Chapter 19
Rejoicing in Heaven
1
After this I heard [a sound] like [the] roar… of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!
Μετὰ ταῦτα ἤκουσα ὡς μεγάλην φωνὴν πολλοῦ ὄχλου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ λεγόντων Ἁλληλουϊά ἡ σωτηρία καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ ἡ δύναμις τοῦ ἡμῶν Θεοῦ Meta tauta ēkousa hōs megalēn phōnēn pollou ochlou en tō ouranō legontōn Hallēlouia hē sōtēria kai hē doxa kai hē dynamis tou hēmōn Theou — NA/TR · 1
2
For His judgments [are] true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the blood of His servants [ that was poured ] out by her hand.
ὅτι αὐτοῦ αἱ κρίσεις ἀληθιναὶ καὶ δίκαιαι ὅτι ἔκρινεν τὴν τὴν μεγάλην πόρνην ἥτις ἔφθειρεν τὴν γῆν ἐν αὐτῆς τῇ πορνείᾳ καὶ ἐξεδίκησεν τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ τῶν δούλων ἐκ αὐτῆς χειρὸς hoti autou hai kriseis alēthinai kai dikaiai hoti ekrinen tēn tēn megalēn pornēn hētis ephtheiren tēn gēn en autēs tē porneia kai exedikēsen to haima autou tōn doulōn ek autēs cheiros — NA/TR · 2
3
And a second time they called out: “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises vvv vvv forever [and] ever.
Καὶ δεύτερον εἴρηκαν Ἁλληλουϊά καὶ αὐτῆς ὁ καπνὸς ἀναβαίνει εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων Kai deuteron eirēkan Hallēlouia kai autēs ho kapnos anabainei eis tous aiōnas tōn aiōnōn — NA/TR · 3
4
And the twenty-four… elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying: “Amen, Hallelujah!
Καὶ οἱ οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα ἔπεσαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ Θεῷ τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ λέγοντες Ἀμήν Ἁλληλουϊά Kai hoi hoi eikosi tessares presbyteroi kai ta tessara zōa epesan kai prosekynēsan tō Theō tō kathēmenō epi tō thronō legontes Amēn Hallēlouia — NA/TR · 4
5
Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all [you] who serve Him, and those who fear Him, small and great [alike]!
Καὶ φωνὴ ἐξῆλθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου λέγουσα Αἰνεῖτε ἡμῶν τῷ Θεῷ πάντες οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι αὐτόν οἱ μικροὶ καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι Kai phōnē exēlthen apo tou thronou legousa Aineite hēmōn tō Theō pantes hoi douloi autou kai hoi phoboumenoi auton hoi mikroi kai hoi megaloi — NA/TR · 5
The Marriage of the Lamb
6
And I heard [a sound] like [the] roar of a great multitude, like [the] rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
Καὶ ἤκουσα ὡς φωνὴν πολλοῦ ὄχλου καὶ ὡς φωνὴν πολλῶν ὑδάτων καὶ ὡς ἰσχυρῶν φωνὴν βροντῶν λεγόντων Ἁλληλουϊά ὅτι ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν Θεός ὁ Παντοκράτωρ ἐβασίλευσεν Kai ēkousa hōs phōnēn pollou ochlou kai hōs phōnēn pollōn hydatōn kai hōs ischyrōn phōnēn brontōn legontōn Hallēlouia hoti ho Kyrios hēmōn Theos ho Pantokratōr ebasileusen — NA/TR · 6
7
Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready…
χαίρωμεν καὶ ἀγαλλιῶμεν καὶ δώσομεν αὐτῷ τὴν δόξαν ὅτι ὁ γάμος τοῦ Ἀρνίου ἦλθεν καὶ αὐτοῦ ἡ γυνὴ ἡτοίμασεν ἑαυτήν chairōmen kai agalliōmen kai dōsomen autō tēn doxan hoti ho gamos tou Arniou ēlthen kai autou hē gynē hētoimasen heautēn — NA/TR · 7

- She was given clothing of fine linen, bright [and] pure. For the fine linen [ she wears ] is the righteous acts of the saints.
