GNT

1 καὶ ἦλθεν εἷς ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων τῶν ἐχόντων τὰς ἑπτὰ φιάλας, καὶ ἐλάλησεν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ λέγων, δεῦρο, δείξω σοι τὸ κρίμα τῆς πόρνης τῆς μεγάλης τῆς καθημένης ἐπὶ ὑδάτων πολλῶν,

2 μεθ᾽ ἧς ἐπόρνευσαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐμεθύσθησαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς.

3 καὶ ἀπήνεγκέν με εἰς ἔρημον ἐν πνεύματι. καὶ εἶδον γυναῖκα καθημένην ἐπὶ θηρίον κόκκινον, γέμον[τα] ὀνόματα βλασφημίας, ἔχων κεφαλὰς ἑπτὰ καὶ κέρατα δέκα.

4 καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἦν περιβεβλημένη πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον, καὶ κεχρυσωμένη χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίταις, ἔχουσα ποτήριον χρυσοῦν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῆς γέμον βδελυγμάτων καὶ τὰ ἀκάθαρτα τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς,

5 καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτῆς ὄνομα γεγραμμένον, μυστήριον, βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ μήτηρ τῶν πορνῶν καὶ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῆς γῆς.

6 καὶ εἶδον τὴν γυναῖκα μεθύουσαν ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος τῶν μαρτύρων ἰησοῦ. καὶ ἐθαύμασα ἰδὼν αὐτὴν θαῦμα μέγα.

7 καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ ἄγγελος, διὰ τί ἐθαύμασας; ἐγὼ ἐρῶ σοι τὸ μυστήριον τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ τοῦ θηρίου τοῦ βαστάζοντος αὐτήν, τοῦ ἔχοντος τὰς ἑπτὰ κεφαλὰς καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα·

8 τὸ θηρίον ὃ εἶδες ἦν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν, καὶ μέλλει ἀναβαίνειν ἐκ τῆς ἀβύσσου, καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει· καὶ θαυμασθήσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὧν οὐ γέγραπται τὸ ὄνομα ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον τῆς ζωῆς ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου, βλεπόντων τὸ θηρίον ὅτι ἦν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ παρέσται.

9 ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν. αἱ ἑπτὰ κεφαλαὶ ἑπτὰ ὄρη εἰσίν, ὅπου ἡ γυνὴ κάθηται ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν. καὶ βασιλεῖς ἑπτά εἰσιν·

10 οἱ πέντε ἔπεσαν, ὁ εἷς ἔστιν, ὁ ἄλλος οὔπω ἦλθεν, καὶ ὅταν ἔλθῃ ὀλίγον αὐτὸν δεῖ μεῖναι.

11 καὶ τὸ θηρίον ὃ ἦν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν, καὶ αὐτὸς ὄγδοός ἐστιν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἑπτά ἐστιν, καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει.

12 καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα ἃ εἶδες δέκα βασιλεῖς εἰσιν, οἵτινες βασιλείαν οὔπω ἔλαβον, ἀλλὰ ἐξουσίαν ὡς βασιλεῖς μίαν ὥραν λαμβάνουσιν μετὰ τοῦ θηρίου.

13 οὖτοι μίαν γνώμην ἔχουσιν, καὶ τὴν δύναμιν καὶ ἐξουσίαν αὐτῶν τῶ θηρίῳ διδόασιν.

14 οὖτοι μετὰ τοῦ ἀρνίου πολεμήσουσιν, καὶ τὸ ἀρνίον νικήσει αὐτούς, ὅτι κύριος κυρίων ἐστὶν καὶ βασιλεὺς βασιλέων, καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ κλητοὶ καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ καὶ πιστοί.

15 καὶ λέγει μοι, τὰ ὕδατα ἃ εἶδες, οὖ ἡ πόρνη κάθηται, λαοὶ καὶ ὄχλοι εἰσὶν καὶ ἔθνη καὶ γλῶσσαι.

