And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying,“ You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was, because you have sent these judgments.

我听见掌管众水的天使说：“昔在、今在的圣者啊，你这样判断是公义的；

我听见掌管众水的天使说：“昔在、今在的圣者啊，你做的判断公义；

我听见掌管众水的天使说：“昔在、今在的圣者啊，你做的判断公义；

我听见掌管各水源的天使说：“昔在今在的圣者啊！你是公义的，因为你施行了审判。

我听见掌管众水的天使说：“今在昔在的圣者啊！你这样审判是公义的，

接着，我听见那位统管众水的天使说：“今在、昔在的圣者啊，你是公义的，因为你判定了这些事，

我聽見掌管眾水的天使說：昔在、今在的聖者啊，你這樣判斷是公義的；

我聽見掌管眾水的天使說：「昔在、今在的聖者啊，你做的判斷公義；

我聽見掌管眾水的天使說：「昔在、今在的聖者啊，你做的判斷公義；

我聽見掌管各水源的天使說：「昔在今在的聖者啊！你是公義的，因為你施行了審判。

我聽見掌管眾水的天使說：“今在昔在的聖者啊！你這樣審判是公義的，

我聽見掌管眾水的天使說：『今在昔在的聖義者，你這樣判罰是公義的：

接著，我聽見那位統管眾水的天使說：「今在、昔在的聖者啊，你是公義的，因為你判定了這些事，

我聞掌水之使者云、義哉、今在昔在維聖者歟、因爾如是而鞫也、

我聞掌水天使云、自昔及今之聖主、鞫人如是、無非大公、

我聞司水天使曰、今在昔在之聖主、如是審判乃公義矣、

吾聞掌水之天神曰「永生之神聖者乎爾之施罰義也。

Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:“ You are just in these judgments, O Holy One, you who are and who were;

Then I heard the angel who was in charge of the waters. He said,“ Holy One, the way you judge is fair. You are the God who is and who was.

And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say,“ Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments.

I heard the angel of the waters say, You are just, the Holy One, who is and who was, because you have passed judgment on these things.

And I heard the angel of the waters saying,“ Righteous are You, the One who is and who was, O Holy One, because You judged these things;

And I heard the angel of the waters saying:“ You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things.

And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge:

I heard the angel of the waters say: You are righteous, who is and who was, the Holy One, for You have decided these things.

And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

Now I heard the angel of the waters saying:“ You are just– the one who is and who was, the Holy One– because you have passed these judgments,

I heard the angel of the waters saying,“ You are righteous, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you have judged these things.

And they said,“ We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who always was, for now you have assumed your great power and have begun to reign.

“ I am the Alpha and the Omega— the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God.“ I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come— the Almighty One.”

The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness.

This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia. Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the sevenfold Spirit before his throne;

Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying,“ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”

And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:“ Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”

But the Lord is good; he has cut me free from the ropes of the ungodly.

Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”

And God will use this persecution to show his justice and to make you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering.In his justice he will pay back those who persecute you.

And I heard a voice from the altar, saying,“ Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, your judgments are true and just.”

“ The Lord is right,” Jerusalem says,“ for I rebelled against him. Listen, people everywhere; look upon my anguish and despair, for my sons and daughters have been taken captive to distant lands.

But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

“ But,” some might say,“ our sinfulness serves a good purpose, for it helps people see how righteous God is. Isn’t it unfair, then, for him to punish us?”( This is merely a human point of view.)

Therefore, the Lord has brought upon us the disaster he prepared. The Lord our God was right to do all of these things, for we did not obey him.

His judgments are true and just. He has punished the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the murder of his servants.”

Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood.

“ O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me.
