Хвала Вечному

19 После этого я услышал голос, звучащий как голос огромного множества людей. Они восклицали в небесах:

– Хвала Вечному!
    Спасение, слава и сила принадлежат нашему Богу,
потому что Его суды истинны и справедливы!
    Он осудил великую блудницу,
которая растлила мир своим развратом.
    Он отомстил ей за кровь Своих рабов!

И они опять воскликнули:

– Хвала Вечному!
    Дым от неё будет подниматься вовеки![a]

Двадцать четыре старца и четыре живых существа пали и поклонились Аллаху, сидящему на троне, говоря:

– Аминь! Хвала Вечному!

И от трона прозвучал голос:

– Хвалите нашего Бога,
    все Его рабы
и все боящиеся Его,
    малые и великие!

Затем я услышал голос, звучавший как голос множества людей, или как шум могучих вод, или как мощный раскат грома:

– Хвала Вечному!
    Потому что Вечный, наш Бог и Повелитель Сил, воцарился!
Давайте радоваться и веселиться!
    Воздадим Ему славу!
Наступил час бракосочетания Ягнёнка![b]
    Его невеста уже приготовила себя!
Ей дано тончайшее льняное платье,
    чистое и блестящее.

(Это платье – символ праведных дел святого народа Аллаха.)[c]

Потом ангел сказал мне:

– Запиши: благословенны те, кто приглашён на свадебный пир Ягнёнка!

И добавил:

– Это истинные слова Аллаха.

10 Тогда я пал к его ногам, чтобы поклониться ему, но он сказал мне:

– Не делай этого! Я тоже раб Аллаха, как ты и твои братья, держащиеся свидетельства Исы[d]. Поклонись Аллаху! Потому что свидетельство Исы[e] – это дух пророчества.

Всадник на белом коне

11 И увидел я раскрытые небеса и всадника на белом коне. Всадника звали Верный и Истинный[f]. Он справедливо судит[g] и ведёт войну. 12 Его глаза, как пылающий огонь, и на Его голове множество венцов. На Нём написано имя, которого никто не знает, кроме Него Самого.[h] 13 Он одет в плащ, обагрённый кровью, и имя Его – Слово Аллаха[i]. 14 За Ним следует небесное войско, всадники на белых конях, одетые в тончайшую льняную одежду, чистую и белую. 15 Из Его рта выходит острый меч,[j] чтобы поражать им народы. Он правит железным скипетром и топчет в давильне виноград, готовя вино ярости и гнева Бога Сил.[k] 16 На Его плаще и бедре написано имя:

ЦАРЬ ЦАРЕЙ И ВЛАДЫКА ВЛАДЫК.

17 И я увидел ангела, стоящего на солнце. Он громко крикнул всем птицам, летающим посреди неба:

– Сюда! Собирайтесь на великий пир Аллаха! 18 Вы будете есть тела царей, военачальников, могущественных людей, тела коней и их всадников, тела всех людей, свободных и рабов, малых и великих.[l]

19 Затем я увидел зверя и царей земли с их войсками. Они собирались на битву со Всадником на коне и с Его армией. 20 И схвачен был зверь и вместе с ним лжепророк, который сотворил от имени зверя знамения и обманул тех, кто получил клеймо зверя и поклонялся его изображению. И тот и другой были брошены заживо в огненное озеро, горящее серой.[m] 21 Остальные были убиты мечом, выходящим изо рта всадника на коне, и все птицы досыта наелись их трупами.

19 After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah: the salvation and the glory and the power of our God:

for true and righteous [are] his judgments; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her hand.

And a second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up to the ages of ages.

And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah.

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

And I heard as a voice of a great crowd, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah, for [the] Lord our God the Almighty has taken to himself kingly power.

Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.

And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright [and] pure; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.

And he says to me, Write, Blessed [are] they who are called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true words of God.

10 And I fell before his feet to do him homage. And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God. For the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

11 And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and one sitting on it, [called] Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness.

12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head many diadems, having a name written which no one knows but himself;

13 and [he is] clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which [are] in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen.

15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp [two-edged] sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

16 And he has upon his garment, and upon 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, gather yourselves to the great supper of God,

18 that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiliarchs, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses and of those that sit upon them, and flesh of all, 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 the false prophet that [was] with him, who wrought the signs before him by which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and those that worship his image. Alive were both cast into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone;

21 and the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which goes out of his mouth; and all the birds 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.
