Revelation, Chapter 11
Yoḥanan is told to measure the temple of God, and two witnesses prophesy in sackcloth for twelve hundred and sixty days. The beast from the bottomless pit kills them, but after three and a half days they rise and ascend to heaven. At the seventh trumpet the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of the Lord and of His Messiah.
11:1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, “Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Καὶ ἐδόθη μοι κάλαμος ὅμοιος ῥάβδῳ καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος εἰστήκει λέγων, Ἔγειραι, καὶ μέτρησον τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας ἐν αὐτῷ.
אעתה ניתן לי מכשיר מדידה, מעין סרגל ארוך, ונאמר לי: ”קום ומדוד את היכל ה׳ ואת המזבח, וספור את המשתחווים בו.
11:2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
καὶ τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἔξωθεν τοῦ ναοῦ ἔκβαλε ἔξω, καὶ μὴ αὐτὴν μετρήσῃς, ὅτι ἐδόθη τοῖς ἔθνεσι· καὶ τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἁγίαν πατήσουσι μῆνας τεσσαράκοντα δύο.
באך אל תמדוד את החצר שנמצאת מחוץ להיכל, כי היא ניתנה לגויים שירמסו את עיר הקודש במשך ארבעים־ושניים חודשים.
11:3And I will give power unto My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
καὶ δώσω τοῖς δυσὶ μάρτυσί μου, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν ἡμέρας χιλίας διακοσίας ἑξήκοντα, περιβεβλημένοι σάκκους.
גאני אתן כוח וסמכות לשני העדים שלי לנבא 1260 יום בלבוש שק.“
11:4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
οὗτοί εἰσιν αἱ δύο ἐλαῖαι, καὶ αἱ δύο λυχνίαι αἱ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς γῆς ἑστῶσαι.
דשני עדים אלה הם שתי המנורות ושני ענפי הזית העומדים לפני אלוהי הארץ.
11:5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
καὶ εἴ τις αὐτοὺς θέλῃ ἀδικῆσαι, πῦρ ἐκπορεύεται ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν, καὶ κατεσθίει τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν· καὶ εἴ τις αὐτοὺς θέλῃ ἀδικῆσαι, οὕτω δεῖ αὐτὸν ἀποκτανθῆναι.
הכל המנסה לפגוע בהם יומת באש אשר יוצאת מפיהם ושורפת את אויביהם.
11:6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
οὗτοι ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν κλεῖσαι τὸν οὐρανόν, ἵνα μὴ βρέχῃ ὑετὸς ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτῶν τῆς προφητείας, καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔχουσιν ἐπὶ τῶν ὑδάτων, στρέφειν αὐτὰ εἰς αἷμα, καὶ πατάξαι τὴν γῆν πάσῃ πληγῇ, ὁσάκις ἐὰν θελήσωσι.
ויש להם גם כוח וסמכות להפוך את הנהרות והימים לדם, ולהכות את הארץ בכל מגפה שיחפצו.
11:7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
καὶ ὅταν τελέσωσι τὴν μαρτυρίαν αὐτῶν, τὸ θηρίον τὸ ἀναβαῖνον ἐκ τῆς ἀβύσσου ποιήσει πόλεμον μετ’ αὐτῶν, καὶ νικήσει αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ αὐτούς.
זכשיסיימו שני הנביאים את שלוש וחצי שנות עדותם, תכריז החיה שעולה מהתהום מלחמה נגדם, והיא תנצח ותהרוג אותם.
11:8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sedom (Sodom) and Mitzrayim (Egypt), where also our Master was crucified.
καὶ τὰ πτῶματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῆς πλατείας πόλεως τῆς μεγάλης, ἥτις καλεῖται πνευματικῶς Σόδομα καὶ Αἴγυπτος, ὅπου καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν ἐσταυρώθη.
ח–טבמשך שלושה ימים וחצי תהיינה גוויותיהם מוטלות ברחובות העיר הגדולה, שנקראת בצדק סדום או מצרים, מקום שבו נצלב אדונם. אנשים רבים מכל הארצות, העמים, הגזעים והלשונות יראו גויות שני הנביאים, אבל לא יניחו לאיש לקברם כהלכה.
11:9And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not permit their dead bodies to be put in graves.
καὶ βλέψουσιν ἐκ τῶν λαῶν καὶ φυλῶν καὶ γλωσσῶν καὶ ἐθνῶν τὰ πτῶματα αὐτῶν ἡμέρας τρεῖς καὶ ἥμισυ, καὶ τὰ πτώματα αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀφήσουσι τεθῆναι εἰς μνῆματα.
ט(כלול בפסוק ח)
11:10And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς χάρουσιν ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται, καὶ δῶρα πέμψουσιν ἀλλήλοις, ὅτι οὗτοι οἱ δύο προφῆται ἐβασάνισαν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
יתהיה שמחה כלל־עולמית – אנשים רבים ירקדו, יצהלו ואפילו יחלקו מתנות; הם יחוגו את מות שני הנביאים שהכאיבו ליושבי הארץ.
