Prieks debesīs
1 Pēc tam es dzirdēju itin kā lielu ļaužu pūli skaļā balsī saucam debesīs:
“Alleluja!
Mūsu Dievam pieder glābšana, slava un spēks!
2 Viņa spriedumi ir patiesi un taisnīgi,
viņš ir tiesājis lielo mauku,
kas sagānīja zemi ar savu netiklību,
viņš ir atriebis savu kalpu asinis.”
3 Un tie sauca vēlreiz:
“Alleluja!
Dūmi no tās kāpj augšup mūžu mūžos.”
4 Un divdesmit četri vecajie un četras dzīvās būtnes nokrita pie zemes un pielūdza Dievu, kas sēdēja tronī:
“Āmen! Alleluja!”
5 Un balss atskanēja no troņa:
“Slavējiet mūsu Dievu,
visi viņa kalpi
un visi, kas bīstas viņa,
mazi un lieli!”
6 Tad es dzirdēju kā liela ļaužu pūļa balsi, kā dziļu ūdeņu balsi un kā grandošu pērkonu:
“Alleluja,
Kungs mūsu Dievs, Visuvaldītājs, ir tapis ķēniņš!
7 Priecāsimies un līksmosimies
un godināsim viņu,
jo ir pienākušas Jēra kāzas,
viņa sieva ir jau sagatavojusies,
8 un viņa ir tērpta smalkā lina audumā,
mirdzošā un tīrā!”
Smalkais lina audums nozīmē svēto taisnīgos darbus.
9 Balss man saka: “Raksti: laimīgi tie, kas aicināti uz Jēra kāzu mielastu!” Un balss saka: “Šie ir patiesie Dieva vārdi.” 10 Un es nokritu pie viņa kājām, lai viņu pielūgtu. Bet viņš man saka: “Pielūko, nedari tā – es esmu kalps, tāpat kā tu un tavi brāļi, kam ir Jēzus liecība, – pielūdz Dievu, jo Jēzus liecība ir pravietošanas gars!”
Jātnieks uz balta zirga
11 Tad es ieraudzīju atvērtas debesis, un redzi – balts zirgs, un jātnieks, kas sēž uz tā, saukts Uzticamais un Patiesais, viņš spriež tiesu un karo taisnīgi. 12 Viņa acis ir kā uguns liesmas, un uz viņa galvas ir daudz diadēmu, uz viņa ir rakstīts vārds, kuru neviens nezina, izņemot viņu pašu. 13 Viņš ir tērpts asinīs slacītā apmetnī, un viņu sauc Dieva Vārds. 14 Viņam seko debesu karapulks, tie, tērpušies tīrā baltā smalka lina audumā, jāj uz baltiem zirgiem. 15 No viņa mutes iziet ass zobens, lai ar to cirstu tautas, viņš ganīs tās ar dzelzs zizli, un viņš min Dieva, Visuvaldītāja, dusmu kvēles vīnspaidu, 16 un uz viņa apmetņa un uz viņa gurniem ir rakstīts vārds: ķēniņu Ķēniņš un kungu Kungs.
Zvērs tiek sakauts
17 Un es ieraudzīju vienu eņģeli, kas, nostājies saulē, varenā balsī sauca visiem putniem, kas lidoja augstu debesīs: “Lidojiet šurp, pulcējieties uz Dieva lielo mielastu, 18 lai ēstu ķēniņu miesas, virsnieku un vareno miesas, zirgu un jātnieku miesas, visu miesas – gan brīvo un vergu, gan mazo un lielo!” 19 Tad es ieraudzīju zvēru un zemes ķēniņus, un viņu karapulkus, kas sapulcēti, lai sāktu karu ar to, kas sēd zirgā, un viņa karapulku. 20 Un zvērs tika sagrābts un reizē ar viņu arī viltus pravietis, kas darīja zīmes zvēra priekšā, maldinādams tos, kas pieņēma zvēra zīmi un pielūdza viņa tēlu; viņi abi dzīvi tika iemesti ugunīgā sēra ezerā. 21 Arī pārējie tika nogalināti ar zobenu, kas izgāja no tā mutes, kas sēd zirgā, un visi putni bija sāti no viņu miesām.
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.
