Ἁλληλούϊα·

καὶ
δεύτερον
εἴρηκαν,ἡ σωτηρίᾳ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ ἡ δύναμις τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν, 2 ὅτι ἀληθιναὶ καὶ δίκαιαι αἱ κρίσεις αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἔκρινεν τὴν πόρνην τὴν μεγάλην ἥτις ἔφθειρεν τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξεδίκησεν τὸ αἷμα τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῆς. 4 καὶ ἔπεσαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ θεῷ τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ λέγοντες, |
| 1After these things, I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a vast multitude in heaven, saying: “Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power belong to our God, 2for true and just are His judgments; for He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His servants from her hand.” 3And a second time they said: “Hallelujah! And her smoke rises up forever and ever.” 4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who sits upon the throne, saying: “Amen! Hallelujah!” |
| 5 Καὶ φωνὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου ἐξῆλθεν λέγουσα, 6 καὶ ἤκουσα ὡς φωνὴν ὄχλου πολλοῦ καὶ ὡς φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν καὶ ὡς φωνὴν βροντῶν ἰσχυρῶν λεγόντων, |
| 5And a voice came out from the throne, saying: “Give praise to our God, all you His servants, and you who fear Him, the small and the great.” 6And I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the crash of mighty thunders, saying: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has begun His reign.” |
The Marriage of the Lamb
| 7“Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to Him, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has prepared herself. 8And it was granted to her that she should clothe herself in fine linen, bright and pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” |
| 9 Καὶ λέγει μοι, Γράψον· Μακάριοι οἱ εἰς τὸ δεῖπνον τοῦ γάμου τοῦ ἀρνίου κεκλημένοι. καὶ λέγει μοι, Οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι ἀληθινοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσιν. 10 καὶ ἔπεσα ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ. καὶ λέγει μοι, Ὅρα μή· σύνδουλός σού εἰμι καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου τῶν ἐχόντων τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ· τῷ θεῷ προσκύνησον. ἡ γὰρ μαρτυρία Ἰησοῦ ἐστιν τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς προφητείας. |
| 9And he says to me, “Write: Blessed are those who have been invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10And I fell before his feet to worship him. But he says to me, “See that you do not do that! I am a fellow-servant with you and your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” |
| 11 Καὶ εἶδον τὸν οὐρανὸν ἠνεῳγμένον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἵππος λευκὸς καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ' αὐτὸν [καλούμενος] πιστὸς καὶ ἀληθινός, καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καὶ πολεμεῖ. 12 οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ [ὡς] φλὸξ πυρός, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ διαδήματα πολλά, ἔχων ὄνομα γεγραμμένον ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ αὐτός, 13 καὶ περιβεβλημένος ἱμάτιον βεβαμμένον αἵματι, καὶ κέκληται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ. 14 καὶ τὰ στρατεύματα [τὰ] ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἐφ' ἵπποις λευκοῖς, ἐνδεδυμένοι βύσσινον λευκὸν καθαρόν. 15 καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται ῥομφαία ὀξεῖα, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῇ πατάξῃ τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ αὐτὸς ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ καὶ αὐτὸς πατεῖ τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ παντοκράτορος, 16 καὶ ἔχει ἐπὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν μηρὸν αὐτοῦ ὄνομα γεγραμμένον· βασιλεὺς βασιλέων καὶ κύριος κυρίων. |
| 11Then I saw heaven opened, and behold—a white horse! And the one sitting upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like a flame of fire, and upon His head are many royal diadems; He has a name written that no one knows except He Himself. 13He is wrapped in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which He is called is The Word of God. 14And the armies in heaven were following Him on white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and pure. 15And out of His mouth comes a sharp, long-sword, so that with it He may strike the nations; and He will shepherd them with an iron staff, and He Himself treads the winepress of the wine of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16And He has upon His robe—that is, upon His thigh—a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. |
The Great Supper of God
| 17 Καὶ εἶδον ἕνα ἄγγελον ἑστῶτα ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ ἔκραξεν [ἐν] φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων πᾶσιν τοῖς ὀρνέοις τοῖς πετομένοις ἐν μεσουρανήματι, Δεῦτε συνάχθητε εἰς τὸ δεῖπνον τὸ μέγα τοῦ θεοῦ 18 ἵνα φάγητε σάρκας βασιλέων καὶ σάρκας χιλιάρχων καὶ σάρκας ἰσχυρῶν καὶ σάρκας ἵππων καὶ τῶν καθημένων ἐπ' αὐτῶν καὶ σάρκας πάντων ἐλευθέρων τε καὶ δούλων καὶ μικρῶν καὶ μεγάλων. 19 Καὶ εἶδον τὸ θηρίον καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτῶν συνηγμένα ποιῆσαι τὸν πόλεμον μετὰ τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ ἵππου καὶ μετὰ τοῦ στρατεύματος αὐτοῦ. |
| 17And I saw a single angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of the mighty, and the flesh of horses and those who sit upon them, and the flesh of all people—both free and slave, both small and great.” 19And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the one sitting upon the horse and against His army. |
The Defeat of the Beast and the False Prophet
| 20 καὶ ἐπιάσθη τὸ θηρίον καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ὁ ψευδοπροφήτης ὁ ποιήσας τὰ σημεῖα ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ἐν οἷς ἐπλάνησεν τοὺς λαβόντας τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ θηρίου καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας τῇ εἰκόνι αὐτοῦ· ζῶντες ἐβλήθησαν οἱ δύο εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρὸς τῆς καιομένης ἐν θείῳ. 21 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ ἵππου τῇ ἐξελθούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὄρνεα ἐχορτάσθησαν ἐκ τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτῶν. |
| 20And the beast was seized, and with it the false prophet who performed the signs in its presence—by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21And the rest were killed by the long-sword of the one sitting upon the horse—the sword coming out of His mouth—and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. |
