The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath
ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ 16 Καὶ ἤκουσα μεγάλης φωνῆς ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ λεγούσης τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλοις· ὑπάγετε καὶ ἐκχέετε τὰς ἑπτὰ φιάλας τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν.
REVELATION 16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling p the seven angels, “Go and q pour out on the earth r the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
2Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐγένετο ἕλκος κακὸν καὶ πονηρὸν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς ἔχοντας τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ θηρίου καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας τῇ εἰκόνι αὐτοῦ.
2So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful s sores came upon the people who bore t the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3Καὶ ὁ δεύτερος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ ἐγένετο αἷμα ὡς νεκροῦ, καὶ πᾶσα ψυχὴ ζωῆς ἀπέθανεν τὰ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ.
3The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and u it became like the blood of a corpse, and v every living thing died that was in the sea.
4Καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς ποταμοὺς καὶ τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων, καὶ ἐγένετο αἷμα.
4The third angel poured out his bowl into w the rivers and the springs of water, and x they became blood.
5Καὶ ἤκουσα τοῦ ἀγγέλου τῶν ὑδάτων λέγοντος·
δίκαιος εἶ, ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν, ὁ ὅσιος,
ὅτι ταῦτα ἔκρινας,
5And I heard the angel in charge of the waters [1] say,
y “Just are you, z O Holy One, a who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6ὅτι αἷμα ἁγίων καὶ προφητῶν ἐξέχεαν
καὶ αἷμα αὐτοῖς [δ]έδωκας πιεῖν,
ἄξιοί εἰσιν.
6 For b they have shed the blood of c saints and prophets,
and d you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7Καὶ ἤκουσα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγοντος·
ναὶ κύριε ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ,
ἀληθιναὶ καὶ δίκαιαι αἱ κρίσεις σου.
7And I heard e the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
f true and just are your judgments!”
8Καὶ ὁ τέταρτος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ἥλιον, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ καυματίσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐν πυρί.
8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people g with fire.
9καὶ ἐκαυματίσθησαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι καῦμα μέγα καὶ ἐβλασφήμησαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἔχοντος τὴν ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τὰς πληγὰς ταύτας καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν δοῦναι αὐτῷ δόξαν.
9They were scorched by the fierce heat, and h they cursed [2] the name of God who had power over these plagues. i They did not repent j and give him glory.
10Καὶ ὁ πέμπτος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον τοῦ θηρίου, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ ἐσκοτωμένη, καὶ ἐμασῶντο τὰς γλώσσας αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ πόνου,
10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on k the throne of the beast, and l its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish
11καὶ ἐβλασφήμησαν τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκ τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἑλκῶν αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν.
11and cursed m the God of heaven for their pain and n sores. o They did not repent of their deeds.
12Καὶ ὁ ἕκτος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν μέγαν τὸν Εὐφράτην, καὶ ἐξηράνθη τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ἑτοιμασθῇ ἡ ὁδὸς τῶν βασιλέων τῶν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῆς ἡλίου.
12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on p the great river Euphrates, and q its water was dried up, r to prepare the way for the kings s from the east.
13Καὶ εἶδον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ δράκοντος καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ θηρίου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ ψευδοπροφήτου πνεύματα τρία ἀκάθαρτα ὡς βάτραχοι·
13And I saw, coming out of the mouth of t the dragon and out of the mouth of u the beast and out of the mouth of v the false prophet, three w unclean spirits like x frogs.
14εἰσὶν γὰρ πνεύματα δαιμονίων ποιοῦντα σημεῖα, ἃ ἐκπορεύεται ἐπὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης συναγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν πόλεμον τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς μεγάλης τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ παντοκράτορος.
14For they are y demonic spirits, z performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, a to assemble them for battle on b the great day of God the Almighty.
15Ἰδοὺ ἔρχομαι ὡς κλέπτης. μακάριος ὁ γρηγορῶν καὶ τηρῶν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ γυμνὸς περιπατῇ καὶ βλέπωσιν τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην αὐτοῦ.
15(“Behold, c I am coming like a thief! d Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, e that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”)
16Καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν καλούμενον Ἑβραϊστὶ Ἁρμαγεδών.
16And f they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called g Armageddon.
The Seventh Bowl
17Καὶ ὁ ἕβδομος ἐξέχεεν τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ἀέρα, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν φωνὴ μεγάλη ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου λέγουσα· γέγονεν.
