I had seen an angel standing on the sea and on the land. This angel raised his right hand to heaven.

我所看见的那踏海踏地的天使向天举起右手来，

我所看见的那踏海踏地的天使向天举起右手，

我所看见的那踏海踏地的天使向天举起右手，

我刚才所见的那位脚踏海洋和陆地的天使向天举起右手，

接着，我所看见的那位站在海上和地上的天使，向天举起他的右手，

我所看見的那踏海踏地的天使向天舉起右手來，

接著，我所看見的那位站在海上和地上的天使，向天舉起他的右手，

我即見蹈海踐地之天使、舉手向天、

後見彼足跨海陸之天神向天舉其右手、

Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.

And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven

Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward heaven.

And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,

The man raised both hands toward heaven. I heard him make a promise in the name of the God who lives forever. He answered me,“ Three and a half years. Then the power of the holy people will finally be broken. And all these things will come true.”

I raise my hand to heaven. Here is the promise I make. You can be sure that I live forever.

In six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea and everything in them. But he rested on the seventh day. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

“ You are worthy, our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You are worthy because you created all things. They were created and they exist. This is the way you planned it.”

The Lord is the great God. He is the greatest King. He rules over all the gods.He owns the deepest parts of the earth. The mountain peaks belong to him.The ocean is his, because he made it. He formed the dry land with his hands.Come, let us bow down and worship him. Let us fall on our knees in front of the Lord our Maker.

I am the Living One. I was dead. But now look! I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys to Death and Hell.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

In a loud voice he said,“ Have respect for God. Give him glory. The hour has come for God to judge. Worship him who made the heavens and the earth. Worship him who made the sea and the springs of water.”

The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. Out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne. It said,“ It is done!”

“ Friends, why are you doing this? We are only human, just like you. We are bringing you good news. Turn away from these worthless things. Turn to the living God. He is the one who made the heavens and the earth and the sea. He made everything in them.

He was holding a little scroll. It was lying open in his hand. The angel put his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.

But Abram said to the king of Sodom,“ I have raised my hand to make a promise to the Lord. He is the Most High God. He is the Creator of heaven and earth.

The living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne. He lives for ever and ever.

You are the one and only Lord. You made the heavens. You made even the highest heavens. You created all the stars in the sky. You created the earth and everything on it. And you made the oceans and everything in them. You give life to everything. Every living being in heaven worships you.

When God made his promise to Abraham, God gave his word. There was no one greater than himself to promise by. So he promised by making an appeal to himself.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him in the heavens above.Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his angels in heaven.Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.Praise him, you highest heavens. Praise him, you waters above the skies.Let all of them praise the name of the Lord, because at his command they were created.He established them for ever and ever. He gave them laws they will always have to obey.Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all the deepest parts of the ocean.

Tell them,‘ The Lord and King says,“ I chose Israel. On that day I raised my hand and made a promise. I made a promise to the members of Jacob’s family line. I made myself known to them in Egypt. I raised my hand and told them,‘ I am the Lord your God.’

As I walked around, I looked carefully at the things you worship. I even found an altar with to an unknown god written on it. So you don’t know what you are worshiping. Now I am going to tell you about this‘ unknown god.’

The angel of the Lord called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.He said,“ I am giving you my word that I will bless you. I will bless you because of what you have done,” announces the Lord.“ You have not held back your son, your only son.

Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the Lord their God.

Ever since the world was created it has been possible to see the qualities of God that are not seen. I’m talking about his eternal power and about the fact that he is God. Those things can be seen in what he has made. So people have no excuse for what they do.

I will bring you to the land I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I lifted up my hand and promised it to them. The land will belong to you. I am the Lord.’ ”

I also raised my hand and made a promise in the desert. I told my people I would not bring them into the land I had given them. It had plenty of milk and honey. It was the most beautiful land of all.

But I brought them into the land. I had promised to give the land to them. Then they offered sacrifices that made me very angry. They did it on every high hill and under every green tree. There they brought their sweet- smelling incense. And there they poured out their drink offerings.

Divide the land into equal parts. Long ago I raised my hand and made a promise. I promised to give the land to your people of long ago. So all of it will belong to you.

I will bring you into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord. Long ago I raised my hand and made a promise. I promised to give that land to your people of long ago.

So the Lord and King says,“ I raise my hand and make a promise. I promise that the nations around you will also be laughed at.

But you are the only true God. You are the only living God. You are the King who rules forever. When you are angry, the earth trembles with fear. The nations can’t stand up under your anger.The Lord speaks to the Jews living in Babylon. He says,“ Here is what you must tell the people of the nations. Tell them,‘ Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth. In fact, these gods will disappear from the earth. They will vanish from under the heavens.’ ”But God used his power to make the earth. His wisdom set the world in place. His understanding spread out the heavens.When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar. He makes clouds rise from one end of the earth to the other. He sends lightning along with the rain. He brings the wind out from his storerooms.

I also raised my hand and made a promise in the desert. I told my people I would scatter them among the nations. I would send them to other countries.
