Revelation 16
1 [In the vision] I heard [someone] in the temple speak in a loud voice to the angels [who had the seven bowls]. He said, “Go [from here] and pour out on the earth [the wine/liquid in] [MTY] the seven bowls. [This will show that] God is angry with [rebellious people and will punish them].”
Chrám se naplnil dýmem Boží velebnosti a moci. Nikdo teď nemohl vstoupit dovnitř, dokud andělé nevykonají soud na zemi. Ze svatyně jim přikázal hlas: „Jděte a vylijte těch sedm číší Božího hněvu na zemi!“
2 So the first angel went and poured out on the earth [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], horrible and painful sores broke out on God’s enemies who had allowed the beast’s [agents] to mark them and who worshipped the image of the beast.
První z andělů šel a vylil na zem svou číši. Tu se na lidech, kteří nesli znak šelmy a klaněli se její soše, objevily zhoubné vředy.
3 The second angel poured out on the ocean [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], the [water in the ocean stank like the blood] of a person who has died. [And] [MTY] every living creature that was in the ocean died.
Druhý anděl vlil obsah své číše do moře. Všechno živé v moři uhynulo, takže se naplnilo hnilobou a rozkladem.
4 The third angel poured out on the rivers and water springs [the wine/liquid] [MTY] [that was in] his bowl. [As a result, the water in the rivers and springs] turned into blood.
Třetí anděl vylil svou číši nad řekami a prameny vod. Vody byly zkaženy.
5 I heard the angel [who has authority over] the waters say [to God], “[O God], you exist and have always existed. You are the holy one. You judge people justly.
Slyšel jsem toho anděla, který měl moc nad vodami, jak říká: „Jsi spravedlivý, svatý a věčný Bože, a je to zasloužený rozsudek.
6 [The rebellious people] murdered your holy people and prophets. So you are just in punishing them by giving them blood to drink. This is what they deserve!”
Opíjeli se krví nevinných a proroků, a proto teď umírají žízní.“
7 Then I heard [an angel] respond [from] the altar [PRS], “Yes, Lord God, you who are almighty, you punish [people] rightly and justly!”
A mučedníci od oltáře se připojili: „Ano, všemohoucí Pane, soudíš spravedlivě a podle pravdy.“
8 Then the fourth angel poured out on the sun [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [He] enabled the sun to scorch [people] with fiery [heat].
Čtvrtý anděl vylil obsah své číše na slunce. Pálilo tak, že lidé padali těžkým úžehem. Místo aby činili pokání a aspoň teď vzdali Bohu čest, proklínali ho za tu pohromu.
9 Because people were severely burned by the intense heat {the intense heat severely burned people}, they said evil things about God [MTY], [because] he had the power [to strike people with] plagues like those. But they refused to stop their evil behavior and refused to honor him.
10 When the fifth angel poured out on the throne of the beast [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl, it became dark in the kingdom that the beast [ruled. As a result, the beast and the people whom it ruled] were biting their tongues because [they were suffering intense] pain.
Pátý anděl vylil číši na trůn šelmy a v jejím království se setmělo. Lidé, trýzněni již vředy, se bolestí až kousali do rtů.
11 They insulted God [who rules in] heaven, because their sores were so painful. But they refused to stop doing the [evil] things that they were doing.
A přece ještě zlořečili Bohu, místo aby se jejich ústa otevřela k pokání.
12 The sixth angel poured out on the huge river Euphrates [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, the] water [in the river] was dried up so that the rulers from the eastern [MTY] [countries could cross it with their armies] [SYN].
Šestý anděl vlil obsah své číše do veliké řeky Eufratu. Její vody vyschly, a tak se otevřela cesta pro vladaře z východu.
13 I saw evil spirits that looked like frogs. One came out of the mouth of the dragon, one from the mouth of the beast, and one from the mouth of the false prophet.
Tu jsem viděl, jak z tlamy draka, z huby šelmy a z úst lživého proroka vylezli tři nečistí duchové jako odporné ropuchy. Snažili se lidem imponovat různými divy. Obcházeli vládce světa, aby je získali za spojence k rozhodující bitvě proti všemohoucímu Bohu. Svolávali je na místo nazvané Harmagedon. Doba je vážná. Pán připomíná: „Přijdu nečekaně jako zloděj v noci. Dobře tomu, kdo bdí a je připraven.“
14 Those spirits were demons who were [able to] perform miracles. They went out to the rulers of the whole world, in order to gather their [armies] [SYN] together to the battle that [they will fight] on the wonderful day when Almighty God [punishes his enemies] [MTY].
15 The evil spirits will gather the rulers at a place that is called in the Hebrew [language] Armageddon. [I heard the Lord Jesus say], “[You must] listen carefully to [me]: I am coming unexpectedly [SIM], like a thief. [So], I will be happy with those who stay alert and [keep on living righteously so that they will not be ashamed], just like [MET] a person keeps his clothes [on] so that he will not be ashamed [like a person who is] naked.”
17 The seventh angel poured out into the air [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, someone] said with a loud voice from the throne in the temple, “[The time for God to finish punishing rebellious people] is [about to be] start.”
Sedmý anděl vylil svou číši do ovzduší a z chrámu zazněl mohutný hlas: „Je dokonáno!“
18 [When the angel emptied his bowl], lightning flashed, there were rumblings and thunder, and the earth shook. It shook more violently than it has ever shaken since people first [lived] on earth.
Strhla se bouře s blesky a hromy a celá země se otřásala; takové zemětřesení nezažil nikdo od počátku lidstva.
19 And [as a result], the very evil city [that is symbolized by Babylon] split into three parts. [God also] destroyed cities in [other] nations. God did not forget that [the people of] [MTY] the very evil [city symbolized by] Babylon [had sinned very much]. So he [caused the people with whom] he was furiously angry [MET] [to drink] a cup of very [poisonous wine/liquid that represented his punishment].
Bůh nezapomněl na hříchy velikého bezbožného města, zvaného Babylón. Dal mu pít z poháru svého trestajícího hněvu. Roztrhlo se na tři kusy a i ostatní města se zhroutila.
20 Also [as a result of the earthquake], every island disappeared, and the mountains became flat land.
Všechny ostrovy zmizely a po horách nezůstalo ani památky.
21 Also [as a result of the angel’s emptying his bowl], huge hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, fell from the sky onto the people. Then people insulted God because [he had caused] the destructive hail to fall on them in that terrible plague.
Lidi postihla nepředstavitelná zkáza – krupobití. A oni za tu strašnou pohromu proklínali Boha.
