19 След това чух като че ли силен глас от голямо множество на небето, който казваше: Алилуя! Спасение, слава и сила <принадлежат> на нашия Бог;

защото са истинни и праведни Неговите съдби; понеже Той осъди великата блудница, която е разтляла земята с блудството си, и даде върху нея възмездие за кръвта на Своите слуги.

И втори път рекоха: Алилуя! И димът й се издига до вечни векове.

И двадесетте и четири старци и четирите живи същества паднаха, та се поклониха на Бога, Който седи на престола, и казваха: Амин! Алилуя!

И от престола излезе глас, който казваше: Хвалете нашия Бог, всички Негови слуги, вие, които Му се боите, малки и големи.

И чух като глас от <много народ, и като глас от много води, и като глас от> {В изданието от 1940 г. тези думи липсват} силни гърмежи, които казваха: Алилуя! Защото Господ, нашият Бог, Всемогъщият, царува.

Нека се радваме и се веселим и нека отдадем Нему слава; защото дойде сватбата на Агнето, и Неговата жена се е приготвила.

И на нея се позволи да се облече в светъл и чист висон; защото висонът е праведните дела на светиите.

И каза ми: Напиши: Блажени тия, които са призвани на сватбената вечеря на Агнето. И казва ми: Тия думи са истинни Божии <думи>.

10 Тогава аз паднах пред нозете му да му се поклоня; но той ми рече: Недей; аз съм съслужител на тебе и на братята ти, които държат свидетелството за Исуса; поклони се Богу; защото духът на пророчеството е да свидетелствуваме за Исуса.

11 След това видях небето отворено, и ето бял кон, и Оня, Който яздеше на него, се наричаше Верен и Истинен, и съди и воюва праведно.

12 Очите Му <бяха> огнен пламък, на главата Му <бяха> много корони и носеше написано име, което никой не знаеше, а само Той;

13 и <беше> облечен в дреха, попръскана с кръв; и името Му беше Божието слово.

14 И небесните войски, облечени в бял и чист висон, следваха подир Него на бели коне.

15 Из устата Му излизаше остър меч, за да порази с него народите; и Той ще ги управлява с желязна тояга и ще стъпче лина на лютия гняв на Бога Всемогъщий.

16 И на дрехата и на бедрото Му имаше написано име: Цар на царете, и Господ на господарите.

17 После видях един ангел, стоящ в слънцето; и, извиквайки със силен глас, каза на всичките птици, които летят посред небето: Дойдете, събирайте се за великата Божия вечеря,

18 за да ядете месата на царе и месата на хилядници, месата на юнаци и месата на коне и на ония, които яздят на тях, дори месата на всичките човеци, свободни и роби, малки и големи.

19 И видях звяра и земните царе и войските им събрани да воюват против яздещия на коня и против Неговото войнство.

20 И звярът биде уловен, и с него лъжепророка, който бе извършил пред него знаменията, с които измами ония, които бяха приели белега на звяра, и които се покланяха на неговия образ; те двамата бяха хвърлени живи в огненото езеро, което гори с жупел.

21 А останалите бидоха избити с меча на яздещия на коня, <с меча>, който излизаше от устата Му. И всичките птици се наситиха от месата им.

Alabanzas en el cielo

19 Después de esto oí una gran voz, como de una gran multitud en el cielo, que decía:

«¡Aleluya!
Salvación, honra, gloria y poder
son del Señor Dios nuestro,
porque sus juicios son verdaderos y justos,
pues ha juzgado a la gran ramera
que corrompía la tierra con su fornicación,
y ha vengado la sangre de sus siervos
de la mano de ella.»

Otra vez dijeron:

«¡Aleluya!
El humo de ella ha de subir
por los siglos de los siglos.»

Entonces los veinticuatro ancianos y los cuatro seres vivientes se postraron en tierra y adoraron a Dios, que estaba sentado en el trono. Decían: «¡Amén! ¡Aleluya!» Y del trono salió una voz que decía:

«Alabad a nuestro Dios
todos sus siervos, y los que lo teméis,
así pequeños como grandes.»

Y oí como la voz de una gran multitud, como el estruendo de muchas aguas y como la voz de grandes truenos, que decía:

«¡Aleluya!,
porque el Señor, nuestro Dios Todopoderoso, reina.
Gocémonos, alegrémonos
y démosle gloria,
porque han llegado las bodas del Cordero
y su esposa se ha preparado.
Y a ella se le ha concedido
que se vista de lino fino,
limpio y resplandeciente.»

