The Bowls of God's Anger
1 From the temple I heard a voice shout to the seven angels, “Go and empty the seven bowls of God's anger on the earth.”
2 The first angel emptied his bowl on the earth. At once ugly and painful sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and worshiped the idol.
3 The second angel emptied his bowl on the sea. At once the sea turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
4 The third angel emptied his bowl into the rivers and streams. At once they turned to blood. 5 Then I heard the angel, who has power over water, say,
“You have always been,
and you always will be
the holy God.
You had the right
to judge in this way.
6 They poured out the blood
of your people
and your prophets.
So you gave them blood
to drink as they deserve!”
7 After this, I heard
the altar shout,
“Yes, Lord God All-Powerful,
your judgments are honest
and fair.”
8 The fourth angel emptied his bowl on the sun, and it began to scorch people like fire. 9 Everyone was scorched by its great heat, and all of them cursed the name of God who had power over these terrible troubles. But no one turned to God and praised him.
10 The fifth angel emptied his bowl on the throne of the beast. At once darkness covered its kingdom, and its people began biting their tongues in pain. 11 And because of their painful sores, they cursed the God who rules in heaven. But still they did not stop doing evil things.
12 The sixth angel emptied his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it completely dried up to make a road for the kings from the east. 13 An evil spirit that looked like a frog came out of the mouth of the dragon. One also came out of the mouth of the beast, and another out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 These evil spirits had the power to work miracles. They went to every king on earth, to bring them together for a war against God All-Powerful. But that will be the day of God's great victory.
15 Remember Christ says, “When I come, it will surprise you like a thief! But God will bless you, if you are awake and ready. Then you won't have to walk around naked and be ashamed.”
16 Those armies came together in a place that in Hebrew is called Armagedon.
17 As soon as the seventh angel emptied his bowl in the air, a loud voice from the throne in the temple shouted, “It's done!” 18 There were flashes of lightning, roars of thunder, and the worst earthquake in all history. 19 The great city of Babylon split into three parts, and the cities of other nations fell. So God made Babylon drink from the wine cup filled with his anger. 20 Every island ran away, and the mountains disappeared. 21 Hailstones, weighing about 50 kilograms each, fell from the sky on people. Finally, the people cursed God, because the hail was so terrible.
Dieva dusmu kausi
1 Tad es dzirdēju varenu balsi no tempļa sakām septiņiem eņģeļiem: “Ejiet un izlejiet septiņus Dieva dusmu traukus uz zemes!” 2 Pirmais eņģelis aizgāja un izlēja savu trauku uz zemes, un briesmīga un ļaundabīga čūla piemetās cilvēkiem, kam bija zvēra zīme un kas pielūdza viņa tēlu. 3 Otrais eņģelis izlēja savu trauku jūrā, un tā tapa kā miroņa asinis, un ikviena dzīva radība jūrā nobeidzās. 4 Trešais eņģelis izlēja savu trauku pār upēm un uz ūdens avotiem, un tie pārvērtās par asinīm. 5 Un es dzirdēju ūdeņu eņģeli sakām:
“Tu esi taisns, kas esi un kas biji, Svētais,
ka tādu esi spriedis tiesu,
6 jo viņi izlēja svēto un praviešu asinis,
un tu viņiem esi devis dzert asinis;
viņi to ir pelnījuši.”
7 Un es dzirdēju no altāra sakām:
“Jā, Kungs Dievs, Visuvaldītāj,
patiesi un taisni ir tavi spriedumi.”
8 Un ceturtais eņģelis izlēja savu trauku uz sauli, un tai tika dota vara dedzināt cilvēkus ar uguni. 9 Cilvēki tika dedzināti lielā karstumā; viņi zaimoja Dieva vārdu, kuram bija vara pār visām šīm sērgām, un viņi neatgriezās no grēkiem un nedeva Dievam godu.
10 Un piektais eņģelis izlēja savu trauku pār zvēra troni, viņa valstība tapa aptumšota, un no sāpēm tie koda savas mēles. 11 Sāpju un čūlu dēļ viņi zaimoja debesu Dievu, bet neatgriezās no grēkiem un neatstājās no saviem darbiem. 12 Un sestais eņģelis izlēja savu trauku pār lielo upi Eifrātu, un tās ūdeņi izžuva, lai sagatavotu ceļu austrumu ķēniņiem. 13 Es ieraudzīju trīs nešķīstus garus, vardēm līdzīgus, kas iznāca no pūķa, no zvēra un no viltus pravieša mutes. 14 Tie ir dēmonu gari, kas dara brīnumus. Tie dodas pie visas pasaules ķēniņiem, lai tos sapulcētu karam Dieva, Visuvaldītāja, lielajā dienā. 15 “Redzi, es nāku kā zaglis. Laimīgs, kas ir nomodā un sargā savas drēbes, lai nebūtu jāstaigā kailam un nebūtu redzams viņa kauns.” 16 Un ķēniņi tika sapulcināti vietā, ko ebrejiski sauc – Armagedona . 17 Un septītais eņģelis izlēja savu trauku gaisā, un varena balss atskanēja no tempļa, no troņa: “Ir noticis!” 18 Tad nāca zibeņi, balsis un pērkons, un tik liela bija zemestrīce, kāda nav bijusi, kopš cilvēks ir uz zemes, – tik liela bija zemestrīce. 19 Lielā pilsēta sadalījās trīs daļās, pagānu tautu pilsētas krita, un lielā Bābele tika pieminēta Dieva priekšā, lai tā dzertu viņa dusmu vīna kausu. 20 Un visas salas pazuda, un arī kalnu vairs nebija. 21 Un lieli, talantu smagi krusas graudi bira no debesīm uz cilvēkiem, un krusas sodības dēļ cilvēki zaimoja Dievu, jo tās sodība bija ļoti liela.
