Apokalypsy 19
1 Rehefa afaka izany, dia nahare hoatra ny feon’ ny vahoaka betsaka tany an-danitra aho nanao hoe: Haleloia! Ny famonjena sy ny voninahitra ary ny hery dia an’ Andriamanitsika;
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!”
2 Fa marina sy mahitsy ny fitsarana ataony; Fa nitsara ilay vehivavy janga lehibe Izy ― Dia ilay nandoto ny tany tamin’ ny fijangajangany ― Ary namaly ary noho ny ran’ ny mpanompony izay nalatsaky ny tànany.
“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]!”
3 Dia niteny fanindroany ireo hoe: Halelola! Ary ny setroky ny tanàna dia miakatra mandrakizay mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)
[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)
4 Ary ny loholona elatra amby roa-polo sy ny zava-manan’ aina efatra dia niankohoka nivavaka tamin’ Andriamanitra. Izay mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianana, ka nanao hoe: Amena; Haleloia!
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!)”
5 Ary nisy feo koa nivoaka avy teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianana ka nanao hoe: Miderà an’ Andriamanitsika ianareo mpanompony rehetra, dia ianareo izay matahotra Azy, na ny kely na ny lehibe.
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]!”
6 Dia nahare feo tahaka ny an’ ny vahoaka betsaka aho, sy tahaka ny firohondrohon’ ny rano be, ary tahaka ny fikotroky ny kotrokorana mafy, nanao hoe: Haleloila! Fa ny Tompo Andriamanitsika, dia ny Tsitoha, no Mpanjaka.
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!
7 Aoka isika hifaly sy ho ravoravo ka hanome voninahitra Ary; fa tonga ny fampakaram-badin’ ny Zanak’ ondry. Ka efa niomana ny vadiny.
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.
8 Ary nasaina nitafy rongony fotsy madinika sady madio no mangatsakatsaka izy; fa izany rongony fotsy madinika izany dia ny asa marina ataon’ ny olona masìna.
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.
9 Ary hoy koa izy tamiko Soraty: Sambatra izay nantsoina ho amin’ ny fanasana fampakaram-badin’ ny Zanak’ ondry. Fa hoy izy tamiko: Ireo dia teny marin’ Andriamanitra.
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!”
10 Dia niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony aho mba hivavaka aminy. Ary hoy izy tamiko: Tandremo, aza manao izao; fa mpanompo namanao ihany aho sady naman’ ireo rahalahinao izay mitana ny filazana an’ i Jesosy; Andriamanitra ihany no ivavaho; fa ny filazana an’ i Jesosy no fanahin’ ny faminaniana.
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])!”
11 Ary nahita ny lanitra voasokatra aho, ka, indro, nisy soavaly fotsy; ary Izay nitaingina azy dia atao hoe Mahatoky sy Marina, ary amin’ ny fahamarinana no itsarany sy iadiany.
[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].
12 Ary ny masony dia lelafo, ary tamin’ ny lohany nisy diadema maro; ary Izy manana anarana voasoratra, izay tsy misy mahalala akory afa-tsy ny tenany ihany.
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].
13 Ary miakanjo akanjo voafafy rà Izy; ary ny anarany atso hoe Ny Tenin’ Andriamanitra.
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).”
14 Ary ny antokon’ ny miaramila any an-danitra dia nanaraka Ary, samy nitaingina soavaly fotsy sy niakanjo rongony madinika sady fotsy no madio.
The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
15 Ary misy sabatra maranitra mivoaka avy amin’ ny vavany mba hamelenany ny firenena; ary Izy hanapaka azy amin’ ny tehim-by; ary Izy no manitsaka ny famiazana ny divain’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra Tsitoha.
[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].
16 Ary manana anarana voasoratra amin’ ny lambany sy ny feny Izy nanao hoe: MPANJAKAN’ NY MPANJAKA SY TOMPON’ NY TOMPO.
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.”
17 Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy anjely anankiray koa nitsangana teo amin’ ny masoandro, ary niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery izy ka nanao tamin’ ny voro-manidina rehetra teo afovoan’ ny habakabaka hoe: Avia, ka miangòna ho amin’ ny fanasana lehiben’ Andriamanitra,
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]!
18 mba hihinananareo ny nofon’ ny mpanjaka sy ny nofon’ ny mpifehy arivo sy ny nofon’ ny mahery sy ny nofon’ ny soavaly mbamin’ izay mitaingina azy ary ny nofon’ ny olona rehetra, na andevo na tsy andevo, na kely na lehibe.
[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]!”
19 Ary hitako ilay bibi-dia sy ny mpanjakan’ ny tany mbamin’ ny miaramilany tafangona mba hiady amin’ ilay mitaingina ny soavaly sy amin’ ny miaramilany.
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.
20 Ary nosamborina ilay bibi-dia mbamin’ ny mpaminany sandoka, dia ilay nanao ny famantarana teo anatrehany, izay nentiny namitaka ny efa nandray ny mariky ny bibi-dia sady miankohoka eo anoloan’ ny sariny; ary dia natsipy velona ho any amin’ ny farihy afo mirehitra solifara izy roroa. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
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 Ary ny olona sisa dia matin’ ny sabatra mivoaka avy amin’ ny vavan’ ilay mitaingina ny soavaly; ary ny vorona rehetra dia voky ny nofony.
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].
