Revelation 15
1 Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
Und ich sah ein ander Zeichen im Himmel, das war groß und wundersam: sieben Engel, die hatten die letzten sieben Plagen; denn mit denselbigen ist vollendet der Zorn Gottes.
2 I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
Und sah als ein gläsern Meer, mit Feuer gemenget; und die den Sieg behalten hatten an dem Tier und seinem Bilde und seinem Malzeichen und seines Namens Zahl, daß sie stunden an dem gläsernen Meer und hatten Gottes Harfen.
3 They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
Und sangen das Lied Mose's, des Knechts Gottes, und das Lied des Lammes und sprachen: Groß und wundersam sind deine Werke, HERR, allmächtiger Gott; gerecht und wahrhaftig sind deine Wege, du König der Heiligen!
4 O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
Wer soll dich nicht fürchten, HERR, und deinen Namen preisen? Denn du bist allein heilig. Denn alle Heiden werden kommen und anbeten vor dir; denn deine Urteile sind offenbar worden.
5 After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
Danach sah ich, und siehe, da ward aufgetan der Tempel der Hütte des Zeugnisses im Himmel.
6 The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
Und gingen aus dem Tempel die sieben Engel, die die sieben Plagen hatten, angetan mit reiner, heller Leinwand, und umgürtet an ihren Brüsten mit güldenen Gürteln.
7 One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
Und eines der vier Tiere gab den sieben Engeln sieben güldene Schalen voll Zornes Gottes, der da lebet von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit. (aiōn g165)
8 The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
Und der Tempel ward voll Rauchs vor der HERRLIchkeit Gottes und vor seiner Kraft; und niemand konnte in den Tempel gehen, bis daß die sieben Plagen der sieben Engel vollendet wurden.
