¡Aleluya!

19 Después de esto oí en el cielo un tremendo bullicio, como el de una inmensa multitud que exclamaba:

«¡Aleluya!
La salvación, la gloria y el poder son de nuestro Dios,
    pues sus juicios son verdaderos y justos:
ha condenado a la gran prostituta
    que con sus adulterios corrompía la tierra;
ha vindicado la sangre de los siervos de Dios derramada por ella».

Y volvieron a exclamar:

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

Entonces los veinticuatro ancianos y los cuatro seres vivientes se postraron y adoraron a Dios, que estaba sentado en el trono, y dijeron:

«¡Amén, Aleluya!».

Y del trono salió una voz que decía:

«¡Alaben ustedes a nuestro Dios,
    todos sus siervos, grandes y pequeños,
    quienes con reverente temor le sirven!».

Después oí voces como el rumor de una inmensa multitud, como el ruido de muchas aguas y como el retumbar de potentes truenos, que exclamaban:

«¡Aleluya!
Ya ha comenzado a reinar el Señor,
    nuestro Dios Todopoderoso.
¡Alegrémonos y regocijémonos
    y démosle gloria!
Ya ha llegado el día de las bodas del Cordero.
    Su novia se ha preparado
y se le ha concedido vestirse
    de tela de lino fino, limpio y resplandeciente».

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

El ángel me dijo: «Escribe: “¡Dichosos los que han sido convidados a la cena de las bodas del Cordero!”». Y añadió: «Estas son las palabras verdaderas de Dios».

10 Me postré a sus pies para adorarlo. Pero él me dijo: «¡No, cuidado! Soy un siervo como tú y como tus hermanos que se mantienen fieles al testimonio de Jesús. ¡Adora solo a Dios! El testimonio de Jesús es el espíritu que inspira la profecía».

El jinete del caballo blanco

11 Luego vi el cielo abierto y apareció un caballo blanco. Su jinete se llama Fiel y Verdadero. Con justicia dicta sentencia y hace la guerra. 12 Sus ojos resplandecen como llamas de fuego y muchas diademas ciñen su cabeza. Lleva escrito un nombre que nadie conoce sino solo él. 13 Está vestido de un manto teñido en sangre y su nombre es «el Verbo de Dios». 14 Lo siguen los ejércitos del cielo, montados en caballos blancos y vestidos de tela de lino fino, blanco y limpio. 15 De su boca sale una espada afilada, con la que herirá a las naciones. «Las gobernará con cetro de hierro».[a] Él mismo exprime uvas en el lagar para sacar el vino del furor del castigo que viene de Dios Todopoderoso. 16 En su manto y sobre el muslo lleva escrito este nombre:

rey de reyes y señor de señores.

17 Vi a un ángel que, parado sobre el sol, gritaba a todas las aves que vuelan en medio del cielo: «Vengan, reúnanse para la gran cena de Dios, 18 para que coman carne de reyes, de jefes militares y de magnates; carne de caballos y de sus jinetes; carne de toda clase de gente, libres y esclavos, grandes y pequeños».

19 Entonces vi a la bestia y a los reyes de la tierra con sus ejércitos, reunidos para hacer guerra contra el jinete de aquel caballo y contra su ejército. 20 Pero la bestia fue capturada junto con el falso profeta. Este es el que hacía señales en presencia de ella, con las cuales engañaba a los que habían recibido la marca de la bestia y adoraban su imagen. Los dos fueron arrojados vivos al lago de fuego y azufre. 21 Los demás fueron muertos por medio de la espada que salía de la boca del que montaba a caballo. Todas las aves se saciaron devorando la carne de ellos.

  1. 19:15 Sal 2:9.

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.

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.

Heaven Exults over Babylon

19 After these things (A)I [a]heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! (B)Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to [b]the Lord our God! For (C)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He (D)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia! (E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” And (F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, (G)“Amen! Alleluia!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying, (H)“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, (I)both[c] small and great!”

(J)And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For (K)the[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for (L)the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And (M)to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, (N)for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write: (O)‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, (P)“These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And (Q)I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, (R)“See that you do not do that! I am your (S)fellow servant, and of your brethren (T)who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the (U)testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Christ on a White Horse

11 (V)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (W)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (X)Faithful and True, and (Y)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (Z)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (AA)He [e]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (AB)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (AC)The Word of God. 14 (AD)And the armies in heaven, (AE)clothed in [f]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now (AF)out of His mouth goes a [g]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And (AG)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. (AH)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And (AI)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

(AJ)KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

The Beast and His Armies Defeated

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, (AK)“Come and gather together for the [h]supper of the great God, 18 (AL)that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, [i]free and slave, both small and great.”

19 (AM)And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 (AN)Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and (AO)those who worshiped his image. (AP)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire (AQ)burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest (AR)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. (AS)And all the birds (AT)were filled with their flesh.
