Revelation 19
1 After these things I heard [what sounded] like a huge crowd in heaven. They were shouting things like, “(Hallelujah!/Praise our God!)” “He has saved us!” “He is glorious and mighty!”
Sedan hörde jag likasom starka röster av en stor skara i himmelen, som sade "Halleluja! Frälsningen och äran och makten tillhöra vår Gud.
2 “Praise him because he judges truly and justly!” “He has punished the very evil cities that are like a prostitute, because their people persuaded the other people of earth [MTY] to act immorally and idolatrously like they do.” “Praise him because he has punished them for murdering his servants [MTY]!”
Ty rätta och rättfärdiga äro hans domar; han har dömt den stora skökan, som fördärvade jorden genom sin otukt, och han har utkrävt sina tjänares blod av hennes hand."
3 [The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Och åter sade de: "Halleluja!" Och röken från henne stiger upp i evigheternas evigheter! (aiōn g165)
4 The 24 elders and the four living [creatures] (prostrated themselves/knelt down) and worshipped God, who sits on the throne. Then they said, “[It] is true! (Hallelujah!/Praise God!)”
Och de tjugufyra äldste och de fyra väsendena föllo ned och tillbådo Gud, som satt på tronen; de sade: "Amen! Halleluja!"
5 Someone spoke from the throne and said, “All you who are our God’s servants, praise him! All you who reverence him, [whether you are socially] significant or insignificant, praise him! [Everyone]!”
Och från tronen utgick en röst, som sade: "Loven vår Gud, alla I hans tjänare, I som frukten honom, både små och stora."
6 I heard something like the noise of a huge crowd [of people], like the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water), and like the sound of loud thunder. They were shouting: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) Because the Lord God, the Almighty One, reigns!
Och jag hörde likasom röster av en stor skara, lika bruset av stora vatten och dånet av starka tordön; de sade: "Halleluja! Herren, vår Gud, den Allsmäktige, har nu trätt fram såsom konung.
7 We should rejoice, we should be extremely glad, and we should honor him, because it is now time for Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, to be united permanently with his people, which will be like a man [MET] marrying his bride, and because those who belong to him have prepared themselves to be united with him.
Låtom oss glädjas och fröjda oss och giva honom äran; ty tiden är inne för Lammets bröllop, och dess brud har gjort sig redo.
8 God has permitted them to be completely pure, like a bride who [MET] dresses in fine linen that is bright and clean. Fine [bright and clean] linen represents the righteous acts of God’s people.
Och åt henne har blivit givet att kläda sig i fint linne, skinande och rent." Det fina linnet är de heligas rättfärdighet.
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write [this: God will abundantly] bless the people who are {whom [he] has} invited to the feast [that celebrates Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, [permanently uniting with his people, like someone] [MET] [marrying a wife].” He also said [to me]: “These words that God [declares] are true!”
Och han sade till mig: "Skriv: Saliga äro de som äro bjudna till Lammets bröllopsmåltid." Ytterligare sade han till mig: "Dessa ord äro sanna Guds ord."
10 I [immediately] (prostrated myself/knelt down) at his feet in order to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not [worship me]! I am [just] your [(sg)] fellow servant and the fellow servant of your [(sg)] fellow believers who tell people about Jesus. God is the one whom you should worship, because it is the Spirit of God who gives people the power to tell others about Jesus (OR, [those who tell others about] Jesus are [truly] declaring [the words that the Spirit of God has given them])!”
Och jag föll ned för hans fötter för att tillbedja honom, men han sade till mig: "Gör icke så. Jag är din medtjänare och dina bröders, deras som hava Jesu vittnesbörd. Gud skall du tillbedja. Ty Jesu vittnesbörd är profetians ande."
11 [In the vision] I saw heaven opened {open}, and I was surprised to see a white horse. [Jesus], the one who was riding on the horse, is called ‘Trustworthy and Genuine/True’. He judges [all people according to] what is right, and fights righteously [against his enemies].
Och jag såg himmelen öppen och fick där se en vit häst; och mannen som satt på den heter "Trofast och sannfärdig", och han dömer och strider i rättfärdighet.
12 His eyes [shone like] [MET] a flame of fire. There were many royal crowns on his head. A name had been written [on him]. Only he knows [the meaning of that name].
Hans ögon voro såsom eldslågor, och på sitt huvud bar han många kronor och hade ett namn där skrivet, som ingen känner utom han själv.
13 The robe he was wearing was drenched with blood. His name is [also] “(The one who expresses what God is like/The Word of God).”
Och han var klädd i en mantel som var doppad i blod; och det namn han har fått är "Guds Ord".
14 The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
Och honom följde, på vita hästar, de himmelska härskarorna, klädda i fint linne, vitt och rent.
15 [The words] that Jesus speaks [are like] [MTY] a sharp sword with which he will strike [the rebellious people of] the nations. He himself will rule them [powerfully, as though he had] [MET] an iron rod. He will crush [his enemies just like] [MET] [a person crushes grapes in a] winepress. [He will do this for] God Almighty, who is extremely angry [with them because of their sins].
Och från hans mun utgick ett skarpt svärd, varmed han skulle slå folken. Och han skall styra dem med järnspira; och han trampar Guds, den Allsmäktiges, stränga vredes vinpress.
16 On his cloak close to his thigh a name had been written {[he] had written a name}, which is “King who [rules over all other] kings and Lord who [rules over all other] lords.”
Och på sin mantel, över sin länd, har han detta namn skrivet: "Konungarnas konung och herrarnas herre."
17 I saw an angel who was standing in [the light of] [MTY] the sun. He called loudly to all the [flesh-eating] birds flying high in the sky, “Come and gather for the wonderful feast that God [is providing for you]!
Och jag såg en ängel stå i solen, och denne ropade med hög röst och sade till alla fåglar som flögo fram uppe i himlarymden: "Kommen hit, församlen eder till Guds stora gästabud,
18 [Come] and eat the flesh of all [God’s enemies who are dead—] the flesh of kings, army commanders, [people who fought] powerfully, horses and the [soldiers] who rode them, [and the flesh of all other kinds of people], whether [they were] free or slaves, [socially] insignificant or significant. [All kinds]!”
för att äta kött av konungar och krigsöverstar och hjältar, kött av hästar och deras ryttare, ja, kött av alla, både fria och trälar, både små och stora."
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of earth with their armies gathered together to fight against the Rider on the horse, and against his army.
Och jag såg vilddjuret och konungarna på jorden med sina härskaror, samlade för att utkämpa sin strid mot honom som satt på hästen och mot hans härskara.
20 The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rider on the horse killed the rest [of their armies] just by [speaking words], [which were like] [MTY] a sword that extended from his mouth. All those birds gorged themselves on the flesh of [the people whom he had killed].
Och de andra blevo dräpta med ryttarens svärd, det som utgick från hans mun; och alla fåglar blevo mättade av deras kött.
