< Revelation 15 >
1 Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
Я побачив на небі ще одне велике й дивовижне знамення: сім ангелів із сімома останніми карами, бо ними закінчується Божий гнів.
2 I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
І я побачив щось схоже на скляне море, змішане з вогнем, і тих, хто переміг звіра, його образ та число його імені. Вони стояли біля моря й тримали Божі арфи.
3 They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
Вони співали пісню раба Божого Мойсея та Агнця, кажучи: «Великі та дивовижні діла Твої, Господи Боже, Вседержителю! Праведні та правдиві шляхи Твої, Царю народів!
4 O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
Хто не боятиметься Тебе, Господи, і не принесе слави Твоєму імені? Бо Ти один святий. Усі народи прийдуть і поклонятимуться перед Тобою, бо відкрились Твої праведні вчинки!»
5 After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
Після цього я подивився й побачив на небі відкритий Храм – Оселю одкровення.
6 The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
Із Храму вийшли сім ангелів із сімома карами. Вони були одягнені в чистий блискучий льняний [одяг] і були оперезані на грудях золотими поясами.
7 One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn )
Тоді одна з чотирьох живих істот дала семи ангелам сім золотих чаш, наповнених гнівом Бога, Який живе навіки-віків. (aiōn )
8 The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
І Храм наповнився димом від слави Божої та від Його сили, і ніхто не міг увійти до Храму, поки не буде закінчено сім кар сімох ангелів.
