1Und ich hörte eine laute Stimme aus dem Tempel, die sprach zu den sieben Engeln: Geht hin und gießt die Schalen des Zornes Gottes aus auf die Erde! (Offb 15,1; Offb 15,7)2Und der erste ging hin und goss seine Schale aus auf die Erde; da entstand ein böses und schmerzhaftes Geschwür an den Menschen, die das Malzeichen des Tieres hatten und die sein Bild anbeteten. (2Mo 9,8; Offb 6,4; Offb 8,7; Offb 13,16)3Und der zweite Engel goss seine Schale aus in das Meer, und es wurde zu Blut wie von einem Toten, und alle lebendigen Wesen starben im Meer. (Offb 8,8)4Und der dritte Engel goss seine Schale aus in die Flüsse und in die Wasserquellen, und sie wurden zu Blut. (Offb 8,10)5Und ich hörte den Engel der Gewässer sagen: Gerecht bist du, o Herr, der du bist und warst und der Heilige bist, dass du so gerichtet hast! (2Tim 4,1; 1Petr 4,5; Offb 1,4; Offb 19,2; Offb 20,13)6Denn das Blut der Heiligen und Propheten haben sie vergossen, und Blut hast du ihnen zu trinken gegeben; denn sie verdienen es! (5Mo 32,43; Jes 49,26; Mt 23,34; Offb 17,6)7Und ich hörte einen anderen vom Altar her sagen: Ja, o Herr, Gott, du Allmächtiger, wahrhaftig und gerecht sind deine Gerichte! (Jes 6,6; Offb 6,9; Offb 8,3; Offb 11,1; Offb 14,18)8Und der vierte Engel goss seine Schale aus auf die Sonne; und ihr wurde gegeben, die Menschen mit Feuer zu versengen. (Mal 3,19; Offb 8,12)9Und die Menschen wurden versengt von großer Hitze, und sie lästerten den Namen Gottes, der Macht hat über diese Plagen, und sie taten nicht Buße, um ihm die Ehre zu geben. (Jer 5,3; Am 4,11; Offb 9,20; Offb 16,21)10Und der fünfte Engel goss seine Schale aus auf den Thron des Tieres, und dessen Reich wurde verfinstert, und sie zerbissen ihre Zungen vor Schmerz, (2Mo 10,21; Mt 6,23; Lk 22,53; Offb 9,5; Offb 13,1)11und sie lästerten den Gott des Himmels wegen ihrer Schmerzen und wegen ihrer Geschwüre, und sie taten nicht Buße von ihren Werken. (Offb 16,9)12Und der sechste Engel goss seine Schale aus auf den großen Strom Euphrat; und sein Wasser vertrocknete, damit den Königen vom Aufgang der Sonne der Weg bereitet würde. (Jes 41,2; Jer 42,10; Jer 50,38; Jer 51,63; Offb 9,14)13Und ich sah aus dem Maul des Drachen und aus dem Maul des Tieres und aus dem Maul des falschen Propheten drei unreine Geister herauskommen, gleich Fröschen. (3Mo 11,27; Offb 12,3; Offb 12,9; Offb 13,1; Offb 13,11)14Es sind nämlich dämonische Geister, die Zeichen tun und ausgehen zu den Königen der Erde und des ganzen Erdkreises[1], um sie zum Kampf zu versammeln an jenem großen Tag Gottes, des Allmächtigen. (2Thess 2,9; 1Tim 4,1; Offb 13,13; Offb 16,16; Offb 17,14; Offb 18,2; Offb 19,11)15— Siehe, ich komme wie ein Dieb! Glückselig ist, wer wacht und seine Kleider bewahrt, damit er nicht entblößt einhergeht und man seine Schande sieht! — (Mt 24,43; Lk 11,28; Lk 21,36; 1Thess 5,3; 1Thess 5,23; Offb 3,3; Offb 3,18)16Und er versammelte sie an den Ort, der auf Hebräisch Harmageddon[2] heißt. (Ri 5,19; 2Kön 23,29; 2Chr 35,22; Joe 4,2; Joe 4,9; Sach 12,3; Sach 12,11)17Und der siebte Engel goss seine Schale aus in die Luft; und es ging eine laute Stimme aus vom Tempel des Himmels, vom Thron her, die sprach: Es ist geschehen! (Jes 66,6; Eph 2,2; Offb 9,2; Offb 15,1; Offb 21,6)18Und es geschahen Stimmen und Donner und Blitze, und ein großes Erdbeben geschah, wie es dergleichen noch nie gegeben hat, seit es Menschen gab auf Erden, ein solch gewaltiges und großes Erdbeben. (Mt 27,51; Mt 27,54; Mt 28,2; Offb 6,12; Offb 8,5; Offb 11,13; Offb 11,19)19Und die große Stadt wurde in drei Teile [zerrissen], und die Städte der Heidenvölker fielen, und Babylon, der Großen, wurde vor Gott gedacht, damit er ihr den Becher des Glutweines seines Zornes gebe. (Jes 2,12; Offb 11,8; Offb 14,8; Offb 14,10; Offb 18,2; Offb 18,5; Offb 18,6)20Und jede Insel entfloh, und es waren keine Berge mehr zu finden. (Jes 64,1; Jer 4,23; Jer 51,25; Mi 1,4; Offb 6,14)21Und ein großer Hagel mit zentnerschweren Steinen kam aus dem Himmel auf die Menschen herab, und die Menschen lästerten Gott wegen der Plage des Hagels, weil seine Plage sehr groß war. (2Mo 9,18; 2Mo 9,23; Jos 10,11; Offb 8,7; Offb 11,19)
Offenbarung 16
King James Version
1And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.2And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.3And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.4And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.5And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.7And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.8And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.9And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.10And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,11And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.12And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.16And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.17And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.18And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.19And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.21And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.” (Ps 79,6; Jer 10,25; Zef 3,8; Offb 15,1; Offb 15,7)2So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. (2Mo 9,9; Offb 13,16; Offb 16,11)3The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea. (Offb 8,8; Offb 8,9)4The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. (2Mo 