17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into h the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, i “It is done!”
18καὶ ἐγένοντο ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταὶ καὶ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας, οἷος οὐκ ἐγένετο ἀφ’ οὗ ἄνθρωπος ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τηλικοῦτος σεισμὸς οὕτως μέγας.
18And there were j flashes of lightning, rumblings, [3] peals of thunder, and k a great earthquake l such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake.
19καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη εἰς τρία μέρη καὶ αἱ πόλεις τῶν ἐθνῶν ἔπεσαν. καὶ Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη ἐμνήσθη ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ δοῦναι αὐτῇ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ.
19 m The great city n was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God o remembered p Babylon the great, q to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.
20καὶ πᾶσα νῆσος ἔφυγεν καὶ ὄρη οὐχ εὑρέθησαν.
20And r every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found.
21καὶ χάλαζα μεγάλη ὡς ταλαντιαία καταβαίνει ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, καὶ ἐβλασφήμησαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὸν θεὸν ἐκ τῆς πληγῆς τῆς χαλάζης, ὅτι μεγάλη ἐστὶν ἡ πληγὴ αὐτῆς σφόδρα.
21And s great hailstones, about one hundred pounds [4] each, fell from heaven on people; and t they cursed God for u the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
The Great Prostitute and the Beast
ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ 17 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,
REVELATION 17 Then v one of the seven angels who had w the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of x the great prostitute y who is seated on many waters,
2μεθ’ ἧς ἐπόρνευσαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐμεθύσθησαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς.
2 z with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and a with the wine of whose sexual immorality b the dwellers on earth have become drunk.”
3καὶ ἀπήνεγκέν με εἰς ἔρημον ἐν πνεύματι.
Καὶ εἶδον γυναῖκα καθημένην ἐπὶ θηρίον κόκκινον, γέμον[τα] ὀνόματα βλασφημίας, ἔχων κεφαλὰς ἑπτὰ καὶ κέρατα δέκα.
3And c he carried me away in the Spirit d into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on e a scarlet beast that was full of f blasphemous names, and g it had seven heads and ten horns.
4καὶ 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
4The woman h was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned i with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand j a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
5καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτῆς ὄνομα γεγραμμένον, μυστήριον, Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ μήτηρ τῶν πορνῶν καὶ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῆς γῆς.
5And on her forehead was written a name of k mystery: l “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.”
6καὶ εἶδον τὴν γυναῖκα μεθύουσαν ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος τῶν μαρτύρων Ἰησοῦ. Καὶ ἐθαύμασα ἰδὼν αὐτὴν θαῦμα μέγα.
6And I saw the woman, drunk m with the blood of the saints, the blood of n the martyrs of Jesus. [1]
When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
7Καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ ἄγγελος· διὰ τί ἐθαύμασας; ἐγὼ ἐρῶ σοι τὸ μυστήριον τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ τοῦ θηρίου τοῦ βαστάζοντος αὐτὴν τοῦ ἔχοντος τὰς ἑπτὰ κεφαλὰς καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα.
7But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you o the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
8Τὸ 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.
8The beast that you saw p was, and is not, and q is about to rise from r the bottomless pit [2] and s go to destruction. And t the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in u the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because p it was and is not and is to come.
9ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν. Αἱ ἑπτὰ κεφαλαὶ ἑπτὰ ὄρη εἰσίν, ὅπου ἡ γυνὴ κάθηται ἐπ’ αὐτῶν. καὶ βασιλεῖς ἑπτά εἰσιν·
9 v This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;
10οἱ πέντε ἔπεσαν, ὁ εἷς ἔστιν, ὁ ἄλλος οὔπω ἦλθεν, καὶ ὅταν ἔλθῃ ὀλίγον αὐτὸν δεῖ μεῖναι.
10they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.
11καὶ τὸ θηρίον ὃ ἦν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ αὐτὸς ὄγδοός ἐστιν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἑπτά ἐστιν, καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει.
11As for the beast w that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.
12Καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα ἃ εἶδες δέκα βασιλεῖς εἰσιν, οἵτινες βασιλείαν οὔπω ἔλαβον, ἀλλ’ ἐξουσίαν ὡς βασιλεῖς μίαν ὥραν λαμβάνουσιν μετὰ τοῦ θηρίου.
12And x the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings y for one hour, together with the beast.
13οὗτοι μίαν γνώμην ἔχουσιν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν καὶ ἐξουσίαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ διδόασιν.
