GNT

1 μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.

2 καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν ἰσχυρᾷ φωνῇ λέγων, ἔπεσεν, ἔπεσεν βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, καὶ ἐγένετο κατοικητήριον δαιμονίων καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς πνεύματος ἀκαθάρτου καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς ὀρνέου ἀκαθάρτου [καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς θηρίου ἀκαθάρτου] καὶ μεμισημένου,

3 ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς πέπωκαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς μετ᾽ αὐτῆς ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ στρήνους αὐτῆς ἐπλούτησαν.

4 καὶ ἤκουσα ἄλλην φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσαν, ἐξέλθατε, ὁ λαός μου, ἐξ αὐτῆς, ἵνα μὴ συγκοινωνήσητε ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς ἵνα μὴ λάβητε·

5 ὅτι ἐκολλήθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐμνημόνευσεν ὁ θεὸς τὰ ἀδικήματα αὐτῆς.

6 ἀπόδοτε αὐτῇ ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκεν, καὶ διπλώσατε τὰ διπλᾶ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς· ἐν τῶ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασεν κεράσατε αὐτῇ διπλοῦν·

7 ὅσα ἐδόξασεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐστρηνίασεν, τοσοῦτον δότε αὐτῇ βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος. ὅτι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει ὅτι κάθημαι βασίλισσα, καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμί, καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω·

8 διὰ τοῦτο ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἥξουσιν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῆς, θάνατος καὶ πένθος καὶ λιμός, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται· ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ κρίνας αὐτήν.

9 καὶ κλαύσουσιν καὶ κόψονται ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτῆς πορνεύσαντες καὶ στρηνιάσαντες, ὅταν βλέπωσιν τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς,

10 ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑστηκότες διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς, λέγοντες, οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, βαβυλὼν ἡ πόλις ἡ ἰσχυρά, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου.

11 καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς κλαίουσιν καὶ πενθοῦσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν, ὅτι τὸν γόμον αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἀγοράζει οὐκέτι,

12 γόμον χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀργύρου καὶ λίθου τιμίου καὶ μαργαριτῶν καὶ βυσσίνου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ σιρικοῦ καὶ κοκκίνου, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐκ ξύλου τιμιωτάτου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μαρμάρου,

13 καὶ κιννάμωμον καὶ ἄμωμον καὶ θυμιάματα καὶ μύρον καὶ λίβανον καὶ οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ σεμίδαλιν καὶ σῖτον καὶ κτήνη καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ ἵππων καὶ ῥεδῶν καὶ σωμάτων, καὶ ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων.

14 καὶ ἡ ὀπώρα σου τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ λιπαρὰ καὶ τὰ λαμπρὰ ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ αὐτὰ εὑρήσουσιν.

15 οἱ ἔμποροι τούτων, οἱ πλουτήσαντες ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν στήσονται διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς, κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες,

16 λέγοντες, οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ περιβεβλημένη βύσσινον καὶ πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον, καὶ κεχρυσωμένη [ἐν] χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίτῃ,

17 ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος. καὶ πᾶς κυβερνήτης καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἐπὶ τόπον πλέων καὶ ναῦται καὶ ὅσοι τὴν θάλασσαν ἐργάζονται ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν

18 καὶ ἔκραζον βλέποντες τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς λέγοντες, τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ;

19 καὶ ἔβαλον χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκραζον κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες, λέγοντες, οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἐν ᾗ ἐπλούτησαν πάντες οἱ ἔχοντες τὰ πλοῖα ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἐκ τῆς τιμιότητος αὐτῆς, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη.

20 εὐφραίνου ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, οὐρανέ, καὶ οἱ ἅγιοι καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ προφῆται, ὅτι ἔκρινεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ κρίμα ὑμῶν ἐξ αὐτῆς.

21 καὶ ἦρεν εἷς ἄγγελος ἰσχυρὸς λίθον ὡς μύλινον μέγαν καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν λέγων, οὕτως ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη πόλις, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔτι.

22 καὶ φωνὴ κιθαρῳδῶν καὶ μουσικῶν καὶ αὐλητῶν καὶ σαλπιστῶν οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ πᾶς τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ μύλου οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι,

23 καὶ φῶς λύχνου οὐ μὴ φάνῃ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ νύμφης οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι· ὅτι οἱ ἔμποροί σου ἦσαν οἱ μεγιστᾶνες τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη,

24 καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

1  And²⁵³² after³³²⁶ these things⁵⁰²³ I saw¹⁴⁹² another²⁴³ angel³² come down²⁵⁹⁷ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven,³⁷⁷² having²¹⁹² great³¹⁷³ power;¹⁸⁴⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ was lightened⁵⁴⁶¹ with¹⁵³⁷ his⁸⁴⁸ glory.¹³⁹¹

