Translator's notes:
This sacred Latin text comes from Revelation 19:1-2.
The Latin word alleluia, borrowed into English in a variety of spellings, is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase הַלְלוּ יָהּ (Modern Hebrew hallūyāh, which is an intensification of hallelu: הַלְלוּ (second-person imperative masculine plural form of the Hebrew verb 'hillel': an exhortation to "praise" addressed to several people. Adding "yah" or "ia" to the ending of the word intensifies it: rejoice greatly. Some scholars interpret the last syllable of the word as a reference to the name of God, but this is a disputed, modern idea; nowhere else is the name of God said aloud, and in many instances, believers are specifically proscribed from saying the name.