7,17; Offb 8,10)5And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[1] say, “Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. (Jer 12,1; Joh 17,25; Offb 1,4; Offb 1,8; Offb 4,8; Offb 11,17; Offb 15,4)6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” (Jes 49,26; Lk 11,49; Offb 11,18; Offb 13,15; Offb 18,24)7And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!” (Ps 119,137; Offb 6,9; Offb 15,3; Offb 19,2)8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. (Offb 9,17; Offb 14,18)9They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed[2] the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. (Dan 5,22; Dan 5,23; Offb 2,21; Offb 11,13; Offb 16,11; Offb 16,21)10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish (2Mo 10,21; Offb 9,2; Offb 13,2)11and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds. (Offb 2,21; Offb 11,13; Offb 16,2)12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. (Jes 11,15; Jes 41,2; Jes 41,25; Jes 44,27; Jes 46,11; Jer 50,38; Jer 51,32; Jer 51,36; Offb 7,2; Offb 9,14)13And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. (2Mo 8,6; Offb 12,3; Offb 12,9; Offb 13,1; Offb 13,11; Offb 13,14; Offb 18,2; Offb 19,20; Offb 20,10)14For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. (1Kön 22,20; 1Tim 4,1; Offb 6,17; Offb 13,13; Offb 17,14; Offb 19,19; Offb 20,8)15(“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) (Mt 24,42; Offb 3,2; Offb 3,3; Offb 3,18)16And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. (Ri 5,19; Sach 12,11; Offb 19,19)
The Seventh Bowl
17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” (Eph 2,2; Offb 10,6)18And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings,[3] peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. (Dan 12,1; Joe 2,2; Mt 24,21; Offb 4,5; Offb 6,12; Offb 8,5; Offb 11,13; Offb 11,19)19The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. (Ps 74,18; Offb 11,8; Offb 11,13; Offb 14,8; Offb 14,10; Offb 18,5)20And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. (Offb 6,14)21And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[4] each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe. (2Mo 9,23; Offb 11,19; Offb 16,9; Offb 16,11)
1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple speaking to the seven angels. ‘Go’, it said. ‘Pour out the seven bowls of God’s great anger on the earth.’2The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land. Ugly and painful sores broke out on people. Those people had the mark of the beast and worshipped its statue.3The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. It turned into blood like the blood of a dead person. Every living thing in the sea died.4The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water. They became blood.5Then I heard the angel who was in charge of the waters. He said, ‘Holy One, the way you judge is fair. You are the God who is and who was.6Those who worship the beast have poured out blood. They have poured out the life’s blood of your holy people and your prophets. So you have given blood to drink to those who worship the beast. That’s exactly what they should get.’7Then I heard the altar reply. It said, ‘Lord God who rules over all, the way you judge is true and fair.’8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. The sun was allowed to burn people with fire.9They were burned by the blazing heat. So they spoke evil things against the name of God, who controlled these plagues. But they refused to turn away from their sins. They did not give glory to God.10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast. The kingdom of the beast became very dark. People chewed on their tongues because they were suffering so much.11They spoke evil things against the God of heaven. They did this because of their pains and their sores. But they refused to turn away from the sins they had committed.12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates. Its water dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs. They came out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.14They are spirits of demons that perform signs. They go out to gather the kings of the whole world for battle. This battle will take place on the great day of the God who rules over all.15‘Look! I am coming like a thief! Blessed is anyone who stays awake and keeps their clothes on. Then they will be ready. They will not be caught naked and so be put to shame.’16Then the evil spirits gathered the kings together. In the Hebrew language, the place where the kings met is called Armageddon.17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. Out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne. It said, ‘It is done!’18Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, thunder and a powerful earthquake. There has never been an earthquake as terrible as this. One like this hasn’t happened while human beings have lived on earth.19The great city split into three parts. The cities of the nations crumbled and fell. God remembered Babylon the Great. He gave Babylon the cup filled with the wine of his terrible anger.20Every island ran away. The mountains could not be found.21Huge hailstones weighing about 40 kilograms each fell from the sky. The hail crushed people. And they spoke evil things against God because of the plague. That’s because the plague of hail was so terrible.
