< 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].”
آنگاه از معبد صدایی بلند شنیدم که به آن هفت فرشته می‌گفت: «بروید و هفت جام غضب خدا را بر زمین خالی کنید.»
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.
پس فرشتهٔ اول بیرون رفت و وقتی جام خود را بر زمین خالی کرد، در بدن کسانی که نشان آن وحش را داشتند و مجسمه‌اش را پرستش می‌کردند، زخمهایی دردناک و وحشتناک به وجود آمد.
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.
فرشتهٔ دوم جامش را در دریا ریخت و آب دریا مثل خون مرده شد، و تمام جانوران دریایی مردند.
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.
سپس فرشتهٔ سوم جام خود را بر رودخانه‌ها و چشمه‌ها ریخت و آب آنها به خون تبدیل شد.
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.
آنگاه شنیدم این فرشته که فرشتهٔ آبها بود، می‌گفت: «ای قدوس، که هستی و بوده‌ای، تو عادلی در این حکمها که فرستاده‌ای.
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!”
زیرا آنها خون مقدّسین و انبیای تو را ریختند. پس به آنان خون دادی تا بنوشند، چون سزایشان همین است.»
7 Then I heard [an angel] respond [from] the altar [PRS], “Yes, Lord God, you who are almighty, you punish [people] rightly and justly!”
آنگاه صدایی از مذبح شنیدم که می‌گفت: «بله، ای خداوند، ای خدای توانا، تو از روی حق و عدل داوری و مجازات می‌کنی.»
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].
سپس فرشتهٔ چهارم جامش را روی خورشید خالی کرد تا خورشید با آتش خود همه را بسوزاند.
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.
پس همه از آن حرارت شدید سوختند. اما به جای این که از افکار و رفتار بد خود توبه کرده، خدا را جلال دهند، به سبب این بلاها به او کفر می‌گفتند.
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.
فرشتهٔ پنجم جامش را بر تخت آن وحش ریخت، به طوری که تاج و تخت او در تاریکی فرو رفت، و دار و دستهٔ او از شدت درد، لبهای خود را می‌گزیدند.
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.
ایشان نیز از درد زخمهای خود، به خدای آسمان کفر گفتند و از رفتار بد خود توبه نکردند.
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].
فرشتهٔ ششم جامش را بر رودخانهٔ بزرگ فرات خالی کرد و آب رودخانه خشک شد، به طوری که پادشاهان مشرق‌زمین توانستند نیروهای خود را بدون برخورد با مانع به سوی غرب ببرند.
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.
آنگاه دیدم سه روح پلید به شکل قورباغه، از دهان اژدها و آن وحش و پیامبر دروغین بیرون آمدند.
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].
این روحهای پلید که می‌توانند معجزه نیز بکنند، به سراغ تمام فرمانروایان جهان رفتند تا در آن روز عظیم داوری خدا، آنها را به ضد خداوند وارد جنگ کنند.
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.”
حال، به آنچه عیسی مسیح می‌گوید توجه کنید: «مانند دزد، زمانی که منتظر نیستید می‌آیم! خوشا به حال کسی که برای بازگشت من آماده است و لباس خود را نگاه می‌دارد مبادا برهنه راه رود و رسوا شود.»
آنگاه تمام لشکرهای جهان را در محلی گرد آوردند که به زبان عبری آن را «حارمجدون» (یعنی «کوه مجدو») می‌نامند.
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.”
فرشتهٔ هفتم نیز جامش را در هوا خالی کرد. آنگاه از آن تخت که در معبد بود، صدایی بلند شنیدم که می‌گفت: «همه چیز به پایان رسید!»
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.
در آن هنگام، چنان رعد و برق و زمین لرزهٔ شدیدی شد که در تاریخ بشر سابقه نداشت.
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].
شهر بزرگ بابِل نیز سه قسمت گردید و سایر شهرهای دنیا هم به صورت توده‌های پاره سنگ درآمدند. به این ترتیب، خدا از گناهان بابِل چشم‌پوشی نکرد، بلکه جام غضب خود را تا آخرین قطره، به او نوشانید؛
20 Also [as a result of the earthquake], every island disappeared, and the mountains became flat land.
جزیره‌ها ناپدید و کوهها زیر و رو شدند؛
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.
تگرگ وحشتناکی بر سر مردم بارید، تگرگی که هر دانهٔ آن پنجاه کیلو بود! و مردم برای این بلای وحشتناک به خدا کفر و ناسزا گفتند.
