ABU(i)
1 AFTER these things, I heard as it were a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, of those saying: Alleluia; the salvation, and the glory, and the power, are our God's;
2 because true and righteous are his judgments; because he judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And a second time they said: Alleluia. And her smoke goes up forever and ever.
4 And the twenty-four elders, and the four animals, fell down and worshiped God, who sits on the throne, saying: Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye who fear him, the small and the great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying: Alleluia; because the Lord God the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult, and we will give to him the glory; because the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife made herself ready.
8 And it was given her that she should be clothed in fine linen, pure and shining; for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.
9 And he says to me: Write, Happy are they who are called to the marriage-supper of the Lamb. And he says to me: These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me: See thou do it not. I am a fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren who 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 who sat upon him, called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he judges, and makes war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, which no one knows but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called, The Word of God.
14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white, pure.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he will rule them with a rod of iron; and he treads the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.
16 And he has on his garment, 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 birds that fly in mid-heaven: Come, and gather yourselves together to the great supper of God;
18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all, 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 with him who sat on the horse, and with his army.
20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his presence, with which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast, and who warship his image. The two were cast alive into the lake of fire, that burns with brimstone.
21 And the rest were slain with the sword of him who sat upon the horse, which went forth out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
