Otkrivenje 16

1 Začujem zatim kako jak glas iz hrama dovikuje sedmorici anđela: "Idite i izlijte sedam čaša Božjega gnjeva na Zemlju!"2 Prvi anđeo ode i izlije posudu na Zemlju. Strašni i bolni čirovi pojave se na ljudima koji nose žig Zvijeri i koji se klanjaju njezinu kipu.3 Drugi anđeo izlije posudu na more. Ono postane poput mrtvačeve krvi te svako živo biće u njemu ugine.4 Treći anđeo izlije posudu na rijeke i izvore. Oni se pretvore u krv.5 Začujem anđela koji ima vlast nad vodom kako kaže: "Pravedan si, Ti koji jesi i koji si bio, Sveti, što si tako dosudio.6 Oni su prolili krv tvojih svetih i tvojih proroka. Zato ih sada krvlju napajaš. To su i zaslužili.

7 Začujem zatim žrtvenik kako govori: "Da, Svemogući Gospodine Bože! Tvoje su presude pravedne i istinite!"
8 Zatim četvrti anđeo izlije posudu na Sunce te ono počne žeći ljude ognjem.

9 Silna je žega palila ljude pa su psovali ime Boga koji ima vlast nad tim zlima. Nisu se pokajali i dali mu slavu.
10 Peti anđeo izlije posudu na Zvijerino prijestolje. Njezinim kraljevstvom nato zavlada tmina. Ljudi su od muke grizli jezik

11 i psovali nebeskoga Boga zbog svojih boli i čirova. Ali nisu se pokajali i obratili od svojih zlih djela.
12 Šesti anđeo izlije posudu na veliku rijeku Eufrat te ona presuši da onuda mogu proći kraljevi sa sunčeva istoka.13 Ugledam zatim kako tri žabe iskaču iz usta Zmaja, Zvijeri i lažnoga proroka.

14 Ti nečisti duhovi, koji čine čudesa, okupe vladare svega svijeta na rat protiv Boga, koji će se zbiti na veliki Dan Svemogućega Boga.
15 "Pazite: dolazim kao tat! Blago onima koji bdiju i koji čuvaju svoje haljine da ne idu goli i da im se ne vidi sramota."16 Oni okupe sve vojske svijeta na mjestu koje se hebrejski zove Harmagedon.17 Sedmi anđeo izlije posudu u zrak. Iz hrama, s prijestolja, jaki glas vikne: "Svršeno je!"18 Nato udare munje, grmljavina i gromovi te nastane jak potres. Otkako je ljudi, nije bilo tako silna potresa.19 Veliki grad Babilon prasne na tri dijela, gradovi naroda po svijetu sruše se. Sjetio se Bog velikome Babilonu zbog njegovih grijeha dati da pije vino iz čaše strašnoga Božjega gnjeva.20 Svi otoci pobjegnu, sve gore iščeznu.

21 Na ljude s neba zapljušti strašna tuča. Padali su komadi teški po trideset pet kilograma. Ljudi su psovali Boga zbog tuče jer je nanosila strašno zlo.

Revelation 16

The Bowls of God’s Wrath

1 Thent I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels: “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”t

2 Sot the first angelt went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Thent ugly and painful sorest appeared on the peoplet who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

3 Next,t the second angelt poured out his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood, like that of a corpse, and every living creature that was in the sea died.
4 Thent the third angelt poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood.

5 Nowt I heard the angel of the waters saying:
“You are justt – the one who is and who was,
the Holy One – because you have passed these judgments,t

6 because they poured out the blood of your saints and prophets,
sot you have given them blood to drink. They got what they deserved!”t

7 Thent I heard the altar reply,t “Yes, Lord God, the All-Powerful,t your judgments are true and just!”
8 Thent the fourth angelt poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch peoplet with fire.

9 Thust peoplet were scorched by the terrible heat,t yett they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authorityt over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.
10 Thent the fifth angelt poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast so thatt darkness covered his kingdom,t and peoplet began to bitet their tongues becauset of their pain.

11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their sufferingst and because of their sores,t but neverthelesst they still refused to repentt of their deeds.
12 Thent the sixth angelt poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its watert to prepare the wayt for the kings from the east.t13 Thent I saw three unclean spiritss that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of the demons performing signs who go out to the kings of the eartht to bring them together for the battle that will take place on the great day of God, the All-Powerful.t

15 (Look! I will come like a thief!
Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not loset his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful conditiont be seen.)s

16 Nowt the spiritst gathered the kings and their armiest to the place that is called Armageddonst in Hebrew.
17 Finallyt the seventh angelt poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying: “It is done!”18 Thent there were flashes of lightning, roaring,t and crashes of thunder, and there was a tremendous earthquake – an earthquake unequaled since humanityt has been on the earth, so tremendous was that earthquake.19 Thet great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nationst collapsed.t Sot Babylon the great was remembered before God, and was given the cupt filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath.t20 Everyt island fled awayt and no mountains could be found.s

21 And gigantic hailstones, weighing about a hundred poundst each, fell from heavent on people,t but theyt blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since itt was so horrendous.t