2  And²⁵³² he cried²⁸⁹⁶ mightily^{1722 2479} with a strong³¹⁷³ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Babylon⁸⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ great³¹⁷³ is fallen,⁴⁰⁹⁸ is fallen,⁴⁰⁹⁸ and²⁵³² is become¹⁰⁹⁶ the habitation²⁷³² of devils,¹¹⁴² and²⁵³² the hold⁵⁴³⁸ of every³⁹⁵⁶ foul¹⁶⁹ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² a cage⁵⁴³⁸ of every³⁹⁵⁶ unclean¹⁶⁹ and²⁵³² hateful³⁴⁰⁴ bird.³⁷³²

3  For³⁷⁵⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ nations¹⁴⁸⁴ have drunk⁴⁰⁹⁵ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ wine³⁶³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ wrath²³⁷² of her⁸⁴⁸ fornication,⁴²⁰² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ kings⁹³⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ have committed fornication⁴²⁰³ with³³²⁶ her,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ merchants¹⁷¹³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ are waxed rich⁴¹⁴⁷ through¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ abundance¹⁴¹¹ of her⁸⁴⁶ delicacies.⁴⁷⁶⁴

4  And²⁵³² I heard¹⁹¹ another²⁴³ voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven,³⁷⁷² saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Come¹⁸³¹ out of¹⁵³⁷ her,⁸⁴⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ people,²⁹⁹² that²⁴⁴³ ye be not partakers^{4790 3361} of her⁸⁴⁸ sins,²⁶⁶ and²⁵³² that²⁴⁴³ ye receive²⁹⁸³ not³³⁶¹ of¹⁵³⁷ her⁸⁴⁸ plagues.⁴¹²⁷

5  For³⁷⁵⁴ her⁸⁴⁸ sins²⁶⁶ have reached¹⁹⁰ unto⁸⁹¹ heaven,³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² God²³¹⁶ hath remembered³⁴²¹ her⁸⁴⁸ iniquities.⁹²

6  Reward⁵⁹¹ her⁸⁴⁶ even²⁵³² as⁵⁶¹³ she⁸⁴⁶ rewarded⁵⁹¹ you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² double¹³⁶³ unto her⁸⁴⁶ double¹³⁶² according²⁵⁹⁶ to her⁸⁴⁸ works:²⁰⁴¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ cup⁴²²¹ which³⁷³⁹ she hath filled²⁷⁶⁷ fill²⁷⁶⁷ to her⁸⁴⁶ double.¹³⁶²

9  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ kings⁹³⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ who have committed fornication⁴²⁰³ and²⁵³² lived deliciously⁴⁷⁶³ with³³²⁶ her,⁸⁴⁶ shall bewail²⁷⁹⁹ her,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² lament²⁸⁷⁵ for¹⁹⁰⁹ her,⁸⁴⁶ when³⁷⁵² they shall see⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ smoke²⁵⁸⁶ of her⁸⁴⁸ burning,⁴⁴⁵¹

10  Standing²⁴⁷⁶ afar off^{575 3113} for¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ of her⁸⁴⁸ torment,⁹²⁹ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Alas,³⁷⁵⁹ alas³⁷⁵⁹ that great³¹⁷³ city⁴¹⁷² Babylon,⁸⁹⁷ that mighty²⁴⁷⁸ city!⁴¹⁷² for³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² one³³⁹¹ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ is thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ judgment²⁹²⁰ come.²⁰⁶⁴

11  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ merchants¹⁷¹³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ shall weep²⁷⁹⁹ and²⁵³² mourn³⁹⁹⁶ over¹⁹⁰⁹ her;⁸⁴⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ no man³⁷⁶² buyeth⁵⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ merchandise¹¹¹⁷ any more:³⁷⁶⁵

18  And²⁵³² cried²⁸⁹⁶ when they saw³⁷⁰⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ smoke²⁵⁸⁶ of her⁸⁴⁸ burning,⁴⁴⁵¹ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ What⁵¹⁰¹ city is like unto³⁶⁶⁴ this great³¹⁷³ city!⁴¹⁷²

19  And²⁵³² they cast⁹⁰⁶ dust⁵⁵²² on¹⁹⁰⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ heads,²⁷⁷⁶ and²⁵³² cried,²⁸⁹⁶ weeping²⁷⁹⁹ and²⁵³² wailing,³⁹⁹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Alas,³⁷⁵⁹ alas,³⁷⁵⁹ that great³¹⁷³ city,⁴¹⁷² wherein^{1722 3739} were made rich⁴¹⁴⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ that had²¹⁹² ships⁴¹⁴³ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ sea²²⁸¹ by reason of¹⁵³⁷ her⁸⁴⁸ costliness!⁵⁰⁹⁴ for³⁷⁵⁴ in one³³⁹¹ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ is she made desolate.²⁰⁴⁹

