Revelation 19
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
19 After this I heard what sounded like a mighty shout of a great crowd in heaven, exclaiming, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! Salvation and glory (splendor and majesty) and power (dominion and authority) [belong] to our God!
2 Because His judgments (His condemnation and punishment, His sentences of doom) are true and sound and just and upright. He has judged (convicted, pronounced sentence, and doomed) the great and notorious harlot (idolatress) who corrupted and demoralized and poisoned the earth with her lewdness and adultery (idolatry). And He has avenged (visited on her the penalty for) the blood of His servants at her hand.(A)
3 And again they shouted, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! The smoke of her [burning] shall continue to ascend forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities).(B)
4 Then the twenty-four elders [of [a]the heavenly Sanhedrin] and the four living creatures fell prostrate and worshiped [paying divine honors to] God, Who sits on the throne, saying, Amen! Hallelujah (praise the Lord)!
5 Then from the throne there came a voice, saying, Praise our God, all you servants of His, you who reverence Him, both small and great!(C)
6 After that I heard what sounded like the shout of a vast throng, like the boom of many pounding waves, and like the roar of terrific and mighty peals of thunder, exclaiming, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! For now the Lord our God the Omnipotent (the All-Ruler) reigns!
7 Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself.(D)
8 She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white—for the fine linen is (signifies, represents) the righteousness (the upright, just, and godly living, deeds, and conduct, and right standing with God) of the saints (God’s holy people).
9 Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, [b]to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God.
10 Then I fell prostrate at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he [restrained me] and said, Refrain! [You must not do that!] I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God! For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours].
11 After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness).(E)
12 His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand.(F)
13 He is dressed in a robe dyed by [c]dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God.
14 And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent).(G)
16 And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, king of kings and lord of lords.(H)
17 Then I saw a single angel stationed in the sun’s [d]light, and with a mighty voice he shouted to all the birds that fly across the sky, Come, gather yourselves together for the great supper of God,(I)
18 That you may feast on the flesh of rulers, the flesh of generals and captains, the flesh of powerful and mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all humanity, both free and slave, both small and great!
19 Then I saw the beast and the rulers and leaders of the earth with their troops mustered to go into battle and make war against Him Who is mounted on the horse and against His troops.
20 And the beast was seized and overpowered, and with him the false prophet who in his presence had worked wonders and performed miracles by which he led astray those who had accepted or permitted to be placed upon them the stamp (mark) of the beast and those who paid homage and gave divine honors to his statue. Both of them were hurled alive into the fiery lake that burns and blazes with brimstone.
21 And the rest were killed with the sword that issues from the mouth of Him Who is mounted on the horse, and all the birds fed ravenously and glutted themselves with their flesh.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Celebration in Heaven
19 After this I heard something like the loud voice of a vast multitude in heaven, saying:
Hallelujah!(A)
Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God,
2 because His judgments are true[a] and righteous,(B)
because He has judged the notorious prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;
and He has avenged the blood of His slaves
that was on her hands.(C)
3 A second time they said:
Hallelujah!
Her smoke ascends forever and ever!(D)
4 Then the 24 elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God,(E) who is seated on the throne, saying:
Amen! Hallelujah!(F)
5 A voice came from the throne, saying:
Praise our God,
all His slaves, who fear Him,
both small and great!(G)
Marriage of the Lamb Announced
6 Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters,(H) and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying:
Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty,
has begun to reign!
7 Let us be glad, rejoice, and give Him glory,(I)
because the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and His wife has prepared herself.
8 She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure.(J)
For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.(K)
9 Then he[b] said to me,(L) “Write: Those invited to the marriage feast(M) of the Lamb are fortunate!” He also said to me, “These words of God are true.” 10 Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow slave with you and your brothers who have the testimony about[c] Jesus.(N) Worship God, because the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”[d]
The Rider on a White Horse
11 Then I saw heaven opened,(O) and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True,(P) and He judges and makes war in righteousness.(Q) 12 His eyes were like a fiery flame, and many crowns[e] were on His head. He had a name written that no one knows except Himself.(R) 13 He wore a robe stained with blood,[f](S) and His name is the Word of God.(T) 14 The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. 15 A sharp[g] sword(U) came from His mouth, so that He might strike the nations with it.(V) He will shepherd[h] them with an iron scepter.(W) He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God,(X) the Almighty. 16 And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh:
KING OF KINGS
AND LORD OF LORDS.(Y)
The Beast and His Armies Defeated
17 Then I saw an angel standing on[i] the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying high overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.”(Z)
19 Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies(AA) gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and against His army. 20 But the beast was taken prisoner, and along with him the false prophet, who had performed the signs in his presence. He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image with these signs.(AB) Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.(AC) 21 The rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

New King James Version
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! 2 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.” 3 Again they said, “Alleluia! (E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 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!” 5 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!”
