启示录 19
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
19 这些事以后，我听见天上好象有一大群人大声说：
“哈利路亚！
救恩、荣耀、权能都属于我们的 神，
2 因为他的审判是真实公义的。
他审判了那大淫妇，
那以淫乱败坏了世界的；
并且为他的仆人向淫妇伸了流血的冤。”
3 他们再一次说：
“哈利路亚！
烧淫妇的烟往上冒，
直到永永远远！”
4 那二十四位长老和四个活物，就俯伏敬拜那坐在宝座上的 神，说：
“阿们！哈利路亚！”
羊羔的婚筵
5 接着有声音从宝座发出来，说：
“所有 神的仆人哪！
凡是敬畏他的，
无论大小，
你们都应当赞美我们的 神！”
6 我又听见一个声音，好象一大群人的声音，像众水的声音，又像大雷的声音，说：
“哈利路亚！
因为主、我们全能的 神作王了！
7 我们要欢喜快乐，
把荣耀归给他！
因为羊羔的婚期到了；
他的新娘也自己预备好了。
8 并且有光洁的细麻衣，
赐给她穿上；
这细麻衣就是圣徒的义行。”
9 天使对我说：“你要写下来：‘被邀请赴羊羔婚筵的人有福了！’”他又对我说：“这都是 神真实的话。” 10 我就俯伏在天使脚前要拜他。但他对我说：“千万不可以这样！我和你，以及你那些为耶稣作见证的弟兄，都是同作仆人的。你应当敬拜 神！因为预言的精义，就是耶稣的见证。”
骑白马的基督
11 我观看，见天开了。有一匹白马，那骑马的称为“忠信”和“真实”；他按着公义审判和作战。 12 他的眼睛好象火焰，头上戴着许多皇冠，他身上写着一个名字，这名字除了他自己没有人认识。 13 他身穿一件浸过血的衣服，他的名字称为“ 神的道”。 14 天上的众军，都骑着白马，穿著洁白的细麻衣，跟随着他。 15 有一把利剑从他口中吐出来，他要用这剑击打列国，他必用铁杖治理他们；并且还要踹全能 神烈怒的压酒池。 16 在他的衣服和大腿上，写着“万王之王，万主之主”的名号。
17 我又看见一位天使站在太阳中，向高空所有的飞鸟大声呼喊说：“你们来吧！齐集起来赴 神的大筵席！ 18 可以吃君王的肉、将领的肉、壮士的肉，马和骑士的肉，以及自由的、作奴隶的、大的、小的，所有人的肉。” 19 我看见那兽和地上的众王，以及他们的众军，都集合起来，要跟那骑白马的和他的众军作战。 20 那兽被捉住了；连同在兽面前用奇事迷惑人，使他们接受兽的记号，并且拜兽像的那假先知，也一起被捉住了。他们两个就活活地被拋在烧着硫磺的火湖里去。 21 其余的人都被那位骑白马的口中所吐出来的剑杀了。所有飞鸟都吃饱了他们的肉。
Revelation 19
1599 Geneva Bible
19 1 The heavenly company praise God for avenging the blood of his servants on the whore. 9 They are written blessed, that are called to the Lamb’s supper. 10 The Angel will not be worshipped. 11 That mighty King of Kings appeareth from heaven. 19 The battle, 20 wherein the beast is taken, and cast into the burning lake.
1 And [a]after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, [b][c]Hallelujah, salvation, and glory, and honor, and power be to the Lord our God.
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath condemned the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants shed by her hand.
3 And again they said, [d]Hallelujah: and that her smoke rose up for evermore.
4 And the four and twenty Elders, and the four beasts fell down, and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah.
5 [e]Then a voice came out of the [f]throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard [g]like a voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of strong thunderings, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord that God that Almighty one hath reigned.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made [h]herself ready.
8 And to her was granted, that she should be arrayed with [i]pure fine linen and shining, for the fine [j]linen is the [k]righteousness of Saints.
9 [l]Then he said unto me, Write, (A)Blessed are they which are called unto the Lamb’s supper. And he said unto me, These words of God are true.
10 [m]And I fell before his feet, (B)to worship him, but he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and one of thy brethren, which have the [n]testimony of Jesus, Worship God: for the testimony of [o]Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.
11 [p]And I saw [q]heaven open, and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and he judgeth and fighteth righteously.
12 And 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 himself.
13 And he was clothed with a garment dipped in blood, and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.
14 [r]And the hosts which were in heaven, followed him upon white horses, clothed with fine linen white and pure.
15 [s]And out of his mouth went out a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen: for he shall (C)rule them with a rod of iron, for he it is that treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 [t]And he hath upon his garment, and upon his thigh, a name written, (D)THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 [u]And I saw an Angel stand in the [v]sun who cried with a loud voice, saying, to all the fowls that did fly by [w]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 high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all freemen, and bondmen, and of small and great.
