1. Then I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had much power. The earth was made bright with his shining-greatness.
|
1. And G2532 after G3326 these things G5023 I saw G1492 another G243 angel G32 come down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 , having G2192 great G3173 power G1849 ; and G2532 the G3588 earth G1093 was lightened G5461 with G1537 his G848 glory G1391 .
|
|
2. He cried out with a loud voice, "The big and powerful city of Babylon is destroyed. Demons and every kind of unclean spirit live there. Unclean birds that are hated are there.
|
2. And G2532 he cried G2896 mightily G1722 G2479 with a strong G3173 voice G5456 , saying G3004 , Babylon G897 the G3588 great G3173 is fallen G4098 , is fallen G4098 , and G2532 is become G1096 the habitation G2732 of devils G1142 , and G2532 the hold G5438 of every G3956 foul G169 spirit G4151 , and G2532 a cage G5438 of every G3956 unclean G169 and G2532 hateful G3404 bird G3732 .
|
|
3. For she gave her wine to the nations of the world. It was the wine of her desire for sex sins. The kings of the earth have done these sex sins with her. The men of the earth who buy and sell have become rich from the riches she received while living in sin."
|
3. For G3754 all G3956 nations G1484 have drunk G4095 of G1537 the G3588 wine G3631 of the G3588 wrath G2372 of her G848 fornication G4202 , and G2532 the G3588 kings G935 of the G3588 earth G1093 have committed fornication G4203 with G3326 her G846 , and G2532 the G3588 merchants G1713 of the G3588 earth G1093 are waxed rich G4147 through G1537 the G3588 abundance G1411 of her G846 delicacies G4764 .
|
|
4. I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out from her, my people. Do not be a part of her sins so you will not share her troubles.
|
4. And G2532 I heard G191 another G243 voice G5456 from G1537 heaven G3772 , saying G3004 , Come G1831 out of G1537 her G846 , my G3450 people G2992 , that G2443 ye be not partakers G4790 G3361 of her G848 sins G266 , and G2532 that G2443 ye receive G2983 not G3361 of G1537 her G848 plagues G4127 .
|
|
5. For her sins are as high as heaven. God is ready to punish her for her sins.
|
5. For G3754 her G848 sins G266 have reached G190 unto G891 heaven G3772 , and G2532 God G2316 hath remembered G3421 her G848 iniquities G92 .
|
|
6. Pay her back for what she has paid you. Give back to her twice as much for what she has done. In her own cup give her twice as much as she gave.
|
6. Reward G591 her G846 even G2532 as G5613 she G846 rewarded G591 you G5213 , and G2532 double G1363 unto her G846 double G1362 according G2596 to her G848 works G2041 : in G1722 the G3588 cup G4221 which G3739 she hath filled G2767 fill G2767 to her G846 double G1362 .
|
|
7. Give her as much trouble and suffering as the fun and the rich living she chose for herself. In her heart she says, 'I sit here like a queen. I am not a woman whose husband has died. I will never have sorrow.'
|
7. How much G3745 she hath glorified G1392 herself G1438 , and G2532 lived deliciously G4763 , so much G5118 torment G929 and G2532 sorrow G3997 give G1325 her G846 : for G3754 she saith G3004 in G1722 her G848 heart G2588 , I sit G2521 a queen G938 , and G2532 am G1510 no G3756 widow G5503 , and G2532 shall see G1492 no G3364 sorrow G3997 .
|
|
8. Because of this, troubles of death and sorrow and no food will come to her in one day. She will be burned with fire. For the Lord God is powerful. He is the One Who says she is guilty.
|
8. Therefore G1223 G5124 shall her G848 plagues G4127 come G2240 in G1722 one G3391 day G2250 , death G2288 , and G2532 mourning G3997 , and G2532 famine G3042 ; and G2532 she shall be utterly burned G2618 with G1722 fire G4442 : for G3754 strong G2478 is the Lord G2962 God G2316 who judgeth G2919 her G846 .
|
|
9. "Then the kings of the earth will cry for her and be sorry when they see the smoke of her burning. They are the ones who did sex sins with her and lived as rich people.
