1 وَبَعْدَ هَذَا سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا عَظِيمًا مِنْ جَمْعٍ كَثِيرٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ قَائِلًا: «هَلِّلُويَا! ٱلْخَلَاصُ وَٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلْكَرَامَةُ وَٱلْقُدْرَةُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا،
1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God;
2 لِأَنَّ أَحْكَامَهُ حَقٌّ وَعَادِلَةٌ، إِذْ قَدْ دَانَ ٱلزَّانِيَةَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَفْسَدَتِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِزِنَاهَا، وَٱنْتَقَمَ لِدَمِ عَبِيدِهِ مِنْ يَدِهَا».
2 for his judgments are true and righteous. For he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”
3 وَقَالُوا ثَانِيَةً: «هَلِّلُويَا! وَدُخَانُهَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ».
3 A second said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever.”
4 وَخَرَّ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ شَيْخًا وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَسَجَدُوا لِلهِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ قَائِلِينَ: «آمِينَ!هَلِّلُويَا!».
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
5 وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْعَرْشِ صَوْتٌ قَائِلًا: «سَبِّحُوا لِإِلَهِنَا يَا جَمِيعَ عَبِيدِهِ، ٱلْخَائِفِيهِ، ٱلصِّغَارِ وَٱلْكِبَارِ!».
5 A voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”
6 وَسَمِعْتُ كَصَوْتِ جَمْعٍ كَثِيرٍ، وَكَصَوْتِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَكَصَوْتِ رُعُودٍ شَدِيدَةٍ قَائِلَةً: «هَلِّلُويَا! فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ مَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.
6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!
7 لِنَفْرَحْ وَنَتَهَلَّلْ وَنُعْطِهِ ٱلْمَجْدَ! لِأَنَّ عُرْسَ ٱلْخَرُوفِ قَدْ جَاءَ، وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ هَيَّأَتْ نَفْسَهَا.
7 Let’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let’s give the glory to him. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.”
8 وَأُعْطِيَتْ أَنْ تَلْبَسَ بَزًّا نَقِيًّا بَهِيًّا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْبَزَّ هُوَ تَبَرُّرَاتُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ».
8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
9 وَقَالَ لِيَ: «ٱكْتُبْ: طُوبَى لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ إِلَى عَشَاءِ عُرْسِ ٱلْخَرُوفِ!». وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ أَقْوَالُ ٱللهِ ٱلصَّادِقَةُ».
9 He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”
10 فَخَرَرْتُ أَمَامَ رِجْلَيْهِ لِأَسْجُدَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ لِيَ: «ٱنْظُرْ! لَا تَفْعَلْ! أَنَا عَبْدٌ مَعَكَ وَمَعَ إِخْوَتِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ عِنْدَهُمْ شَهَادَةُ يَسُوعَ. ٱسْجُدْ لِلهِ! فَإِنَّ شَهَادَةَ يَسُوعَ هِيَ رُوحُ ٱلنُّبُوَّةِ».
10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”
11 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ ٱلسَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَإِذَا فَرَسٌ أَبْيَضُ وَٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَيْهِ يُدْعَى أَمِينًا وَصَادِقًا، وَبِٱلْعَدْلِ يَحْكُمُ وَيُحَارِبُ.
11 I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
12 وَعَيْنَاهُ كَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ تِيجَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَلَهُ ٱسْمٌ مَكْتُوبٌ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُهُ إِلَا هُوَ.
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.
13 وَهُوَ مُتَسَرْبِلٌ بِثَوْبٍ مَغْمُوسٍ بِدَمٍ، وَيُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ «كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ».
13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.”
14 وَٱلْأَجْنَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ كَانُوا يَتْبَعُونَهُ عَلَى خَيْلٍ بِيضٍ، لَابِسِينَ بَزًّا أَبْيَضَ وَنَقِيًّا.
14 The armies which are in heaven, clothed in white, pure, fine linen, followed him on white horses.
15 وَمِنْ فَمِهِ يَخْرُجُ سَيْفٌ مَاضٍ لِكَيْ يَضْرِبَ بِهِ ٱلْأُمَمَ. وَهُوَ سَيَرْعَاهُمْ بِعَصًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَهُوَ يَدُوسُ مَعْصَرَةَ خَمْرِ سَخَطِ وَغَضَبِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَادِرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.
15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
16 وَلَهُ عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ وَعَلَى فَخْذِهِ ٱسْمٌ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَلِكُ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْأَرْبَابِ».
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
17 وَرَأَيْتُ مَلَاكًا وَاحِدًا وَاقِفًا فِي ٱلشَّمْسِ، فَصَرَخَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ قَائِلًا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلطُّيُورِ ٱلطَّائِرَةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ: «هَلُمَّ ٱجْتَمِعِي إِلَى عَشَاءِ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ،
17 I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,
18 لِكَيْ تَأْكُلِي لُحُومَ مُلُوكٍ، وَلُحُومَ قُوَّادٍ، وَلُحُومَ أَقْوِيَاءَ، وَلُحُومَ خَيْلٍ وَٱلْجَالِسِينَ عَلَيْهَا، وَلُحُومَ ٱلْكُلِّ: حُرًّا وَعَبْدًا، صَغِيرًا وَكَبِيرًا».
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, small and great.”
19 وَرَأَيْتُ ٱلْوَحْشَ وَمُلُوكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَجْنَادَهُمْ مُجْتَمِعِينَ لِيَصْنَعُوا حَرْبًا مَعَ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْفَرَسِ وَمَعَ جُنْدِهِ.
19 I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse and against his army.
20 فَقُبِضَ عَلَى ٱلْوَحْشِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْكَذَّابِ مَعَهُ، ٱلصَّانِعِ قُدَّامَهُ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا أَضَلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا سِمَةَ ٱلْوَحْشِ وَٱلَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا لِصُورَتِهِ. وَطُرِحَ ٱلِٱثْنَانِ حَيَّيْنِ إِلَى بُحَيْرَةِ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمُتَّقِدَةِ بِٱلْكِبْرِيتِ.
20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21 وَٱلْبَاقُونَ قُتِلُوا بِسَيْفِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْفَرَسِ ٱلْخَارِجِ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلطُّيُورِ شَبِعَتْ مِنْ لُحُومِهِمْ.
21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. So all the birds were filled with their flesh.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And He hath upon His vesture and upon His thigh a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords." Thus does the Word of God always preserve the outlines, as it were, of things to come, and points out to men the various forms (species), as it were, of the dispensations of the Father, teaching us the things pertaining …
… wonderful vision had been shown him, he trembled, and fell down at the Angel's feet; but that Angel, who sought not but the glory of God, said, "See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thee, and of thy brethren the prophets." What then, my brethren?

And further, if the Creator and Lord of all things is called also King of Kings and Lord of Lords and God of Gods, surely also the saints are gods and lords and kings.

… person the apostasy, and accomplishes whatever he shall do according to his own will and choice, sitting also in the temple of God, so that his dupes may adore him as the Christ; wherefore also shall he deservedly "be cast into the lake of fire:" [this will happen according to divine appointment], God by His prescience foreseeing all this, and …
