Revelation 10

1 Then I saw another strong angel coming down from Heaven. He was robed in a cloud, and over his head was the rainbow. His face was like the sun, and his feet resembled pillars of fire.

我又看见一位力量强大的天使从天上而降，身披云彩，头上有彩虹，脸像太阳，两脚如火柱。

2 In his hand he held a small scroll unrolled; and, planting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

他手里拿着展开的小书卷，将右脚踏在海上，左脚踏在地上，

3 he cried out in a loud voice which resembled the roar of a lion. And when he had cried out, each of the seven peals of thunder uttered its own message.

他如狮子般大声呼叫。在呼喊的时候，有七个惊雷回应它。

4 And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write down what they had said; but I heard a voice from Heaven which told me to keep secret all that the seven peals of thunder had said, and not write it down.

七声惊雷响起时，我正要写下来，就听见天上传来一个声音说：“你要封印七雷所说的，不要写出来！”

5 Then the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted his right hand toward Heaven.

我看见那天使站在海上和地上，向天举起右手。

6 And in the name of Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, the Creator of Heaven and all that is in it, of the earth and all that is in it, and of the sea and all that is in it, he solemnly declared, (aiōn g165)

他凭着那创造天和天中万物、地和地中万物、海和海中万物，永生永世的主发了一个神圣的誓言。说：“不能再耽搁了！ (aiōn g165)

7 "There shall be no further delay; but in the days when the seventh angel blows his trumpet--when he begins to do so--then the secret purposes of God are realized, in accordance with the good news which He gave to His servants the Prophets."

但当第七位天使说话并吹响号角时，上帝的奥秘、他向其仆人和众先知们宣布的福音就要实现了。”

8 Then the voice which I had heard speaking from Heaven once more addressed me. It said, "Go and take the little book which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

然后我再次听到那天上传来的声音对我说：“去吧，去那站在海上和地上天使处，将他手中展开的书卷拿过来。”

9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. "Take it," he said, "and eat the whole of it. You will find it bitter when you have eaten it, although in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey."

我走到天使那里，请他把小书卷给我。他对我说：“拿着吧，吃下去。它会让你的肠胃发酸，但是口里却好像蜜一样甘甜。”

10 So I took the roll out of the angel's hand and ate the whole of it; and in my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it I found it very bitter.

我把小书卷从天使手中拿过来，吃下去，口里甘甜如蜜，但吃下去却感觉肠胃发酸。

11 And a voice said to me, "You must prophesy yet further concerning peoples, nations, languages, and many kings."

他又对我说：“关于众多民族、国家、语言和君王，你必须再次做出预言。”
