\subsection{Revelation 18}
|
|
\VS{1} After these [things] I saw another angel descending from heaven having great
|
|
authority, and the land was illuminated by his glory.
|
|
\VS{2} For he cried
|
|
out with [a] strong voice saying: Fallen fallen [is] Babylon the great, and it has
|
|
become [the] dwelling place of demons and [a] prison of every unclean and hated
|
|
bird,
|
|
\VS{3} for from the wine of the anger of her fornication have drunk
|
|
all the nations, and the kings of the land have fornicated with her, and
|
|
the merchants of the land have become wealthy from the power of her
|
|
luxury\footnote{or ``sensuality''}.
|
|
\VS{4} And I heard another voice from
|
|
heaven saying: Come out from her my people, lest you share with her sins,
|
|
and lest you receive from her plagues.
|
|
\VS{5} For her sins have reached
|
|
until heaven, and God has remembered her unjust [deeds].
|
|
\VS{6} Render to her as
|
|
she also rendered, and double [to her] double according to her deeds. In the cup
|
|
which she has mixed, mix her double.
|
|
\VS{7} As much as she glorified herself
|
|
and live luxuriously\footnote{or ``sensuously''}, this much torment and
|
|
sorrow give to her. For in her heart she says that: I sit [a] queen and am not
|
|
[a] widow and shall \negd{not} see sorrow.
|
|
\VS{8} Because of this her
|
|
plagues will come in one day, death and sorrow and famine, and she will be
|
|
burned with fire, for strong [is] the Lord God having judged her.
|
|
\VS{9} And the
|
|
kings of the land having fornicated and having
|
|
lived-luxuriously\footnote{or ``sensuously''} with her will weep and mourn,
|
|
when they see the smoke of her burning,
|
|
\VS{10} having stood from afar
|
|
because of fear of her torment, saying: Woe, woe, great city, Babylon the
|
|
strong city, for in one hour came your judgment.
|
|
\VS{11} And the merchants
|
|
of the land will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their goods
|
|
anymore,
|
|
\VS{12} goods of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and
|
|
fine linen and purple silk and scarlet, and every citron wood and every
|
|
ivory vessel and every vessel of most precious wood and copper and iron and
|
|
marble,
|
|
\VS{13} and cinnamon and amomun and incense and ointment and
|
|
frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and
|
|
sheep and horses and carriages and bodies and psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} of men.
|
|
\VS{14} And your fruit of the lust of [your] psyche-life\fnPsyche{} has departed from you,
|
|
and everything costly\footnote{or ``fat'', ``oily'', ``rich''} and shiny has perished from
|
|
you, and you will \negt{NO LONGER} find them.
|
|
\VS{15} The merchants of
|
|
these [things], those having become wealthy, will stand from afar because of fear of
|
|
her torment, weeping and sorrowing,
|
|
\VS{16} saying: Woe, woe, the great
|
|
city, clothed with fine-linen and purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold
|
|
and precious stone and pearl,
|
|
\VS{17} because in one hour such wealth has
|
|
been made [a] wilderness. And every pilot, and everyone sailing upon the place
|
|
and sailors and as many as work [on] the sea, stood from afar,
|
|
\VS{18} and were
|
|
crying out seeing the smoke of her burning saying: What [city is] like the great
|
|
city?
|
|
\VS{19} And they throw dust on their heads and were crying out weeping
|
|
and sorrowing, saying: Woe, woe, the great city, by which were made wealthy
|
|
all those having ships in the sea, by her abundance.
|
|
\VS{20} Be being happy
|
|
over her, O heaven and holy [ones], and apostles, and prophets, because the Lord
|
|
has judged your judgment on her.
|
|
\VS{21} And one strong angel took [a] stone
|
|
like [a] great millstone, and threw [it] into the sea saying: Thus with
|
|
violent-rush will Babylon the great city be thrown [down], and it will \negd{not} every be found.
|
|
\VS{22} And the sound of harps and musicians and
|
|
flautists and trumpets will \negd{not ever} be heard in her, and every
|
|
craftsman of every craft will \negd{not ever} be found in her, and
|
|
[the] sound of [a] millstone will \negd{not ever} be heard in her,
|
|
\VS{23} and [the] light of [a] lamp will \negd{not ever} shine in her, and the sound of
|
|
bridegroom and bride will \negd{not ever} be heard in her, because
|
|
your merchants were the great [men] of the land, because by your sorcery were
|
|
all the nations deceived,
|
|
\VS{24} and in her was found [the] blood of [the] prophets
|
|
and holy [ones] and all those slain upon the land.
