Chapter 16
The First Six Bowls of Wrath
1
Then I heard [a] loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God’s wrath.
Καὶ ἤκουσα μεγάλης φωνῆς ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ λεγούσης τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλοις Ὑπάγετε καὶ ἐκχέετε εἰς τὴν γῆν τὰς ἑπτὰ φιάλας τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ θυμοῦ Kai ēkousa megalēs phōnēs ek tou naou legousēs tois hepta angelois Hypagete kai ekcheete eis tēn gēn tas hepta phialas tou Theou tou thymou — NA/TR · 1
2
[So] the first [angel] went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and loathsome, malignant sores broke out on those… who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
Καὶ ὁ πρῶτος ἀπῆλθεν καὶ ἐξέχεεν αὐτοῦ τὴν φιάλην εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ κακὸν καὶ πονηρὸν ἕλκος ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς ἔχοντας τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ θηρίου καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτοῦ τῇ εἰκόνι Kai ho prōtos apēlthen kai execheen autou tēn phialēn eis tēn gēn kai kakon kai ponēron helkos egeneto epi tous anthrōpous tous echontas to charagma tou thēriou kai tous proskynountas autou tē eikoni — NA/TR · 2
3
And the second [angel] poured out his bowl into the sea, and it turned to blood like that of [the] dead, and every living thing in the sea died.
Καὶ ὁ δεύτερος ἐξέχεεν αὐτοῦ τὴν φιάλην εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἐγένετο αἷμα ὡς νεκροῦ καὶ πᾶσα ζωῆς ψυχὴ τὰ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἀπέθανεν Kai ho deuteros execheen autou tēn phialēn eis tēn thalassan kai egeneto haima hōs nekrou kai pasa zōēs psychē ta en tē thalassē apethanen — NA/TR · 3
4
And the third [angel] poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they turned to blood.
Καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἐξέχεεν αὐτοῦ τὴν φιάλην εἰς τοὺς ποταμοὺς καὶ τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων καὶ ἐγένετο αἷμα Kai ho tritos execheen autou tēn phialēn eis tous potamous kai tas pēgas tōn hydatōn kai egeneto haima — NA/TR · 4
5
And I heard the angel of the waters say: “Righteous are You, O Holy One, who is and was, because You have brought these judgments…
Καὶ ἤκουσα τοῦ ἀγγέλου τῶν ὑδάτων λέγοντος Δίκαιος εἶ ὁ Ὅσιος ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν ὅτι ἔκρινας ταῦτα Kai ēkousa tou angelou tōn hydatōn legontos Dikaios ei ho Hosios ho ōn kai ho ēn hoti ekrinas tauta — NA/TR · 5
6
For they have spilled [the] blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.
ὅτι ἐξέχεαν αἷμα ἁγίων καὶ προφητῶν καὶ δέδωκας αὐτοῖς αἷμα πιεῖν εἰσιν ἄξιοί hoti exechean haima hagiōn kai prophētōn kai dedōkas autois haima piein eisin axioi — NA/TR · 6
7
And I heard the altar reply: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just [are] Your judgments.
Καὶ ἤκουσα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγοντος Ναί Κύριε ὁ Θεός ὁ Παντοκράτωρ ἀληθιναὶ καὶ δίκαιαι σου αἱ κρίσεις Kai ēkousa tou thysiastēriou legontos Nai Kyrie ho Theos ho Pantokratōr alēthinai kai dikaiai sou hai kriseis — NA/TR · 7
8
Then the fourth [angel] poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given power… to scorch the people with fire.
Καὶ ὁ τέταρτος ἐξέχεεν αὐτοῦ τὴν φιάλην ἐπὶ τὸν ἥλιον καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ καυματίσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐν πυρί Kai ho tetartos execheen autou tēn phialēn epi ton hēlion kai edothē autō kaumatisai tous anthrōpous en pyri — NA/TR · 8
9
And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues. Yet vvv they did not repent [and] give Him glory.
καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἐκαυματίσθησαν μέγα καῦμα καὶ ἐβλασφήμησαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἔχοντος τὴν ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ ταύτας τὰς πληγὰς καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν δοῦναι αὐτῷ δόξαν kai hoi anthrōpoi ekaumatisthēsan mega kauma kai eblasphēmēsan to onoma tou Theou tou echontos tēn exousian epi tautas tas plēgas kai ou metenoēsan dounai autō doxan — NA/TR · 9
10
And the fifth [angel] poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness, and [men] began to gnaw their tongues in anguish
Καὶ ὁ πέμπτος ἐξέχεεν αὐτοῦ τὴν φιάλην ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον τοῦ θηρίου καὶ αὐτοῦ ἡ βασιλεία ἐγένετο ἐσκοτωμένη καὶ ἐμασῶντο αὐτῶν τὰς γλώσσας ἐκ τοῦ πόνου Kai ho pemptos execheen autou tēn phialēn epi ton thronon tou thēriou kai autou hē basileia egeneto eskotōmenē kai emasōnto autōn tas glōssas ek tou ponou — NA/TR · 10
11
and curse the God of heaven for their pains and - sores. Yet vvv they did not repent of their deeds.
