我又看見另有一位大力的天使從天降下，披著雲彩，頭上有虹，臉面像日頭，兩腳像火柱。
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.
我又看見另有一位大力的天使從天降下，披著雲彩，頭上有虹，臉面像日頭，兩腳像火柱。
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.
他手裏拿著小書卷，是展開的。他右腳踏海，左腳踏地，
He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,
大聲呼喊，好像獅子吼叫。呼喊完了，就有七雷發聲。
and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded.
七雷發聲之後，我正要寫出來，就聽見從天上有聲音說：「七雷所說的，你要封上，不可寫出來。」
And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
我所看見的那踏海踏地的天使向天舉起右手來，
And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
指著那創造天和天上之物，地和地上之物，海和海中之物，直活到永永遠遠的，起誓說：「不再有時日了〔或作「不再耽延了」〕。」
and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay,
但在第七位天使吹號發聲的時候，神的奧祕就成全了，正如神所傳給他僕人眾先知的佳音。
but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.
我先前從天上所聽見的那聲音又吩咐我說：「你去，把那踏海踏地之天使手中展開的小書卷取過來。」
Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
我就走到天使那裏，對他說：「請你把小書卷給我。」他對我說：「你拿著吃盡了，便叫你肚子發苦，然而在你口中要甜如蜜。」
So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
我從天使手中把小書卷接過來，吃盡了，在我口中果然甜如蜜，吃了以後，肚子覺得發苦了。
And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
天使〔原文作「他們」〕對我說：「你必指著多民、多國、多方、多王再說預言。」
And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
