Die Propheten
The Seven Angels and the Seven Last Plagues
John sees a sign in heaven where seven angels receive the seven last plagues to complete God's wrath. Those who have overcome the beast stand by a sea of glass mixed with fire and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Then the temple in heaven is opened, and the angels come out dressed in shining linen. One of the four living creatures gives them golden bowls filled with God's wrath, and the temple fills with smoke so that no one can enter until the plagues are completed.
Offenbarung 15,1-8
1Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and astounding: seven angels holding seven plagues — the last ones, for with them the wrath of God is completed.
Καὶ εἶδον ἄλλο σημεῖον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μέγα καὶ θαυμαστόν, ἀγγέλους ἑπτὰ ἔχοντας πληγὰς ἑπτὰ τὰς ἐσχάτας, ὅτι ἐν αὐταῖς ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.
2And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and standing on the sea of glass were those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, holding harps given them by God.
Καὶ εἶδον ὡς θάλασσαν ὑαλίνην μεμιγμένην πυρί, καὶ τοὺς νικῶντας ἐκ τοῦ θηρίου καὶ ἐκ τῆς εἰκόνος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ ἑστῶτας ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν ὑαλίνην, ἔχοντας κιθάρας τοῦ θεοῦ.
3And they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Great and astounding are your works, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages.
καὶ ᾄδουσιν τὴν ᾠδὴν Μωϋσέως τοῦ δούλου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν ᾠδὴν τοῦ ἀρνίου λέγοντες· Μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ τὰ ἔργα σου, κύριε, ὁ θεός, ὁ παντοκράτωρ· δίκαιαι καὶ ἀληθιναὶ αἱ ὁδοί σου, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν ⸀αἰώνων·
4Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."
τίς οὐ μὴ ⸀φοβηθῇ, κύριε, καὶ ⸀δοξάσει τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι μόνος ⸀ὅσιος; ὅτι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἥξουσιν καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐφανερώθησαν.
5After this I looked, and the temple — the tent of witness — was opened in heaven,
Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον, καὶ ἠνοίγη ὁ ναὸς τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ,
6and out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean, shining linen and wearing golden sashes across their chests.
καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ ἑπτὰ ἄγγελοι οἱ ἔχοντες τὰς ἑπτὰ πληγὰς ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ, ⸀ἐνδεδυμένοι ⸀λίνον καθαρὸν λαμπρὸν καὶ περιεζωσμένοι περὶ τὰ στήθη ζώνας χρυσᾶς.
7Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
καὶ ἓν ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων ἔδωκεν τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλοις ἑπτὰ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
8And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
καὶ ἐγεμίσθη ὁ ναὸς καπνοῦ ἐκ τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν ναὸν ἄχρι τελεσθῶσιν αἱ ἑπτὰ πληγαὶ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων.
