1. After this I heard what sounded like a large crowd of people in heaven. The people were saying, "Hallelujah! Victory, glory, and power belong to our God.
|
1. And G2532 after G3326 these things G5023 I heard G191 a great G3173 voice G5456 of much G4183 people G3793 in G1722 heaven G3772 , saying G3004 , Alleluia G239 ; Salvation G4991 , and G2532 glory G1391 , and G2532 honor G5092 , and G2532 power G1411 , unto the Lord G2962 our G2257 God G2316 :
|
|
2. His judgments are true and right. Our God has punished the prostitute. She is the one who ruined the earth with her sexual sin. God has punished the prostitute to pay her back for the death of his servants."
|
2. For G3754 true G228 and G2532 righteous G1342 are his G848 judgments G2920 : for G3754 he hath judged G2919 the G3588 great G3173 whore G4204 , which G3748 did corrupt G5351 the G3588 earth G1093 with G1722 her G848 fornication G4202 , and G2532 hath avenged G1556 the G3588 blood G129 of his G848 servants G1401 at G1537 her G848 hand G5495 .
|
|
3. These people also said, "Hallelujah! She is burning and her smoke will rise forever and ever."
|
3. And G2532 again G1208 they said G2046 , Alleluia G239 . And G2532 her G848 smoke G2586 rose up G305 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 .
|
|
4. Then the 24 elders and the four living beings bowed down. They worshiped God, who sits on the throne. They said, "Amen! Hallelujah!"
|
4. And G2532 the G3588 four and twenty G5064 G2532 G1501 elders G4245 and G2532 the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 fell down G4098 and G2532 worshiped G4352 God G2316 that sat G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 , saying G3004 , Amen G281 ; Alleluia G239 .
|
|
5. Then a voice came from the throne and said, "Praise our God, all you who serve him! Praise our God, all you small and great who honor him!"
|
5. And G2532 a voice G5456 came G1831 out of G1537 the G3588 throne G2362 , saying G3004 , Praise G134 our G2257 God G2316 , all G3956 ye his G848 servants G1401 , and G2532 ye that fear G5399 him G846 , both G2532 small G3398 and G2532 great G3173 .
|
|
6. Then I heard something that sounded like a large crowd of people. It was as loud as crashing waves or claps of thunder. The people were saying, "Hallelujah! Our Lord God rules. He is the All-Powerful.
|
6. And G2532 I heard G191 as it were G5613 the voice G5456 of a great G4183 multitude G3793 , and G2532 as G5613 the voice G5456 of many G4183 waters G5204 , and G2532 as G5613 the voice G5456 of mighty G2478 thunderings G1027 , saying G3004 , Alleluia G239 : for G3754 the Lord G2962 God G2316 omnipotent G3841 reigneth G936 .
|
|
7. Let us rejoice and be happy and give God glory! Give God glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come. And the Lamb's bride has made herself ready.
|
7. Let us be glad G5463 and G2532 rejoice G21 , and G2532 give G1325 honor G1391 to him G846 : for G3754 the G3588 marriage G1062 of the G3588 Lamb G721 is come G2064 , and G2532 his G848 wife G1135 hath made herself ready G2090 G1438 .
|
|
8. Fine linen was given to the bride for her to wear. The linen was bright and clean." (The fine linen means the good things that God's holy people did.)
|
8. And G2532 to her G846 was granted G1325 that G2443 she should be arrayed G4016 in fine linen G1039 , clean G2513 and G2532 white G2986 : for G1063 the G3588 fine linen G1039 is G2076 the G3588 righteousness G1345 of saints G40 .
|
|
9. Then the angel said to me, "Write this: What a great blessing there is for those who are invited to the wedding meal of the Lamb!" Then the angel said, "These are the true words of God."
|
9. And G2532 he saith G3004 unto me G3427 , Write G1125 , Blessed G3107 are they which are called G2564 unto G1519 the G3588 marriage G1062 supper G1173 of the G3588 Lamb G721 . And G2532 he saith G3004 unto me G3427 , These G3778 are G1526 the G3588 true G228 sayings G3056 of God G2316 .
|
|
10. Then I bowed down before the angel's feet to worship him. But the angel said to me, "Don't worship me! I am a servant like you and your brothers and sisters who have the truth of Jesus. So worship God! Because the truth of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. "
|
10. And G2532 I fell G4098 at G1715 his G848 feet G4228 to worship G4352 him G846 . And G2532 he said G3004 unto me G3427 , See G3708 thou do it not G3361 : I am G1510 thy G4675 fellow servant G4889 , and G2532 of thy G4675 brethren G80 that have G2192 the G3588 testimony G3141 of Jesus G2424 : worship G4352 God G2316 : for G1063 the G3588 testimony G3141 of Jesus G2424 is the G3588 spirit G4151 of prophecy G4394 .
|
|
11. Then I saw heaven open. There before me was a white horse. The rider on the horse was called Faithful and True, because he is right in his judging and in making war.
