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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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!"

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.

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

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

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!

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;

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

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.

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."

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.

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."

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.

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

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.

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

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