1 И увидел я Ангела, сходящего с неба, который имел ключ от бездны и большую цепь в руке своей.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had in his hand a key to the hole without a bottom. He also had a strong chain.

2 О н взял дракона, змия древнего, который есть диавол и сатана, и сковал его на тысячу лет,

He took hold of the dragon, that old snake, who is the Devil, or Satan, and chained him for 1, 000 years.

3 и низверг его в бездну, и заключил его, и положил над ним печать, дабы не прельщал уже народы, доколе не окончится тысяча лет; после же сего ему должно быть освобожденным на малое время.

The angel threw the devil into the hole without a bottom. He shut it and locked him in it. He could not fool the nations anymore until the 1, 000 years were completed. After this he must be free for awhile.

4 И увидел я престолы и сидящих на них, которым дано было судить, и души обезглавленных за свидетельство Иисуса и за слово Божие, которые не поклонились зверю, ни образу его, и не приняли начертания на чело свое и на руку свою. Они ожили и царствовали со Христом тысячу лет.

Then I saw thrones. Those who were sitting there were given the power to judge. I saw the souls of those who had been killed because they told about Jesus and preached the Word of God. They had not worshiped the wild animal or his false god. They had not received his mark on their foreheads or hands. They lived again and were leaders along with Christ for 1, 000 years.

5 П рочие же из умерших не ожили, доколе не окончится тысяча лет. Это--первое воскресение.

The rest of the dead did not come to life again until the 1, 000 years were finished. This is the first time many people are raised from the dead at the same time.

6 Б лажен и свят имеющий участие в воскресении первом: над ними смерть вторая не имеет власти, но они будут священниками Бога и Христа и будут царствовать с Ним тысячу лет.

Those who are raised from the dead during this first time are happy and holy. The second death has no power over them. They will be religious leaders of God and of Christ. They will be leaders with Him for 1, 000 years. Satan Is Destroyed Forever

7 К огда же окончится тысяча лет, сатана будет освобожден из темницы своей и выйдет обольщать народы, находящиеся на четырех углах земли, Гога и Магога, и собирать их на брань; число их как песок морской.

When the 1, 000 years are finished, Satan will be free to leave his prison.

8 И вышли на широту земли, и окружили стан святых и город возлюбленный.

He will go out and fool the nations who are over all the world. They are Gog and Magog. He will gather them all together for war. There will be as many as the sand along the sea-shore.

9 И ниспал огонь с неба от Бога и пожрал их;

They will spread out over the earth and all around the place where God’s people are and around the city that is loved. Fire will come down from God out of heaven and destroy them.

10 а диавол, прельщавший их, ввержен в озеро огненное и серное, где зверь и лжепророк, и будут мучиться день и ночь во веки веков.

Then the devil who fooled them will be thrown into the lake of fire burning with sulphur. The wild animal and the false preacher are already there. They will all be punished day and night forever. The Guilty Will Be Punished

11 И увидел я великий белый престол и Сидящего на нем, от лица Которого бежало небо и земля, и не нашлось им места.

Then I saw a great white throne. I saw the One Who sat on it. The earth and the heaven left Him in a hurry and they could be found no more.

12 И увидел я мертвых, малых и великих, стоящих пред Богом, и книги раскрыты были, и иная книга раскрыта, которая есть книга жизни; и судимы были мертвые по написанному в книгах, сообразно с делами своими.

I saw all the dead people standing before God. There were great people and small people. The books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead people were judged by what they had done as it was written in the books.

13 Т огда отдало море мертвых, бывших в нем, и смерть и ад отдали мертвых, которые были в них; и судим был каждый по делам своим.

The sea gave up the dead people who were in it. Death and hell gave up the dead people who were in them. Each one was judged by what he had done.

14 И смерть и ад повержены в озеро огненное. Это смерть вторая.

Then death and hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.

15 И кто не был записан в книге жизни, тот был брошен в озеро огненное.

If anyone’s name was not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
