Literal Version 

11:1 The two witnesses

11 Then I was given a measuring stick[ref] and told, “Go and measure God’s temple and the altar and the people who are worshipping there, 2 but exclude the outer courtyard. Don’t measure that because it’s been given to the non-Jews, and they’ll tread around the holy city for three and a half years.[ref] 3 Then I’ll give my two witnesses the ability to speak out God’s message for six months, while dressed in mourning garb.

4 Those are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the master of the earth.[ref] 5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and burns up their enemies, yes, if anyone wants to harm them then they deserve to be killed. 6 Those witnesses have the power to stop the rain so that it doesn’t rain while they’re speaking out,[ref] and they have power to turn rivers and lakes into blood,[ref] and to damage the earth with every type of disaster just as often as they want.[ref]

7 When the two witnesses have finished speaking out, the creature that comes up from the deep, dark pit[ref] will attack them. It’ll overpower them[ref] and then kill them. 8 Their corpses will lie on the road of the great city, which in spiritual terms is called Sedom[ref] and/or Mitsrayim (Egypt)—where their master was executed by being nailed to a stake.[ref] 9 People from every nation and tribe and language will look at their corpses for three and a half days and will prevent their corpses from being put into a tomb. 10 Those who are living on the earth will be happy about it and celebrate and send gifts to each another because those two prophets had tormented them, 11 but after three and a half days, God’s breath of life will enter into them and they’ll stand up.[ref] The people who see that will be terrified. 12 Then the two witnesses will hear a loud voice from the sky telling them, “Come up here.” Then they’ll go up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watch them go up.[ref] 13 At that same time, there will be a huge earthquake[ref] which will cause a tenth of the city to collapse. That’ll kill 7,000 people and the rest will be terrified and will acknowledge the God of heaven.

14 The second terror has then passed, but the third will be coming soon.

11 And was_given to_me a_rod similar to_a_staff saying:
Be_raising, and measure the temple of_ the _god, and the altar, and the ones prostrating in it.
2 And the courtyard which outside the temple, throw_out outside and not it you_may_measure, because it_was_given to_the nations, and the city the holy they_will_be_treading forty for_months two.
3 And I_will_be_giving to_the two witnesses of_me, and they_will_be_prophesying for_days two_hundred a_thousand sixty, having_been_clothed in_sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive_trees and the two lampstands, which before the master of_the earth having_stood.
5 And if anyone them is_wanting to_injure, fire is_going_out of the mouth of_them, and is_devouring the enemies of_them.
And if anyone may_want them to_injure, thus it_is_fitting him to_be_killed_off.
6 These are_having the power to_shut the sky, in_order_that no rain may_be_raining in_the days of_the prophecy of_them, and power they_are_having over the waters, to_be_turning them into blood, and to_strike the earth with every plague, as_often_as if they_may_want.
7 And whenever they_may_finish the testimony of_them, the wild_animal which going_up out_of the abyss will_be_making with them war, and will_be_overcoming them, and will_be_killing_off them.
8 And the corpse of_them will_be on the road of_the city the great, which is_being_called spiritually, Sodoma/(Şədom) and Aiguptos/(Miʦrayim), where also the master of_them was_executed_on_a_stake.
9 And they_are_looking of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, the corpse of_them three for_days and a_half, and the corpses of_them not they_are_allowing to_be_put into a_tomb.
10 And the ones dwelling on the earth are_rejoicing over them, and are_being_gladdened, and gifts they_will_be_sending to_one_another, because these the prophets two tormented the ones dwelling on the earth.
11 And after the three days and a_half, the_spirit of_life from the god came_in into them, and they_stood on the feet of_them, and fear great fell_on on the ones observing them.
12 And they_heard a_voice great out_of the heaven, saying to_them:
Go_up here.
And they_went_up to the sky in the cloud, and observed them the enemies of_them.
13 And in that the hour became an_earthquake great, and the tenth of_the city fell, and were_killed_off in the earthquake, the_names of_people seven thousands, and the rest frightened became, and they_gave glory to_the god of_ the _heaven.
14 The woe the second went_away, see, is_coming the woe the third quickly.
