Revelation 18
1 After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.
Apre bagay sa yo, mwen te wè yon lòt zanj k ap desann sòti nan syèl la, avèk gwo otorite, e tè a te byen klere avèk glwa li.
2 And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.
Epi li te kriye avèk yon gwo vwa, e t ap di: “Tonbe, tonbe, se Babylone Le Gran! Li gen tan vini yon kote pou dyab rete, ak yon prizon pou tout kalite lespri sal, e yon prizon pou tout kalite zwazo sal e abominab.
3 All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”
Paske tout nasyon yo te bwè diven a pasyon imoralite li a, wa latè yo te komèt zak imoralite avè l, e machann latè yo te vin rich avèk richès sansyalite li yo.”
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.
Mwen te tande yon lòt vwa soti nan syèl la ki t ap di: “Sòti kite li, pèp mwen an, pou nou pa patisipe nan peche li yo e resevwa fleyo li yo.
5 For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Paske peche li yo anpile vin menm wotè ak syèl la, e Bondye sonje tout inikite li yo.
6 Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup.
Remèt li menm jan li te bay la, e ba li anretou de fwa selon zèv li yo. Nan gode ke li te fè melanj lan, fè melanj lan otan de fwa pou li.
7 As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’
Nan degre ke li te bay tèt li glwa a e viv nan sansyalite a, nan menm degre a, toumante l, e ba li doulè. Paske li di nan kè li: “Mwen chita tankou yon rèn, mwen pa yon vèv, mwen p ap janm wè doulè.”
8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day— death and grief and famine— and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”
Pou rezon sa a, nan yon jou, fleyo li yo va vini; lapès, lapèn ak gwo grangou. E li va brile avèk dife, paske Senyè Bondye ki jije li a, pwisan.
9 Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.
“Epi wa latè yo ki te komèt zak imoralite e ki te viv selon lachè avè l yo, va kriye e lamante sou li lè yo wè lafimen monte pandan l ap brile a.
10 In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, the mighty city of Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
Y ap kanpe a yon distans akoz de pè a toumant li an, e y ap di:” ‘Malè, malè, gran vil, Babylone nan, vil ki fò a! Paske, nan yon èdtan, jijman ou gen tan rive.’
11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo—
“Konsa, machann latè yo kriye e lamante sou li paske pèsòn pa achte machandiz yo ankò.
12 cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
Machandiz lò, ajan, pyè presye, pèl, ak lèn fen, koulè mov, twal swa, wouj, tout kalite bwa sitwon ak tout kalite ivwa, tout atik ki fèt ak bwa ki koute chè, bwonz, fè, ak wòch mab.
13 of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots; of slaves and souls of men.
Epi kanèl, epis, lansan, pafen, lwil doliv, farin fen, ble, bèf, mouton, ak kago bato cheval, cha, esklav, ak lavi moun.
14 And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be seen again.”
“Fwi nou anvi yo disparèt, tout bagay ki te swa, chè oswa ekstrawòdinè yo te pase kite nou e moun p ap twouve yo ankò.
15 The merchants who sold these things and grew their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn,
Machann a bagay sa yo, ki te vin rich akoz gran vil sa a va kanpe a yon distans akoz perèz toumant li an, yo va kriye e lamante.
16 saying: “Woe, woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
Yo va di: “Malè, malè, gran vil la, sila ki te abiye an lèn fen, mov e wouj la, ki te anbeli ak lò, pyè presye, ak pèl yo;
17 For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor, and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance
Paske nan yon èdtan, gran richès sa a gen tan vin gaspiye!” Epi tout kaptenn bato ak tout pasaje, tout maren e tout sila ki fè lavi yo nan travay lanmè yo, te kanpe a yon distans.
18 and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will exclaim.
“E yo t ap kriye anmwey lè yo te wè lafimen dife li a, e t ap di: “Ki vil ki tankou gran vil sila a?”
19 Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”
Konsa, yo te jete pousyè sou tèt yo e t ap rele fò, kriye, lamante e t ap di: “Malè, malè a gran vil sa a, ladann tout moun ki te gen bato sou lanmè yo te vin rich pa richès li, paske nan yon èdtan, li vin gaspiye nèt!”
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.
“Rejwi sou li, o syèl, e nou menm, sen, apot ak pwofèt yo, paske Bondye te pwononse jijman pou nou kont li.”
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a stone the size of a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be cast down, never to be seen again.
Answit, yon zanj pwisan te pran yon gwo wòch tankou yon wòch moulen. Li te voye l nan lanmè a e te di: “Konsa, gran vil la, Babylone, va jete avèk vyolans, e li p ap twouve ankò.
22 And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will never ring out in you again. Nor will any craftsmen of any trade be found in you again, nor the sound of a millstone be heard in you again.
Konsa, son sila k ap jwe ap yo, mizisyen yo, sila k ap jwe flit ak twonpèt yo p ap tande nan ou ankò. P ap ankò gen moun okenn metye k ap twouve nan ou ankò. Ni bri moulen an p ap tande nan ou.
23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again, and the voices of a bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”
Menm limyè a yon lanp p ap briye nan ou, e vwa jennonm ak jenn fi k ap marye yo p ap tande nan ou ankò. “Paske machann ou yo te gwo moun sou latè, epi tout nasyon yo te twonpe pa wanga ou a.
24 And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.
Nan li menm te twouve san a pwofèt ak sen yo, ak tout sila ki te touye sou latè yo.”
