} And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen the
|
|
ark of his contract\footnote{or ``covenant'', ``testament''} in his temple,
|
|
and there came to pass lightnings and sounds and thunders and [an] earthquake
|
|
and great hail.
