SAGRADA BIBLIACATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Depois disso, ouvi no céu como que um imenso coro que cantava: Aleluia! A nosso Deus a salvação, a glória e o poder,1 After these things, I heard something like the voice of many multitudes in heaven, saying: “Alleluia! Praise and glory and power is for our God.
2 porque os seus juízos são verdadeiros e justos. Ele executou a grande Prostituta que corrompia a terra com a sua prostituição, e pediu-lhe contas do sangue dos seus servos.2 For true and just are his judgments, he who has judged the great harlot that corrupted the earth by her prostitution. And he has vindicated the blood of his servants from her hands.”
3 Depois recomeçaram: Aleluia! Sua fumaça sobe pelos séculos dos séculos.3 And again, they said: “Alleluia! For her smoke ascends forever and ever.”
4 Então os vinte e quatro Anciãos e os quatro Animais prostraram-se e adoraram a Deus que se assenta no trono, dizendo: Amém! Aleluia!4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, sitting upon the throne, saying: “Amen! Alleluia!”
5 Do trono saiu uma voz que dizia: Cantai ao nosso Deus, vós todos, seus servos que o temeis, pequenos e grandes.5 And a voice went out from the throne, saying: “Express praise to our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, small and great.”
6 Nisto ouvi como que um imenso coro, sonoro como o ruído de grandes águas e como o ribombar de possantes trovões, que cantava: Aleluia! Eis que reina o Senhor, nosso Deus, o Dominador!6 And I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of great thunders, saying: “Alleluia! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has reigned.
7 Alegremo-nos, exultemos e demos-lhe glória, porque se aproximam as núpcias do Cordeiro. Sua Esposa está preparada.7 Let us be glad and exult. And let us give glory to him. For the marriage feast of the Lamb has arrived, and his wife has prepared herself.”
8 Foi-lhe dado revestir-se de linho puríssimo e resplandecente. {Pois o linho são as boas obras dos santos.}8 And it was granted to her that she should cover herself with fine linen, splendid and white. For the fine linen is the justifications of the Saints.
9 Ele me diz, então: Escreve: Felizes os convidados para a ceia das núpcias do Cordeiro. Disse-me ainda: Estas são palavras autênticas de Deus.9 And he said to me: “Write: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These words of God are true.”
10 Prostrei-me aos seus pés para adorá-lo, mas ele me diz: Não faças isso! Eu sou um servo, como tu e teus irmãos, possuidores do testemunho de Jesus. Adora a Deus. Porque o espírito profético não é outro que o testemunho de Jesus.10 And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he said to me: “Be careful not to do so. I am your fellow servant, and I am among your brothers, who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is a spirit of prophecy.”
11 Vi ainda o céu aberto: eis que aparece um cavalo branco. Seu cavaleiro chama-se Fiel e Verdadeiro, e é com justiça que ele julga e guerreia.11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was called Faithful and True. And with justice does he judge and fight.
12 Tem olhos flamejantes. Há em sua cabeça muitos diademas e traz escrito um nome que ninguém conhece, senão ele.12 And his eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, having a name written, which no one knows except himself.
13 Está vestido com um manto tinto de sangue, e o seu nome é Verbo de Deus.13 And he was clothed with a vestment sprinkled with blood. And his name is called: THE WORD OF GOD.
14 Seguiam-no em cavalos brancos os exércitos celestes, vestidos de linho fino e de uma brancura imaculada.14 And the armies that are in heaven were following him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 De sua boca sai uma espada afiada, para com ela ferir as nações pagãs, porque ele deve governá-las com cetro de ferro e pisar o lagar do vinho da ardente ira do Deus Dominador.15 And from his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, so that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with an iron rod. And he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 Ele traz escrito no manto e na coxa: Rei dos reis e Senhor dos senhores!16 And he has on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 Vi, então, um anjo de pé sobre o sol, a chamar em alta voz a todas as aves que voam pelo meio dos céus: Vinde, reuni-vos para a grande ceia de Deus,17 And I saw a certain Angel, standing in the sun. And he cried out with a great voice, saying to all the birds that were flying through the midst of the sky, “Come and gather together for the great supper of God,
18 para comerdes carnes de reis, carnes de generais e carnes de poderosos; carnes de cavalos e cavaleiros; carnes de homens, livres e escravos, pequenos e grandes.18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of tribunes, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses and those sitting on them, and the flesh of all: free and servant, small and great.”
19 Eu vi a Fera e os reis da terra com os seus exércitos reunidos para fazer guerra ao Cavaleiro e ao seu exército.19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, having been gathered together to do battle against him who was sitting upon the horse, and against his army.
20 Mas a Fera foi presa, e com ela o falso profeta, que realizara prodígios sob o seu controle, com os quais seduzira aqueles que tinham recebido o sinal da Fera e se tinham prostrado diante de sua imagem. Ambos foram lançados vivos no lago de fogo sulfuroso.20 And the beast was apprehended, and with him the false prophetess, who in his presence caused the signs, by which she seduced those who accepted the character of the beast and who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire burning with sulphur.
21 Os demais foram mortos pelo Cavaleiro, com a espada que lhe saía da boca. E todas as aves fartaram-se da suas carnes.21 And the others were slain by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of him who was sitting upon the horse. And all the birds were sated with their flesh.
