1 I was given a stick that is used to see how big things are. Someone said, “Go up to the house of God and find out how big it is. Find out about the altar also. See how many people are worshiping.

Foi-me dada uma cana semelhante a uma vara; e foi-me dito: Levanta-te, mede o santuário de Deus, e o altar, e os que nele adoram.

2 D o not find out about the porch of the house of God. It has been given over to the nations who do not know God. They will walk over all the Holy City to wreck it for forty-two months.

Mas deixa o átrio que está fora do santuário, e não o meças; porque foi dado aos gentios; e eles pisarão a cidade santa por quarenta e dois meses.

3 I will give power to my two men who tell what they know. They will speak for God for 1, 260 days (forty-two months). They will be dressed in clothes made from the hair of animals.” The Two Men Who Tell What They Know

E concederei

4 T hese two men who tell what they know are the two olive trees and the two lights that stand before the Lord of the earth.

Estas são as duas oliveiras e os dois candeeiros que estão diante do Senhor da terra.

5 I f anyone hates them and tries to hurt them, fire comes out of the mouths of these two men. The fire kills those who try to hurt them.

E, se alguém lhes quiser fazer mal, das suas bocas sairá fogo e devorará os seus inimigos; pois se alguém lhes quiser fazer mal, importa que assim seja morto.

6 T hey have power to shut up the sky. During the time they speak for God, there will be no rain. They have power to change all waters into blood. They can send every kind of trouble to the earth whenever they want to. The Death of the Two Men Who Speak for God

Elas têm poder para fechar o céu, para que não chova durante os dias da sua profecia; e têm poder sobre as águas para convertê-las em sangue, e para ferir a terra com toda sorte de pragas, quantas vezes quiserem.

7 W hen they have finished speaking for God, the wild animal will make war with them. It will come up out of the hole without a bottom. This wild animal will have power over them and kill them.

E, quando acabarem o seu testemunho, a besta que sobe do abismo lhes fará guerra e as vencerá e matará.

8 T heir dead bodies will lie in the street of Jerusalem. It is where their Lord was nailed to a cross. The city is sometimes called Sodom and Egypt.

E jazerão os seus corpos na praça da grande cidade, que espiritualmente se chama Sodoma e Egito, onde também o seu Senhor foi crucificado.

9 F or three-and-one-half days those from every people and from every family and from every language and from every nation will look at their dead bodies. People will not allow the dead bodies of these two men to be put in a grave.

Homens de vários povos, e tribos e línguas, e nações verão os seus corpos por três dias e meio, e não permitirão que sejam sepultados.

10 T hose who are living on the earth will be happy because of the death of these two men. They will do things to show they are happy. They will send gifts to each other. They will do this because these two men brought much trouble and suffering to the people of the earth. The Two Men Come to Life Again

E os que habitam sobre a terra se regozijarão sobre eles, e se alegrarão; e mandarão presentes uns aos outros, porquanto estes dois profetas atormentaram os que habitam sobre a terra.

11 A fter three-and-one-half days, life from God came into them again. They stood on their feet. Those who saw them were very much afraid.

E depois daqueles três dias e meio o espírito de vida, vindo de Deus, entrou neles, e puseram-se sobre seus pés, e caiu grande temor sobre os que os viram.

12 T hen the two men who told what they knew heard a loud voice from heaven. It said, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud. All those who hated them watched them go.

E ouviram uma grande voz do céu, que lhes dizia: Subi para cá. E subiram ao céu em uma nuvem; e os seus inimigos os viram.

13 A t the same time the earth shook. One-tenth part of the buildings of the city fell down. Seven thousand people were killed. The rest of the people were afraid and gave honor to the God of heaven.

E naquela hora houve um grande terremoto, e caiu a décima parte da cidade, e no terremoto foram mortos sete mil homens; e os demais ficaram atemorizados, e deram glória ao Deus do céu.

14 T he second time of trouble is past. But look, the third time of trouble is coming soon. The Seventh Horn—Worship in Heaven

É passado o segundo ai; eis que cedo vem o terceiro.

15 T he seventh angel blew his horn. There were loud voices in heaven saying, “The nations of the world have become the holy nation of our Lord and of His Christ. He will be the Leader forever.”

E tocou o sétimo anjo a sua trombeta, e houve no céu grandes vozes, que diziam: O reino do mundo passou a ser de nosso Senhor e do seu Cristo, e ele reinará pelos séculos dos séculos.

16 T hen the twenty-four leaders who sat on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God.

E os vinte e quatro anciãos, que estão assentados em seus tronos diante de Deus, prostraram-se sobre seus rostos e adoraram a Deus,

17 T hey said, “All-powerful Lord God, the One Who is and Who was and Who is to come, we thank You because You are using Your great power and have become Leader.

dizendo: Graças te damos, Senhor Deus Todo-Poderoso, que és, e que eras, porque tens tomado o teu grande poder, e começaste a reinar.

18 T he people who do not know God have become angry with You. Now it is time for You to be angry with them. It is time for the dead to stand before You and to be judged. It is time for the servants You own who are the early preachers and those who belong to You to get the reward that is coming to them. It is time for the important people and those not important who honor Your name to get the pay that is coming to them. It is time to destroy those who have made every kind of trouble on the earth.”

Iraram-se, na verdade, as nações; então veio a tua ira, e o tempo de serem julgados os mortos, e o tempo de dares recompensa aos teus servos, os profetas, e aos santos, e aos que temem o teu nome, a pequenos e a grandes, e o tempo de destruíres os que destroem a terra.

19 G od’s house in heaven was opened. The special box which held the Old Way of Worship was seen in the house of God. There was lightning and thunder and noise. The earth shook and large hail stones fell.

Abriu-se o santuário de Deus que está no céu, e no seu santuário foi vista a arca do seu pacto; e houve relâmpagos, vozes e trovões, e terremoto e grande saraivada.