6 (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! 7 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.” 8 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.
9 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.

Nova Traduҫão na Linguagem de Hoje 2000
19 Depois disso ouvi no céu uma voz forte como se fosse a de uma grande multidão, que dizia:
— Aleluia! A salvação, a glória e o poder pertencem ao nosso Deus! 2 Os seus julgamentos são verdadeiros e justos. Ele condenou a famosa prostituta que corrompia a terra com a sua imoralidade. Deus a castigou porque ela havia matado os servos dele.
3 E a multidão disse outra vez:
— Aleluia! A fumaça do incêndio da grande cidade sobe para todo o sempre.
4 Então os vinte e quatro líderes e os quatro seres vivos caíram de joelhos e adoraram a Deus, que estava sentado no trono, e disseram:
— Amém! Aleluia!
A festa de casamento do Cordeiro
5 Então veio do trono o som de uma voz, que dizia:
— Louvem o nosso Deus, todos os seus servos, todos os que o temem, tanto as pessoas importantes como as humildes!
6 Aí ouvi um som que parecia a voz de uma grande multidão, como o barulho de uma grande cachoeira ou como fortes trovões, que dizia:
— Aleluia! Pois o Senhor, nosso Deus, o Todo-Poderoso, é Rei! 7 Fiquemos alegres e felizes! Louvemos a sua glória! Porque chegou a hora da festa de casamento do Cordeiro, e a noiva já se preparou para recebê-lo. 8 A ela foi dado linho finíssimo, linho brilhante e puro para se vestir.
O linho são as boas ações do povo de Deus.
9 Então o anjo me disse:
— Escreva isto: “Felizes os que foram convidados para a festa de casamento do Cordeiro!”
E o anjo disse ainda:
— São essas as verdadeiras palavras de Deus.
10 Aí eu me ajoelhei aos pés do anjo para adorá-lo, mas ele me disse:
— Não faça isso! Pois eu sou servo de Deus, assim como são você e os seus irmãos que continuam fiéis à verdade revelada por Jesus. Adore a Deus!
Pois a verdade revelada por Jesus é a mensagem que o Espírito entrega aos profetas.
O cavaleiro montado no cavalo branco
11 Em seguida vi o céu aberto, e apareceu um cavalo branco. O seu cavaleiro se chama Fiel e Verdadeiro. Ele julga e combate com justiça. 12 Os seus olhos eram como chamas de fogo, e ele tinha muitas coroas na cabeça. Havia escrito nele um nome que ninguém conhece, a não ser ele mesmo. 13 A sua capa estava encharcada de sangue. Ele se chama “A Palavra de Deus”. 14 Os exércitos do céu o seguiam, montados em cavalos brancos e vestidos de linho branco e puro. 15 Da sua boca saía uma espada afiada, com a qual ele vencerá as nações. Ele as governará com uma barra de ferro e pisará as uvas no tanque do furor da ira do Deus Todo-Poderoso. 16 Na capa e na perna dele estava escrito este nome: “Rei dos reis e Senhor dos senhores.”
17 Então vi um anjo que estava de pé sobre o sol. Ele gritou com voz forte, dizendo o seguinte para todas as aves que estavam voando bem alto:
— Venham e se ajuntem para o grande banquete de Deus! 18 Venham e comam a carne de reis, de generais e de soldados, de cavalos e de cavaleiros e de todas as pessoas, sejam escravas ou livres, sejam importantes ou humildes.
19 Depois vi o monstro e os reis do mundo inteiro e os seus exércitos reunidos para lutar contra aquele que estava montado no cavalo e contra o seu exército. 20 O monstro foi feito prisioneiro junto com o falso profeta, que havia feito coisas espantosas na sua presença. Com aquelas coisas ele havia enganado os que tinham o sinal do monstro e os que haviam adorado a imagem do monstro. O monstro e o falso profeta foram jogados vivos no lago de fogo que queima com enxofre. 21 Os seus exércitos foram mortos pela espada que saía da boca daquele que estava montado no cavalo branco. E todas as aves comeram da carne deles até não quererem mais.