καὶ αὐτῇ ἐδόθη ἵνα περιβάληται βύσσινον λαμπρὸν καθαρόν γὰρ Τὸ βύσσινον ἐστίν τὰ δικαιώματα τῶν ἁγίων kai autē edothē hina peribalētai byssinon lampron katharon gar To byssinon estin ta dikaiōmata tōn hagiōn — NA/TR · 8
9
Then [the angel] told me to write, “Blessed [are] those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.
Καὶ λέγει μοι Γράψον Μακάριοι οἱ κεκλημένοι εἰς τὸ τοῦ γάμου δεῖπνον τοῦ Ἀρνίου καὶ λέγει μοι Οὗτοι εἰσιν οἱ ἀληθινοὶ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ Kai legei moi Grapson Makarioi hoi keklēmenoi eis to tou gamou deipnon tou Arniou kai legei moi Houtoi eisin hoi alēthinoi logoi tou Theou — NA/TR · 9
10
[So] I fell at his feet to worship him. [But] he told me, “Do not do that…! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Καὶ ἔπεσα ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τῶν ποδῶν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ λέγει μοι Ὅρα μή εἰμι σύνδουλός σού καὶ σου τῶν ἀδελφῶν τῶν ἐχόντων τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ προσκύνησον τῷ Θεῷ γὰρ ἡ μαρτυρία Ἰησοῦ ἐστιν τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς προφητείας Kai epesa emprosthen autou tōn podōn proskynēsai autō kai legei moi Hora mē eimi syndoulos sou kai sou tōn adelphōn tōn echontōn tēn martyrian Iēsou proskynēson tō Theō gar hē martyria Iēsou estin to pneuma tēs prophēteias — NA/TR · 10
The Rider on the White Horse
11
Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider… is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.
Καὶ εἶδον τὸν οὐρανὸν ἠνεῳγμένον καὶ ἰδοὺ λευκός ἵππος καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ’ αὐτὸν καλούμενος Πιστὸς καὶ Ἀληθινός καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καὶ πολεμεῖ Kai eidon ton ouranon ēneōgmenon kai idou leukos hippos kai ho kathēmenos ep’ auton kaloumenos Pistos kai Alēthinos kai en dikaiosynē krinei kai polemei — NA/TR · 11
12
- He [has] eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written [on Him] that only… He Himself knows.
δὲ αὐτοῦ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὡς φλὸξ πυρός καὶ πολλά διαδήματα ἐπὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν ἔχων ὄνομα γεγραμμένον ὃ οὐδεὶς εἰ μὴ αὐτός οἶδεν de autou hoi ophthalmoi hōs phlox pyros kai polla diadēmata epi autou tēn kephalēn echōn onoma gegrammenon ho oudeis ei mē autos oiden — NA/TR · 12
13
- He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is… The Word of God.
καὶ περιβεβλημένος ἱμάτιον βεβαμμένον αἵματι καὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ ὄνομα κέκληται Ὁ Λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ kai peribeblēmenos himation bebammenon haimati kai autou to onoma keklētai HO Logos tou Theou — NA/TR · 13
14
- The armies of - heaven, dressed in fine linen, white [and] pure, follow Him on white horses.