|
9. And G2532 the G3588 kings G935 of the G3588 earth G1093 , who have committed fornication G4203 and G2532 lived deliciously G4763 with G3326 her G846 , shall bewail G2799 her G846 , and G2532 lament G2875 for G1909 her G846 , when G3752 they shall see G991 the G3588 smoke G2586 of her G848 burning G4451 ,
|
|
10. They stand a long way from her because they are afraid of her sufferings. They say, 'It is bad! It is bad for the big and powerful city of Babylon. For in one hour she is destroyed.'
|
10. Standing G2476 afar off G575 G3113 for G1223 the G3588 fear G5401 of her G848 torment G929 , saying G3004 , Alas G3759 , alas G3759 that great G3173 city G4172 Babylon G897 , that mighty G2478 city G4172 ! for G3754 in G1722 one G3391 hour G5610 is thy G4675 judgment G2920 come G2064 .
|
|
11. The men of the earth who buy and sell are sorry for her and cry. They cry because there is no one to buy their things anymore.
|
11. And G2532 the G3588 merchants G1713 of the G3588 earth G1093 shall weep G2799 and G2532 mourn G3996 over G1909 her G846 ; for G3754 no man G3762 buyeth G59 their G848 merchandise G1117 any more G3765 :
|
|
12. They sold gold and silver and stones worth much money and pearls. They sold fine linen and purple and red silk cloth. They sold all kinds of perfumed wood. They sold things made from the teeth of animals and things made from wood that cost much money. They sold brass and iron and stone.
|
12. The merchandise G1117 of gold G5557 , and G2532 silver G696 , and G2532 precious G5093 stones G3037 , and G2532 of pearls G3135 , and G2532 fine linen G1040 , and G2532 purple G4209 , and G2532 silk G4596 , and G2532 scarlet G2847 , and G2532 all G3956 thyine G2367 wood G3586 , and G2532 all manner G3956 vessels G4632 of ivory G1661 , and G2532 all manner G3956 vessels G4632 of G1537 most precious G5093 wood G3586 , and G2532 of brass G5475 , and G2532 iron G4604 , and G2532 marble G3139 ,
|
|
13. They sold spices and perfumes of all kinds. They sold wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat. They sold cows and sheep and horses and wagons. They sold men who are not free and they sold the lives of men.
|
13. And G2532 cinnamon G2792 , and G2532 odors G2368 , and G2532 ointments G3464 , and G2532 frankincense G3030 , and G2532 wine G3631 , and G2532 oil G1637 , and G2532 fine flour G4585 , and G2532 wheat G4621 , and G2532 beasts G2934 , and G2532 sheep G4263 , and G2532 horses G2462 , and G2532 chariots G4480 , and G2532 slaves G4983 , and G2532 souls G5590 of men G444 .
|
|
14. They say to her, 'All the good things you wanted so much are gone from you. Your riches are gone. The things you liked so much are gone. You will never have them again.'
|
14. And G2532 the G3588 fruits G3703 that thy G4675 soul G5590 lusted after G1939 are departed G565 from G575 thee G4675 , and G2532 all things G3956 which were dainty G3045 and G2532 goodly G2986 are departed G565 from G575 thee G4675 , and G2532 thou shalt find G2147 them G846 no more at all G3765 G3364 .
|
|
15. The men of the earth who became rich by buying and selling in that city will stand a long way back because they are afraid of her sufferings. They will cry and have sorrow.
|
15. The G3588 merchants G1713 of these things G5130 , which were made rich G4147 by G575 her G846 , shall stand G2476 afar off G575 G3113 for G1223 the G3588 fear G5401 of her G848 torment G929 , weeping G2799 and G2532 wailing G3996 ,
|
|
16. They will say, 'It is bad! It is bad for that powerful city. She dressed in fine linen of purple and red. She covered herself with gold and pearls and stones worth much money.
|
16. And G2532 saying G3004 , Alas G3759 , alas G3759 that great G3173 city G4172 , that was clothed G4016 in fine linen G1039 , and G2532 purple G4210 , and G2532 scarlet G2847 , and G2532 decked G5558 with G1722 gold G5557 , and G2532 precious G5093 stones G3037 , and G2532 pearls G3135 !
