Revelation 11

1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there.

1 有一根像杖一样的量杆赐给我，并有声音吩咐我说：“起来，量一量上帝的殿和祭坛，并数点在殿里敬拜的人。

2 But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.

2 你不用量圣殿的外院，因为这部分已经给了外族人，他们要践踏圣城四十二个月。

3 And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

3 我要赐权柄给我的两个见证人，他们将身穿麻衣，传道一千二百六十天。”

4 These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

4 这两位见证人就是竖立在世界之主面前的那两棵橄榄树和两座灯台。

5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.

5 若有人要伤害他们，他们便从口中喷出火焰，烧灭敌人；若有人企图加害他们，必定会这样被杀。

6 These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.

6 他们有权在传道期间使天关闭无雨，又有权变水为血，并随时用各种灾祸击打世界。

7 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them.

7 当他们做完见证以后，从无底坑上来的兽要和他们交战，并战胜他们，把他们杀掉。

8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.

8 他们便陈尸在大城的街上，这大城按寓意名叫所多玛，又名埃及，是他们的主被钉在十字架上的地方。

9 For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.

9 三天半之久，他们的尸体不得埋葬，各民族、各部落、各语言族群、各国家的人都观看他们的尸体。

10 And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

10 地上万民都兴高采烈，互送礼物，因为这两位先知曾使地上的人受苦。

11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.

11 三天半过后，从上帝而来的生命之气进入二人里面，他们便站立起来。看见的人都害怕极了。

12 And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.

12 接着他们听见天上有响亮的声音呼唤他们：“上这里来！”他们就在敌人的注视下驾云升上天去。

13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

13 就在那一刻，发生了强烈的地震，那座城的十分之一倒塌了，因地震死亡的共七千人，生还者都在恐惧中将荣耀归给天上的上帝。

14 The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.

14 第二样灾难过去了，第三样灾难又接踵而来！

15 Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”

15 第七位天使吹响了号角，天上有响亮的声音说：“世上的国度现在已经属于我们的主和祂所立的基督了。祂要做王，直到永永远远。”

16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

16 在上帝面前，坐在自己宝座上的二十四位长老都一同俯伏敬拜上帝，说：

17 saying: “We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.

17 “主啊！昔在、今在的全能上帝啊！ 我们感谢你， 因你已执掌大权做王了。

18 The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great—and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

18 列国曾充满愤怒， 现在你发烈怒的时候到了。 时候已到，你要审判死人， 你要赏赐你的奴仆、先知、圣徒 和一切不论尊卑敬畏你名的人， 你要毁灭那些毁坏世界的人。”

19 Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.

19 那时，天上上帝的圣殿敞开了，殿内的约柜清晰可见，又有闪电、巨响、雷鸣、地震和大冰雹。
