- And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.
- He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
- He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
- I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
- (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.

- И увидел я Ангела, сходящего с неба, который имел ключ от бездны и большую цепь в руке своей.
- Он взял дракона, змия древнего, который есть диавол и сатана, и сковал его на тысячу лет,
- и низверг его в бездну, и заключил его, и положил над ним печать, дабы не прельщал уже народы, доколе не окончится тысяча лет; после же сего ему должно быть освобожденным на малое время.
- И увидел я престолы и сидящих на них, которым дано было судить, и души обезглавленных за свидетельство Иисуса и за слово Божие, которые не поклонились зверю, ни образу его, и не приняли начертания на чело свое и на руку свою. Они ожили и царствовали со Христом тысячу лет.
- Прочие же из умерших не ожили, доколе не окончится тысяча лет. Это--первое воскресение.
