< 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.
І дано менї тростину, подібну до жезла; і стояв ангел глаголючи: Встань, і змір храм Божий, і жертівню, і тих, що покланяють ся у ньому.
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.
А двір, що навперід храма, викинь геть, і не мір його, бо він даний поганам; і топтати муть город сьвятий, місяців сорок і два.
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].’”
І дам двом моїм сьвідкам, і пророкувати муть днїв тисяч двісті шістьдесять, з'одягнені у веретища.
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].
Се дві оливинї, і два сьвічники, що перед Богом землї стоять.
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.
А коли хто схоче з'обідити їх, то огонь вийде з уст їх, і пожере ворогів їх; і коли хто схоче з'обідити їх, то (й) він мусить так бути вбитий.
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.
Сї мають власть зачинити небо, щоб не йшов дощ за днїв їх пророкування, і мають власть над водами, обернути їх у кров, і вдарити на землю всякою поразою, скільки раз схочуть.
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)
А коли скінчять свідкування своє, то зьвір, вийшовши з безоднї, заведе з ними війну, і побідить їх, і повбивав їх. (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].
А трупи їх будуть на улицях великого города, що зоветь ся духовно Содома й Єгипет, де і Господь, наш рознятий.
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.
І бачити муть (многі) з людей, і родів, і язиків, і народів трупи їх три і пів дня, і не дозволять до гробів положити трупів їх.
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.
І радувати муть ся над ними ті, що домують на землї, і веселити муть ся; і дари посилати муть один одному; бо сї два пророки мучили домуючих на землї.
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.
А після трьох і пів дня дух життя від Бота зійшов на них, і вони встали на ноги свої, а великий страх напав тих, що виділи їх.
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].
І почули голос великий з неба, що глаголав їм: Зійдіть сюди. І зійшли на небо в хмарі, і дивились на них вороги їх.
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.
І постало тієї години велике трясеннє і десята часть города впала, і забило у трясенню сїм тисяч імен людських; а другі полякались, і дали славу Богу небесному.
14 That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
Горе друге перейшло; ось, горе третє настигає хутко.
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)
І затрубив семий ангел, і постали великі голоси на небі, глаголючи: царства сьвіта стали (царствами) Господа нашого й Його Христа, і царювати ме по вічні віки. (aiōn g165)
16 The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped him.
А двайцять і чотири старцї, що перед Богом сидїли на престолах своїх, впали на лиця свої, і поклонились Богу,
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.
глаголючи: Дякуємо Тобі, Господи і Боже вседержителю, що єси, і був, і прийдеш, що приняв єси силу Твою велику і воцарив ся єси.
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.
І розгнівились погане, і настиг гнїв твій, і пора мертвим суд приняти, і дати нагороду слугам твоїм пророкам, і сьвятим, і боячим ся імени Твого, і малим, і великим, і знищити тих, що нищять землю.
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].
І відчинив ся храм Божий в небі, і видно було ковчег завіту Його в храмі Його; і постали блискавки, і гуркіт і громи, і трясеннє, і великий град.
