Otkrivenje 15
1 I vidjeh drugo znamenje na nebu, veliko i čudesno: sedam anđela sa sedam zala posljednjih - s njima se navršuje gnjev Božji.
Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
2 I vidjeh kao neko more od prozirca pomiješano s ognjem. Oni koji pobijediše Zvijer i kip njezin i broj imena njezina stoje u moru od prozirca s citrama Božjim u ruci.
I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
3 Pjevaju pjesmu Mojsija, sluge Božjega, i pjesmu Jaganjčevu: “Velika su i čudesna djela tvoja, Gospodine, Bože, Svevladaru! Pravedni su i istiniti putovi tvoji, Kralju naroda!
They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
4 Tko da te se ne boji, Gospodine, tko da ne slavi ime tvoje! Ti si jedini svet! I zato svi će narodi doći i klanjati se pred tobom jer se očitovahu pravedna djela tvoja!”
O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
5 Nakon toga vidjeh: otvori se hram Šatora svjedočanstva na nebu!
After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
6 Iziđe sedam anđela sa sedam zala iz hrama; odjeveni bijahu u blistav bijeli lan, oko prsiju opasani zlatnim pojasom.
The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
7 Jedno od četiri bića dade sedmorici anđela sedam zlatnih čaša, punih gnjeva Boga koji živi u vijeke vjekova. (aiōn g165)
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
8 I hram se napuni dimom od Slave Božje i od njegove snage te nitko ne mogaše ući u hram dok se ne navrši sedam zala sedmorice anđela.
The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