16 καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα ἃ εἶδες καὶ τὸ θηρίον, οὖτοι μισήσουσιν τὴν πόρνην, καὶ ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ γυμνήν, καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται, καὶ αὐτὴν κατακαύσουσιν ἐν πυρί·

17 ὁ γὰρ θεὸς ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τὴν γνώμην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην καὶ δοῦναι τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῶ θηρίῳ, ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ θεοῦ.

18 καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἣν εἶδες ἔστιν ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν ἐπὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς.

1  And²⁵³² there came²⁰⁶⁴ one¹⁵²⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ seven²⁰³³ angels³² which had²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ seven²⁰³³ vials,⁵³⁵⁷ and²⁵³² talked²⁹⁸⁰ with³³²⁶ me,¹⁷⁰⁰ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto me,³⁴²⁷ Come hither;¹²⁰⁴ I will show¹¹⁶⁶ unto thee⁴⁶⁷¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ judgment²⁹¹⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ great³¹⁷³ whore⁴²⁰⁴ that sitteth²⁵²¹ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ many⁴¹⁸³ waters:⁵²⁰⁴

2  With³³²⁶ whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kings⁹³⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ have committed fornication,⁴²⁰³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ inhabitants²⁷³⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ have been made drunk³¹⁸⁴ with¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ wine³⁶³¹ of her⁸⁴⁸ fornication.⁴²⁰²

3  So²⁵³² he carried me away^{667 3165} in¹⁷²² the spirit⁴¹⁵¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the wilderness:²⁰⁴⁸ and²⁵³² I saw¹⁴⁹² a woman¹¹³⁵ sit²⁵²¹ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ a scarlet colored²⁸⁴⁷ beast,²³⁴² full¹⁰⁷³ of names³⁶⁸⁶ of blasphemy,⁹⁸⁸ having²¹⁹² seven²⁰³³ heads²⁷⁷⁶ and²⁵³² ten¹¹⁷⁶ horns.²⁷⁶⁸

4  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ woman¹¹³⁵ was²²⁵⁸ arrayed⁴⁰¹⁶ in purple⁴²⁰⁹ and²⁵³² scarlet color,²⁸⁴⁷ and²⁵³² decked⁵⁵⁵⁸ with gold⁵⁵⁵⁷ and²⁵³² precious⁵⁰⁹³ stones³⁰³⁷ and²⁵³² pearls,³¹³⁵ having²¹⁹² a golden⁵⁵⁵² cup⁴²²¹ in¹⁷²² her⁸⁴⁸ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ full¹⁰⁷³ of abominations⁹⁴⁶ and²⁵³² filthiness¹⁶⁸ of her⁸⁴⁸ fornication:⁴²⁰²

5  And²⁵³² upon¹⁹⁰⁹ her⁸⁴⁸ forehead³³⁵⁹ was a name³⁶⁸⁶ written,¹¹²⁵ MYSTERY,³⁴⁶⁶ BABYLON⁸⁹⁷ THE³⁵⁸⁸ GREAT,³¹⁷³ THE³⁵⁸⁸ MOTHER³³⁸⁴ OF HARLOTS⁴²⁰⁴ AND²⁵³² ABOMINATIONS⁹⁴⁶ OF THE³⁵⁸⁸ EARTH.¹⁰⁹³

6  And²⁵³² I saw¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ woman¹¹³⁵ drunken³¹⁸⁴ with¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ blood¹²⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ saints,⁴⁰ and²⁵³² with¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ blood¹²⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ martyrs³¹⁴⁴ of Jesus:²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² when I saw¹⁴⁹² her,⁸⁴⁶ I wondered²²⁹⁶ with great³¹⁷³ admiration.²²⁹⁵

7  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² said²⁰³⁶ unto me,³⁴²⁷ Wherefore¹³⁰² didst thou marvel?²²⁹⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ will tell²⁰⁴⁶ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ mystery³⁴⁶⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ woman,¹¹³⁵ and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ beast²³⁴² that carrieth⁹⁴¹ her,⁸⁴⁶ which hath²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ seven²⁰³³ heads²⁷⁷⁶ and²⁵³² ten¹¹⁷⁶ horns.²⁷⁶⁸

