Zjavenie 16

1 Potom som počul mocný hlas z chrámu, ako hovorí siedmim anjelom: „Choďte a vylejte na zem sedem čiaš Božieho hnevu!“2 Odišiel prvý a vylial svoju čašu na zem: a povyhadzovali sa zhubné a zlé vredy na ľuďoch, čo mali znak šelmy, aj na tých, čo sa klaňali jej obrazu.3 Druhý vylial svoju čašu na more: a zmenilo sa na krv ako z mŕtveho a zahynulo všetko živé, čo bolo v mori.4 Tretí vylial svoju čašu na rieky a pramene vôd: a zmenili sa na krv.5 Potom som počul anjela vôd volať: „Spravodlivý si ty, ktorý si a ktorý si bol, Svätý, že si vyniesol takýto rozsudok.6 Keďže preliali krv svätých a prorokov, dal si im piť krv; zaslúžili si to!“7 A od oltára som počul volať: „Áno, Pane, Bože všemohúci, správne a spravodlivé sú tvoje súdy!“8 Štvrtý anjel vylial svoju čašu na slnko: a bolo mu dané páliť ľudí ohňom.9 Veľká horúčava spaľovala ľudí a tí sa rúhali menu Boha, ktorý má moc nad týmito ranami; ale nerobili pokánie, aby mu vzdali slávu.10 Piaty anjel vylial svoju čašu na trón šelmy: a jej kráľovstvo stemnelo. Od bolesti si hrýzli jazyky11 a rúhali sa nebeskému Bohu pre svoje bolesti a vredy a nerobili pokánie za svoje skutky.12 Šiesty vylial svoju čašu na veľkú rieku Eufrat: a jej voda vyschla, aby sa pripravila cesta kráľom od východu slnka.13 I videl som troch nečistých duchov ako žaby vychádzať z tlamy draka, z tlamy šelmy a z úst falošného proroka.14 To sú duchovia démonov, ktorí konajú znamenia: vychádzajú ku kráľom celého sveta, aby ich zhromaždili na boj vo veľký deň všemohúceho Boha.15 Hľa, prichádzam ako zlodej. Blahoslavený, kto bdie a chráni si odev, aby nechodil nahý a aby nevideli jeho hanbu.16 I zhromaždil ich na miesto, ktoré sa po hebrejsky volá Harmagedon.17 Siedmy anjel vylial svoju čašu do vzduchu a z chrámu od trónu vyšiel mocný hlas; hovoril: „Stalo sa!“18 A nastali blesky, burácanie, hrmenie aj veľké zemetrasenie, akého nebolo odvtedy, čo je človek na zemi - také veľké bolo zemetrasenie.19 Veľké mesto sa rozpadlo na tri časti a mestá národov padli. Boh si spomenul na veľký Babylon a dal mu kalich vína svojho rozhorčeného hnevu.20 Všetky ostrovy zmizli a ani vrchov viac nebolo.21 Z neba padali na ľudí krúpy ťažké ako talenty a ľudia sa rúhali Bohu pre ranu krupobitia, lebo táto jeho rana bola veľmi veľká.

REVELATION 16

The Bowls of God's Anger

1 From the temple I heard a voice shout to the seven angels, “Go and empty the seven bowls of God's anger on the earth.”

2  t The first angel emptied his bowl on the earth. At once ugly and painful sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and worshiped the idol.

3 The second angel emptied his bowl on the sea. At once the sea turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
4  t The third angel emptied his bowl into the rivers and streams. At once they turned to blood.

5 Then I heard the angel, who has power over water, say,
“You have always been,
and you always will be
the holy God.
You had the right
to judge in this way.

6 They poured out the bloodt
of your people
and your prophets.
So you gave them blood
to drink as they deserve!”

7 After this, I heard
the altar shout,
“Yes, Lord God All-Powerful,
your judgments are honest
and fair.”
8 The fourth angel emptied his bowl on the sun, and it began to scorch people like fire.

9 Everyone was scorched by its great heat, and all of them cursed the name of God who had power over these terrible troubles. But no one turned to God and praised him.
10  t The fifth angel emptied his bowl on the throne of the beast. At once darkness covered its kingdom, and its people began biting their tongues in pain.

11 And because of their painful sores, they cursed the God who rules in heaven. But still they did not stop doing evil things.
12  t The sixth angel emptied his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it completely dried up to make a road for the kings from the east. 13 An evil spirit that looked like a frog came out of the mouth of the dragon. One also came out of the mouth of the beast, and another out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 These evil spirits had the power to work miracles. They went to every king on earth, to bring them together for a war against God All-Powerful. But that will be the day of God's great victory.

15  t Remember Christ says, “When I come, it will surprise you like a thief! But God will bless you, if you are awake and ready. Then you won't have to walk around naked and be ashamed.”

16  t Those armies came together in a place that in Hebrew is called Armagedon.t
17 As soon as the seventh angel emptied his bowl in the air, a loud voice from the throne in the temple shouted, “It's done!” 18 t There were flashes of lightning, roars of thunder, and the worst earthquake in all history. 19 t The great city of Babylon split into three parts, and the cities of other nations fell. So God made Babylon drink from the wine cup filled with his anger. 20 t Every island ran away, and the mountains disappeared. 21 t Hailstones, weighing about 50 kilograms each, fell from the sky on people. Finally, the people cursed God, because the hail was so terrible.
