19 Pagkahuman niadto, nadungog ko ang daw tingog sa daghan kaayo nga mga tawo didto sa langit. Nagaingon sila sa makusog, “Dayegon ta ang Ginoo! Dayegon ta ang atong Dios nga makagagahom sa tanan, kay siya ang nagluwas kanato! Matuod ug matarong ang iyang paghukom! Gihukman niya ang inilang babayeng nagabaligya sa iyang dungog, kay gidalahig niya ang mga tawo sa kalibotan sa iyang law-ay nga binuhatan. Gisilotan siya sa Dios tungod kay gipamatay niya ang mga alagad sa Dios.” Nagaingon sila pag-usab, “Dayegon ta ang Ginoo! Ang aso niadtong gisunog nga siyudad moulbo sa walay kataposan!” Ug ang 24 ka mga pangulo ug ang upat ka mananap nangluhod ug misimba sa Dios nga nagalingkod sa trono. Miingon sila, “Amen! Dayegon ta ang Ginoo!”

Ang Kombira sa Kasal sa Karnero

Unya may tingog ako nga nadungog gikan sa trono nga nagaingon, “Dayega ninyo ang atong Dios, kamong tanan nga nagaalagad ug nagatahod kaniya, inila man o dili!” Human niadto, nadungog ko ang daw tingog sa daghan kaayo nga mga tawo nga ang kakusog daw dahunog sa busay, ug daw sa kusog nga dalogdog. Nagaingon sila, “Dayegon ta ang Ginoo! Kay ang Ginoo nga atong Dios nga makagagahom sa tanan nagahari na. Maghugyaw kita ug magkalipay, ug dayegon ta siya. Kay miabot na ang panahon sa kasal sa Karnero. Ang iyang pangasaw-onon andam na. Gibistihan siyag puti nga limpyo kaayo ug nagsinaw pa.” (Ang maong bisti nga linen nagkahulogan sa matarong nga mga binuhatan sa katawhan sa Dios.)

Unya miingon ang anghel kanako, “Isulat kini: bulahan ang mga tawo nga giimbitar sa kombira sa kasal sa Karnero.” Miingon pa gayod siya, “Tinuod kini nga mga pulong sa Dios.” 10 Miluhod dayon ako sa atubangan sa anghel sa pagsimba kaniya. Apan miingon siya kanako, “Ayaw pagsimba kanako. Ang Dios lang ang angay nimong simbahon. Sulugoon lamang ako nga sama kanimo ug sa imong mga igsoon nga nagasugilon sa kamatuoran mahitungod kang Jesus.” (Kay ang kamatuoran mahitungod kang Jesus mao usab ang gisulti ug gisulat sa mga propeta.)

Ang Nagasakay sa Puti nga Kabayo

11 Unya nakita ko nga naabli ang langit, ug didto adunay puti nga kabayo. Ang nagasakay sa kabayo gitawag ug Kasaligan ug Tinuod. Matarong ang iyang paghukom ug pagpakiggira. 12 Ang iyang mga mata sama sa kalayo nga nagadilaab, ug adunay daghang mga korona diha sa iyang ulo. Adunay ngalan nga nakasulat diha kaniya. Apan wala gayoy nasayod kon unsa ang kahulogan niini gawas kaniya. 13 Nagsul-ob siyag bisti nga gituslob sa dugo. Gitawag siya nga “Pulong sa Dios.” 14 May nagasunod kaniya nga mga sundalo nga gikan sa langit, nga nagasakay usab sa puti nga mga kabayo, ug ang ilang bisti linen nga limpyo ug puti. 15 Nagagawas sa iyang baba ang hait nga espada nga mao ang iyang gamiton sa pagpildi sa tanang mga nasod, ug walay makabatok sa iyang pagdumala. Ipakita gayod niya ang hilabihang kasuko sa makagagahom nga Dios ngadto kanila. 16 Diha sa iyang bisti ug sa iyang paa nakasulat ang mga pulong nga, “Hari nga labaw sa tanang mga hari ug Ginoo nga labaw sa tanang mga ginoo!”

