1 ⲁ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲙⲫⲓⲁⲗⲏ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲕ ⲉⲡϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲧⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who sits on the many waters,
with whom the kings of the earth fornicated; and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲩⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲕⲟⲕⲕⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ
So he took me away in spirit to a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϭⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛϫⲏϭⲉ ϩⲓ ⲕⲟⲕⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲙⲉ ϩⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲅⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥϭⲓϫ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲃⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
And on her forehead a name was written: “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the prostitutes and the abominations of the earth.”
6 ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, even with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And upon seeing her I was tremendously impressed.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕⲣ ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ
So the angel said to me: “Why are you impressed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast, having the seven heads and the ten horns, that carries her.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲣ ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲥⲏϩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the Abyss and to go into perdition. And those who dwell upon the earth will be amazed, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not and will be present. (Abyssos g12)
9 ⲑ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲙϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲉ ⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲉ
Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
And there are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not come yet. And whenever he comes he must continue a short time.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲁϣϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲛⲁ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ
And the beast that was and is not; he is actually the eighth, yet he is of the seven, and he is going into perdition.
And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the Beast for one hour.
These are of one mind and give their power and authority to the Beast.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ
They will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲡⲉ
Then he says to me: “The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲛⲥⲉⲁⲁⲥ ⲛϫⲁⲓⲉ ⲉⲥⲕⲏ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲣⲱⲕϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ
And the ten horns that you saw, also the beast, these will hate the whore and will lay her waste and strip her and eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲥⲉϯ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
Because God put it into their hearts to perform His purpose, even to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the Beast, until the words of God should be fulfilled.
Now the woman whom you saw is the great city that holds rulership over the kings of the earth.
