< Revelation 15 >
1 And I saw another sign in the sky, great and wonderful: seven messengers having the seven last plagues, because in these the wrath of God was completed,
看見在天上又出現了一個又大又奇妙的異兆:有七位天使拿著七種最後的災禍,因為天主的義怒就要藉著這些災禍發洩淨盡。
2 and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, [and] the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God,
我又看見好像有個攙雜著火的玻璃海;那些戰勝了獸和獸像及牠名號數字的人,站在玻璃海上,拿著天主的琴,
3 and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and wonderful [are] Your works, O LORD God, the Almighty, righteous and true [are] Your ways, O King of holy ones!
歌唱天主的僕人梅瑟的歌曲和羔羊的歌曲說:「上主,全能的天主!你的功行偉大奇妙;萬民的君王!你的道路公平正直;
4 Who may not fear You, O LORD, and glorify Your Name? Because You alone [are] holy, because all the nations will come and worship before You, because Your righteous acts were revealed.”
誰敢不敬畏你?上主!誰敢不光榮你的名號?因為只有你是聖善的;萬民都要前來崇拜你,因為你正義的判斷,已彰明較著。」
5 And after these things I saw, and behold, the temple of the Dwelling Place of the Testimony was opened in Heaven;
這些事以後,我又看見天上盟約的帳幕--聖殿敞開了,
6 and the seven messengers having the seven plagues came forth out of the temple, clothed in linen, pure and radiant, and girded around the breasts with golden girdles:
那七位拿著七種災禍的天使,從聖殿那裏出來,身穿潔白而明亮的亞麻衣,胸間佩有金帶。
7 and one of the four living creatures gave to the seven messengers seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God, who is living through the ages of the ages; (aiōn )
那時,四個活物中的一個,給了那七位天使七個滿盛萬世萬代永生天主義怒的金盂。 (aiōn )
8 and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power, and no one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven messengers may be completed.
因著天主的榮耀和威能,殿內充滿了煙,沒有一個人能進入殿內,直到那七位天使的七樣災禍降完為止。
