1. After this I heard what sounded like the voices of many people in heaven, saying, "Thanks to our God, the One Who saves. Honor and power belong to Him.
|
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. For the way He punishes people is right and true. He has punished the powerful woman who sold the use of her body. She was making the earth sinful with her sex sins. She killed those who worked for God. He has punished her for it."
|
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. Again they said, "Thanks to our God. The smoke from her burning goes up forever."
|
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. The twenty-four leaders and the four living beings got down and worshiped God Who was sitting on the throne. They said, "Let it be so. Thanks to our God!"
|
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. A voice came from the throne, saying, "Give thanks to our God, you servants who are owned by Him. Give thanks to our God, you who honor Him with love and fear, both small and great."
|
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 what sounded like the voices of many people. It was like the sound of powerful rushing water. And it was like loud thunder. It said, "Thanks to our God. For the Lord our God is King. He is the All-powerful One.
|
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 be full of joy and be glad. Let us honor Him, for the time has come for the wedding supper of the Lamb. His 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. She was given clean, white, fine linen clothes to wear. The fine linen is the right living of God's people."
|
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. The angel said to me, "Write this: 'Those who are asked to the wedding supper of the Lamb are happy.' " And he 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 fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "No! Do not worship me. I am a servant together with you and your Christian brothers who tell of their trust in Christ. Worship God. For those who speak for Jesus are led in what to say as the early preachers were led."
|
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 opened. A white horse was standing there. The One Who was sitting on the horse is called Faithful and True. He is the One Who punishes in the right way. He makes 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 are a flame of fire. He has many crowns on His head. His name is written on Him but He is the only One Who knows what it says.
|
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. The coat He wears has been put in blood. His name is 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 in heaven were dressed in clean, white, fine linen. They were following Him on white horses.
|
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. Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword to punish the nations. He will be the Leader over them using a piece of iron. He walks on the grapes where wine is made, pressing out the anger of God, the All-powerful One.
|
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 coat and on His leg is the name written, "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. He cried out with a loud voice to all the birds flying in the sky, "Come and gather 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 and eat the flesh of kings and of captains of soldiers and of strong men and of the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them. Come and eat the flesh of all men, small and great. Some are free and some are not free."
|
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 wild animal and the kings of the earth and their armies gather together. They were ready to fight against the One Who is sitting on the white horse and against 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. The wild animal was taken. The false preacher was taken with it. It was the false preacher who had done powerful works in front of the wild animal. In this way, he fooled those who had received the mark of the wild animal and those who worshiped his false god. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.
|
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. The rest were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the One Who sat on the horse. All the birds were filled by eating the flesh of these who were killed.
|
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 .
