啟示錄 18
1 些事以後，我看見另一位天使從天降下，掌有大權，下地被他的光榮照亮了。
And after these thinges, I sawe another Angel come downe from heauen, hauing great power, so that the earth was lightened with his glorie,
2 他用強大的聲音喊說：「偉大的巴比倫陷落了！陷落了！她變成了邪魔的住所，一切不潔之神的牢獄，一切不潔和可憎飛禽的巢穴，【以及一切不潔和可憎走獸的圈檻，】
And he cryed out mightily with a loud voyce, saying, It is fallen, it is fallen, Babylon that great citie, and is become the habitation of deuils, and the holde of all foule spirits, and a cage of euery vncleane and hatefull birde.
3 因為萬民都喝了她荒淫的烈酒，地上的諸王都同她行過邪淫，地上的商人，也因她的放蕩奢侈，而發了財。」
For all nations haue drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the Kings of the earth haue committed fornication with her, and the marchants of the earth are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
4 我又聽到了另一個聲因從天上說：「我的百姓，你們從她中間出來罷！免得你們分沾她的罪惡，也免得遭受她的災禍，
And I heard another voyce from heauen say, Goe out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sinnes, and that ye receiue not of her plagues.
5 因為她的罪惡已堆積得直達上天，使天主想起了她的不義。
For her sinnes are come vp into heauen, and God hath remembred her iniquities.
6 她怎樣虐待了人，你們也該怎樣虐待她，並按照她所行的，要加倍報復她；她用什麼杯斟給人，你們也要用什麼杯加倍斟給她；
Rewarde her, euen as she hath rewarded you, and giue her double according to her workes: and in the cup that she hath filled to you, fill her ye double.
7 她以前怎樣自誇自耀，奢侈享樂，你們也就怎樣加給她痛苦與哀傷；因為她心裏說過：「我坐著當皇后，而不是寡婦，必見不到哀傷。」
In as much as she glorified her selfe, and liued in pleasure, so much giue ye to her torment and sorow: for she saith in her heart, I sit being a queene, and am no widowe, and shall see no mourning.
8 為此，一日之內，她的災禍：瘟疫、哀傷和饑荒全都來到；她要被火焚燒，因為懲治她的上主天主，是強而有力的。」
Therefore shall her plagues come at one day, death, and sorowe, and famine, and she shalbe burnt with fire: for that God which condemneth her, is a strong Lord.
9 當時那些曾同她行過邪淫，和享過快樂的地上諸王，看到焚燒她的煙，都要為她流淚哀悼。
And the kings of the earth shall bewayle her, and lament for her, which haue committed fornication, and liued in pleasure with her, when they shall see that smoke of that her burning,
10 他們因害怕她受的痛苦，就遠遠站著說：「可憐，可憐！你這座偉大的城，這座強盛的巴比倫城！在一小時之內，你就受到了懲罰。」
And shall stand a farre off for feare of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great citie Babylon, that mightie citie: for in one houre is thy iudgement come.
11 地上的商人也為她流淚哀傷，因而再沒有人來買他們的貨物：
And the marchants of the earth shall weepe and wayle ouer her: for no man byeth their ware any more.
12 金銀、寶石、珍珠、細麻布、紫紅布、綢緞、朱紅布等貨物，以及各種香木、各種象牙器皿、各種貴重木器、銅、鐵、大理石的器皿，
The ware of golde, and siluer, and of precious stone, and of pearles, and of fine linnen, and of purple, and of silke, and of skarlet, and of all maner of Thyne wood, and of all vessels of yuorie, and of all vessels of most precious wood, and of brasse, and of yron, and of marble,
13 還有肉桂、香膏、香料、香液、乳香、酒、油、麵粉、麥子、牲口、羊群、駿馬、車輛、奴隸與人口。
And of cinamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oyle, and fine floure, and wheate, and beastes, and sheepe, and horses, and charets, and seruants, and soules of men.
14 商人說：「你心中所愛吃的果品，都遠離了你；一切肥美和華麗的物品，都在你前消逝了，再也尋不見了。」
(And the apples that thy soule lusted after, are departed from thee, and all things which were fatte and excellent, are departed from thee, and thou shalt finde them no more)
15 販賣這些貨物，而由她發財的人，因害怕她受的痛苦，遠遠站著，流淚哀傷，
The marchants of these thinges which were waxed riche, shall stand a farre off from her, for feare of her torment, weeping and wayling,
16 說：「可憐，可憐！這偉大的城！這曾穿戴過細麻、紫紅和朱紅布衣裳，並以黃金、寶石和珍珠作裝飾的城，
And saying, Alas, alas, that great citie, that was clothed in fine linnen and purple, and skarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearles.
17 在一小時內，這樣多的財富，就蕩然無存了。」一切船長、一切到處航海的人、船員以及那些靠海謀生的人，都遠遠站著，
For in one houre so great riches are come to desolation. And euery shipmaster, and all the people that occupie shippes, and shipmen, and whosoeuer traffike on the sea, shall stand a farre off,
18 看見焚燒她的煙，就呼喊說：「那有一座城可與這座偉大的城相比呢！」
And crie, when they see that smoke of that her burning, saying, What citie was like vnto this great citie?
19 他們在自己的頭上撒灰，流淚哀傷，喊說：「可憐，可憐！這座偉大的城！凡在海中有船的人，都因她的富饒而發了大財。她怎麼在一時之內就蕩然無存了。」
And they shall cast dust on their heads, and crie, weeping, and wayling, and say, Alas, alas, that great citie, wherein were made rich all that had ships on the sea by her costlinesse: for in one houre she is made desolate.
20 上天、聖徒、宗徒和先知們，你們因她的毀滅而歡騰罷！因為天主在她身上給你們伸了冤。
O heauen, reioyce of her, and ye holy Apostles and Prophets: for God hath punished her to be reuenged on her for your sakes.
21 然後，一位強而有力的天使，舉起一塊大如磨盤的石頭，拋在海中說：「偉大的巴比倫城必要這樣猛力地被人拋棄，再也找不著她了！
Then a mightie Angell tooke vp a stone like a great milstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, With such violence shall that great citie Babylon be cast, and shalbe found no more.
22 彈琴者、歌唱者、吹笛者和吹號者的聲音，在你中間再也聽不到了；各種工藝的匠人，在你中間再也找不到了；推磨的響聲，在你中間再也聽不到了；
And the voyce of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpetters shalbe heard no more in thee, and no craftesman, of whatsoeuer craft he be, shall be found any more in thee: and the sound of a milstone shalbe heard no more in thee.
23 燈台上的光，在你中間再也不發亮了；新郎與新娘的聲音，在你中間再也聽不到了，因為你的商人都是地上的要人，又因為萬民都因你的邪術受了迷惑；
And the light of a candle shall shine no more in thee: and the voyce of the bridegrome and of the bride shalbe heard no more in thee: for thy marchants were the great men of the earth: and with thine inchantments were deceiued all nations.
24 且在此城中找到了諸先知、諸聖徒以及一切在地上被殺者的血。」
And in her was found the blood of the Prophets, and of the Saints, and of all that were slaine vpon the earth.
