Revelation 18
1 And after these things I saw another agent coming down out of heaven having great authority, and the earth was illuminated from his glory.
这之后，我看见另一位天使从天而降，他拥有伟大的权力，他的荣耀照亮了大地。
2 And he cried out in a mighty voice, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, and became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hated bird.
他用强有力的声音呼喊：“伟大的巴比伦倾倒为废墟！她已成为恶魔的住处，各样污灵的庇护所，一和一切不洁可憎之鸟的栖息地。
3 Because all the nations have drunk from the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her wantonness.
因为各国都喝了她淫乱烈怒的酒，喝醉了；地上的君王与她行淫，世上的商人因她的挥霍发了财。”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out from her, my people, so that ye may not participate with her sins, and that ye may not receive from her plagues.
我听见天上传来另一个声音，说：“从那城出来吧，我的子民！免得她的罪你们也有分，受她所受的灾难；
5 Because her sins have reached as far as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
因为她罪恶滔天，上帝发现了她的邪恶。
6 Render to her as she also rendered to you, and double to her two-fold according to her works. In the cup that she mixed, mix two-fold for her.
她怎样待人，你们也要怎样待她；按照她的行为加倍报应她；按照她的酒杯，将加倍的痛苦调给她。
7 In an amount she glorified herself and lived wantonly, give her so much torment and grief, because she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will, no, not see grief.
就像她对自己的吹嘘和放纵自己的欲望一样，给她的回报也是一样的痛苦和悲伤。。她告诉自己：‘我如女王统治，我不是寡妇，决不会感到悲伤。’
8 Because of this her plagues will come in one day, death, and grief, and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, because strong is the Lord, the God who judged her.
因为只需一天，她的灾难必然来到，那就是死亡、悲哀和饥荒；她还要被火中摧毁，因为谴责她的主上帝是有着巨大的能力。
9 And the kings of the earth who fornicated and lived wantonly with her, will weep and will beat their breasts for her when they see the smoke of her burning,
地上的众王跟她一同行邪淫, 骄奢无度，看见焚烧她的烟，就会为她痛哭捶胸。
10 having stood from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! Because thy judgment has come in one hour.
他们害怕会遭受她所受的痛苦，所以远远站着，说：‘灾难！灾难！灾难降临这伟大的城市巴比伦。只需一小时，您的审判就实行了！’
11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her, because no man buys their merchandise any more,
地上的商人也为她悲哀痛哭，因为没有人再买他们的货物：
12 merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every ivory vessel, and every vessel of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
金、银、宝石、珍珠；细麻布、紫色布、丝绸、红色材料；各样香木制品，各样象牙制品，各样贵重木器、铜器、铁器、大理石制品；
13 and cinnamon, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and olive oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and sheep, and cattle, and horses, and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
肉桂、香料、焚香、乳香；酒、橄榄油、面粉、麦子；牛、羊、马、车、奴仆和囚犯。
14 And the fruit of the lust of thy soul have departed from thee. And all the fat and bright things are destroyed from thee. And thou will, no, not find them any more.
你失去了最喜爱的甜蜜快乐！一切奢华闪亮的财富都从你那里消失，再也找不到了！
15 The merchants of these things who became rich from her will stand from afar because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
贩卖这些货物、借着她发财的商人，因为害怕会遭受她受的痛苦，就远远地站着。他们哭喊着、悲伤着，说
16 and saying, Alas, alas, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls!
‘灾难！灾难降临了这伟大城市！她穿着细麻布紫色长袍，佩戴金子、宝石和珍珠的珠宝，
17 Because in one hour such great wealth was devastated. And every shipmaster, and every man who sails anywhere, and sailors, and as many as work by sea, stood from afar
只一小时，所有这些财富竟荡然无存！’每个船长、每个海上旅客和水手、以及每个靠海谋生的，都远远地站着。
18 and cried out seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like the great city?
摧毁她的火焰飘出烟，他们看到了，就喊叫说：‘有哪座城能与这伟大的城相比？’
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, Alas, alas, the great city in which all who had ships in the sea became rich from her luxuriance! Because in one hour she was devastated.
他们把尘土撒在自己头上，痛哭悲哀，喊着说：‘灾难！因为她的奢侈，灾难打击了这让船主富有的伟大城市！只一小时，她就被摧毁了！’
20 Be glad over her, thou heaven, and the sanctified, and the apostles, and the prophets, because God has decreed your judgment of her.
天堂、众信徒、众使徒和众先知，庆祝她所发生的事，因为上帝审判她的方式就像审判你一样。”
21 And one mighty agent took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus in violence Babylon the great city will be thrown down, and will, no, not be found any more.
一位强大的天使，把一块好像磨石一样的石头举起来，拋入海里，说：“伟大的巴比伦城也会被这暴力拋下去，再也不存在。”
22 And a sound of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters will, no, not be heard in thee any more. And every craftsman of every craft will, no, not be found in thee any more. And a sound of a millstone will, no, not be heard in thee any more.
“你们再也不会听到音乐了，竖琴、歌手、长笛和号角。再也不会有任何行业的工匠在你这里工作。在你身上再也听不到磨坊磨出面粉的声音了。
23 And the light of a lamp will, no, not shine in thee any more. And a voice of a bridegroom and of a bride will, no, not be heard in thee any more. Because thy merchants were the chief men of the earth, because all the nations were led astray by thy enchantments.
你们再也不会有灯的亮光照耀了。你们再也听不到新郎新娘的声音了。你们这些商人领导这个世界，所有国家都因你们的邪术受了迷惑。。
24 And in her was found blood of prophets, and of the sanctified, and of all who have been killed upon the earth.
在这个城市中，能找到先知、信徒和地上一切被杀之人的血。”