8  The³⁵⁸⁸ beast²³⁴² that³⁷³⁹ thou sawest¹⁴⁹² was,²²⁵⁸ and²⁵³² is²⁰⁷⁶ not;³⁷⁵⁶ and²⁵³² shall³¹⁹⁵ ascend³⁰⁵ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ bottomless pit,¹² and²⁵³² go⁵²¹⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ perdition:⁶⁸⁴ and²⁵³² they that dwell²⁷³⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ shall wonder,²²⁹⁶ whose³⁷³⁹ names³⁶⁸⁶ were not³⁷⁵⁶ written¹¹²⁵ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ book⁹⁷⁵ of life²²²² from⁵⁷⁵ the foundation²⁶⁰² of the world,²⁸⁸⁹ when they behold⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ beast²³⁴² that³⁷⁴⁸ was,²²⁵⁸ and²⁵³² is²⁰⁷⁶ not,³⁷⁵⁶ and yet²⁵³⁹ is.²⁰⁷⁶

9  And here⁵⁶⁰² is the³⁵⁸⁸ mind³⁵⁶³ which hath²¹⁹² wisdom.⁴⁶⁷⁸ The³⁵⁸⁸ seven²⁰³³ heads²⁷⁷⁶ are¹⁵²⁶ seven²⁰³³ mountains,^{3735 3699} on¹⁹⁰⁹ which⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ woman¹¹³⁵ sitteth.²⁵²¹

10  And²⁵³² there are¹⁵²⁶ seven²⁰³³ kings:⁹³⁵ five⁴⁰⁰² are fallen,⁴⁰⁹⁸ and²⁵³² one¹⁵²⁰ is,²⁰⁷⁶ and the³⁵⁸⁸ other²⁴³ is not yet³⁷⁶⁸ come;²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² when³⁷⁵² he cometh,²⁰⁶⁴ he⁸⁴⁶ must¹¹⁶³ continue³³⁰⁶ a short space.³⁶⁴¹

11  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ beast²³⁴² that³⁷³⁹ was,²²⁵⁸ and²⁵³² is²⁰⁷⁶ not,³⁷⁵⁶ even²⁵³² he⁸⁴⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ the eighth,³⁵⁹⁰ and²⁵³² is²⁰⁷⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ seven,²⁰³³ and²⁵³² goeth⁵²¹⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ perdition.⁶⁸⁴

12  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ ten¹¹⁷⁶ horns²⁷⁶⁸ which³⁷³⁹ thou sawest¹⁴⁹² are¹⁵²⁶ ten¹¹⁷⁶ kings,⁹³⁵ which³⁷⁴⁸ have received²⁹⁸³ no kingdom as yet;^{3768 932} but²³⁵ receive²⁹⁸³ power¹⁸⁴⁹ as⁵⁶¹³ kings⁹³⁵ one³³⁹¹ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ beast.²³⁴²

13  These³⁷⁷⁸ have²¹⁹² one³³⁹¹ mind,¹¹⁰⁶ and²⁵³² shall give¹²³⁹ their¹⁴³⁸ power¹⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² strength¹⁸⁴⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ beast.²³⁴²

14  These³⁷⁷⁸ shall make war⁴¹⁷⁰ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lamb,⁷²¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lamb⁷²¹ shall overcome³⁵²⁸ them:⁸⁴⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ he is²⁰⁷⁶ Lord²⁹⁶² of lords,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² King⁹³⁵ of kings:⁹³⁵ and²⁵³² they³⁵⁸⁸ that are with³³²⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ are called,²⁸²² and²⁵³² chosen,¹⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² faithful.⁴¹⁰³

15  And²⁵³² he saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto me,³⁴²⁷ The³⁵⁸⁸ waters⁵²⁰⁴ which³⁷³⁹ thou sawest,¹⁴⁹² where³⁷⁵⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ whore⁴²⁰⁴ sitteth,²⁵²¹ are¹⁵²⁶ peoples,²⁹⁹² and²⁵³² multitudes,³⁷⁹³ and²⁵³² nations,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² tongues.¹¹⁰⁰

