¹And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

¹Lalu saya melihat seorang malaikat perkasa yang lain turun dari surga. Ia diselubungi awan, dan sebuah pelangi melingkari kepalanya. Mukanya bersinar seperti matahari, dan kakinya seperti tiang api.

²And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

²Di tangannya ada sebuah gulungan buku kecil yang terbuka. Kaki kanannya berjejak di laut, dan kaki kirinya berjejak di darat.

³And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

³Lalu ia berseru dengan suara yang keras seperti meraungnya singa-singa. Sesudah malaikat itu berseru, ketujuh guntur menjawab dengan suara gemuruh.

⁴And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

⁴Begitu ketujuh guntur itu bersuara, saya mau mencatatnya, tetapi saya mendengar suara dari surga berkata, "Rahasiakanlah apa yang dikatakan oleh tujuh guntur itu; jangan mencatatnya!"

⁵And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

⁵Lalu malaikat yang saya lihat berjejak di laut dan di darat itu mengangkat tangan kanannya ke langit.

⁶And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

⁶Ia bersumpah demi nama Allah yang hidup selama-lamanya, yang menciptakan langit, bumi dan laut serta segala sesuatu yang ada di dalamnya. Malaikat itu berkata, "Waktunya tidak akan ditunda lagi!

⁷But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

⁷Tetapi apabila malaikat ketujuh meniup trompetnya, Allah akan melaksanakan rencana rahasia-Nya, seperti telah Ia beritakan kepada hamba-hamba-Nya, yaitu para nabi."

⁸And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

⁸Kemudian suara yang telah saya dengar dari surga itu, berbicara lagi kepada saya. Ia berkata, "Pergilah mengambil gulungan buku yang terbuka di tangan malaikat yang berjejak di laut dan di darat itu."

⁹And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

⁹Maka saya pun pergi kepada malaikat itu dan meminta supaya ia memberikan gulungan kecil itu kepada saya. Ia berkata, "Ambillah dan makanlah ini. Di dalam perutmu ia akan menjadi pahit, tetapi di dalam mulutmu ia manis seperti madu."

¹⁰And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

¹⁰Saya mengambil gulungan kecil itu dari tangannya lalu memakannya. Di mulut rasanya seperti madu, tetapi setelah saya menelannya, di dalam perut ia menjadi pahit.

¹¹And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

¹¹Kemudian saya diperintahkan, "Sebarkanlah sekali lagi berita Allah tentang bangsa-bangsa, negara-negara, bahasa-bahasa, dan raja-raja."
