Revelation 17
1 Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn angẹli méje náà tí ó ní ìgò méje wọ̀n-ọn-nì sì wá, ó sì ba mi sọ̀rọ̀ wí pé, “Wá níhìn-ín; èmi ó sì fi ìdájọ́ àgbèrè ńlá ní tí ó jókòó lórí omi púpọ̀ han ọ,
2 The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.”
ẹni tí àwọn ọba ayé bá ṣe àgbèrè, tí a sì fi ọtí wáìnì àgbèrè rẹ̀ pa àwọn tí ń gbé inú ayé.”
3 And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
Ó sì gbé mi nínú ẹ̀mí lọ sí aginjù: mo sì rí obìnrin kan ó jókòó lórí ẹranko aláwọ̀ òdòdó kan tí ó kún fún orúkọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, ó ní orí méje àti ìwo mẹ́wàá.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
A sì fi aṣọ elése àlùkò àti aṣọ òdòdó wọ obìnrin náà, a sì fi wúrà àti òkúta iyebíye àti perli ṣe é ní ọ̀ṣọ́, ó ní ago wúrà kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, tí ó kún fún ìríra àti fún ẹ̀gbin àgbèrè rẹ̀;
5 And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
àti níwájú rẹ̀ ni orúkọ kan tí a kọ: Ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ Babeli ńlá ìyá àwọn panṣágà àti àwọn ohun ìríra ayé.
6 I could see that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and witnesses for Jesus. And I was utterly amazed at the sight of her.
Mo sì rí obìnrin náà mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ajẹ́rìí ikú Jesu ní àmuyó. Nígbà tí mo sì rí i, ẹnu yà mi gidigidi.
7 “Why are you so amazed?” said the angel. “I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
Angẹli sì wí fún mi pé, “Nítorí kí ni ẹnu ṣe yà ọ́? Èmi ó sọ ti ìjìnlẹ̀ obìnrin náà fún ọ, àti ti ẹranko tí ó gùn, ti ó ní orí méje àti ìwo mẹ́wàá.
8 The beast that you saw—it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. And those who dwell on the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet will be. (Abyssos g12)
Ẹranko tí ìwọ ri nì, o ti wà, kò sì ṣí mọ́, yóò sì ti inú ọ̀gbun gòkè wá, yóò sì lọ sínú ìparun rẹ. Àwọn olùgbé ayé ti a kọ orúkọ wọn sínú ìwé iye láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé, nígbà tí wọn ń wò ẹranko tí o ti wà, tí kò sì ṣí mọ́, tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá, ẹnu si ya wọn. (Abyssos g12)
9 This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
“Níhìn-ín ni ìtumọ̀ tí o ní ọgbọ́n wà. Orí méje ni òkè ńlá méje ni, lórí èyí tí obìnrin náà jókòó.
10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.
Ọba méje sì ní wọn: àwọn márùn-ún ṣubú, ọ̀kan ń bẹ, ọ̀kan ìyókù kò sì tí ì dé; nígbà tí ó bá sì dé, yóò dúró fún ìgbà kúkúrú.
11 The beast that was, and now is not, is an eighth king, who belongs to the other seven and is going into destruction.
Ẹranko tí ó sì ti wà, tí kò sì ṣí, òun náà sì ni ẹ̀kẹjọ, ó sì ti inú àwọn méje náà wá, ó sì lọ sí ìparun.
12 The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings, along with the beast.
“Ìwo mẹ́wàá tí ìwọ sì rí ni ọba mẹ́wàá ni wọn, tí wọn kò ì ti gba ìjọba; ṣùgbọ́n wọn gba àṣẹ bí ọba pẹ̀lú ẹranko náà fún wákàtí kan.
13 These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí ní inú kan, wọ́n yóò sì fi agbára àti ọlá wọn fún ẹranko náà.
14 They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”
Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni yóò si máa bá Ọ̀dọ́-Àgùntàn jagun, Ọ̀dọ́-Àgùntàn náà yóò sì ṣẹ́gun wọn: nítorí òun ni Olúwa àwọn Olúwa, àti ọba àwọn ọba: àwọn tí ó sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, tí a pè, tí a yàn, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun pẹ̀lú.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute was seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Àwọn omi tí ìwọ ti rí ni, níbi tí àgbèrè náà jókòó, àwọn ènìyàn àti ẹ̀yà àti orílẹ̀ àti onírúurú èdè ni wọ́n.
16 And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
Àti ìwo mẹ́wàá tí ìwọ rí, àti ẹranko náà, àwọn wọ̀nyí ni yóò kórìíra àgbèrè náà, wọn ó sì sọ ọ́ di ahoro àti ẹni ìhòhò, wọn ó sì jẹ ẹran-ara rẹ̀, wọn ó sì fi iná sun ún pátápátá.
17 For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
Nítorí Ọlọ́run ti fi sínú ọkàn wọn láti mú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣẹ, láti ní inú kan, àti láti fi ìjọba wọn fún ẹranko náà, títí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run yóò fi ṣẹ.
18 And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
Obìnrin tí ìwọ rí ní ìlú ńlá ni, tí ń jẹ ọba lórí àwọn ọba ilẹ̀ ayé.”
