Revelation 10

1 And I saw another, a mighty messenger, descending out of heaven, —arrayed with a cloud, and, the rainbow, was upon his head, and, his face, was as the sun, and, his feet, were as pillars of fire,

I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

2 and [he was] holding in his hand a little scroll, opened; and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the land,

He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.

3 and cried out with a loud voice, just as a lion, roareth. And, when he cried out, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.

He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And, when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of heaven, saying—Seal up the things which the seven thunders have uttered, and do not write, them.

When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and do not write them.”

5 And, the messenger, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted up his right hand unto heaven,

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky

6 and sware, by him that liveth unto the ages of ages, who created heaven, and the things that are therein, and the earth, and the things that are therein, [and the sea, and the things that are therein, ] Delay, no longer, shall there be; (aiōn g165)

and swore by him who lives for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165), who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,

7 but, in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, as soon as he is about to blow his trumpet, then shall have been completed the sacred secret of God as he told the good-news unto his own servants the prophets.

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants the prophets.

8 And, the voice which I had heard out of heaven, [I] again [heard] talking with me; and saying—Go take the opened scroll, that is in the hand of the messenger who is standing upon the sea and upon the land.

The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.”

9 And I went away unto the messenger, asking him to give me the little scroll; and he saith unto me—Take it, and eat it up; and it shall embitter thy belly, but, in thy mouth, shall be sweet as honey.

I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”

10 And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up; and it was, in my mouth, as honey, sweet, and, when I had eaten it, embittered was my belly.

I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

11 And they say unto me—It behoveth thee again to prophesy against peoples and nations and tongues, and many kings.

They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
