< Wahyu 10 >
1 Dan aku melihat seorang malaikat lain yang kuat turun dari sorga, berselubungkan awan, dan pelangi ada di atas kepalanya dan mukanya sama seperti matahari, dan kakinya bagaikan tiang api.
Then I saw another mighty angel, descending from heaven. His robe was a cloud; over his head was the rainbow; his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;
2 Dalam tangannya ia memegang sebuah gulungan kitab kecil yang terbuka. Ia menginjakkan kaki kanannya di atas laut dan kaki kirinya di atas bumi,
in his hand he held a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land;
3 dan ia berseru dengan suara nyaring sama seperti singa yang mengaum. Dan sesudah ia berseru, ketujuh guruh itu memperdengarkan suaranya.
and he cried in a loud voice like the roaring of a lion. At his cry the seven peals of thunder spoke, each with its own voice.
4 Dan sesudah ketujuh guruh itu selesai berbicara, aku mau menuliskannya, tetapi aku mendengar suatu suara dari sorga berkata: "Meteraikanlah apa yang dikatakan oleh ketujuh guruh itu dan janganlah engkau menuliskannya!"
And, when they spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say – ‘Keep secret what the seven peals of thunder said, and do not write it down.’
5 Dan malaikat yang kulihat berdiri di atas laut dan di atas bumi, mengangkat tangan kanannya ke langit,
Then the angel, whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land, raised his right hand to the heavens,
6 dan ia bersumpah demi Dia yang hidup sampai selama-lamanya, yang telah menciptakan langit dan segala isinya, dan bumi dan segala isinya, dan laut dan segala isinya, katanya: "Tidak akan ada penundaan lagi! (aiōn )
and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, that time should cease to be. (aiōn )
7 Tetapi pada waktu bunyi sangkakala dari malaikat yang ketujuh, yaitu apabila ia meniup sangkakalanya, maka akan genaplah keputusan rahasia Allah, seperti yang telah Ia beritakan kepada hamba-hamba-Nya, yaitu para nabi."
Moreover at the time when the seventh angel will speak, when he is ready to blow his blast, then the hidden purposes of God, of which he told the good news to his servants, the prophets, are at once fulfilled.
8 Dan suara yang telah kudengar dari langit itu, berkata pula kepadaku, katanya: "Pergilah, ambillah gulungan kitab yang terbuka di tangan malaikat, yang berdiri di atas laut dan di atas bumi itu."
Then came the voice which I had heard from heaven. It spoke to me again, and said – ‘Go and take the book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.’
9 Lalu aku pergi kepada malaikat itu dan meminta kepadanya, supaya ia memberikan gulungan kitab itu kepadaku. Katanya kepadaku: "Ambillah dan makanlah dia; ia akan membuat perutmu terasa pahit, tetapi di dalam mulutmu ia akan terasa manis seperti madu."
So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said ‘Take it, and eat it. It will be bitter to your stomach, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’
10 Lalu aku mengambil kitab itu dari tangan malaikat itu, dan memakannya: di dalam mulutku ia terasa manis seperti madu, tetapi sesudah aku memakannya, perutku menjadi pahit rasanya.
I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and, while in my mouth, it was like the sweetest honey; but, when I had eaten it, it was bitter to my stomach.
11 Maka ia berkata kepadaku: "Engkau harus bernubuat lagi kepada banyak bangsa dan kaum dan bahasa dan raja."
And I was told – ‘You must prophesy again about men of many peoples, and nations, and languages, and about many kings.’
