Portuguese abstract Na parte central do livro do Apocalipse (4,1-22,9), há um grupo de hinos (4,8-11; 5,9-14; 7,10-12; 11,15-18; 12,10-12; 15,3-4; 19,1-8) que sintetiza o drama teológico do livro. O enredo desta parte apresenta um julgamento em que Deus age como um justo juiz contra os inimigos. Assim, este artigo apresenta uma análise literária da narração do hino conclusivo (19,1-8). O texto escolhido canta a salvação de Deus e convida a todos a louvar (19,5), por causa do reinado de Deus (19,6) e das núpcias do Cordeiro com sua esposa (19,7), a comunidade de fé, vestida com a justiça dos santos (19,8). Nesta apresentação serão desenvolvidos os seguintes tópicos: a lista dos hinos do Livro do Apocalipse; o contexto literário e a delimitação de 19,1-8; e a análise literária do texto. O último hino constitui um final que retoma muitos temas presentes em outras passagens do Apocalipse, principalmente nos seus hinos.
English abstract In the central part of the Book of Revelation (4:1?22:9), there is a group of hymns (4:8-11; 5:9-14; 7:10-12; 11:15-18; 12:10- 12; 15:3-4; 19:1-8) that synthetizes the theological drama of the book. The plot of this part presents a judgement in which God acts as a fair judge against the enemies. Thus, this paper presents a literary analysis of the narration conclusive hymn (19:1-8). The chosen text sings God’s salvation and invites everyone to praise (19:5), because of God’s reign (19:6) and the nuptials of the Lamb with his wife (19:7), the community of faith, dressed with the Saints’ righteousness (19:8). The following topics will be developed in this presentation: the list of the hymns on the Book of Revelation; the literary context and the delimitation of 19:1-8; and the text’s literary analysis. The last hymn constitutes an ending that recapitulates many themes present in other passages of Revelation, mainly in its hymns.