|
|
17. For in one hour her riches are destroyed.' The captain of every ship and all who traveled on ships and all who worked on ships stood a long way back.
|
17. For G3754 in one G3391 hour G5610 so great G5118 riches G4149 is come to naught G2049 . And G2532 every G3956 shipmaster G2942 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 company G3658 in G1909 ships G4143 , and G2532 sailors G3492 , and G2532 as many as G3745 trade G2038 by sea G2281 , stood G2476 afar off G575 G3113 ,
|
|
18. They cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'Has there ever been such a city as powerful as this one?'
|
18. And G2532 cried G2896 when they saw G3708 the G3588 smoke G2586 of her G848 burning G4451 , saying G3004 , What G5101 city is like unto G3664 this great G3173 city G4172 !
|
|
19. They threw dirt on their heads. They cried out with much sorrow and said, 'It is bad! It is bad for the powerful city! She is the place where all those who owned ships on the sea became rich from all her riches. For in one hour everything is gone!'
|
19. And G2532 they cast G906 dust G5522 on G1909 their G848 heads G2776 , and G2532 cried G2896 , weeping G2799 and G2532 wailing G3996 , saying G3004 , Alas G3759 , alas G3759 , that great G3173 city G4172 , wherein G1722 G3739 were made rich G4147 all G3956 that had G2192 ships G4143 in G1722 the G3588 sea G2281 by reason of G1537 her G848 costliness G5094 ! for G3754 in one G3391 hour G5610 is she made desolate G2049 .
|
|
20. "Be full of joy because of her, O heaven! Be full of joy, you who belong to God and missionaries and early preachers! For God has punished her for what she did to you."
|
20. Rejoice G2165 over G1909 her G846 , thou heaven G3772 , and G2532 ye holy G40 apostles G652 and G2532 prophets G4396 ; for G3754 God G2316 hath avenged G2919 G2917 you G5216 on G1537 her G846 .
|
|
21. Then a strong angel picked up a large stone like those used for grinding wheat. He threw it into the sea, saying, "The big and strong city of Babylon will be thrown down like this. It will never be found again.
|
21. And G2532 a G1520 mighty G2478 angel G32 took up G142 a stone G3037 like G5613 a great G3173 millstone G3458 , and G2532 cast G906 it into G1519 the G3588 sea G2281 , saying G3004 , Thus G3779 with violence G3731 shall that great G3173 city G4172 Babylon G897 be thrown down G906 , and G2532 shall be found G2147 no more at all G2089 G3364 .
|
|
22. The sound of those playing on harps and on flutes and on horns will not be heard in you again. No workman doing any kind of work will be found in you again. The sound of the grinding-stone will not be heard in you again.
|
22. And G2532 the voice G5456 of harpers G2790 , and G2532 musicians G3451 , and G2532 of pipers G834 , and G2532 trumpeters G4538 , shall be heard G191 no more at all G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 ; and no G3956 craftsman G5079 , of whatsoever G3956 craft G5078 he be, shall be found G2147 any more G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 ; and G2532 the sound G5456 of a millstone G3458 shall be heard G191 no more at all G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 ;
|
|
23. No light will ever shine in you again. There will be no more happy voices from a wedding heard in you. Your men who bought and sold were the most powerful on earth. You fooled people over all the world by your witchcraft.
|
23. And G2532 the light G5457 of a candle G3088 shall shine G5316 no more at all G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 ; and G2532 the voice G5456 of the bridegroom G3566 and G2532 of the bride G3565 shall be heard G191 no more at all G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 : for G3754 thy G4675 merchants G1713 were G2258 the G3588 great men G3175 of the G3588 earth G1093 ; for G3754 by G1722 thy G4675 sorceries G5331 were all G3956 nations G1484 deceived G4105 .
|
|
24. And in this city was found the blood of the early preachers and of those who belonged to God and of all those who had been killed on the earth."
|
24. And G2532 in G1722 her G846 was found G2147 the blood G129 of prophets G4396 , and G2532 of saints G40 , and G2532 of all G3956 that were slain G4969 upon G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 .
