Revelation 19, verse by verse
Each verse is given twice: first in the King James Version, then in the World Bible Guide plain reading.
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:
After all that had happened, I heard a powerful chorus of voices from heaven, joyfully exclaiming, "Hallelujah! Praise be to our God, for He is our salvation, our glory, our honor, and our strength."
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.
His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the world with her immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His servants that she shed.
And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Once more, they exclaimed, "Praise the Lord!" As the smoke from her ascended eternally.
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
The twenty-four elders and the four creatures humbly bowed down, honoring the God on the throne with heartfelt praises, saying, "Yes, Praise the Lord!"
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.
A voice from the throne echoed, "Celebrate our God, all who serve and respect Him, regardless of your stature or status."
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.
I felt the powerful echo of countless voices, like the roar of a vast ocean or the rumble of mighty thunder, all joyfully exclaiming, "Hallelujah! Our Almighty God reigns supreme!"
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.
Let's celebrate with joy and honor Him, for the time has come for the Lamb's wedding, and his bride is prepared.
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.
She was blessed to wear pure, white linen, symbolizing the purity and goodness of the saints.
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.
He told me, "Write this down: How fortunate are those invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb!" He assured me, "These are God's genuine words."
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.
Overwhelmed, I knelt before him in reverence. But he stopped me, saying, "Don't worship me. I'm just like you, a servant, a brother who also believes in Jesus. Worship God alone, for belief in Jesus is the essence of all prophecy."
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.
I witnessed the heavens part, revealing a majestic white horse. Its rider, known as the embodiment of Truth and Loyalty, judged and battled with pure righteousness.
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.
His gaze burned with intensity, like a fiery blaze. Multiple crowns adorned his head, symbolizing his power. He bore a secret name, known only to him.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his name is The Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
The heavenly forces, riding pure white horses and dressed in spotless white linen, faithfully trailed behind him.
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.
From his mouth comes a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod, and he treads the winepress of the fierce anger of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Emblazoned on his attire and his thigh, a title resounds, "The Supreme Ruler, The Ultimate Lord."
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;
I witnessed an angel, bathed in sunlight, calling out passionately. He invited all the birds soaring in the sky to join in a grand feast prepared by God himself.
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.
So that you may eat the flesh of kings, commanders, and warriors, of horses and their riders, and of all people, free and slave, small and great.
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.
I witnessed the monster, the rulers of the world, and their forces, united in their intent to battle against the one on the horse and his soldiers.
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.
The beast was captured, along with the false prophet who had performed miracles on its behalf, deceiving those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped its image. Both were thrown alive into a fiery lake of burning sulfur.
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.
The rest were killed by the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
