Revelation, 19

1. 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:

1. After this I heard what sounded like the loud singing of a great assembly in heaven: Alleluia! Salvation, glory and might belong to our God,

2. 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.

2. for his judgments are true and just. He has condemned the great harlot who corrupted the world with her adultery. He has avenged his servants' blood shed by her hand in harlotry.

3. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

3. Once more they sang: Alleluia! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever!

4. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

4. The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God seated on the throne. And they cried: Amen! Alleluia!

5. 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.

5. A voice came from the throne: "Praise our God, all you his servants, all you who revere him, both small and great!"

6. 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.

6. Then I heard what sounded like a great crowd, like the roaring of the waves, like peals of thunder, answering: Alleluia! The Lord now reigns, our Lord, the Master of the universe!

7. 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.

7. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! This is the time to celebrate the wedding of the Lamb, his bride has made herself ready.

8. 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.

8. Fine linen, bright and clean, is given her to wear. This linen stands for the good works of the holy ones.

9. 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.

9. Then the angel told me, "Write: Happy are those invited to the wedding of the Lamb." And he went on, "These are true words 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.

10. As I fell down at his feet to worship him, he said to me, "Beware, I am but a servant like you and your brothers who utter the testimonies of Jesus (these testimonies of Jesus are proclaimed through the spirit of the prophets). Worship God alone."

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.

11. Then I saw heaven opened and a white horse appeared. Its rider is the Faithful and True; he judges and wages just wars.

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.

12. His eyes are flames of fire; he wears many crowns and written on him is his own name, which no one can understand except himself.

13. And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

13. He is clothed in a cloak drenched in blood. His name is the Word of God.

14. And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

14. The armies of heaven clothed in pure white linen follow him on white horses.

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.

15. A sharp sword comes out of his mouth. With it he will strike the nations for he must rule them with an iron rod. He treads the winepress of the burning wrath of God, the Master of the universe.

16. And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

16. This is why this title is written on his cloak and on his thigh: 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;

17. I also saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried out with a loud voice to all the birds of the air, "Come here to the great feast of 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.

18. Come and eat the flesh of kings, of generals and of the mighty; come and devour the soldier and his horse, flesh of all, both free and slaves, 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.

19. Then I saw the beast with the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to fight against him who rides on the horse and 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.

20. But the beast was captured with the false prophet who served it and performed signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its statue. The two were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, and all

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.

21. the rest were killed by the sword which comes from the mouth of the rider who mounts the horse. And all the birds were fed with their flesh.
