Revelation 18
1 After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.
tadanantaraṁ svargād avarohan apara eko dūto mayā dṛṣṭaḥ sa mahāparākramaviśiṣṭastasya tejasā ca pṛthivī dīptā|
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.
sa balavatā svareṇa vācamimām aghoṣayat patitā patitā mahābābil, sā bhūtānāṁ vasatiḥ sarvveṣām aśucyātmanāṁ kārā sarvveṣām aśucīnāṁ ghṛṇyānāñca pakṣiṇāṁ piñjaraścābhavat|
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.”
yataḥ sarvvajātīyāstasyā vyabhicārajātāṁ kopamadirāṁ pītavantaḥ pṛthivyā rājānaśca tayā saha vyabhicāraṁ kṛtavantaḥ pṛthivyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ sukhabhogabāhulyād dhanāḍhyatāṁ gatavantaḥ|
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.
tataḥ paraṁ svargāt mayāpara eṣa ravaḥ śrutaḥ, he mama prajāḥ, yūyaṁ yat tasyāḥ pāpānām aṁśino na bhavata tasyā daṇḍaiśca daṇḍayuktā na bhavata tadarthaṁ tato nirgacchata|
5 For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
yatastasyāḥ pāpāni gaganasparśānyabhavan tasyā adharmmakriyāśceśvareṇa saṁsmṛtāḥ|
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.
parān prati tayā yadvad vyavahṛtaṁ tadvat tāṁ prati vyavaharata, tasyāḥ karmmaṇāṁ dviguṇaphalāni tasyai datta, yasmin kaṁse sā parān madyam apāyayat tameva tasyāḥ pānārthaṁ dviguṇamadyena pūrayata|
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.’
tayā yātmaślāghā yaśca sukhabhogaḥ kṛtastayo rdviguṇau yātanāśokau tasyai datta, yataḥ sā svakīyāntaḥkaraṇe vadati, rājñīvad upaviṣṭāhaṁ nānāthā na ca śokavit|
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.”
tasmād divasa ekasmin mārīdurbhikṣaśocanaiḥ, sā samāploṣyate nārī dhyakṣyate vahninā ca sā; yad vicārādhipastasyā balavān prabhurīśvaraḥ,
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.
vyabhicārastayā sārddhaṁ sukhabhogaśca yaiḥ kṛtaḥ, te sarvva eva rājānastaddāhadhūmadarśanāt, prarodiṣyanti vakṣāṁsi cāhaniṣyanti bāhubhiḥ|
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.”
tasyāstai ryātanābhīte rdūre sthitvedamucyate, hā hā bābil mahāsthāna hā prabhāvānvite puri, ekasmin āgatā daṇḍe vicārājñā tvadīyakā|
11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo—
medinyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ kṛte rudanti śocanti ca yatasteṣāṁ paṇyadravyāṇi kenāpi na krīyante|
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;
phalataḥ suvarṇaraupyamaṇimuktāḥ sūkṣmavastrāṇi kṛṣṇalohitavāsāṁsi paṭṭavastrāṇi sindūravarṇavāsāṁsi candanādikāṣṭhāni gajadantena mahārghakāṣṭhena pittalalauhābhyāṁ marmmaraprastareṇa vā nirmmitāni sarvvavidhapātrāṇi
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.
tvagelā dhūpaḥ sugandhidravyaṁ gandharaso drākṣārasastailaṁ śasyacūrṇaṁ godhūmo gāvo meṣā aśvā rathā dāseyā manuṣyaprāṇāścaitāni paṇyadravyāṇi kenāpi na krīyante|
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.”
tava mano'bhilāṣasya phalānāṁ samayo gataḥ, tvatto dūrīkṛtaṁ yadyat śobhanaṁ bhūṣaṇaṁ tava, kadācana taduddeśo na puna rlapsyate tvayā|
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,
tadvikretāro ye vaṇijastayā dhanino jātāste tasyā yātanāyā bhayād dūre tiṣṭhanato rodiṣyanti śocantaścedaṁ gadiṣyanti
16 saying: “Woe, woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
hā hā mahāpuri, tvaṁ sūkṣmavastraiḥ kṛṣṇalohitavastraiḥ sindūravarṇavāsobhiścācchāditā svarṇamaṇimuktābhiralaṅkṛtā cāsīḥ,
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
kintvekasmin daṇḍe sā mahāsampad luptā| aparaṁ potānāṁ karṇadhārāḥ samūhalokā nāvikāḥ samudravyavasāyinaśca sarvve
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.
dūre tiṣṭhantastasyā dāhasya dhūmaṁ nirīkṣamāṇā uccaiḥsvareṇa vadanti tasyā mahānagaryyāḥ kiṁ tulyaṁ?
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.”
aparaṁ svaśiraḥsu mṛttikāṁ nikṣipya te rudantaḥ śocantaścoccaiḥsvareṇedaṁ vadanti hā hā yasyā mahāpuryyā bāhulyadhanakāraṇāt, sampattiḥ sañcitā sarvvaiḥ sāmudrapotanāyakaiḥ, ekasminneva daṇḍe sā sampūrṇocchinnatāṁ gatā|
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.
he svargavāsinaḥ sarvve pavitrāḥ preritāśca he| he bhāvivādino yūyaṁ kṛte tasyāḥ praharṣata| yuṣmākaṁ yat tayā sārddhaṁ yo vivādaḥ purābhavat| daṇḍaṁ samucitaṁ tasya tasyai vyataradīśvaraḥ||
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.
anantaram eko balavān dūto bṛhatpeṣaṇīprastaratulyaṁ pāṣāṇamekaṁ gṛhītvā samudre nikṣipya kathitavān, īdṛgbalaprakāśena bābil mahānagarī nipātayiṣyate tatastasyā uddeśaḥ puna rna lapsyate|
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.
vallakīvādināṁ śabdaṁ puna rna śroṣyate tvayi| gāthākānāñca śabdo vā vaṁśītūryyādivādināṁ| śilpakarmmakaraḥ ko 'pi puna rna drakṣyate tvayi| peṣaṇīprastaradhvānaḥ puna rna śroṣyate tvayi|
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.”
dīpasyāpi prabhā tadvat puna rna drakṣyate tvayi| na kanyāvarayoḥ śabdaḥ punaḥ saṁśroṣyate tvayi| yasmānmukhyāḥ pṛthivyā ye vaṇijaste'bhavan tava| yasmācca jātayaḥ sarvvā mohitāstava māyayā|
24 And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.
bhāvivādipavitrāṇāṁ yāvantaśca hatā bhuvi| sarvveṣāṁ śoṇitaṁ teṣāṁ prāptaṁ sarvvaṁ tavāntare||