καὶ ἐβλασφήμησαν τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκ αὐτῶν τῶν πόνων καὶ ἐκ αὐτῶν τῶν ἑλκῶν καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν ἐκ αὐτῶν τῶν ἔργων kai eblasphēmēsan ton Theon tou ouranou ek autōn tōn ponōn kai ek autōn tōn helkōn kai ou metenoēsan ek autōn tōn ergōn — NA/TR · 11
12
And the sixth [angel] poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East…
Καὶ ὁ ἕκτος ἐξέχεεν αὐτοῦ τὴν φιάλην ἐπὶ τὸν τὸν μέγαν ποταμὸν τὸν Εὐφράτην καὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ ὕδωρ ἐξηράνθη ἵνα ἑτοιμασθῇ ἡ ὁδὸς τῶν βασιλέων τῶν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῆς ἡλίου Kai ho hektos execheen autou tēn phialēn epi ton ton megan potamon ton Euphratēn kai autou to hydōr exēranthē hina hetoimasthē hē hodos tōn basileōn tōn apo anatolēs hēliou — NA/TR · 12
13
And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs [coming] out of the mouths of the dragon, - - the beast, and - the false prophet.
Καὶ εἶδον τρία ἀκάθαρτα πνεύματα ὡς βάτραχοι ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ δράκοντος καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ θηρίου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ ψευδοπροφήτου Kai eidon tria akatharta pneumata hōs batrachoi ek tou stomatos tou drakontos kai ek tou stomatos tou thēriou kai ek tou stomatos tou pseudoprophētou — NA/TR · 13
14
- [These] are demonic spirits that perform signs [and] go out to all the kings of the [earth], to assemble them… for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.
γὰρ εἰσὶν δαιμονίων πνεύματα ποιοῦντα σημεῖα ἃ ἐκπορεύεται ἐπὶ ὅλης τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῆς οἰκουμένης συναγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν πόλεμον τῆς τῆς μεγάλης ἡμέρας τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ Παντοκράτορος gar eisin daimoniōn pneumata poiounta sēmeia ha ekporeuetai epi holēs tous basileis tēs oikoumenēs synagagein autous eis ton polemon tēs tēs megalēs hēmeras tou Theou tou Pantokratoros — NA/TR · 14
15
“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed [is] the [one who] remains awake and - clothed, so that vvv he will not go naked and {let} his shame be exposed.
Ἰδοὺ ἔρχομαι ὡς κλέπτης μακάριος ὁ γρηγορῶν καὶ τηρῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἱμάτια ἵνα μὴ περιπατῇ γυμνὸς καὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην βλέπωσιν Idou erchomai hōs kleptēs makarios ho grēgorōn kai tērōn autou ta himatia hina mē peripatē gymnos kai autou tēn aschēmosynēn blepōsin — NA/TR · 15
16
And they assembled [the kings]… in the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
Καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν Ἑβραϊστὶ καλούμενον Ἁρ¦μαγεδών Kai synēgagen autous eis ton topon ton Hebraisti kaloumenon Har¦magedōn — NA/TR · 16
The Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17
Then the seventh [angel] poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came from the throne [in] the temple, saying, “It is done!
Καὶ ὁ ἕβδομος ἐξέχεεν αὐτοῦ τὴν φιάλην ἐπὶ τὸν ἀέρα καὶ μεγάλη φωνὴ ἐξῆλθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ λέγουσα Γέγονεν Kai ho hebdomos execheen autou tēn phialēn epi ton aera kai megalē phōnē exēlthen apo tou thronou ek tou naou legousa Gegonen — NA/TR · 17
18
And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake the likes of which vvv had not occurred since men were upon the earth— so mighty [was the] great quake.
Καὶ ἐγένοντο ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί καὶ ἐγένετο μέγας σεισμὸς οἷος οὐκ ἐγένετο ἀφ’ οὗ ἄνθρωπος ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὕτω τηλικοῦτος μέγας σεισμὸς Kai egenonto astrapai kai phōnai kai brontai kai egeneto megas seismos hoios ouk egeneto aph’ hou anthrōpos egeneto epi tēs gēs houtō tēlikoutos megas seismos — NA/TR · 18
19
- The great city was [split] into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. And - God remembered Babylon the great [and] gave her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath.
καὶ ἡ ἡ μεγάλη πόλις ἐγένετο εἰς τρία μέρη καὶ αἱ πόλεις τῶν ἐθνῶν ἔπεσαν καὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐμνήσθη Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη δοῦναι αὐτῇ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς αὐτοῦ ὀργῆς kai hē hē megalē polis egeneto eis tria merē kai hai poleis tōn ethnōn epesan kai enōpion tou Theou emnēsthē Babylōn hē megalē dounai autē to potērion tou oinou tou thymou tēs autou orgēs — NA/TR · 19
20
Then every island fled, and no mountain could be found.
Καὶ πᾶσα νῆσος ἔφυγεν καὶ οὐχ ὄρη εὑρέθησαν Kai pasa nēsos ephygen kai ouch orē heurethēsan — NA/TR · 20
21
And great hailstones {weighing} almost a hundred pounds [each] rained down on [them] from above. And men cursed God for the plague of hail, because [it] was vvv so horrendous.
καὶ μεγάλη χάλαζα ὡς ταλαντιαία καταβαίνει ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἐβλασφήμησαν τὸν Θεὸν ἐκ τῆς πληγῆς τῆς χαλάζης ὅτι ἡ πληγὴ αὐτῆς ἐστὶν σφόδρα μεγάλη kai megalē chalaza hōs talantiaia katabainei epi tous anthrōpous ek tou ouranou kai hoi anthrōpoi eblasphēmēsan ton Theon ek tēs plēgēs tēs chalazēs hoti hē plēgē autēs estin sphodra megalē — NA/TR · 21