|
11. And G2532 I saw G1492 heaven G3772 opened G455 , and G2532 behold G2400 a white G3022 horse G2462 ; and G2532 he that sat G2521 upon G1909 him G846 was called G2564 Faithful G4103 and G2532 True G228 , and G2532 in G1722 righteousness G1343 he doth judge G2919 and G2532 make war G4170 .
|
|
12. His eyes were like burning fire. He had many crowns on his head. A name was written on him, but he was the only one who knew its meaning.
|
12. G1161 His G848 eyes G3788 were as G5613 a flame G5395 of fire G4442 , and G2532 on G1909 his G848 head G2776 were many G4183 crowns G1238 ; and he had G2192 a name G3686 written G1125 , that G3739 no man G3762 knew G1492 , but G1508 he himself G848 .
|
|
13. He was dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and he was called the Word of God.
|
13. And G2532 he was clothed with G4016 a vesture G2440 dipped G911 in blood G129 : and G2532 his G848 name G3686 is called G2564 The G3588 Word G3056 of God G2316 .
|
|
14. The armies of heaven were following the rider on the white horse. They were also riding white horses. They were dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
|
14. And G2532 the G3588 armies G4753 which were in G1722 heaven G3772 followed G190 him G846 upon G1909 white G3022 horses G2462 , clothed in G1746 fine linen G1039 , white G3022 and G2532 clean G2513 .
|
|
15. A sharp sword came out of the rider's mouth, a sword that he would use to defeat the nations. And he will rule the nations with a rod of iron. He will crush the grapes in the winepress of the terrible anger of God the All-Powerful.
|
15. And G2532 out of G1537 his G848 mouth G4750 goeth G1607 a sharp G3691 sword G4501 , that G2443 with G1722 it G846 he should smite G3960 the G3588 nations G1484 : and G2532 he G846 shall rule G4165 them G846 with G1722 a rod G4464 of iron G4603 : and G2532 he G846 treadeth G3961 the G3588 winepress G3025 G3631 of the G3588 fierceness G2372 and G2532 wrath G3709 of Almighty G3841 God G2316 .
|
|
16. On his robe and on his leg was written this name: king of kings and lord of lords
|
16. And G2532 he hath G2192 on G1909 his vesture G2440 and G2532 on G1909 his G848 thigh G3382 a name G3686 written G1125 , KING G935 OF KINGS G935 , AND G2532 LORD G2962 OF LORDS G2962 .
|
|
17. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun. In a loud voice the angel said to all the birds flying in the sky, "Come together for the great supper of God.
|
17. And G2532 I saw G1492 an G1520 angel G32 standing G2476 in G1722 the G3588 sun G2246 ; and G2532 he cried G2896 with a loud G3173 voice G5456 , saying G3004 to all G3956 the G3588 fowls G3732 that fly G4072 in G1722 the midst of heaven G3321 , Come G1205 and G2532 gather yourselves together G4863 unto G1519 the G3588 supper G1173 of the G3588 great G3173 God G2316 ;
|
|
18. Come together so that you can eat the bodies of rulers and army commanders and famous men. Come to eat the bodies of the horses and their riders and the bodies of all people�free, slave, small, and great."
|
18. That G2443 ye may eat G5315 the flesh G4561 of kings G935 , and G2532 the flesh G4561 of captains G5506 , and G2532 the flesh G4561 of mighty men G2478 , and G2532 the flesh G4561 of horses G2462 , and G2532 of them that sit G2521 on G1909 them G846 , and G2532 the flesh G4561 of all G3956 men, both free G1658 and G2532 bond G1401 , both G2532 small G3398 and G2532 great G3173 .
|
|
19. Then I saw the beast and the rulers of the earth. Their armies were gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
|
19. And G2532 I saw G1492 the G3588 beast G2342 , and G2532 the G3588 kings G935 of the G3588 earth G1093 , and G2532 their G848 armies G4753 , gathered together G4863 to make G4160 war G4171 against G3326 him that sat G2521 on G1909 the G3588 horse G2462 , and G2532 against G3326 his G848 army G4753 .
|
|
20. But the beast was captured, and the false prophet was also captured. He was the one who did the miracles for the beast. He had used these miracles to trick those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its idol. The false prophet and the beast were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
|
20. And G2532 the G3588 beast G2342 was taken G4084 , and G2532 with G3326 him G5127 the G3588 false prophet G5578 that wrought G4160 miracles G4592 before G1799 him G846 , with G1722 which G3739 he deceived G4105 them that had received G2983 the G3588 mark G5480 of the G3588 beast G2342 , and G2532 them that worshiped G4352 his G848 image G1504 . These both G1417 were cast G906 alive G2198 into G1519 a lake G3041 of fire G4442 burning G2545 with G1722 brimstone G2303 .
|
|
21. Their armies were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse. All the birds ate these bodies until they were full.
|
21. And G2532 the G3588 remnant G3062 were slain G615 with G1722 the G3588 sword G4501 of him that sat G2521 upon G1909 the G3588 horse G2462 , which sword proceeded G1607 out of G1537 his G848 mouth G4750 : and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 fowls G3732 were filled G5526 with G1537 their G848 flesh G4561 .
