< Revelation 18 >
1 After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was bright with his glory.
tadanantaraṁ svargād avarōhan apara ēkō dūtō mayā dr̥ṣṭaḥ sa mahāparākramaviśiṣṭastasya tējasā ca pr̥thivī dīptā|
2 And he gave a loud cry, saying, Babylon the great has come down from her high place, she has come to destruction and has become a place of evil spirits, and of every unclean spirit, and a hole for every unclean and hated bird.
sa balavatā svarēṇa vācamimām aghōṣayat patitā patitā mahābābil, sā bhūtānāṁ vasatiḥ sarvvēṣām aśucyātmanāṁ kārā sarvvēṣām aśucīnāṁ ghr̥ṇyānāñca pakṣiṇāṁ piñjaraścābhavat|
3 For through the wine of the wrath of her evil desires all the nations have come to destruction; and the kings of the earth made themselves unclean with her, and the traders of the earth had their wealth increased by the power of her evil ways.
yataḥ sarvvajātīyāstasyā vyabhicārajātāṁ kōpamadirāṁ pītavantaḥ pr̥thivyā rājānaśca tayā saha vyabhicāraṁ kr̥tavantaḥ pr̥thivyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ sukhabhōgabāhulyād dhanāḍhyatāṁ gatavantaḥ|
4 And another voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Come out of her, my people, so that you may have no part in her sins and in her punishments.
tataḥ paraṁ svargāt mayāpara ēṣa ravaḥ śrutaḥ, hē mama prajāḥ, yūyaṁ yat tasyāḥ pāpānām aṁśinō na bhavata tasyā daṇḍaiśca daṇḍayuktā na bhavata tadarthaṁ tatō nirgacchata|
5 For her sins have gone up even to heaven, and God has taken note of her evil-doing.
yatastasyāḥ pāpāni gaganasparśānyabhavan tasyā adharmmakriyāścēśvarēṇa saṁsmr̥tāḥ|
6 Give to her as she gave, even an increased reward for her works; in the cup which was mixed by her, let there be mixed as much again for herself.
parān prati tayā yadvad vyavahr̥taṁ tadvat tāṁ prati vyavaharata, tasyāḥ karmmaṇāṁ dviguṇaphalāni tasyai datta, yasmin kaṁsē sā parān madyam apāyayat tamēva tasyāḥ pānārthaṁ dviguṇamadyēna pūrayata|
7 As she gave glory to herself, and became more evil in her ways, in the same measure give her pain and weeping: for she says in her heart, I am seated here a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see sorrow.
tayā yātmaślāghā yaśca sukhabhōgaḥ kr̥tastayō rdviguṇau yātanāśōkau tasyai datta, yataḥ sā svakīyāntaḥkaraṇē vadati, rājñīvad upaviṣṭāhaṁ nānāthā na ca śōkavit|
8 For this reason in one day will her troubles come, death and sorrow and need of food; and she will be completely burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who is her judge.
tasmād divasa ēkasmin mārīdurbhikṣaśōcanaiḥ, sā samāplōṣyatē nārī dhyakṣyatē vahninā ca sā; yad vicārādhipastasyā balavān prabhurīśvaraḥ,
9 And the kings of the earth, who made themselves unclean with her, and in her company gave themselves up to evil, will be weeping and crying over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
vyabhicārastayā sārddhaṁ sukhabhōgaśca yaiḥ kr̥taḥ, tē sarvva ēva rājānastaddāhadhūmadarśanāt, prarōdiṣyanti vakṣāṁsi cāhaniṣyanti bāhubhiḥ|
10 Watching from far away, for fear of her punishment, saying, Sorrow, sorrow for Babylon, the great town, the strong town! for in one hour you have been judged.
tasyāstai ryātanābhītē rdūrē sthitvēdamucyatē, hā hā bābil mahāsthāna hā prabhāvānvitē puri, ēkasmin āgatā daṇḍē vicārājñā tvadīyakā|
11 And the traders of the earth are weeping and crying over her, because no man has any more desire for their goods,
mēdinyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ kr̥tē rudanti śōcanti ca yatastēṣāṁ paṇyadravyāṇi kēnāpi na krīyantē|
12 Gold, and silver, and stones of great price, and jewels, and delicate linen, and robes of purple and silk and red; and perfumed wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of fair wood, and of brass, and iron, and stone;
phalataḥ suvarṇaraupyamaṇimuktāḥ sūkṣmavastrāṇi kr̥ṣṇalōhitavāsāṁsi paṭṭavastrāṇi sindūravarṇavāsāṁsi candanādikāṣṭhāni gajadantēna mahārghakāṣṭhēna pittalalauhābhyāṁ marmmaraprastarēṇa vā nirmmitāni sarvvavidhapātrāṇi
13 And sweet-smelling plants, and perfumes, and wine, and oil, and well crushed grain, and cattle and sheep; and horses and carriages and servants; and souls of men.
