啓示錄 16
神忿怒的七碗
1 我聽見有大聲音從聖所裡發出來，向那七位天使說：“你們去，把 神烈怒的七碗倒在地上！”
2 第一位天使去了，把碗倒在地上，就有惡性的毒瘡，生在那些有獸的記號和拜獸像的人身上。3 第二位天使把碗倒在海裡，海水就變成好像死人的血，海裡的一切生物都死了。4 第三位天使把碗倒在江河和眾水的泉源裡，水就變成了血。
5 我聽見掌管眾水的天使說：
“今在昔在的聖者啊！
你這樣審判是公義的，
6 因為他們曾流聖徒和先知的血，現在你給他們血喝，
這是他們該受的。”
7 我又聽見祭壇中有聲音說：“是的，主啊！全能的 神，
你的審判真實、公義！”
8 第四位天使把碗倒在太陽上，太陽就得了能力，可以用火烤人。
9 人被高熱燒烤，就褻瀆那有權柄掌管這些災難的 神的名，並不悔改，把榮耀歸給他。
10 第五位天使把碗倒在獸的座位上，獸的國就黑暗了。人因為痛苦就咬自己的舌頭。
11 他們又因為所受的痛苦和所生的瘡，褻瀆天上的 神，並不為自己所作的悔改。
12 第六位天使把碗倒在幼發拉底大河上，河水就乾了，為了要給那些從東方來的王預備道路。13 我看見三個污靈，好像青蛙從龍口、獸口和假先知的口中出來。14 他們原是鬼魔的靈，施行奇事；牠們到普天下的眾王那裡去，叫他們在全能 神的大日聚集作戰。15 -
16 污靈就把眾王聚集在一個地方，希伯來話叫哈米吉多頓。
17 第七位天使把碗倒在空中，就有大聲音從聖所的寶座上發出來，說：“成了！”18 於是有閃電、響聲、雷轟和大地震，自從地上有人以來，沒發生過這麼大的地震，19 那大城裂為三段，列國的城也都倒塌了。 神也想起巴比倫大城來，要把自己烈怒的酒杯遞給它。20 各海島都逃避了，眾山也不見了。
21 有大冰雹從天上落在人的身上，每塊重約四十公斤。由於這冰雹的災，人就褻瀆 神，因為這災太嚴重了。
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