Καὶ τὰ στρατεύματα τὰ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἐνδεδυμένοι βύσσινον λευκὸν καθαρόν ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἐφ’ λευκοῖς ἵπποις Kai ta strateumata ta en tō ouranō endedymenoi byssinon leukon katharon ēkolouthei autō eph’ leukois hippois — NA/TR · 14
15
And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with [which] to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress… of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
καὶ ἐκ αὐτοῦ τοῦ στόματος ἐκπορεύεται ὀξεῖα ῥομφαία ἵνα ἐν αὐτῇ πατάξῃ τὰ ἔθνη καὶ αὐτὸς ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν σιδηρᾷ ῥάβδῳ καὶ αὐτὸς πατεῖ τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ Παντοκράτορος kai ek autou tou stomatos ekporeuetai oxeia rhomphaia hina en autē pataxē ta ethnē kai autos poimanei autous en sidēra rhabdō kai autos patei tēn lēnon tou oinou tou thymou tēs orgēs tou Theou tou Pantokratoros — NA/TR · 15
16
And He has a name written on [His] robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
καὶ ἔχει ὄνομα γεγραμμένον ἐπὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον καὶ ἐπὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν μηρὸν ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ΚΥΡΙΩΝ kai echei onoma gegrammenon epi to himation kai epi autou ton mēron BASILEUS BASILEŌN KAI KYRIOS KYRIŌN — NA/TR · 16
Defeat of the Beast and False Prophet
17
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice… to all the birds flying vvv overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,
Καὶ εἶδον ἕνα ἄγγελον ἑστῶτα ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν μεγάλῃ φωνῇ λέγων πᾶσιν τοῖς ὀρνέοις τοῖς πετομένοις ἐν μεσουρανήματι Δεῦτε συνάχθητε εἰς τὸ τὸ μέγα δεῖπνον τοῦ Θεοῦ Kai eidon hena angelon hestōta en tō hēliō kai ekraxen en megalē phōnē legōn pasin tois orneois tois petomenois en mesouranēmati Deute synachthēte eis to to mega deipnon tou Theou — NA/TR · 17
18
so that you may eat [the] flesh of kings and commanders and mighty [men], - of horses and riders…, - of everyone… slave and free, small and great.
ἵνα φάγητε σάρκας βασιλέων καὶ σάρκας χιλιάρχων καὶ σάρκας ἰσχυρῶν καὶ σάρκας ἵππων καὶ τῶν καθημένων ἐπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ σάρκας πάντων τε δούλων καὶ ἐλευθέρων καὶ μικρῶν καὶ μεγάλων hina phagēte sarkas basileōn kai sarkas chiliarchōn kai sarkas ischyrōn kai sarkas hippōn kai tōn kathēmenōn ep’ autōn kai sarkas pantōn te doulōn kai eleutherōn kai mikrōn kai megalōn — NA/TR · 18
19
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth [with] their armies assembled to wage war against the [One] seated on the horse, and against His army.
Καὶ εἶδον τὸ θηρίον καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ αὐτῶν τὰ στρατεύματα συνηγμένα ποιῆσαι τὸν πόλεμον μετὰ τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ ἵππου καὶ μετὰ αὐτοῦ τοῦ στρατεύματος Kai eidon to thērion kai tous basileis tēs gēs kai autōn ta strateumata synēgmena poiēsai ton polemon meta tou kathēmenou epi tou hippou kai meta autou tou strateumatos — NA/TR · 19
20
[But] the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf… had performed signs - deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both [the beast and the false prophet] were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
καὶ τὸ θηρίον ἐπιάσθη καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ ψευδοπροφήτης ὁ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ποιήσας τὰ σημεῖα ἐν οἷς ἐπλάνησεν τοὺς λαβόντας τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ θηρίου καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτοῦ τῇ εἰκόνι οἱ δύο ἐβλήθησαν ζῶντες εἰς τὴν τοῦ πυρὸς λίμνην τῆς καιομένης ἐν θείῳ kai to thērion epiasthē kai met’ autou ho pseudoprophētēs ho enōpion autou poiēsas ta sēmeia en hois eplanēsen tous labontas to charagma tou thēriou kai tous proskynountas autou tē eikoni hoi dyo eblēthēsan zōntes eis tēn tou pyros limnēn tēs kaiomenēs en theiō — NA/TR · 20
21
And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from [the] mouth of the [One] seated on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τῇ ἐξελθούσῃ ἐκ αὐτοῦ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ ἵππου Καὶ πάντα τὰ ὄρνεα ἐχορτάσθησαν ἐκ αὐτῶν τῶν σαρκῶν kai hoi loipoi apektanthēsan en tē rhomphaia tē exelthousē ek autou tou stomatos tou kathēmenou epi tou hippou Kai panta ta ornea echortasthēsan ek autōn tōn sarkōn — NA/TR · 21
