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

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

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

²and having in his hand a little opened book. And he set his right foot on the sea, and the left upon the earth,

³በጮኸም ጊዜ ሰባቱ ነጐድጓድ በየድምፃቸው ተናገሩ።

³and cried with a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.

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

⁴And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.

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

⁵And the angel whom I saw stand on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand to the heaven,

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

⁶and swore by him that lives to the ages of ages, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be no longer delay;

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

⁷but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God also shall be completed, as he has made known the glad tidings to his own bondmen the prophets.

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

⁸And the voice which I heard out of the heaven [was] again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth.

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

⁹And I went to the angel, saying to him to give me the little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.

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

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

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

¹¹And it was said to me, Thou must prophesy again as to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.
