Revised Literal Translation
1AndG2532 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 out ofG1537 the templeG3588G3485 sayingG3004 to the sevenG2033 angelsG32, Go your waysG5217, andG2532 pour outG1632 the vialsG3588G5357 of the wrathG3588G2372 of GodG3588G2316 uponG1519 the earthG3588G1093. 2
AndG2532 the firstG4413 wentG565, andG2532 poured outG1632 hisG846 vialG3588G5357 uponG1909 the earthG3588G1093; andG2532 there fellG1096 a noisomeG2556 andG2532 grievousG4190 soreG1668 uponG1519 the menG3588G444 whichG3588 hadG2192 the markG3588G5480 of the beastG3588G2342, andG2532 upon themG3588 which worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG3588G1504. 3AndG2532 the secondG1208 angelG32 poured outG1632 hisG846 vialG3588G5357 uponG1519 the seaG3588G2281; andG2532 it becameG1096 asG5613 the bloodG129 of a deadG3498 man: andG2532 everyG3956 livingG2198 soulG5590 diedG599 inG1722 the seaG3588G2281. 4AndG2532 the thirdG5154 angelG32 poured outG1632 hisG846 vialG3588G5357 uponG1519 the riversG3588G4215 andG2532 fountainsG3588G4077 of watersG3588G5204; andG2532 they becameG1096 bloodG129. 5AndG2532 I heardG191 the angelG3588G32 of the watersG3588G5204 sayG3004, Thou artG1510 righteousG1342, O LordG2962, which artG3588G1510, andG2532 wastG1510, andG2532 shalt beG3588G3741, becauseG3754 thou hast judgedG2919 thusG3778. 6ForG3754 they have shedG1632 the bloodG129 of saintsG40 andG2532 prophetsG4396, andG2532 thou hast givenG1325 themG846 bloodG129 to drinkG4095; forG1063 they areG1510 worthyG514. 7AndG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 out ofG1537 the altarG3588G2379 sayG3004, Even soG3483, LordG2962 GodG3588G2316 AlmightyG3588G3841, trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are thyG4771 judgmentsG3588G2920. 8AndG2532 the fourthG5067 angelG32 poured outG1632 hisG846 vialG3588G5357 uponG1909 the sunG3588G2246; andG2532 powerG2739 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to scorchG2739 menG3588G444 withG1722 fireG4442. 9AndG2532 menG3588G444 were scorchedG2739 with greatG3173 heatG2738, andG2532 blasphemedG987 the nameG3588G3686 of GodG3588G2316, whichG3588 hathG2192 powerG1849 overG1909 theseG3778 plaguesG3588G4127: andG2532 they repentedG3340 notG3756 to giveG1325 himG846 gloryG1391. 10AndG2532 the fifthG3991 angelG32 poured outG1632 hisG846 vialG3588G5357 uponG1909 the seatG3588G2362 of the beastG3588G2342; andG2532 hisG846 kingdomG3588G932 wasG1096 full of darknessG4656; andG2532 they gnawedG3145 theirG846 tonguesG3588G1100 forG1537 painG3588G4192, 11AndG2532 blasphemedG987 the GodG3588G2316 of heavenG3588G3772 becauseG1537 of theirG846 painsG3588G4192 andG2532 theirG846 soresG3588G1668, andG2532 repentedG3340 notG3756 ofG1537 theirG846 deedsG3588G2041. 12AndG2532 theG3588G32 sixthG1623 angelG3588G32 poured outG1632 hisG846 vialG3588G5357 uponG1909 theG3588G2166 greatG3588G3173 riverG3588G4215 EuphratesG3588G2166; andG2532 the waterG3588G5204 thereofG846 was dried upG3583, thatG2443 the wayG3588G3598 of the kingsG3588G935 ofG575 the eastG395 might be preparedG2090. 13AndG2532 I sawG3708 threeG5140 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 likeG3664 frogsG944 come out ofG1537 the mouthG3588G4750 of the dragonG3588G1404, andG2532 out ofG1537 the mouthG3588G4750 of the beastG3588G2342, andG2532 out ofG1537 the mouthG3588G4750 of the false prophetG3588G5578. 14ForG1063 they areG1510 the spiritsG4151 of devilsG1142, workingG4160 miraclesG4592, which go forthG1607 untoG1909 the kingsG3588G935 of the earthG3588G1093 andG2532 of theG3588G3625 wholeG3650 worldG3588G3625, to gatherG4863 themG846 toG1519 the battleG3588G4171 of thatG1565 greatG3588G3173 dayG3588G2250 of GodG3588G2316 AlmightyG3588G3841.
15BeholdG3708, I comeG2064 asG5613 a thiefG2812. BlessedG3107 is heG3588 that watchethG1127, andG2532 keepethG5083 hisG846 garmentsG3588G2440, lestG2443 he walkG4043 nakedG1131, andG2532 they seeG991 hisG846 shameG3588G808. 16AndG2532 he gatheredG4863 themG846 togetherG4863 intoG1519 a placeG3588G5117 calledG2564 in the Hebrew tongueG1447 ArmageddonG717. 17AndG2532 the seventhG1442 angelG32 poured outG1632 hisG846 vialG3588G5357 intoG1519 the airG3588G109; andG2532 there cameG1831 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 outG575 of the templeG3588G3485 of heavenG3588G3772, fromG575 the throneG3588G2362, sayingG3004, It is doneG1096. 18AndG2532 there wereG1096 voicesG5456, andG2532 thundersG1027, andG2532 lightningsG796; andG2532 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, such asG3634 wasG1096 notG3756 sinceG575 menG3588G444 wereG1096 uponG1909 the earthG3588G1093, so mightyG5082 an earthquakeG4578, and soG3779 greatG3173. 19AndG2532 the greatG3173 cityG3588G4172 was dividedG1096 intoG1519 threeG5140 partsG3313, andG2532 the citiesG3588G4172 of the nationsG3588G1484 fellG4098: andG2532 greatG3173 BabylonG897 came in remembranceG3403 beforeG1799 GodG3588G2316, to giveG1325 unto herG846 the cupG3588G4221 of the wineG3588G3631 of the fiercenessG3588G2372 of hisG846 wrathG3588G3709. 20AndG2532 everyG3956 islandG3520 fled awayG5343, andG2532 the mountainsG3735 wereG2147 notG3756 foundG2147. 21AndG2532 there fellG2597 uponG1909 menG3588G444 a greatG3173 hailG5464 out ofG1537 heavenG3588G3772, every stone aboutG5613 the weight of a talentG5006: andG2532 menG3588G444 blasphemedG987 GodG3588G2316 because ofG1537 the plagueG3588G4127 of the hailG3588G5464; forG3754 the plagueG3588G4127 thereofG846 wasG1510 exceedingG4970 greatG3173.
