< Revelation 10 >
1 Then I saw another mighty angel, descending from heaven. His robe was a cloud; over his head was the rainbow; his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;
And I saw another angel mighty coming down out of heaven having clothed himself with a cloud, and the rainbow upon (the head *NK(o)*) of him, and the face of him [was] like the sun, and the feet of him like pillars of fire,
2 in his hand he held a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land;
and (having *N(k)O*) in the hand of him (a little scroll *NK(o)*) opened And he placed the foot of him right upon (the sea, *N(k)O*) the and left upon (the earth, *N(k)O*)
3 and he cried in a loud voice like the roaring of a lion. At his cry the seven peals of thunder spoke, each with its own voice.
And he cried out in a voice loud as a lion roars. And when he cried out, sounded the seven thunders the their own voice.
4 And, when they spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say – ‘Keep secret what the seven peals of thunder said, and do not write it down.’
And when spoke the seven thunders, (the voices of themselves *K*) I was about to write. But I heard a voice out of heaven saying (to me *K*) do seal what spoke the seven thunders, and not (them *N(k)O*) may write.
5 Then the angel, whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land, raised his right hand to the heavens,
And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up the hand of him (the right *NO*) to heaven
6 and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, that time should cease to be. (aiōn )
and he swore by the [One] living to the ages of the ages, who created heaven and the [things] in it and the earth and the [things] in it and the sea and the [things] in it that Delay no longer no longer will there be! (aiōn )
7 Moreover at the time when the seventh angel will speak, when he is ready to blow his blast, then the hidden purposes of God, of which he told the good news to his servants, the prophets, are at once fulfilled.
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he may soon to sound [the] trumpet, then (would be completed *N(k)O*) the mystery of God, as evangelised ([to] those *N(k)O*) (His own *NK(o)*) (servants [to] the prophets. *N(k)O*)
8 Then came the voice which I had heard from heaven. It spoke to me again, and said – ‘Go and take the book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.’
And the voice that I heard out of heaven again (was speaking *N(k)O*) with me and (saying; *N(k)O*) do go do take the (little scroll *N(k)O*) which opened in the hand of the angel who standing upon the sea and upon the land.
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said ‘Take it, and eat it. It will be bitter to your stomach, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’
And I went to the angel saying to him (to give *N(k)O*) me the little scroll. And he says to me; do take and do eat it. and it will make bitter your stomach, but in the mouth of you it will be sweet as honey.
10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and, while in my mouth, it was like the sweetest honey; but, when I had eaten it, it was bitter to my stomach.
And I took the (little scroll *NK(o)*) out of the hand of the angel and I ate it, and it was in the mouth of mine as honey sweet; and when I had eaten it, was made bitter the stomach of mine.
11 And I was told – ‘You must prophesy again about men of many peoples, and nations, and languages, and about many kings.’
And (they say *N(k)O*) to me; It is necessary for you again to prophesy concerning peoples and (concerning *o*) nations and [concerning] tongues and [concerning] kings many.
