Apocalypsis 19
1 Post haec audivi quasi vocem turbarum multarum in caelo dicentium: Alleluia: Laus, et gloria, et virtus Deo nostro est:
After this I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!
2 quia vera, et iusta iudicia sunt eius, qui iudicavit de meretrice magna, quae corrupit terram in prostitutione sua, et vindicavit sanguinem servorum suorum de manibus eius.
For His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the blood of His servants that was poured out by her hand.”
And a second time they called out: “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
4 Et ceciderunt seniores vigintiquattuor, et quattuor animalia, et adoraverunt Deum sedentem super thronum, dicentes: Amen: Alleluia.
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying: “Amen, Hallelujah!”
5 Et vox de throno exivit, dicens: Laudem dicite Deo nostro omnes servi eius: et qui timetis eum pusilli, et magni.
Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you who serve Him, and those who fear Him, small and great alike!”
6 Et audivi quasi vocem turbae magnae, et sicut vocem aquarum multarum, et sicut vocem tonitruorum magnorum, dicentium: Alleluia: quoniam regnavit Dominus Deus noster omnipotens.
And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
7 Gaudeamus, et exultemus: et demus gloriam ei: quia venerunt nuptiae Agni, et uxor eius praeparavit se.
Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.
8 Et datum est illi ut cooperiat se byssino splendenti, et candido. Byssinum enim iustificationes sunt Sanctorum.
She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.
9 Et dicit mihi: Scribe: Beati, qui ad coenam nuptiarum Agni vocati sunt: et dicit mihi: Haec verba Dei vera sunt.
Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
10 Et cecidi ante pedes eius, ut adorarem eum. Et dicit mihi: Vide ne feceris: conservus tuus sum, et fratrum tuorum habentium testimonium Iesu. Deum adora. Testimonium enim Iesu est spiritus prophetiae.
So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
11 Et vidi caelum apertum, et ecce equus albus, et qui sedebat super eum, vocabatur Fidelis, et Verax, et cum iustitia iudicat, et pugnat.
Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.
12 Oculi autem eius sicut flamma ignis, et in capite eius diademata multa, habens nomen scriptum, quod nemo novit nisi ipse.
He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.
13 Et vestitus erat veste aspersa sanguine: et vocabatur nomen eius, Verbum Dei.
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.
14 Et exercitus qui sunt in caelo, sequebantur eum in equis albis, vestiti byssino albo, et mundo.
The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses.
15 Et de ore eius procedit gladius ex utraque parte acutus: ut in ipso percutiat Gentes. Et ipse reget eas in virga ferrea: et ipse calcat torcular vini furoris irae Dei omnipotentis.
And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
16 Et habet in vestimento, et in foemore suo scriptum: Rex regum, et Dominus dominantium.
And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 Et vidi unum Angelum stantem in sole, et clamavit voce magna, dicens omnibus avibus, quae volabant per medium caeli: Venite, et congregamini ad coenam magnam Dei:
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,
18 ut manducetis carnes regum, et carnes tribunorum, et carnes fortium, et carnes equorum, et sedentium in ipsis, et carnes omnium liberorum, et servorum, et pusillorum, et magnorum.
so that you may eat the flesh of kings and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of everyone slave and free, small and great.”
19 Et vidi bestiam, et reges terrae, et exercitus eorum congregatos ad faciendum praelium cum illo, qui sedebat in equo, et cum exercitu eius.
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army.
21 Et ceteri occisi sunt in gladio sedentis super equum, qui procedit de ore ipsius: et omnes aves saturatae sunt carnibus eorum.
And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from the mouth of the One seated on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
