Apocalypsis Ioannis

Apocalypsis, chapter 19, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 19 Vulgate

   1 Post haec audivi quasi vo cem magnam turbae multae in caelo dicentium: "Alleluia! Salus et gloria et virtus Deo nostro,
   2 quia vera et iusta iudicia eius; quia iudicavit de meretrice magna, quae corrupit terram in prostitutione sua, et vindicavit sanguinem servorum suorum de manibus eius!".
   3 Et iterum dixerunt: "Alleluia! Et fumus eius ascendit in saecula saeculorum!".
   4 Et ceciderunt seniores viginti quattuor et quattuor animalia et adoraverunt Deum sedentem super thronum dicentes: "Amen. Alleluia".
   5 Et vox de throno exivit dicens: "Laudem dicite Deo nostro, omnes servi eius et qui timetis eum, pusilli et magni!".
   6 Et audivi quasi vocem turbae magnae et sicut vocem aquarum multarum et sicut vocem tonitruum magnorum dicentium: "Alleluia, quoniam regnavit Dominus, Deus noster omnipotens.
   7 Gaudeamus et exsultemus et demus gloriam ei, quia venerunt nuptiae Agni, et uxor eius praeparavit se.
   8 Et datum est illi, ut cooperiat se byssino splendenti mundo: byssinum enim iustificationes sunt sanctorum".
   9 Et dicit mihi: "Scribe: Beati, qui ad cenam nuptiarum Agni vocati sunt!". Et dicit mihi: "Haec verba Dei vera sunt".
   10 Et cecidi ante pedes eius, ut adorarem eum. Et dicit mihi: "Vide, ne feceris! Conservus tuus sum et fratrum tuorum habentium testimonium Iesu. Deum adora. Testimonium enim Iesu est spiritus prophetiae".
   11 Et vidi caelum apertum: et ecce equus albus; et, qui sedebat super eum, vocabatur Fidelis et Verax, et in iustitia iudicat et pugnat.
   12 Oculi autem eius sicut flamma ignis, et in capite eius diademata multa, habens nomen scriptum, quod nemo novit nisi ipse;
   13 et vestitus veste aspersa sanguine, et vocatur nomen eius Verbum Dei.
   14 Et exercitus, qui sunt in caelo, sequebantur eum in equis albis, vestiti byssino albo mundo.
   15 Et de ore ipsius procedit gladius acutus, ut in ipso percutiat gentes, et ipse reget eos in virga ferrea; et ipse calcat torcular vini furoris irae Dei omnipotentis.
   16 Et habet super vestimentum et super femur suum nomen scriptum: Rex regum et Dominus dominorum.
   17 Et vidi unum angelum stantem in sole, et clamavit voce magna dicens omnibus avibus, quae volabant per medium caeli: "Venite, congregamini ad cenam magnam Dei,
   18 ut manducetis carnes regum et carnes tribunorum et carnes fortium et carnes equorum et sedentium in ipsis et carnes omnium liberorum ac servorum et pusillorum ac magnorum".
   19 Et vidi bestiam et reges terrae et exercitus eorum congregatos ad faciendum proelium cum illo, qui sedebat super equum, et cum exercitu eius.
   20 Et apprehensa est bestia et cum illa pseudopropheta, qui fecit signa coram ipsa, quibus seduxit eos, qui acceperunt characterem bestiae et qui adorant imaginem eius; vivi missi sunt hi duo in stagnum ignis ardentis sulphure.
   21 Et ceteri occisi sunt in gladio sedentis super equum, qui procedit de ore ipsius, et omnes aves saturatae sunt carnibus eorum.

King James Version

   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:
   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.
   3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose 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.
   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.
   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.
   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.
   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.
   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.
   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.
