Revelation 15

JMNT(i) 1 Next I saw another sign in the atmosphere (or: sky; heaven) – great and wonderful (marvelous): seven agents continuously holding the last seven plagues (smitings, strokes), because within them God’s strong passion (or: fury; wrath) is (or: was) brought to its goal (has been brought to its purpose; is completed; is finished, was ended; has accomplished its destiny). 2 And I saw as it were a glassy (crystalline) sea having been mixed with Fire, and the folks (or: those) continually overcoming (being progressively victorious; presently conquering) – from out of [the power and influence of] the little wild animal (creature; beast), and from out of [the nature of] its image, and from out of [the identity of] the number of its name – standing (or: having made a stand) upon the glassy (crystalline) sea, continuously holding God’s lyres (harps). 3 And they repeatedly sing the song (or: ode) of Moses, God’s slave, as well as (or: even) the song (or: ode) of the little Lamb, saying, "O Lord [= O Yahweh], The All-Strong (Omnipotent, Almighty) God, Your acts (works) [are] great ones, and wonderful ones (marvelous ones)! The King of the nations (multitudes, ethnic groups; [Sinaiticus & p45 read: King of the ages])! Your ways (roads, paths) [are] just ones (fair and equitable ones in accord with the Way pointed out) and true (or: real) ones! 4 "O Lord [= O Yahweh], who may by no means (or: who may in no way) fear You and glorify (bring good reputation to) Your Name? Because [You] only (alone; without accompaniment) [are] appropriately pious, sanctioned, and benign [Vat. 2066 reads: Set-apart (Holy)]. Because the multitudes (nations: ethnic groups) WILL continue arriving, and they WILL continue worshiping in Your presence (in Your sight; before You). Because the results of Your righteousness (effects of Your fairness and equity, just decrees and decisions; actions according to the Way pointed out, results of justification, actualization of justice and rightwising of relationships) are manifested (or: were brought to light; were made to appear)." 5 Later, after these things, I saw, and the Temple (Divine habitation; sanctuary), which equates to the Tabernacle of the Witness (or: whose source and origin was the tent of testimony and evidence), was opened up within the midst of the atmosphere (or: centered in, and in union with, heaven), 6 and the seven agents – those continuously holding the seven plagues (smitings) – came out of the Temple, being clothed with bright, clean (unsoiled, pure) linen [other MSS: liqon, stone], and having been bound with a girdle around the breasts [with] golden girdles. 7 Then one out of the four living ones gave (or: gives) to the seven agents seven golden bowls (or: shallow cups) continuously brimming (being full) of the strong passion (rushing emotion; or: fury; anger) of the God Who is continuously living on into the ages of the ages (or: from God, the One continuously living [and proceeding] into the [most significant] eons of [all of] the eons). 8 And then the Temple was made full of smoke from out of God’s glory, and from out of His power (or: ability) and no one had power (or: was able) to enter into the Temple until the seven plagues (blows; smitings) of the seven agents would (or: can) be brought to their purposed goal and completed.
