Revelation 10
1 [In the vision] I saw another mighty angel that was coming down out of heaven. A cloud [surrounded him]. There was a rainbow over his head. His face [shone] [SIM] like the sun. His legs looked like pillars of fire.
Lalu saya melihat malaikat lainnya yang kuat turun dari surga, dengan awan yang membungkusnya dan sebuah pelangi di atas kepalanya. Wajahnya bersinar seperti matahari, dan kakinya seperti tiang api.
2 He had in his hand a small scroll that was open. He set his right foot on the ocean and his left foot on the land.
Malaikat itu memegang sebuah gulungan kecil yang sudah dibuka. Dia meletakkan kaki kanannya di atas laut, dan kaki kirinya di atas daratan.
3 He shouted something with a loud voice, a voice like the roar of a lion. When he shouted this, it thundered seven [times], speaking [words that I could understand].
Malaikat itu mengeluarkan teriakan yang sangat keras, seperti seekor singa yang mengaum. Ketika dia berteriak, tujuh guntur langsung merespon.
4 When it thundered [like that], I was about to write [the words that I] heard, but a voice from heaven said to me, “Keep secret what the thunder said! Do not write it down!”
Saya baru saja hendak menuliskan perkataan ketujuh guntur itu ketika saya mendengar sebuah suara dari surga yang berkata, “Simpanlah apa yang dikatakan ketujuh guruh itu di bawah meterai. Jangan ditulis.”
5 Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the ocean and the land raised his right hand toward heaven,
Malaikat yang saya lihat berdiri dengan satu kaki di laut dan satu kaki di bumi mengangkat tangan kanannya ke Surga.
6 and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn g165)
Dia membuat sumpah seperti ini kepada Dia yang hidup untuk selama-lamanya, pencipta langit dan segala yang ada di dalamnya, dan bumi dan segala yang ada di atasnya, dan laut serta segala isinya. “Tidak akan ada lagi penundaan!” (aiōn g165)
7 He said that when the time [came] for the seventh angel to blow his trumpet, [he] would complete what God had secretly planned, just like he announced [long ago] to his servants, the prophets.
Tetapi ketika malaikat yang ketujuh berbicara dan meniup terompetnya, maka rahasia Allah akan digenapi, kabar baik yang Allah beritakan melalui para nabi yang menjadi pelayan-pelayan Allah.
8 The one whose voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. He said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the ocean and on the land.”
Lalu saya mendengar kembali suara dari Surga yang berkata kepada saya, “Pergi dan ambillah gulungan kitab yang terbuka yang ada di tangan malaikat yang berdiri di atas laut dan di darat itu.”
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. In your mouth it will [taste] sweet like honey, but it will make your stomach bitter.”
Jadi saya pergi kepada malaikat itu, dan meminta agar dia menyerahkan kepadaku gulungan kitab kecil itu. Katanya, “Ambil dan makanlah. Kitab ini akan terasa pahit di dalam perutmu, tetapi akan terasa semanis madu di mulutmu.”
10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. In my mouth it [tasted] sweet like honey, but when I had eaten it, [it] made my stomach turn sour.
Saya mengambil gulungan kecil dari malaikat itu dan memakannya. Di mulutku rasanya manis seperti madu, tapi asam di perutku.
11 The one whose [voice spoke from heaven said to me], “You must (prophesy again/proclaim again what I will reveal to you) about many people-[groups], many nations, [speakers of] many languages [MTY], and many kings.”
Saya diberi tahu, “Kamu harus bernubuat lagi tentang banyak bangsa, bangsa, bahasa, dan raja.”