19 [x]And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their hosts gathered together to make battle against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 But the beast [y]was taken, and with him [z]that false Prophet that wrought miracles before him, whereby he deceived them that received the beast’s mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were alive cast into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sitteth upon the horse, which cometh out of his mouth, and all the fowls were filled full with their flesh.
Footnotes
- Revelation 19:1 This chapter hath in sum two parts, one transitory or of passage unto the things that follow unto verse 10, another historical of the victory of Christ gotten against both the beasts unto the end of the chapter, which I said was the second history of this argument, Rev. 17:1. The transition hath two places, one of praising God for the overthrow done unto Babylon in 4 verses, and another likewise of praise, and Prophetical, for the coming of Christ unto his kingdom, and his most royal marriage with his Church, thence unto the tenth verse. The former praise has three branches, distinguished after the ancient manner of those that sing: … , that is, an invitation or provokement in 2 verses, … , a response or answer in the third verse, and … , a close or joining together in harmony: all which I thought good of purpose to distinguish in this place, lest any man should with Porphyrius, or other like dogs, object to Saint John of the heavenly Church, a childish and idle repetition of speech.
- Revelation 19:1 Praise the Lord.
- Revelation 19:1 The proposition of praise with exhortation in this verse, and the cause thereof, in the next verse.
- Revelation 19:3 The song of the Antiphony or response, containing an amplification of the praise of God, from the perpetual and most certain testimony of his divine judgment as was done at Sodom and Gomorrah, Gen. 19.
- Revelation 19:5 The second place of praise as I said verse 1, which first is commanded from God in this verse: and then is in most ample manner pronounced of the creatures, both because they see that kingdom of Christ to come, which most they desire, verse 6, also because they see that the Church is called forth to be brought home: into the house of her husband by holy marriage unto the fellowship of his kingdom, verses 7, 8. Wherefore S. John is commanded to write in a book the Epiphonema , or acclamation joined with a divine testimony, verse 9.
- Revelation 19:5 Out of the temple from God, as Rev. 11:19.
- Revelation 19:6 Without the Temple in heaven.
- Revelation 19:7 Namely unto that holy marriage both herself in person in this verse and also furnished of her spouse with marriage gifts princely and divine is adorned and prepared in the next verse.
- Revelation 19:8 As an ensign of Kingly and priestly dignity: which dignity Christ bestoweth upon us, Rev. 1:6.
- Revelation 19:8 This is a gift given by the husband for marriage sake and a most choice ornament, which Christ bestoweth upon us, as upon his spouse.
- Revelation 19:8 Good works which are lively testimonies of faith.
- Revelation 19:9 Namely the Angel, as appeareth by the next verse.
- Revelation 19:10 The particular history of this verse is brought in by occasion, and as it were besides the purpose, that Saint John might make a public example of his own infirmity, and of the modest sanctimony of the Angel, who hath renounced for himself the divine honors, and recalled all the servants of God, unto the worship of him alone: as also Rev. 22:8.
- Revelation 19:10 Which are commanded to bear witness of Jesus.
- Revelation 19:10 For Jesus is the mark that all the prophecies shoot at.
- Revelation 19:11 The second place of this Chapter (as I said verse 1) is of the victory gotten by Christ against both the beasts: in which first Christ is described as one ready to fight, unto verse 16, then is showed the battle to be begun, thence unto verse 18: lastly is set forth the victory unto the end of the Chapter. In this place do shine most excellent properties of Christ as our heavenly Judge and revenger, according to his person, company, effects, and names.
- Revelation 19:11 Properties belonging to his person, that he is heavenly, judge, faithful, true, just, in this verse, searching out all things ruling over all, to be searched out of none, verse 12, the trumpet, and the very essential word of God, verse 13.
- Revelation 19:14 The company or retinue of Christ, holy, innumerable, heavenly, judicial, royal and pure.
- Revelation 19:15 The effects of Christ prepared unto battle, that with his mouth he striketh the Gentiles, ruleth and destroyeth.
- Revelation 19:16 The name agreeing unto Christ according to the former properties, expressed after the manner of the Hebrews.
- Revelation 19:17 The second member as I said, verse 11. A reproachful calling forth of his enemies unto battle: in which not themselves (for why should they be called forth of the king of the world, or provoked being his subjects? for that is not comely) but in their hearing, the birds of the air are called to eat their carcasses.
- Revelation 19:17 That is, openly, and in sight of all, as Num. 25:4 and 2 Sam. 12:11.
- Revelation 19:17 That is, through this inferior heaven, and which is nearer unto us: a Hebrew phrase.
- Revelation 19:19 The third member (as was said, verse 11) of the victory obtained by Christ. Unto this apppertaineth two things: his bucking with the beast and his forces in this verse: and the event most magnificent, described after the manner of men, in the verses following. All these things are plain.
- Revelation 19:20 Namely, that beast with seven heads, of which before, Rev. 13:1 and 17:3.
- Revelation 19:20 That is, that beast with two heads, of which Rev. 13:11. See also Rev. 16:14.
