摩西的歌和羔羊的歌
1我看見天上又有一個宏大奇異的景象，有七位天使掌管著最後的七種災禍，上帝要藉這些災禍發盡祂的烈怒。 2我看見一個好像夾雜著火的玻璃海，玻璃海上站著那些戰勝怪獸、獸像及獸名代號的人。他們手裡拿著上帝所賜的豎琴， 3口裡唱著上帝的奴僕摩西的歌和羔羊的歌：
「全能的主上帝啊，
你的作為偉大奇妙！
萬國的王啊，
你的道路公義真實！
4主啊，誰敢不敬畏你，
不尊崇你的名呢？
因為只有你是聖潔的，
萬民都必到你面前敬拜你，
因為你公義的作為已經彰顯出來了。」
天使降七災
5這事之後，我看見天上存放約櫃的聖殿打開了。 6那掌管七種災禍的七位天使都從殿中出來，身穿潔白發光的細麻布衣服，胸佩金帶。 7四個活物中的一個將七隻金碗分別交給七位天使，碗中盛滿了永活上帝的烈怒。 8殿裡因為上帝的榮耀和權能而煙霧彌漫，人們必須等到七位天使將七樣災禍降完，才能進入聖殿。
Seven Angels With Seven Plagues
1I saw in heaven another great and wonderful sign. Seven angels were about to bring the seven last plagues. The plagues would complete God’s anger. 2Then I saw something that looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire. Standing beside the sea were those who had won the battle over the beast. They had also overcome its statue and the number of its name. They held harps given to them by God. 3They sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb. They sang,
“Lord God who rules over all,
everything you do is great and wonderful.
King of the nations,
your ways are true and fair.
4Lord, who will not have respect for you?
Who will not bring glory to your name?
You alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship you.
They see that the things you do are right.”
5After this I looked, and I saw the temple in heaven. And it was opened. The temple is the holy tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept. 6Out of the temple came the seven angels who were bringing the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen. They wore gold strips of cloth around their chests. 7Then one of the four living creatures gave seven golden bowls to the seven angels. The bowls were filled with the anger of God, who lives for ever and ever. 8The temple was filled with smoke that came from the glory and power of God. No one could enter the temple at that time. They had to wait until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
