Revelation 11
1 [An angel gave] to me a reed similar to a measuring stick. He said [to me], “[Christ says this: ‘Go] to the temple [where people worship] God, measure it and the altar [in it], and count the people who worship there.
Et datus est mihi calamus similis virgae, et dictum est mihi: Surge, et metire templum Dei, et altare, et adorantes in eo.
2 But do not measure the courtyard outside [of the temple] [DOU], because [it] has been given {[God] has given it} to [the] non-Jewish [people. As a result], they will trample [Jerusalem city] for 42 months.
atrium autem, quod est infra templum, eiice foras, et ne metiaris illud: quoniam datum est Gentibus, et civitatem sanctam calcabunt mensibus quadraginta duobus:
3 I will appoint my two (witnesses/men who will tell others about me). They will proclaim what I reveal to them for 1,260 days. They will wear [rough] clothes made from goat’s hair [to show that they are sad about people’s sin].’”
et dabo duobus testibus meis, et prophetabunt diebus mille ducentis sexaginta, amicti saccis.
4 Those [witnesses are the ones] that are represented by the two olive trees and the two lampstands that are in the presence of the Lord [who rules] the earth [SYM].
Hi sunt duae olivae, et duo candelabra in conspectu Domini terrae stantia.
5 If enemies try to harm those [witnesses], fire will come from the mouths of the witnesses and destroy them. If people want to harm them, [the two witnesses] will certainly kill them similarly.
Et si quis voluerit eos nocere, ignis exiet de ore eorum, et devorabit inimicos eorum: et si quis voluerit eos laedere, sic oportet eum occidi.
6 Those [witnesses] will have authority to keep rain from falling during the time that they are proclaiming what God reveals to them. They also will have authority to cause water [everywhere] to become [red like] [MET] blood, and [authority] to cause all kinds of plagues to occur. They will do this as often as they want to.
Hi habent potestatem claudendi caelum, ne pluat diebus prophetiae ipsorum: et potestatem habent super aquas convertendi eas in sanguinem, et percutere terram omni plaga quotiescumque voluerint.
7 When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Et cum finierint testimonium suum, bestia, quae ascendit de abysso, faciet adversum eos bellum, et vincet illos, et occidet eos. (Abyssos g12)
8 The dead bodies of the [two] witnesses will lie in the street of the great city where their Lord was crucified, the city that is symbolically named Sodom or Egypt [because its people are very evil, like the people who lived in Sodom and Egypt].
Et corpora eorum iacebunt in plateis civitatis magnae, quae vocatur spiritualiter Sodoma, et Aegyptus, ubi et Dominus eorum crucifixus est.
9 Individuals of many people-[groups], tribes, language [groups] [MTY], and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days. But these individuals will not allow [anyone] to bury their bodies.
Et videbunt de tribubus, et populis, et linguis, et Gentibus corpora eorum per tres dies, et dimidium: et corpora eorum non sinent poni in monumentis.
10 When the [rebellious] people who live on the earth [see that the witnesses are dead], they will rejoice and celebrate. They will send gifts to each other, because these two prophets had [caused plagues to occur which] tormented the [rebellious] people on the earth.
et inhabitantes terram gaudebunt super illos, et iucundabuntur: et munera mittent invicem, quoniam hi duo prophetae cruciaverunt eos, qui habitabant super terram.
11 But after three and a half days, God will cause those two witnesses to breathe again and live. They will stand up, and those who see them will be terrified.
Et post dies tres, et dimidium, spiritus vitae a Deo intravit in eos. Et steterunt super pedes suos, et timor magnus cecidit super eos, qui viderunt eos.
12 The [two witnesses] will hear a loud voice which came from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” Then they will go up to heaven in a cloud. Their enemies will see them [as they ascend].
Et audierunt vocem magnam de caelo, dicentem eis: Ascendite huc. Et ascenderunt in caelum in nube: et viderunt illos inimici eorum.
13 At that same time there will be a terrible earthquake, which will cause a tenth of [the buildings in] [MTY] the city will collapse, and 7,000 people will die. The rest of the people will be afraid and [acknowledge] that the God [who rules in] heaven is awesome.
Et in illa hora factus est terraemotus magnus, et decima pars civitatis cecidit: et occisa sunt in terraemotu nomina hominum septem millia: et reliqui in timorem sunt missi, et dederunt gloriam Deo caeli.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Vae secundum abiit: et ecce vae tertium veniet cito.
15 Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn g165)
Et septimus angelus tuba cecinit: et factae sunt voces magnae in caelo dicentes: Factum est regnum huius mundi, Domini nostri et Christi eius, et regnabit in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
Et viginti quattuor seniores, qui in conspectu Dei sedent in sedibus suis, ceciderunt in facies suas, et adoraverunt Deum, dicentes:
17 They said: Lord God, you are the Almighty One! You are the one who exists now! You are the one who has always existed! We thank you that you have defeated by your power everyone who has rebelled against you, and you now rule over everyone in the world.
Gratias agimus tibi Domine Deus noster omnipotens, qui es, et qui eras, et qui venturus es: quia accepisti virtutem tuam magnam, et regnasti.
18 The unbelieving people of [MTY] the nations were raging at you. As a result you have become very angry with them. You have decided that this is the appropriate time for you to judge all the dead people. You have also decided that it is the time for you to reward all your servants, both the prophets and the rest of your people who reverence you [MTY], whether they were considered socially significant/important or socially insignificant/unimportant. It is time for you to reward all of them! You have also decided it is the time for you to destroy the people who are destroying others on the earth.
Et iratae sunt Gentes, et advenit ira tua, et tempus mortuorum iudicari, et reddere mercedem servis tuis Prophetis, et sanctis, et timentibus nomen tuum pusillis, et magnis, et exterminandi eos, qui corruperunt terram.
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened {was open} and [I] saw in the temple the sacred box/chest that contains God’s commandments. Lightning was flashing, it was thundering and rumbling, the earth shook, and large hailstones [fell from the sky].
Et apertum est templum Dei in caelo: et visa est arca testamenti eius in templo eius, et facta sunt fulgura, et voces, et tonitrua, et terraemotus, et grando magna.
