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!”
По цьому почув я на́че гучни́й голос великого на́товпу в небі, який говорив: „Алілу́я! Спасі́ння, і слава, і сила Господе́ві нашому,
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]!”
правдиві бо та справедливі суди́ Його, бо Він засудив ту велику розпусницю, що землю зіпсула своєю розпустою, і помстив за кров Своїх рабів з її рук!“
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)
І вдруге сказали вони: „Алілуя! І з неї дим виступає на вічні віки!“ (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!)”
І попа́дали двадцять чотири ста́рці й чотири твари́ни, і поклонилися Богові, що сидить на престолі, говорячи: „Амінь, алілуя!“
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]!”
А від престолу вийшов голос, що кли́кав: „Хваліть Бога нашого, усі раби Його, і всі, хто боїться Його, і малі, і великі!“
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!
І почув я ніби голос великого на́товпу, і на́че шум великої води, і мов голос громів гучних, що вигукували: „Алілуя, бо запанував Господь, наш Бог Вседержи́тель!
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.
Радіймо та тішмося, і даймо славу Йому́, бо весі́лля Агнця настало, і жона Його себе приготува́ла!“
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.
І їй да́но було зодягнутися в чистий та світлий вісо́н, бо вісо́н — то праведність святих.
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!”
І сказав він мені: „Напиши: Блаженні покликані на весільну вечерю Агнця!“І сказав він мені: „Це правдиві Божі слова!“
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])!”
І я впав до його ніг, щоб вклонитись йому. А він каже мені: „Таж ні! Я співслуга твій та братів твоїх, хто має засві́дчення Ісусове, — Богові вклонися!“Бо засві́дчення Ісусове, — то дух пророцтва.
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].
І побачив я небо відкрите. І ось білий кінь, а Той, Хто на ньому сидів, зветься Вірний і Правдивий, і Він праведно судить і воює.
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].
Очі Його — немов по́лум'я огняне́, а на голові Його — багато вінців. Він ім'я́ мав написане, якого не знає ніхто, тільки Він Сам.
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).”
I зодя́гнений був Він у шату, покра́шену кров'ю. А Йому на ім'я: Слово Боже.
14 The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
А війська́ небесні, зодягнені в білий та чистий вісо́н, їхали вслід за Ним на білих ко́нях.
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].
А з Його уст виходив гострий меч, щоб ним бити наро́ди. І Він па́стиме їх залізним жезлом, і Він буде топтати чави́ло вина лютого гніву Бога Вседержи́теля!
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.”
I Він має на шаті й на сте́гнах Своїх написане ймення: „Цар над царями, і Господь над панами“.
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]!
І бачив я одного ангола, що на сонці стояв. І він гучним голосом кли́кнув, ка́жучи до всіх птахів, що серед неба літали: „Ходіть, — і зберіться на велику Божу вечерю,
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]!”
щоб ви їли тіла царів, і тіла ти́сячників, і тіла сильних, і тіла ко́ней і тих, хто сидить на них, і тіла всіх вільних і рабів, і мали́х, і великих“.
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.
І я побачив звіри́ну, і зе́мних царів, і війська́ їхні, зібрані, щоб учинити війну з Тим, Хто сидить на коні, та з ві́йськом Його.
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].
А решта побита була мечем Того, Хто сидів на коні, що виходив із уст Його. І все пта́ство наїлося їхніми трупами.
