Revelation 17
1 And one of the seven agents who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore who sits upon the many waters
tadanantaraṁ tēṣāṁ saptakaṁsadhāriṇāṁ saptadūtānām ēka āgatya māṁ sambhāṣyāvadat, atrāgaccha, mēdinyā narapatayō yayā vēśyayā sārddhaṁ vyabhicārakarmma kr̥tavantaḥ,
2 with whom the kings of the earth fornicated, and those who inhabit the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
yasyā vyabhicāramadēna ca pr̥thivīnivāsinō mattā abhavan tasyā bahutōyēṣūpaviṣṭāyā mahāvēśyāyā daṇḍam ahaṁ tvāṁ darśayāmi|
3 And he carried me away in spirit into a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast containing names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
tatō 'ham ātmanāviṣṭastēna dūtēna prāntaraṁ nītastatra nindānāmabhiḥ paripūrṇaṁ saptaśirōbhi rdaśaśr̥ṅgaiśca viśiṣṭaṁ sindūravarṇaṁ paśumupaviṣṭā yōṣidēkā mayā dr̥ṣṭā|
4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup containing abominations and the filthy things of her fornication,
sā nārī kr̥ṣṇalōhitavarṇaṁ sindūravarṇañca paricchadaṁ dhārayati svarṇamaṇimuktābhiśca vibhūṣitāsti tasyāḥ karē ghr̥ṇārhadravyaiḥ svavyabhicārajātamalaiśca paripūrṇa ēkaḥ suvarṇamayaḥ kaṁsō vidyatē|
5 and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
tasyā bhālē nigūḍhavākyamidaṁ pr̥thivīsthavēśyānāṁ ghr̥ṇyakriyāṇāñca mātā mahābābiliti nāma likhitam āstē|
6 And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the sanctified, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And having seen her, I wondered with great amazement.
mama dr̥ṣṭigōcarasthā sā nārī pavitralōkānāṁ rudhirēṇa yīśōḥ sākṣiṇāṁ rudhirēṇa ca mattāsīt tasyā darśanāt mamātiśayam āścaryyajñānaṁ jātaṁ|
7 And the agent said to me, Why did thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
tataḥ sa dūtō mām avadat kutastavāścaryyajñānaṁ jāyatē? asyā yōṣitastadvāhanasya saptaśirōbhi rdaśaśr̥ṅgaiśca yuktasya paśōśca nigūḍhabhāvam ahaṁ tvāṁ jñāpayāmi|
8 The beast that thou saw was, and is not, and is going to ascend out of the abyss and go into destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will come. (Abyssos g12)
tvayā dr̥ṣṭō 'sau paśurāsīt nēdānīṁ varttatē kintu rasātalāt tēnōdētavyaṁ vināśaśca gantavyaḥ| tatō yēṣāṁ nāmāni jagataḥ sr̥ṣṭikālam ārabhya jīvanapustakē likhitāni na vidyantē tē pr̥thivīnivāsinō bhūtam avarttamānamupasthāsyantañca taṁ paśuṁ dr̥ṣṭvāścaryyaṁ maṁsyantē| (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits on them.
atra jñānayuktayā buddhyā prakāśitavyaṁ| tāni saptaśirāṁsi tasyā yōṣita upavēśanasthānasvarūpāḥ saptagirayaḥ sapta rājānaśca santi|
10 And there are seven kings, the five are fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain a little while.
tēṣāṁ pañca patitā ēkaśca varttamānaḥ śēṣaścādyāpyanupasthitaḥ sa yadōpasthāsyati tadāpi tēnālpakālaṁ sthātavyaṁ|
11 And the beast that was, and is not, he also is an eighth, and is of the seven, and he goes into destruction.
yaḥ paśurāsīt kintvidānīṁ na varttatē sa ēvāṣṭamaḥ, sa saptānām ēkō 'sti vināśaṁ gamiṣyati ca|
12 And the ten horns that thou saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
tvayā dr̥ṣṭāni daśaśr̥ṅgāṇyapi daśa rājānaḥ santiḥ, adyāpi tai rājyaṁ na prāptaṁ kintu muhūrttamēkaṁ yāvat paśunā sārddhaṁ tē rājāna iva prabhutvaṁ prāpsyanti|
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
ta ēkamantraṇā bhaviṣyanti svakīyaśaktiprabhāvau paśavē dāsyanti ca|
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those with him are the called and chosen and faithful.
tē mēṣaśāvakēna sārddhaṁ yōtsyanti, kintu mēṣaśāvakastān jēṣyati yataḥ sa prabhūnāṁ prabhū rājñāṁ rājā cāsti tasya saṅginō 'pyāhūtā abhirucitā viśvāsyāśca|
15 And he says to me, The waters that thou saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
aparaṁ sa mām avadat sā vēśyā yatrōpaviśati tāni tōyāni lōkā janatā jātayō nānābhāṣāvādinaśca santi|
16 And the ten horns that thou saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her with fire.
tvayā dr̥ṣṭāni daśa śr̥ṅgāṇi paśuścēmē tāṁ vēśyām r̥tīyiṣyantē dīnāṁ nagnāñca kariṣyanti tasyā māṁsāni bhōkṣyantē vahninā tāṁ dāhayiṣyanti ca|
17 For God gave in their hearts to do his will. Even to do one will, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God would be ended.
yata īśvarasya vākyāni yāvat siddhiṁ na gamiṣyanti tāvad īśvarasya manōgataṁ sādhayitum ēkāṁ mantraṇāṁ kr̥tvā tasmai paśavē svēṣāṁ rājyaṁ dātuñca tēṣāṁ manāṁsīśvarēṇa pravarttitāni|
18 And the woman whom thou saw is the great city having reign over the kings of the earth.
aparaṁ tvayā dr̥ṣṭā yōṣit sā mahānagarī yā pr̥thivyā rājñām upari rājatvaṁ kurutē|
