Measure di Temple
Two witness prophesy for mourning cloth, di beast kill dem, and dem lie down without burial while di city dey celebrate and dey exchange gift. After three and half days dem stand up. Di seventh trumpet announce sey di world kingdom don become our Papa own, and di elders thank am.
11 1Dem give me one reed wey be like measuring rod, and dem tell me say: “Stand up go measure di temple of our Papa, di altar, and dem wey dey worship for there. 2Leave di courtyard wey dey outside di temple; no measure am—dem don give am to di nations, and dem go trample di holy city for forty-two months. a a v2 Di forty-two months — like di 1,260 days and “time, times, and half a time” for other place for Revelation — na symbolic time of trial wey get limit and border, no be real calendar count. 3I go give power to my two witnesses, and dem go prophesy for 1,260 days, wey dem wear mourning cloth.” b b v3 1,260 days na di same time as di forty-two months for verse 2 — around three and a half years.
4Dis na di two olive tree and di two lampstand wey dey stand for front of di Papa of di earth. 5If anybody want harm dem, fire go pour comot from dem mouth, and e go chop dem enemy; anybody wey want harm dem, na so dem go take kill am. 6Dis two get power to lock di sky so rain no go fall while dem dey prophesy, and dem get power over di waters to turn am to blood, and to strike di earth with every plague any time wey dem want.
7When dem finish to testify, di beast wey go rise comot from di abyss go make war against dem, defeat dem, and kill dem. 8Dem dead body go lie down for di street of di great city, wey dem dey call Sodom and Egypt for picture-talk, di place wey dem also nail dem Oga—Jesus—for cross. 9Some people from every people, tribe, language, and nation go look dem dead body for three and a half days and refuse to bury dem for grave. 10Di people wey dey live for earth go dey rejoice over dem and celebrate, and dem go send gift to one anoda, because dis two prophets bin torment di people wey dey live for earth.
11After di three and a half days, life-breath from our Papa enter dem, and dem stand up for dem foot, and great fear catch dem wey dey look dem.
12Dem hear one loud voice from heaven tell dem, “Come up here.” And dem go up to heaven inside di cloud, and dem enemy dey look dem.
13For dat hour, one great earthquake happen; one part out of ten of di city fall, and 7,000 people die for inside am, and di rest, wey fear catch, give glory to our Papa wey dey for heaven.
14Di second woe don pass; look, di third woe dey come soon.
Di Kingdom Come Be Our Papa Own
15Then di seventh angel blow im trumpet, and loud voices for heaven talk say: “Di kingdom of di world don become di kingdom of our Papa and of im Christ, and e go reign forever and ever.” c c v15 Di seventh trumpet announce say di kingdom of di world don become di joint reign of our Papa and im Anointed One — Jesus. Papa and Pikin share di throne forever (e dey echo Psalm 2 — our Papa give di nations to im Pikin).
16Di twenty-four elders, wey sidon for dem throne for front of our Papa, fall down for dem face and worship am, 17dem talk say: “We thank you, Sovereign Papa Almighty, wey dey now and wey bin dey before, because you don take your great power and start to reign. 18Di nations bin dey rage, but your anger don come, and di time for dem to judge di dead, and to reward your servants di prophets and di saints and dem wey dey fear your name, both small and great, and to destroy dem wey dey destroy di earth.”
19Then di temple of our Papa wey dey for heaven open, and di ark of im Covenant show for inside. Then lightning, rumbling sound, thunder, earthquake, and heavy hail come.
