1 Depois destas coisas, ouvi no céu uma como grande voz de numerosa multidão, dizendo:

Aleluia!

A salvação, e a glória, e o poder são do nosso Deus,

2 porquanto verdadeiros e justos são os seus juízos,

pois julgou a grande meretriz

que corrompia a terra com a sua prostituição

e das mãos dela

vingou o sangue dos seus servos.

3 Segunda vez disseram:

Aleluia!

E a sua fumaça sobe pelos séculos dos séculos.

4 Os vinte e quatro anciãos e os quatro seres viventes prostraram-se e adoraram a Deus, que se acha sentado no trono, dizendo: Amém! Aleluia! 5 Saiu uma voz do trono, exclamando:

Dai louvores ao nosso Deus,

todos os seus servos,

os que o temeis,

os pequenos e os grandes.

6 Então, ouvi uma como voz de numerosa multidão, como de muitas águas e como de fortes trovões, dizendo:

Aleluia!

Pois reina o Senhor,

nosso Deus, o Todo-Poderoso.

7 Alegremo-nos, exultemos

e demos-lhe a glória,

porque são chegadas as bodas do Cordeiro,

cuja esposa a si mesma já se ataviou,

8 pois lhe foi dado vestir-se

de linho finíssimo, resplandecente e puro.

Porque o linho finíssimo são os atos de justiça dos santos.

9 Então, me falou o anjo: Escreve: Bem-aventurados aqueles que são chamados à ceia das bodas do Cordeiro. E acrescentou: São estas as verdadeiras palavras de Deus. 10 Prostrei-me ante os seus pés para adorá-lo. Ele, porém, me disse: Vê, não faças isso; sou conservo teu e dos teus irmãos que mantêm o testemunho de Jesus; adora a Deus. Pois o testemunho de Jesus é o espírito da profecia.

11 Vi o céu aberto, e eis um cavalo branco. O seu cavaleiro se chama Fiel e Verdadeiro e julga e peleja com justiça. 12 Os seus olhos são chama de fogo; na sua cabeça, há muitos diademas; tem um nome escrito que ninguém conhece, senão ele mesmo. 13 Está vestido com um manto tinto de sangue, e o seu nome se chama o Verbo de Deus; 14 e seguiam-no os exércitos que há no céu, montando cavalos brancos, com vestiduras de linho finíssimo, branco e puro. 15 Sai da sua boca uma espada afiada, para com ela ferir as nações; e ele mesmo as regerá com cetro de ferro e, pessoalmente, pisa o lagar do vinho do furor da ira do Deus Todo-Poderoso. 16 Tem no seu manto e na sua coxa um nome inscrito: Rei dos Reis e Senhor dos Senhores.

17 Então, vi um anjo posto em pé no sol, e clamou com grande voz, falando a todas as aves que voam pelo meio do céu: Vinde, reuni-vos para a grande ceia de Deus, 18 para que comais carnes de reis, carnes de comandantes, carnes de poderosos, carnes de cavalos e seus cavaleiros, carnes de todos, quer livres, quer escravos, tanto pequenos como grandes.

19 E vi a besta e os reis da terra, com os seus exércitos, congregados para pelejarem contra aquele que estava montado no cavalo e contra o seu exército. 20 Mas a besta foi aprisionada, e com ela o falso profeta que, com os sinais feitos diante dela, seduziu aqueles que receberam a marca da besta e eram os adoradores da sua imagem. Os dois foram lançados vivos dentro do lago de fogo que arde com enxofre. 21 Os restantes foram mortos com a espada que saía da boca daquele que estava montado no cavalo. E todas as aves se fartaram das suas carnes.

1 After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,

Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God: 2 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah. 5 And a voice came forth from the throne, saying,

Give praise to our God, all ye his servants, ye that fear him, the small and the great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying,

Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth. 7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God. 10 And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself. 13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. 15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God; 18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: 21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

3 And again they shouted: "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever."

4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!"

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying: "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small!"

6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God's holy people.)

9 Then the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!" And he added, "These are the true words of God."

10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus."

11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.

12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.

13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." "He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God,

18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small."

19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army.

20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
