¹And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

¹ሌላም ብርቱ መልአክ ደመና ተጐናጽፎ ከሰማይ ሲወርድ አየሁ፤ በራሱም ላይ ቀስተ ደመና ነበረ፥ ፊቱም እንደ ፀሐይ እግሮቹም እንደ እሳት ዓምዶች ነበሩ፥

²and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land,

²የተከፈተችንም ታናሽ መጽሐፍ በእጁ ያዘ። ቀኝ እግሩንም በባሕር ላይ ግራውንም በምድር ላይ አኖረ፥ እንደሚያገሣም አንበሳ በታላቅ ድምፅ ጮኸ።

³and he cried with a great voice, as a lion doth roar, and when he cried, speak out did the seven thunders their voices;

³በጮኸም ጊዜ ሰባቱ ነጐድጓድ በየድምፃቸው ተናገሩ።

⁴and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,` and, `Thou mayest not write these things.`

⁴ሰባቱ ነጐድጓድ በተናገሩ ጊዜ ልጽፍ አሰብሁ፤ ከሰማይም። ሰባቱ ነጐድጓድ የተናገሩትን ነገር በማኅተም ዝጋው አትጻፈውም የሚል ድምፅ ሰማሁ።

⁵And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven,

⁵በባሕርና በምድርም ላይ ሲቆም ያየሁት መልአክ ቀኝ እጁን ወደ ሰማይ አሻቅቦ ዘረጋ፥

⁶and did swear in Him who doth live to the ages of the ages, who did create the heaven and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it — that time shall not be yet,

⁶ሰማይንና በእርሱም ያሉትን፥ ምድርንና በእርስዋም ያሉትን፥ ባሕርንና በእርሱም ያሉትን በፈጠረው፥ ከዘላለምም እስከ ዘላለም ድረስ ሕያው ሆኖ በሚኖረው ምሎ።

⁷but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the prophets.

⁷ወደ ፊት አይዘገይም፥ ዳሩ ግን ሰባተኛው መልአክ ሊነፋ ባለው ጊዜ ድምፁም በሚሰማበት ዘመን፥ ለባሪያዎቹ ለነቢያት የምስራች እንደ ሰበከላቸው የእግዚአብሔር ምሥጢር ይፈጸማል አለ።

⁸And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, `Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:`

⁸ከሰማይም የሰማሁት ድምፅ እንደ ገና ሲናገረኝና። ሂድና በባሕርና በምድር ላይ ከሚቆመው መልአክ በእጁ ያለችውን የተከፈተችውን መጽሐፍ ውሰድ ሲል ሰማሁ።

⁹and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, `Give me the little scroll;` and he saith to me, `Take, and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet — as honey.`

⁹ወደ መልአኩም ሄጄ። ታናሺቱን መጽሐፍ ስጠኝ አልሁት። እርሱም። ውሰድና ብላት፥ ሆድህንም መራራ ታደርገዋለች በአፍህ ግን እንደ ማር ትጣፍጣለች አለኝ።

¹⁰And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey — sweet, and when I did eat it — my belly was made bitter;

¹⁰ከመልአኩም እጅ ታናሺቱን መጽሐፍ ወስጄ በላኋት በአፌም እንደ ማር ጣፋጭ ሆነች፤ ከበላኋት በኋላም ሆዴ መራራ ሆነ።

¹¹and he saith to me, `It behoveth thee again to prophesy about peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings — many.`

¹¹በብዙ ወገኖችና በአሕዛብም በቋንቋዎችም በነገሥታትም ላይ እንደ ገና ትንቢት ትናገር ዘንድ ይገባሃል ተባለልኝ።
