\subsection{Revelation 17}
|
|
\VS{1} And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me
|
|
saying: Come! I will show you the judgment of the great fornicatress having
|
|
sat upon many waters,
|
|
\VS{2} with whom the kings of the land fornicated,
|
|
and those dwelling on the land have been made drunk from the wine of her
|
|
fornication.
|
|
\VS{3} And he led me into [the] wilderness in the spirit; and I saw
|
|
[a] woman having sat upon [a] red wild-beast, full [of] names of slanders [against God], having
|
|
seven heads and ten horns.
|
|
\VS{4} And the woman was clothed with purple and
|
|
red, and bedecked with gold and with precious stones and with pearls, having
|
|
[a] golden cup in her hand full of abominations and unclean [things] of her
|
|
fornication.
|
|
\VS{5} And upon her head [was] written: Mystery, Babylon the
|
|
Great, the Mother of Fornicators and the Abominations of the Earth.
|
|
\VS{6} And I saw the woman drunk from the blood of the holy [ones] and from the blood of
|
|
those testifying of Jesus, and seeing her I marveled with great marvel.
|
|
\VS{7} And the angel said to me: Why do you marvel? I will tell you the
|
|
mystery of the woman and of the wild-beast carrying her which has seven
|
|
heads and ten horns.
|
|
\VS{8} The wild-beast, which you saw, was and is not,
|
|
and is [about] to be ascending from the abyss\footnote{or ``underworld''}, and he
|
|
goes to destruction. And those dwelling upon the land will marvel, whose
|
|
names are not written in the scroll of zoe-life\fnZoe{} from the foundation of the
|
|
world, seeing the beast that was and is not and is present.
|
|
\VS{9} Here [is] the
|
|
mind having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
|
|
sits, and they are seven kings.
|
|
\VS{10} The five fell, the one is, the other
|
|
has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain [a] little [while].
|
|
\VS{11} And the
|
|
wild-beast who was and is not, he himself is [the] eighth, and is from the seven
|
|
and goes to destruction.
|
|
\VS{12} And the ten horns which you saw are ten
|
|
kings, whose kingdoms they have not yet received, but authority as kings
|
|
they will receive for one hour with the wild-beast.
|
|
\VS{13} These have one
|
|
mind\footnote{or ``opinion''}, and will give their power and authority to
|
|
the wild-beast.
|
|
\VS{14} These war with the lamb and the lamb will overcome
|
|
them, for he is Lord of Lords and king of kings, and those with him [are] called
|
|
and chosen and trustworthy.
|
|
\VS{15} And he says to me: The waters which you
|
|
saw, where the fornicatress sits, are peoples and crowds and nations and
|
|
tongues.
|
|
\VS{16} And the ten horns which you saw, and the wild-beast, these
|
|
will hate the fornicatress, and will make her deserted and naked, and will
|
|
eat her flesh, and they will burn her with fire.
|
|
\VS{17} For God gave into
|
|
their hearts to do his mind\footnote{or ``opinion''}, and to do [with] one
|
|
mind\footnote{or ``opinion''} and to give their kingdoms to the wild-beast,
|
|
until the words of God be completed.
|
|
\VS{18} And the woman which you saw is
|
|
the great city having kingdom over the kings of the land.
