Apocalypsis 19

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Post hæc audivi quasi vocem turbarum multarum in cælo dicentium : Alleluja : salus, et gloria, et virtus Deo nostro est :	1 After this I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying: "Alleluia! Salvation, glory, and might belong to our God,
2 quia vera et justa judicia sunt ejus, qui judicavit de meretrice magna, quæ corrupit terram in prostitutione sua, et vindicavit sanguinem servorum suorum de manibus ejus.	2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her harlotry. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants."
3 Et iterum dixerunt : Alleluja. Et fumus ejus ascendit in sæcula sæculorum.	3 They said a second time: "Alleluia! Smoke will rise from her forever and ever."
4 Et ceciderunt seniores viginti quatuor, et quatuor animalia, et adoraverunt Deum sedentem super thronum, dicentes : Amen : alleluja.	4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, "Amen. Alleluia."
5 Et vox de throno exivit, dicens : Laudem dicite Deo nostro omnes servi ejus : et qui timetis eum pusilli et magni.	5 A voice coming from the throne said: "Praise our God, all you his servants, (and) you who revere him, small and great."
6 Et audivi quasi vocem turbæ magnæ, et sicut vocem aquarum multarum, et sicut vocem tonitruorum magnorum, dicentium : Alleluja : quoniam regnavit Dominus Deus noster omnipotens.	6 Then I heard something like the sound of a great multitude or the sound of rushing water or mighty peals of thunder, as they said: "Alleluia! The Lord has established his reign, (our) God, the almighty.
7 Gaudeamus, et exsultemus : et demus gloriam ei : quia venerunt nuptiæ Agni, et uxor ejus præparavit se.	7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory. For the wedding day of the Lamb has come, his bride has made herself ready.
8 Et datum est illi ut cooperiat se byssino splendenti et candido. Byssinum enim justificationes sunt sanctorum.	8 She was allowed to wear a bright, clean linen garment." (The linen represents the righteous deeds of the holy ones.)
9 Et dixit mihi : Scribe : Beati qui ad c?nam nuptiarum Agni vocati sunt ; et dixit mihi : Hæc verba Dei vera sunt.	9 Then the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These words are true; they come from God."
10 Et cecidi ante pedes ejus, ut adorarem eum. Et dicit mihi : Vide ne feceris : conservus tuus sum, et fratrum tuorum habentium testimonium Jesu. Deum adora. Testimonium enim Jesu est spiritus prophetiæ.	10 I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Don't! I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brothers who bear witness to Jesus. Worship God. Witness to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
11 Et vidi cælum apertum, et ecce equus albus, et qui sedebat super eum, vocabatur Fidelis, et Verax, et cum justitia judicat et pugnat.	11 Then I saw the heavens opened, and there was a white horse; its rider was (called) "Faithful and True." He judges and wages war in righteousness.
12 Oculi autem ejus sicut flamma ignis, et in capite ejus diademata multa, habens nomen scriptum, quod nemo novit nisi ipse.	12 His eyes were (like) a fiery flame, and on his head were many diadems. He had a name inscribed that no one knows except himself.
13 Et vestitus erat veste aspersa sanguine : et vocatur nomen ejus : Verbum Dei.	13 He wore a cloak that had been dipped in blood, and his name was called the Word of God.
14 Et exercitus qui sunt in cælo, sequebantur eum in equis albis, vestiti byssino albo et mundo.	14 The armies of heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and wearing clean white linen.
15 Et de ore ejus procedit gladius ex utraque parte acutus, ut in ipso percutiat gentes. Et ipse reget eas in virga ferrea : et ipse calcat torcular vini furoris iræ Dei omnipotentis.	15 Out of his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod, and he himself will tread out in the wine press the wine of the fury and wrath of God the almighty.
16 Et habet in vestimento et in femore suo scriptum : Rex regum et Dominus dominantium.	16 He has a name written on his cloak and on his thigh, "King of kings and Lord of lords."
17 Et vidi unum angelum stantem in sole, et clamavit voce magna, dicens omnibus avibus, quæ volabant per medium cæli : Venite, et congregamini ad c?nam magnam Dei :	17 Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried out (in) a loud voice to all the birds flying high overhead, "Come here. Gather for God's great feast,
18 ut manducetis carnes regum, et carnes tribunorum, et carnes fortium, et carnes equorum, et sedentium in ipsis, et carnes omnium liberorum, et servorum, et pusillorum et magnorum.	18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of military officers, and the flesh of warriors, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of all, free and slave, small and great."
19 Et vidi bestiam, et reges terræ, et exercitus eorum congregatos ad faciendum prælium cum illo, qui sedebat in equo, et cum exercitu ejus.	19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to fight against the one riding the horse and against his army.
20 Et apprehensa est bestia, et cum ea pseudopropheta : qui fecit signa coram ipso, quibus seduxit eos, qui acceperunt caracterem bestiæ, et qui adoraverunt imaginem ejus. Vivi missi sunt hi duo in stagnum ignis ardentis sulphure :	20 The beast was caught and with it the false prophet who had performed in its sight the signs by which he led astray those who had accepted the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped its image. The two were thrown alive into the fiery pool burning with sulfur.
21 et ceteri occisi sunt in gladio sedentis super equum, qui procedit de ore ipsius : et omnes aves saturatæ sunt carnibus eorum.	21 The rest were killed by the sword that came out of the mouth of the one riding the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
