Revelation 11 (WEBP)

[1] A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
[2] Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
[3] I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
[4] These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
[5] If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
[6] These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
[7] When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.
[8] Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
[9] From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
[10] Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
[11] After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.
[12] I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
[13] In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
[14] The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.
[15] The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”
[16] The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
[17] saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and reigned.
[18] The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
[19] God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

Young’s Literal Translation

Revelation 11 (YLT)

[1] And there was given to me a reed like to a rod, and the messenger stood, saying, ‘Rise, and measure the sanctuary of God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it;
[2] and the court that is without the sanctuary leave out, and thou mayest not measure it, because it was given to the nations, and the holy city they shall tread down forty-two months;
[3] and I will give to My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy days, a thousand, two hundred, sixty, arrayed with sackcloth;
[4] these are the two olive trees, and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand;
[5] and if any one may will to injure them, fire doth proceed out of their mouth, and doth devour their enemies, and if any one may will to injure them, thus it behoveth him to be killed.
[6] These have authority to shut the heaven, that it may not rain rain in the days of their prophecy, and authority they have over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the land with every plague, as often as they may will.
[7] ‘And when they may finish their testimony, the beast that is coming up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them,
[8] and their dead bodies are upon the broad-place of the great city (that is called spiritually Sodom, and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified,)
[9] and they shall behold-they of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations-their dead bodies three days and a half, and their dead bodies they shall not suffer to be put into tombs,
[10] and those dwelling upon the land shall rejoice over them, and shall make merry, and gifts they shall send to one another, because these-the two prophets-did torment those dwelling upon the land.’
[11] And after the three days and a half, a spirit of life from God did enter into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those beholding them,
[12] and they heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, ‘Come up hither;’ and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them;
[13] and in that hour came a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city did fall, and killed in the earthquake were names of men-seven thousands, and the rest became affrighted, and they gave glory to the God of the heaven.
[14] The second woe did go forth, lo, the third woe doth come quickly.
[15] And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of the world did become those of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!’
[16] and the twenty and four elders, who before God are sitting upon their thrones, did fall upon their faces, and did bow before God,
[17] saying, ‘We give thanks to Thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art coming, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and didst reign;
[18] and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the land.’
[19] And opened was the sanctuary of God in the heaven, and there was seen the ark of His covenant in His sanctuary, and there did come lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
