< 啟示錄 20 >
1 後,我看見一位天使從天降下,手持深淵的鑰匙和一條大鎖鏈。 (Abyssos )
And I saw an Angel come downe from heauen, hauing the keye of the bottomles pit, and a great chaine in his hand. (Abyssos )
2 他捉住了那龍,那古蛇,就是魔鬼--撒殫,把牠綑起來,共一千年之久;
And he tooke the dragon that olde serpent, which is the deuill and Satan, and he bounde him a thousand yeeres:
3 將牠拋到深淵裏,關起來,加上封條,免得牠再迷惑萬民,直到滿了一千年,此後應該釋放牠一個短時辰。 (Abyssos )
And cast him into the bottomles pit, and he shut him vp, and sealed the doore vpon him, that he should deceiue the people no more, till the thousand yeeres were fulfilled: for after that he must be loosed for a litle season. (Abyssos )
4 我又看見一些寶座,有些人在上面坐著,賜給了他們審判的權柄,他們就是那些為給耶穌作證,並為了天主的話被斬首之人的靈魂;還有那些沒有朝拜那獸,也沒有朝拜獸像,並在自己的額上或手上也沒有接受牠印號的人,都活了過來,同基督一起為王一千年。
And I sawe seates: and they sate vpon them, and iudgement was giuen vnto them, and I saw the soules of them that were beheaded for the witnes of Iesus, and for the word of God, and which did not worship the beast, neither his image, neither had taken his marke vpon their foreheads, or on their handes: and they liued, and reigned with Christ a thousand yeere.
5 這是第一次復活。其餘的死者沒有活過來,直到那一千年滿了。
But the rest of the dead men shall not liue againe, vntill the thousand yeres be finished: this is the first resurrection.
6 於第一次復活有分的人是有福的,是聖潔的。第二次的死亡對這些人無能為力;他們將作天主和基督的司祭,並同他一起為王一千年。
Blessed and holy is hee, that hath part in the first resurrection: for on such the second death hath no power: but they shalbe the Priests of God and of Christ, and shall reigne with him a thousand yeere.
And when the thousand yeres are expired, Satan shalbe loosed out of his prison,
8 他一出來便去迷惑地上四極的萬民,就是哥格和瑪哥格;他聚集他們準備作戰,他們的數目有如海濱的沙粒。
And shall go out to deceiue the people, which are in the foure quarters of the earth: euen Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battell, whose number is, as the sand of the sea.
9 於是他們上到那廣大的地區,圍困了眾聖徒的營幕和蒙愛的城邑;但是有火自天上,從天主那裏降下,吞滅了他們。
And they went vp into the plaine of the earth, and they compassed the tents of the Saints about, and the beloued citie: but fire came downe from God out of heauen, and deuoured them.
10 迷惑他們的魔鬼,也被投入那烈火與硫磺的坑中,就是那獸和那位假先知所在的地方,他們必要日夜受苦,至於無窮之世。 (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
And the deuill that deceiued them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where that beast and that false prophet are, and shall be tormented euen day and night for euermore. (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
11 以後,我看見了一個潔白的大寶座,和坐於其上的那位;地和天都從他面前消失不見了,再也找不到它們的地方了。
And I saw a great white throne, and one that sate on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heauen, and their place was no more found.
12 我又看見死過的人,無論大小,都站在寶座前,案卷就展開了;還有另一本書,即生命冊也展開了,死過的人都按那案卷上所記錄的,照他們的行為受了審判。
And I saw the dead, both great and small stand before God: and the bookes were opened, and another booke was opened, which is the booke of life, and the dead were iudged of those thinges, which were written in the bookes, according to their woorkes.
13 海洋把其中的死者交出,死亡和陰府都把其中的死者交出,人人都按照自己的行為受了審判。 (Hadēs )
And the sea gaue vp her dead, which were in her, and death and hell deliuered vp the dead, which were in them: and they were iudged euery man according to their woorkes. (Hadēs )
14 然後死亡和陰府也被投入火坑,這火坑就是第二次死亡。 (Hadēs , Limnē Pyr )
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. (Hadēs , Limnē Pyr )
15 凡是沒有記載在生命冊上的人,就被投入火坑中。 (Limnē Pyr )
And whosoeuer was not found written in the booke of life, was cast into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr )
