Revelation 19
1 After this, I heard what seemed to be a great shout from a vast throng in Heaven, crying — ‘Hallelujah! To our God belong Salvation, and Glory, and Power,
Post haec audivi quasi vocem turbarum multarum in caelo dicentium: Alleluia: Laus, et gloria, et virtus Deo nostro est:
2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has passed judgment upon the Great Harlot who was corrupting the earth by her licentiousness, and he has taken vengeance upon her for the blood of his servants.’
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.
3 Again they cried — ‘Hallelujah!’ And the smoke from her ruins rises for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Et iterum dixerunt: Alleluia. Et fumus eius ascendit in saecula saeculorum. (aiōn g165)
4 Then the twenty-four Councillors and the Four Creatures prostrated themselves and worshiped God who was seated upon the throne, crying — ‘Amen, Hallelujah!’;
Et ceciderunt seniores vigintiquattuor, et quattuor animalia, et adoraverunt Deum sedentem super thronum, dicentes: Amen: Alleluia.
5 and from the throne there came a voice which said — ‘Praise our God all you who serve him, You who reverence him, both high and low.’
Et vox de throno exivit, dicens: Laudem dicite Deo nostro omnes servi eius: et qui timetis eum pusilli, et magni.
6 Then I heard ‘what seemed to be the shout of a vast throng, like the sound of many waters,’ and like the sound of loud peals of thunder, crying — ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord is King, our God, the Almighty.
Et audivi quasi vocem turbae magnae, et sicut vocem aquarum multarum, et sicut vocem tonitruorum magnorum, dicentium: Alleluia: quoniam regnavit Dominus Deus noster omnipotens.
7 Let us rejoice and exalt; and we will pay him honour, for the hour for the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.
Gaudeamus, et exultemus: et demus gloriam ei: quia venerunt nuptiae Agni, et uxor eius praeparavit se.
8 And to her it has been granted to robe herself in fine linen, white and pure, for that linen is the good deeds of the People of Christ.’
Et datum est illi ut cooperiat se byssino splendenti, et candido. Byssinum enim iustificationes sunt Sanctorum.
9 Then a voice said to me ‘Write — “Blessed are those who have been summoned to the marriage feast of the Lamb.”’ And the voice said — ‘These words of God are true.’
Et dicit mihi: Scribe: Beati, qui ad coenam nuptiarum Agni vocati sunt: et dicit mihi: Haec verba Dei vera sunt.
10 I prostrated myself at the feet of him who spoke to worship him, but he said to me — ‘Forbear; I am your fellow-servant, and the fellow-servant of your Brothers who bear their testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For to bear testimony to Jesus needs the inspiration of the Prophets.’
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.
11 Then I saw that Heaven lay open. There appears a white horse; its rider is called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True’; righteously does he judge and make war.
Et vidi caelum apertum, et ecce equus albus, et qui sedebat super eum, vocabatur Fidelis, et Verax, et cum iustitia iudicat, et pugnat.
12 His eyes are flaming fires; on his head there are many diadems, and he bears a name, written, which no one knows but himself;
Oculi autem eius sicut flamma ignis, et in capite eius diademata multa, habens nomen scriptum, quod nemo novit nisi ipse.
13 he has been clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood; and the name by which he is called is ‘The Word of God.’
Et vestitus erat veste aspersa sanguine: et vocabatur nomen eius, Verbum Dei.
14 The armies of Heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
Et exercitus qui sunt in caelo, sequebantur eum in equis albis, vestiti byssino albo, et mundo.
15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which ‘to smite the nations; and he will rule them with an iron rod.’ He ‘treads the grapes in the press’ of the maddening wine of the Wrath of Almighty God;
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.
16 and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written — ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’
Et habet in vestimento, et in foemore suo scriptum: Rex regum, et Dominus dominantium.
17 Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven — ‘Gather and come to the great feast of God,
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:
18 to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all freemen and slaves, and of high and low.’
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.
19 Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight with him who sat on the horse and with his army.
Et vidi bestiam, et reges terrae, et exercitus eorum congregatos ad faciendum praelium cum illo, qui sedebat in equo, et cum exercitu eius.
20 The Beast was captured, and with him was taken the false Prophet, who performed the marvels before the eyes of the Beast, with which he deceived those who had received the brand of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. Alive, they were thrown, both of them, into the fiery lake ‘of burning sulphur.’ (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rest were killed by the sword which came out of the mouth of him who rode upon the horse; and all the birds fed upon their flesh.
Et ceteri occisi sunt in gladio sedentis super equum, qui procedit de ore ipsius: et omnes aves saturatae sunt carnibus eorum.