11:11And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
καὶ μετὰ τὰς τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ ἥμισυ, πνεῦμα ζωῆς ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσῆλθεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν, καὶ φόβος μέγας ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τοὺς θεωροῦντας αὐτούς.
יאאך כעבור שלושה ימים וחצי ייתן אלוהים רוח חיים בשני הנביאים, והם יקומו לתחייה! כל מי שיראה אותם יפחד מאוד.
11:12And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, “Come up hither.” And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
καὶ ἤκουσαν φωνὴν μεγάλην ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, λέγουσαν αὐτοῖς, Ἀνάβητε ὧδε. καὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ. καὶ ἐθεώρησαν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν.
יבלאחר מכן תישמע קריאה רמה מן השמים: ”עלו הנה!“ והשניים יעלו לשמים בענן לנגד עיני שונאיהם.
11:13And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐγένετο σεισμὸς μέγας, καὶ τὸ δέκατον τῆς πόλεως ἔπεσε, καὶ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν τῷ σεισμῷ ὀνόματα ἀνθρώπων, χιλιάδες ἑπτά· καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἔμφοβοι ἐγένοντο, καὶ ἔδωκαν δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
יגבאותה שעה תהיה רעידת אדמה נוראה; עשירית העיר תיהרס ו־7000 איש ייהרגו. הנשארים בחיים יהיו אחוזי חלחלה ויתנו כבוד לאלוהי השמים.
11:14The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly.
Ἡ οὐαὶ ἡ δευτέρα ἀπῆλθεν· καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἡ οὐαὶ ἡ τρίτη ἔρχεται ταχύ.
ידהאסון השני חלף, אולם שלישי בא מיד בעקבותיו.
11:15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Messiah; and He shall reign for ever and ever.”
Καὶ ὁ ἕβδομος ἄγγελος ἐσάλπισε, καὶ ἐγένοντο φωναὶ μεγάλαι ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, λέγουσαι, Ἐγένοντο αἱ βασιλεῖαι τοῦ κόσμου, τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ βασιλεύσει εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
טוכאשר תקע המלאך השביעי בשופרו נשמעו קולות רעמים בשמים: ”ממלכת העולם שייכת עתה לאדוננו ולמשיחו, והוא ימלוך לעולם ועד!“
11:16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
καὶ οἱ εἴκοσι καὶ τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι οἱ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ καθήμενοι ἐπὶ τοὺς θρόνους αὐτῶν, ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν, καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ Θεῷ,
טזעשרים־וארבעה הזקנים, היושבים על כיסאותיהם לפני אלוהים, נפלו על פניהם, השתחוו לאלוהים
11:17Saying, “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which are, and were, and are to come; because You have taken to You Your great power, and have reigned.
λέγοντες, Εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος, ὅτι εἴληφας τὴν δύναμίν σου τὴν μεγάλην, καὶ ἐβασίλευσας.
יזוקראו: ”אנו מודים לך, ה׳ אלוהי צבאות אשר היה והווה, כי לבשת את כוחך הרב ומלכותך התחילה.
11:18And the nations were angry, and Your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should give reward unto Your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.”
καὶ τὰ ἔθνη ὠργίσθησαν, καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ ὀργή σου, καὶ ὁ καιρὸς τῶν νεκρῶν κριθῆναι, καὶ δοῦναι τὸν μισθὸν τοῖς δούλοις σου τοῖς προφήταις καὶ τοῖς ἁγίοις καὶ τοῖς φοβουμένοις τὸ ὄνομά σου, τοῖς μικροῖς καὶ τοῖς μεγάλοις, καὶ διαφθεῖραι τοὺς διαφθείροντας τὴν γῆν.
יחעמי־העולם כעסו עליך, אך הגיעה העת שתכעס אתה עליהם! הגיע המועד לשפוט את המתים ולתת שכר לעבדיך – לנביאים ולכל המאמינים בשמך, לקטנים ולגדולים – ולהרוס את אלה שהשחיתו את הארץ.“
11:19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Καὶ ἠνοίγη ὁ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ὤφθη ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένοντο ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταὶ καὶ σεισμὸς καὶ χάλαζα μεγάλη.
יטלאחר מכן נפתח בשמים היכל ה׳ ובתוכו נראה ארון־הברית. ברקים הבריקו, רעמים רעמו, ברד כבד ירד על הארץ, נשמעו קולות ורעשים והאדמה רעדה.

Sources & method
- English translation
- The King James Version (public domain), lightly modernized by Benei Avraham: “thee/thou/ye” become “you,” older verb forms are updated, and archaic words are replaced only where the meaning would otherwise be unclear. People and places with Hebrew names carry them, with the King James spelling in parentheses the first time on each page (e.g., Yeshua (Jesus)); Greek and Roman names keep their English form. Christ is “Messiah”; Lord, used of Yeshua, is “Master”; where the Greek has Kyrios for God, the English keeps “the Lord.” “Church” is “congregation,” “baptize” is “immerse,” and the Holy Ghost is “the Holy Spirit.”
