Revelation 10

1 And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of Heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow on the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

我又看见另有一位大力的天使从天降下，披着云彩，头上有虹，脸面像日头，两脚像火柱。

2 and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he placed his right foot on the sea, and the left on the land,

他手里拿着小书卷，是展开的。他右脚踏海，左脚踏地，

3 and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roars, and when he cried, the seven thunders spoke out their voices;

大声呼喊，好像狮子吼叫。呼喊完了，就有七雷发声。

4 and when the seven thunders spoke their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of Heaven saying to me, “Seal the things that the seven thunders spoke,” and, “You may not write these things.”

七雷发声之后，我正要写出来，就听见从天上有声音说：“七雷所说的，你要封上，不可写出来。”

5 And the messenger whom I saw standing on the sea, and on the land, lifted up his hand to the sky,

我所看见的那踏海踏地的天使向天举起右手来，

6 and swore by Him who lives through the ages of the ages, who created the sky and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it—that time will not be yet, (aiōn g165)

指着那创造天和天上之物，地和地上之物，海和海中之物，直活到永永远远的，起誓说：“不再有时日了。” (aiōn g165)

7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound the trumpet, and the secret of God may be accomplished, as He declared to His own servants, to the prophets.

但在第七位天使吹号发声的时候， 神的奥秘就成全了，正如 神所传给他仆人众先知的佳音。

8 And the voice that I heard out of Heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, “Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who has been standing on the sea, and on the land”:

我先前从天上所听见的那声音又吩咐我说：“你去，把那踏海踏地之天使手中展开的小书卷取过来。”

9 and I went away to the messenger, saying to him, “Give me the little scroll”; and he says to me, “Take, and eat it up, and it will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”

我就走到天使那里，对他说：“请你把小书卷给我。”他对我说：“你拿着吃尽了，便叫你肚子发苦，然而在你口中要甜如蜜。”

10 And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and ate it up, and it was in my mouth sweet as honey, and when I ate it my belly was made bitter;

我从天使手中把小书卷接过来，吃尽了，在我口中果然甜如蜜，吃了以后，肚子觉得发苦了。

11 and he says to me, “You must again prophesy about many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

天使对我说：“你必指着多民、多国、多方、多王再说预言。”
