1 И видях, че от небето слизаше един ангел, който държеше в ръката си ключа на бездната и една голяма верига.

Then I saw an angel descending from heaven; he was holding the key of the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and a great chain was in his hand.

2 Т ой улови змея, древната змия, която е дявол и Сатана, и го върза за хиляда години;

And he gripped and overpowered the dragon, that old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.

3 и като го хвърли в бездната, заключи и я запечата над него, за да не мами вече народите, преди да се свършат хилядата години, след което той трябва да бъде пуснат за малко време.

Then he hurled him into the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and closed it and sealed it above him, so that he should no longer lead astray and deceive and seduce the nations until the thousand years were at an end. After that he must be liberated for a short time.

4 И видях престоли; и на тези, които бяха насядали на тях, беше дадено да съдят; видях и душите на онези, които бяха обезглавени поради свидетелството си за Исус и поради Божието слово, и на онези, които не се поклониха на звяра, нито на образа му и не приеха белега на челото си и на ръката си; и те оживяха и царуваха с Христос хиляда години.

Then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom authority to act as judges and to pass sentence was entrusted. Also I saw the souls of those who had been slain with axes for their witnessing to Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had refused to pay homage to the beast or his statue and had not accepted his mark or permitted it to be stamped on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived again and ruled with Christ (the Messiah) a thousand years.

5 Д ругите мъртви не оживяха, докато не се свършиха хилядата години. Това е първото възкресение.

The remainder of the dead were not restored to life again until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

6 Б лажен и свят онзи, който участва в първото възкресение; над такива втората смърт няма да има сила; а те ще бъдат свещеници на Бога и на Христос и ще царуват с Него хиляда години. Последният страшен съд Господен

Blessed (happy, to be envied) and holy (spiritually whole, of unimpaired innocence and proved virtue) is the person who takes part (shares) in the first resurrection! Over them the second death exerts no power or authority, but they shall be ministers of God and of Christ (the Messiah), and they shall rule along with Him a thousand years.

7 И когато се свършат хилядата години, Сатана ще бъде пуснат от тъмницата си

And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his place of confinement,

8 и ще излезе да мами народите по четирите краища на земята, Гог и Магог, да ги събере за войната, чийто брой е като морския пясък.

And he will go forth to deceive and seduce and lead astray the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth—Gog and Magog—to muster them for war; their number is like the sand of the sea.

9 И те се разпростряха по цялата широчина на земята и обиколиха стана на светиите и възлюбения град; но огън падна от Бога от небето и ги погълна.

And they swarmed up over the broad plain of the earth and encircled the fortress (camp) of God’s people (the saints) and the beloved city; but fire descended from heaven and consumed them.

10 И дяволът, който ги мамеше, бе хвърлен в езерото от огън и сяра, където са и звярът, и лъжепророкът; и ще бъдат мъчени денем и нощем до вечни векове.

Then the devil who had led them astray was hurled into the fiery lake of burning brimstone, where the beast and false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever (through the ages of the ages).

11 С лед това видях един голям бял престол и Онзи, Който седеше на него, от Чието лице побегнаха земята и небето и не се намери място за тях.

Then I saw a great white throne and the One Who was seated upon it, from Whose presence and from the sight of Whose face earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

12 В идях и мъртвите, големи и малки, да стоят пред престола; и едни книги се разгънаха; разгъна се и друга книга, която е книгата на живота; и мъртвите бяха съдени според делата си по записаното в книгата.

I saw the dead, great and small; they stood before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is of Life. And the dead were judged (sentenced) by what they had done '> their whole way of feeling and acting, their aims and endeavors] in accordance with what was recorded in the books.

13 И морето предаде мъртвите, които бяха в него; и смъртта, и адът предадоха мъртвите, които бяха в тях; и те бяха съдени - всеки според делата си.

And the sea delivered up the dead who were in it, death and Hades ( the state of death or disembodied existence) surrendered the dead in them, and all were tried and their cases determined by what they had done.

14 И смъртта, и адът бяха хвърлени в огненото езеро. Това е втората смърт.

Then death and Hades ( the state of death or disembodied existence) were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

15 И ако някой не се оказа записан в книгата на живота, той бе хвърлен в огненото езеро.

And if anyone’s was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.