16  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ ten¹¹⁷⁶ horns²⁷⁶⁸ which³⁷³⁹ thou sawest¹⁴⁹² upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ beast,²³⁴² these³⁷⁷⁸ shall hate³⁴⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ whore,⁴²⁰⁴ and²⁵³² shall make⁴¹⁶⁰ her⁸⁴⁶ desolate²⁰⁴⁹ and²⁵³² naked,¹¹³¹ and²⁵³² shall eat⁵³¹⁵ her⁸⁴⁸ flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ and²⁵³² burn²⁶¹⁸ her⁸⁴⁶ with¹⁷²² fire.⁴⁴⁴²

17  For¹⁰⁶³ God²³¹⁶ hath put¹³²⁵ in¹⁵¹⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ to fulfill⁴¹⁶⁰ his⁸⁴⁸ will,¹¹⁰⁶ and²⁵³² to agree,^{4160 3391 1106} and²⁵³² give¹³²⁵ their⁸⁴⁸ kingdom⁹³² unto the³⁵⁸⁸ beast,²³⁴² until⁸⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ of God²³¹⁶ shall be fulfilled.⁵⁰⁵⁵

18  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ woman¹¹³⁵ which³⁷³⁹ thou sawest¹⁴⁹² is²⁰⁷⁶ that great³¹⁷³ city,⁴¹⁷² which reigneth^{2192 932} over¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kings⁹³⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

Vul

1 Et venit unus de septem angelis, qui habebant septem phialas, et locutus est mecum, dicens: Veni, ostendam tibi damnationem meretricis magnæ, quæ sedet super aquas multas,

2 cum qua fornicati sunt reges terræ, et inebriati sunt qui inhabitant terram de vino prostitutionis ejus.

3 Et abstulit me in spiritu in desertum. Et vidi mulierem sedentem super bestiam coccineam, plenam nominibus blasphemiæ, habentem capita septem, et cornua decem.

4 Et mulier erat circumdata purpura, et coccino, et inaurata auro, et lapide pretioso, et margaritis, habens poculum aureum in manu sua, plenum abominatione, et immunditia fornicationis ejus.

5 Et in fronte ejus nomen scriptum: Mysterium: Babylon magna, mater fornicationum, et abominationum terræ.

6 Et vidi mulierem ebriam de sanguine sanctorum, et de sanguine martyrum Jesu. Et miratus sum cum vidissem illam admiratione magna.

7 Et dixit mihi angelus: Quare miraris? ego dicam tibi sacramentum mulieris, et bestiæ, quæ portat eam, quæ habet capita septem, et cornua decem.

8 Bestia, quam vidisti, fuit, et non est, et ascensura est de abysso, et in interitum ibit: et mirabuntur inhabitantes terram (quorum non sunt scripta nomina in libro vitæ a constitutione mundi) videntes bestiam, quæ erat, et non est.

9 Et hic est sensus, qui habet sapientiam. Septem capita, septem montes sunt, super quos mulier sedet, et reges septem sunt.

10 Quinque ceciderunt, unus est, et alius nondum venit: et cum venerit, oportet illum breve tempus manere.

11 Et bestia, quæ erat, et non est: et ipsa octava est: et de septem est, et in interitum vadit.

12 Et decem cornua, quæ vidisti, decem reges sunt: qui regnum nondum acceperunt, sed potestatem tamquam reges una hora accipient post bestiam.

13 Hi unum consilium habent, et virtutem, et potestatem suam bestiæ tradent.

14 Hi cum Agno pugnabunt, et Agnus vincet illos: quoniam Dominus dominorum est, et Rex regum, et qui cum illo sunt, vocati, electi, et fideles.

15 Et dixit mihi: Aquæ, quas vidisti ubi meretrix sedet, populi sunt, et gentes, et linguæ.

16 Et decem cornua, quæ vidisti in bestia: hi odient fornicariam, et desolatam facient illam, et nudam, et carnes ejus manducabunt, et ipsam igni concremabunt.

17 Deus enim dedit in corda eorum ut faciant quod placitum est illi: ut dent regnum suum bestiæ donec consummentur verba Dei.

18 Et mulier, quam vidisti, est civitas magna, quæ habet regnum super reges terræ.