13These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.
14οὗτοι 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.
14They z will make war on the Lamb, and a the Lamb will conquer them, for he is b Lord of lords and b King of kings, and those with him are c called and chosen and faithful.”
15Καὶ λέγει μοι· τὰ ὕδατα ἃ εἶδες οὗ ἡ πόρνη κάθηται, λαοὶ καὶ ὄχλοι εἰσὶν καὶ ἔθνη καὶ γλῶσσαι.
15And the angel [3] said to me, d “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.
16καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα ἃ εἶδες καὶ τὸ θηρίον οὗτοι μισήσουσιν τὴν πόρνην καὶ ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ γυμνὴν καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται καὶ αὐτὴν κατακαύσουσιν ἐν πυρί.
16And e the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast f will hate the prostitute. They will make her g desolate and h naked, and i devour her flesh and j burn her up with fire,
17ὁ γὰρ θεὸς ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τὴν γνώμην αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην καὶ δοῦναι τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ θεοῦ.
17for k God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and l handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
18καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἣν εἶδες ἔστιν ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν ἐπὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς.
18And the woman that you saw is m the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”
The Fall of Babylon
ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ 18 Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.
REVELATION 18 After this I saw n another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and o the earth was made bright with his glory.
2καὶ 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,
2And he called out with a mighty voice,
p “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become q a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt r for every unclean spirit,
a haunt s for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
3ὅτι 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.
3 For all nations have drunk [1]
t the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and u the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and v the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”
4Καὶ 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,
4Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
w “Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5ὅτι ἐκολλήθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐμνημόνευσεν ὁ θεὸς τὰ ἀδικήματα αὐτῆς.
5 for x her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and y God has remembered her iniquities.
6ἀπόδοτε αὐτῇ ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκεν καὶ διπλώσατε τὰ διπλᾶ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς, ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασεν κεράσατε αὐτῇ διπλοῦν,
6 z Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her a double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her b in the cup she mixed.
7ὅσα ἐδόξασεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐστρηνίασεν, τοσοῦτον δότε αὐτῇ βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος. ὅτι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει ὅτι κάθημαι βασίλισσα καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμὶ καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω.
7 c As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
d ‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8διὰ 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.
8 For this reason her plagues will come e in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and f she will be burned up with fire;
for g mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
9Καὶ κλαύσουσιν καὶ κόψονται ἐπ’ αὐτὴν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς οἱ μετ’ αὐτῆς πορνεύσαντες καὶ στρηνιάσαντες, ὅταν βλέπωσιν τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς,
9And h the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, i will weep and wail over her j when they see the smoke of her burning.
10ἀπὸ 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.
10 k They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,
“Alas! Alas! l You great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For m in a single hour your judgment has come.”
11Καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς κλαίουσιν καὶ πενθοῦσιν ἐπ’ αὐτήν, ὅτι τὸν γόμον αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἀγοράζει οὐκέτι
11And n the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore,
12γόμον 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,
12cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,
13καὶ 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.
13cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls. [2]
14καὶ 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.
14 “The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”
15Οἱ ἔμποροι τούτων οἱ πλουτήσαντες ἀπ’ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ μακρόθεν στήσονται διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες
15 o The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, p will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16λέγοντες·
οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη,
ἡ περιβεβλημένη βύσσινον καὶ πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον
καὶ κεχρυσωμένη [ἐν] χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίτῃ,
16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
q that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17ὅτι 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
17 For r in a single hour all this wealth s has been laid waste.”
And t all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off
18καὶ ἔκραζον βλέποντες τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς λέγοντες· τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ;
18and u cried out v as they saw the smoke of her burning,
w “What city was like the great city?”
19καὶ 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.
19And they threw x dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,
“Alas, alas, for the great city
y where all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For z in a single hour she has been laid waste.
20Εὐφραίνου ἐπ’ αὐτῇ, οὐρανὲ
καὶ οἱ ἅγιοι καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ προφῆται,
ὅτι ἔκρινεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ κρίμα ὑμῶν ἐξ αὐτῆς.
20 a Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and b apostles and prophets,
for c God has given judgment for you against her!”
21Καὶ 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.
21Then d a mighty angel e took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
“So will Babylon f the great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
22καὶ 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,
22 and g the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and h the sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23καὶ 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,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and i the voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for j your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived k by your sorcery.
24καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη
καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
24 And l in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of m all who have been slain on earth.”
