Ang Duha ka Saksi

11 Dayon ginhatagan ako sang inugtakos nga daw sa baston. Nagsiling ang naghatag sa akon, “Sige, taksa ang templo sang Dios kag ang halaran, kag isipa dayon kon pila ang nagasimba didto. Pero ang sa guwa sang templo indi lang pag-ilakip takos kay ina para sa mga tawo nga wala makakilala sa Dios. Ini sila amo ang magaguba sang balaan nga siyudad sang Jerusalem sa sulod sang 42 ka bulan. Kag sa sina nga mga inadlaw ipadala ko ang akon duha ka saksi nga magasuksok sang sako bilang tanda sa mga tawo nga dapat na sila maghinulsol. Kag magawali sila sang akon ipawali sa ila sa sulod sang 1,260 ka adlaw.”

Ang ining duha ka saksi amo ang duha ka kahoy nga olibo[a] kag duha ka suga nga nagatindog sa atubangan sang Ginoo, nga amo ang Ginoo sa bug-os nga kalibutan. Kon may magtinguha sa pagsakit sa ila, may kalayo nga magaguwa sa ila baba kag magalaglag sang ila mga kaaway. Pareho sini ang pagpatay sa kay bisan sin-o nga gusto magsakit sa ila. May gahom man sila sa pagpugong sang ulan agod indi mag-ulan samtang nagawali sila sang pulong sang Dios. May gahom man sila nga ang tubig sa mga tuburan mahimo nila nga dugo. Kag indi lang ina kundi may gahom pa gid sila sa paghalit sang bug-os nga kalibutan paagi sa nagkalain-lain nga mga kalalat-an sa bisan ano nga oras nga gusto nila.

Kon makatapos na sila sa pagwali sang pulong sang Dios, awayon sila sang dako nga sapat nga magaguwa halin sa madalom nga buho. Ining duha ka manugwali mapierdi sang sapat kag patyon dayon sila. Ang ila bangkay mabilin lang sa karsada sang bantog nga siyudad, nga sa diin ang ila Ginoo ginlansang sa krus. Ang ini nga siyudad nagasimbolo sang Sodom ukon Egipto. Sa sulod sang tatlo ka adlaw kag tunga, didto ang ila bangkay sa karsada nga ginatan-aw sang mga tawo sa nagkalain-lain nga lahi, tribo, lingguahe kag nasyon. Kag indi magtugot ang mga tawo nga ipalubong sila. 10 Magakalipay gid ang mga tawo sa kalibutan tungod kay napatay na atong duha ka tawo. Magaselebrar sila kag magaregaluhay tungod nga napatay ang duha ka propeta sang Dios nga nagdala sing madamo nga kalisod sa mga tawo sa kalibutan. 11 Pero pagkaligad sang tatlo ka adlaw kag tunga, ginbuhi liwat sang Dios ang ila mga bangkay. Nagtindog sila kag ang tanan nga nakakita sa ila hinadlukan. 12 Dayon ang ining duha ka saksi nakabati sang tingog nga mabaskog halin sa langit nga nagasiling, “Dali, saka kamo diri sa langit!” Kag samtang nagatan-aw ang ila mga kaaway, nagkayab sila pa-langit. 13 Sa amo man nga oras naglinog sing mabaskog. Ang ikanapulo nga parte sang siyudad naguba, kag 7,000 ka tawo ang nagkalamatay sa ato nga linog. Ang mga tawo nga wala nagkalamatay kinulbaan, kag nagdayaw sila sa Dios sang langit.[b]

14 Ang ikaduha nga makahaladlok nga hitabo tapos na, pero may masunod pa nga ikatatlo.

Ang Ikapito nga Trumpeta

15 Ang ikapito nga anghel nagpatunog sang iya trumpeta, kag may mabaskog nga mga tingog sa langit nga nagasiling, “Karon ang aton Ginoo kag ang iya pinili nga si Cristo amo na ang magahari sa kalibutan. Kag ang iya paghari wala sing katapusan!” 16 Kag ang 24 ka manugdumala nga nagapungko sa ila mga trono sa atubangan sang Dios nagluhod dayon kag nagsimba sa Dios, 17 nga nagasiling,

“Ginoong Dios nga makagagahom sa tanan,
ikaw ang Dios sang una, kag ikaw man ang Dios subong.
Nagapasalamat kami sa imo tungod kay gin-gamit mo na ang imo gahom,
kag nag-umpisa ka na nga maghari sa kalibutan.
18 Puwerte gid ang kaakig sang mga tawo nga wala nagakilala sa imo.
Kay nag-abot na ang oras nga silutan mo sila.
Kag ang mga patay hukman mo na.
Amo na ini ang oras nga hatagan mo sing padya ang imo mga alagad, ang mga propeta, ang imo mga katawhan, kag ang tanan nga nagatahod sa imo, bantog man ukon indi.
Oras na nga pamatyon mo ang mga tawo nga nagaguba sang kalibutan.”

19 Pagkatapos sadto, gin-abrihan ang templo sang Dios didto sa langit. Kag didto sa sulod, makita ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Dios. Dayon nagpangilat, nagginahod, kag nagdinaguob. Naglinog man kag nag-ulan sing yelo nga daw mga bato.

The Two Witnesses

11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod(A) and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court;(B) do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.(C) They will trample on the holy city(D) for 42 months.(E) And I will appoint my two witnesses,(F) and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,(G) clothed in sackcloth.”(H) They are “the two olive trees”(I) and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a](J) If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.(K) This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.(L) They have power to shut up the heavens(M) so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;(N) and they have power to turn the waters into blood(O) and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast(P) that comes up from the Abyss(Q) will attack them,(R) and overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city(S)—which is figuratively called Sodom(T) and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.(U) For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation(V) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.(W) 10 The inhabitants of the earth(X) will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,(Y) because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

11 But after the three and a half days(Z) the breath[b] of life from God entered them,(AA) and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”(AB) And they went up to heaven in a cloud,(AC) while their enemies looked on.

13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake(AD) and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory(AE) to the God of heaven.(AF)

14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.(AG)

The Seventh Trumpet

15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(AH) and there were loud voices(AI) in heaven, which said:

“The kingdom of the world has become
    the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,(AJ)
    and he will reign for ever and ever.”(AK)

16 And the twenty-four elders,(AL) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces(AM) and worshiped God, 17 saying:

“We give thanks(AN) to you, Lord God Almighty,(AO)
    the One who is and who was,(AP)
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.(AQ)
18 The nations were angry,(AR)
    and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,(AS)
    and for rewarding your servants the prophets(AT)
and your people who revere your name,
    both great and small(AU)
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

19 Then God’s temple(AV) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.(AW) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,(AX) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.(AY)

11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
