1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it , and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Eņģelis ar mazo grāmatiņu
1 Un es ieraudzīju citu varenu eņģeli nokāpjam no debesīm, tērptu mākonī kā apmetnī, un virs viņa galvas bija varavīksne, un viņa vaigs mirdzēja kā saule, un viņa kājas bija kā uguns stabi. 2 Viņa rokā bija atritināts rakstu rulli, un savu labo kāju viņš lika uz jūru, bet kreiso kāju – uz zemi. 3 Un viņš iesaucās varenā balsī, kā lauva rēc, un, kad viņš bija iesaucies, septiņi pērkoni sāka runāt savās balsīs. 4 Kad ierunājās septiņi pērkoni, es gribēju rakstīt, bet dzirdēju balsi no debesīm sakām: aizzīmogo, ko runāja septiņi pērkoni, un nepieraksti to. 5 Un eņģelis, ko es ieraudzīju stāvam uz jūras un uz zemes, pacēla savu labo roku uz debesīm 6 un zvērēja tam, kas ir dzīvs mūžu mūžos, kas radījis debesis un visu, kas tajā, zemi un visu, kas uz tās, un jūru un visu, kas tajā: laika vairs nebūs! 7 Bet tajās dienās, kad skanēs septītā eņģeļa balss, kad atskanēs viņa taure, tad Dieva noslēpums būs piepildīts, kā viņš šo prieka vēsti bija pasludinājis saviem kalpiem, praviešiem. 8 Un balss, ko dzirdēju no debesīm, runāja atkal ar mani un sacīja: ej un paņem atritināto rakstu rulli no tā eņģeļa rokas, kas stāv uz jūras un zemes. 9 Aizgājis pie eņģeļa, es teicu, lai viņš man atdod rakstu rulli. Un viņš man saka: “Ņem un to apēd, un tas radīs rūgtumu tavās iekšās, bet tavā mutē tas būs salds kā medus.” 10 Es paņēmu rakstu rulli no eņģeļa rokas, ēdu to, un manā mutē tas tapa salds kā medus; kad es to apēdu, manās iekšās tapa rūgts. 11 Un tad man sacīja: “Tev vēlreiz vajag pravietot par ļaudīm un tautām, un valodām, un daudziem ķēniņiem.”