17 Unya nakita ko ang usa ka anghel nga nagatindog diha sa adlaw. Misinggit siya sa tanang mga langgam nga nagalupad sa kahanginan, “Dali kamo ug pagtigom alang sa dako nga kombira sa Dios! 18 Dali kamo ug kan-a ninyo ang unod sa mga hari, mga heneral, mga sundalo, mga tigkabayo, lakip ang unod sa ilang mga kabayo. Kan-a ninyo ang unod sa tanang mga tawo, ulipon o dili ulipon, inila o dili inila!”

19 Unya nakita ko ang mananap ug ang mga hari sa kalibotan ug ang ilang mga sundalo nga nagtigom aron sa pagpakiggira sa nagasakay sa puti nga kabayo ug sa iyang mga sundalo nga gikan sa langit. 20 Nadakpan ang mananap. Nadakpan usab ang mini nga propeta nga nagbuhat ug mga milagro sa iyang pag-alagad sa mananap. Pinaagi sa mga milagro, nalimbongan niya ang mga tawo nga adunay marka sa mananap ug nagasimba sa rebulto niini. Silang duha gitambog nga buhi ngadto sa linaw nga kalayo nga may nagadilaab nga asupre. 21 Ang ilang mga sundalo gipamatay pinaagi sa espada nga nagagawas sa baba sa nagasakay sa puti nga kabayo. Ug nakapatuyang ug kaon ang mga langgam sa ilang unod.

Threefold Hallelujah Over Babylon’s Fall

19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude(A) in heaven shouting:

“Hallelujah!(B)
Salvation(C) and glory and power(D) belong to our God,
    for true and just are his judgments.(E)
He has condemned the great prostitute(F)
    who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”(G)

And again they shouted:

“Hallelujah!(H)
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”(I)

The twenty-four elders(J) and the four living creatures(K) fell down(L) and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:

“Amen, Hallelujah!”(M)

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,(N)
you who fear him,
    both great and small!”(O)

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,(P) like the roar of rushing waters(Q) and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!(R)
    For our Lord God Almighty(S) reigns.(T)
Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!(U)
For the wedding of the Lamb(V) has come,
    and his bride(W) has made herself ready.
Fine linen,(X) bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(Y) of God’s holy people.)

Then the angel said to me,(Z) “Write this:(AA) Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”(AB) And he added, “These are the true words of God.”(AC)

10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him.(AD) But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!(AE) For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”(AF)

The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast

11 I saw heaven standing open(AG) and there before me was a white horse, whose rider(AH) is called Faithful and True.(AI) With justice he judges and wages war.(AJ) 12 His eyes are like blazing fire,(AK) and on his head are many crowns.(AL) He has a name written on him(AM) that no one knows but he himself.(AN) 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,(AO) and his name is the Word of God.(AP) 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen,(AQ) white(AR) and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword(AS) with which to strike down(AT) the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a](AU) He treads the winepress(AV) of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:(AW)

king of kings and lord of lords.(AX)

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds(AY) flying in midair,(AZ) “Come,(BA) gather together for the great supper of God,(BB) 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people,(BC) free and slave,(BD) great and small.”(BE)

19 Then I saw the beast(BF) and the kings of the earth(BG) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse(BH) and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet(BI) who had performed the signs(BJ) on its behalf.(BK) With these signs he had deluded(BL) those who had received the mark of the beast(BM) and worshiped its image.(BN) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake(BO) of burning sulfur.(BP) 21 The rest were killed with the sword(BQ) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,(BR) and all the birds(BS) gorged themselves on their flesh.

Footnotes

  1. Revelation 19:15 Psalm 2:9

19 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:

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, 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;

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.

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.

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.

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.