(El lino fino representa las acciones justas de los santos.)

La cena de las bodas del Cordero

El ángel me dijo: «Escribe: “Bienaventurados los que son llamados a la cena de las bodas del Cordero.”» Y me dijo: «Éstas son palabras verdaderas de Dios.»

10 Yo me postré a sus pies para adorarlo, pero él me dijo: «¡Mira, no lo hagas! Yo soy consiervo tuyo y de tus hermanos que mantienen el testimonio de Jesús. ¡Adora a Dios!» (El testimonio de Jesús es el espíritu de la profecía.)

El jinete del caballo blanco

11 Entonces vi el cielo abierto, y había un caballo blanco. El que lo montaba se llamaba Fiel y Verdadero, y con justicia juzga y pelea. 12 Sus ojos eran como llama de fuego, en su cabeza tenía muchas diademas y tenía escrito un nombre que ninguno conocía sino él mismo. 13 Estaba vestido de una ropa teñida en sangre y su nombre es: La Palabra de Dios. 14 Los ejércitos celestiales, vestidos de lino finísimo, blanco y limpio, lo seguían en caballos blancos. 15 De su boca sale una espada aguda para herir con ella a las naciones, y él las regirá con vara de hierro. Él pisa el lagar del vino del furor y de la ira del Dios Todopoderoso. 16 En su vestidura y en su muslo tiene escrito este nombre: Rey de reyes y Señor de señores.

17 Vi un ángel que estaba de pie en el sol, y clamó a gran voz diciendo a todas las aves que vuelan en medio del cielo: «¡Venid y congregaos a la gran cena de Dios! 18 Para que comáis carnes de reyes y capitanes y carnes de fuertes; carnes de caballos y de sus jinetes; carnes de todos, libres y esclavos, pequeños y grandes.»

19 Vi a la bestia y a los reyes de la tierra y sus ejércitos, reunidos para guerrear contra el que montaba el caballo y contra su ejército. 20 La bestia fue apresada, y con ella el falso profeta que había hecho delante de ella las señales con las cuales había engañado a los que recibieron la marca de la bestia y habían adorado su imagen. Estos dos fueron lanzados vivos dentro de un lago de fuego que arde con azufre. 21 Los demás fueron muertos con la espada que salía de la boca del que montaba el caballo, y todas las aves se saciaron de las carnes de ellos.

19 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

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 thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth 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 and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture 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 fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great 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 on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both 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 on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Threefold Hallelujah Over Babylon’s Fall

19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude(A) in heaven shouting:

“Hallelujah!(B)
Salvation(C) and glory and power(D) belong to our God,
    for true and just are his judgments.(E)
He has condemned the great prostitute(F)
    who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”(G)

And again they shouted:

“Hallelujah!(H)
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”(I)

The twenty-four elders(J) and the four living creatures(K) fell down(L) and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:

“Amen, Hallelujah!”(M)

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,(N)
you who fear him,
    both great and small!”(O)

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,(P) like the roar of rushing waters(Q) and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!(R)
    For our Lord God Almighty(S) reigns.(T)
Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!(U)
For the wedding of the Lamb(V) has come,
    and his bride(W) has made herself ready.
Fine linen,(X) bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(Y) of God’s holy people.)

Then the angel said to me,(Z) “Write this:(AA) Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”(AB) And he added, “These are the true words of God.”(AC)

10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him.(AD) 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!(AE) For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”(AF)

The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast

11 I saw heaven standing open(AG) and there before me was a white horse, whose rider(AH) is called Faithful and True.(AI) With justice he judges and wages war.(AJ) 12 His eyes are like blazing fire,(AK) and on his head are many crowns.(AL) He has a name written on him(AM) that no one knows but he himself.(AN) 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,(AO) and his name is the Word of God.(AP) 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen,(AQ) white(AR) and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword(AS) with which to strike down(AT) the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a](AU) He treads the winepress(AV) of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:(AW)

king of kings and lord of lords.(AX)

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds(AY) flying in midair,(AZ) “Come,(BA) gather together for the great supper of God,(BB) 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,(BC) free and slave,(BD) great and small.”(BE)

19 Then I saw the beast(BF) and the kings of the earth(BG) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse(BH) and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet(BI) who had performed the signs(BJ) on its behalf.(BK) With these signs he had deluded(BL) those who had received the mark of the beast(BM) and worshiped its image.(BN) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake(BO) of burning sulfur.(BP) 21 The rest were killed with the sword(BQ) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,(BR) and all the birds(BS) gorged themselves on their flesh.