20  Rejoice²¹⁶⁵ over¹⁹⁰⁹ her,⁸⁴⁶ thou heaven,³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² ye holy⁴⁰ apostles⁶⁵² and²⁵³² prophets;⁴³⁹⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ hath avenged^{2919 2917} you⁵²¹⁶ on¹⁵³⁷ her.⁸⁴⁶

21  And²⁵³² a¹⁵²⁰ mighty²⁴⁷⁸ angel³² took up¹⁴² a stone³⁰³⁷ like⁵⁶¹³ a great³¹⁷³ millstone,³⁴⁵⁸ and²⁵³² cast⁹⁰⁶ it into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Thus³⁷⁷⁹ with violence³⁷³¹ shall that great³¹⁷³ city⁴¹⁷² Babylon⁸⁹⁷ be thrown down,⁹⁰⁶ and²⁵³² shall be found²¹⁴⁷ no more at all.^{2089 3364}

Vul

1 Et post hæc vidi alium angelum descendentem de cælo, habentem potestatem magnam: et terra illuminata est a gloria ejus.

2 Et exclamavit in fortitudine, dicens: Cecidit, cecidit Babylon magna: et facta est habitatio dæmoniorum, et custodia omnis spiritus immundi, et custodia omnis volucris immundæ, et odibilis:

3 quia de vino iræ fornicationis ejus biberunt omnes gentes: et reges terræ cum illa fornicati sunt: et mercatores terræ de virtute deliciarum ejus divites facti sunt.

4 Et audivi aliam vocem de cælo, dicentem: Exite de illa populus meus: ut ne participes sitis delictorum ejus, et de plagis ejus non accipiatis.

5 Quoniam pervenerunt peccata ejus usque ad cælum, et recordatus est Dominus iniquitatum ejus.

6 Reddite illi sicut et ipsa reddidit vobis: et duplicate duplicia secundum opera ejus: in poculo, quo miscuit, miscete illi duplum.

7 Quantum glorificavit se, et in deliciis fuit, tantum date illi tormentum et luctum: quia in corde suo dicit: Sedeo regina: et vidua non sum, et luctum non videbo.

8 Ideo in una die venient plagæ ejus, mors, et luctus, et fames, et igne comburetur: quia fortis est Deus, qui judicabit illam.

9 Et flebunt, et plangent se super illam reges terræ, qui cum illa fornicati sunt, et in deliciis vixerunt, cum viderint fumum incendii ejus:

10 longe stantes propter timorem tormentorum ejus, dicentes: Væ, væ civitas illa magna Babylon, civitas illa fortis: quoniam una hora venit judicium tuum.

11 Et negotiatores terræ flebunt, et lugebunt super illam: quoniam merces eorum nemo emet amplius:

12 merces auri, et argenti, et lapidis pretiosi, et margaritæ, et byssi, et purpuræ, et serici, et cocci (et omne lignum thyinum, et omnia vasa eboris, et omnia vasa de lapide pretioso, et æramento, et ferro, et marmore,

13 et cinnamomum) et odoramentorum, et unguenti, et thuris, et vini, et olei, et similæ, et tritici, et jumentorum, et ovium, et equorum, et rhedarum, et mancipiorum, et animarum hominum.

14 Et poma desiderii animæ tuæ discesserunt a te, et omnia pinguia et præclara perierunt a te, et amplius illa jam non invenient.

15 Mercatores horum, qui divites facti sunt, ab ea longe stabunt propter timorem tormentorum ejus, flentes, ac lugentes,

16 et dicentes: Væ, væ civitas illa magna, quæ amicta erat bysso, et purpura, et cocco, et deaurata erat auro, et lapide pretioso, et margaritis:

17 quoniam una hora destitutæ sunt tantæ divitiæ, et omnis gubernator, et omnis qui in lacum navigat, et nautæ, et qui in mari operantur, longe steterunt,

18 et clamaverunt videntes locum incendii ejus, dicentes: Quæ similis civitati huic magnæ?

19 et miserunt pulverem super capita sua, et clamaverunt flentes, et lugentes, dicentes: Væ, væ civitas illa magna, in qua divites facti sunt omnes, qui habebant naves in mari de pretiis ejus: quoniam una hora desolata est.

20 Exsulta super eam cælum, et sancti apostoli, et prophetæ: quoniam judicavit Deus judicium vestrum de illa.

21 Et sustulit unus angelus fortis lapidem quasi molarem magnum, et misit in mare, dicens: Hoc impetu mittetur Babylon civitas illa magna, et ultra jam non invenietur.

22 Et vox citharœdorum, et musicorum, et tibia canentium, et tuba non audietur in te amplius: et omnis artifex omnis artis non invenietur in te amplius: et vox molæ non audietur in te amplius:

23 et lux lucernæ non lucebit in te amplius: et vox sponsi et sponsæ non audietur adhuc in te: quia mercatores tui erant principes terræ, quia in veneficiis tuis erraverunt omnes gentes.

24 Et in ea sanguis prophetarum et sanctorum inventus est: et omnium qui interfecti sunt in terra.