tvagēlā dhūpaḥ sugandhidravyaṁ gandharasō drākṣārasastailaṁ śasyacūrṇaṁ gōdhūmō gāvō mēṣā aśvā rathā dāsēyā manuṣyaprāṇāścaitāni paṇyadravyāṇi kēnāpi na krīyantē|
14 And the fruit of your soul's desire has gone from you, and all things delicate and shining have come to an end and will never again be seen.
tava manō'bhilāṣasya phalānāṁ samayō gataḥ, tvattō dūrīkr̥taṁ yadyat śōbhanaṁ bhūṣaṇaṁ tava, kadācana taduddēśō na puna rlapsyatē tvayā|
15 The traders in these things, by which their wealth was increased, will be watching far off for fear of her punishment, weeping and crying;
tadvikrētārō yē vaṇijastayā dhaninō jātāstē tasyā yātanāyā bhayād dūrē tiṣṭhanatō rōdiṣyanti śōcantaścēdaṁ gadiṣyanti
16 Saying, Sorrow, sorrow for the great town, she who was clothed in delicate linen, and purple, and red; with ornaments of gold and stones of great price and jewels!
hā hā mahāpuri, tvaṁ sūkṣmavastraiḥ kr̥ṣṇalōhitavastraiḥ sindūravarṇavāsōbhiścācchāditā svarṇamaṇimuktābhiralaṅkr̥tā cāsīḥ,
17 For in one hour such great wealth has come to nothing. And every shipmaster, and all who are sailing on the sea, and sailors and all who get their living by the sea, were watching from far away,
kintvēkasmin daṇḍē sā mahāsampad luptā| aparaṁ pōtānāṁ karṇadhārāḥ samūhalōkā nāvikāḥ samudravyavasāyinaśca sarvvē
18 And crying out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What town is like the great town?
dūrē tiṣṭhantastasyā dāhasya dhūmaṁ nirīkṣamāṇā uccaiḥsvarēṇa vadanti tasyā mahānagaryyāḥ kiṁ tulyaṁ?
19 And they put dust on their heads, and were sad, weeping and crying, and saying, Sorrow, sorrow for the great town, in which was increased the wealth of all who had their ships on the sea because of her great stores! for in one hour she is made waste.
aparaṁ svaśiraḥsu mr̥ttikāṁ nikṣipya tē rudantaḥ śōcantaścōccaiḥsvarēṇēdaṁ vadanti hā hā yasyā mahāpuryyā bāhulyadhanakāraṇāt, sampattiḥ sañcitā sarvvaiḥ sāmudrapōtanāyakaiḥ, ēkasminnēva daṇḍē sā sampūrṇōcchinnatāṁ gatā|
20 Be glad over her, heaven, and you saints, and Apostles, and prophets; because she has been judged by God on your account.
hē svargavāsinaḥ sarvvē pavitrāḥ prēritāśca hē| hē bhāvivādinō yūyaṁ kr̥tē tasyāḥ praharṣata| yuṣmākaṁ yat tayā sārddhaṁ yō vivādaḥ purābhavat| daṇḍaṁ samucitaṁ tasya tasyai vyataradīśvaraḥ||
21 And a strong angel took up a stone like the great stone with which grain is crushed, and sent it into the sea, saying, So, with a great fall, will Babylon, the great town, come to destruction, and will not be seen any more at all.
anantaram ēkō balavān dūtō br̥hatpēṣaṇīprastaratulyaṁ pāṣāṇamēkaṁ gr̥hītvā samudrē nikṣipya kathitavān, īdr̥gbalaprakāśēna bābil mahānagarī nipātayiṣyatē tatastasyā uddēśaḥ puna rna lapsyatē|
22 And the voice of players and makers of music will never again be sounding in you: and no worker, expert in art, will ever again be living in you; and there will be no sound of the crushing of grain any more at all in you;
vallakīvādināṁ śabdaṁ puna rna śrōṣyatē tvayi| gāthākānāñca śabdō vā vaṁśītūryyādivādināṁ| śilpakarmmakaraḥ kō 'pi puna rna drakṣyatē tvayi| pēṣaṇīprastaradhvānaḥ puna rna śrōṣyatē tvayi|
23 And never again will the shining of lights be seen in you; and the voice of the newly-married man and the bride will never again be sounding in you: for your traders were the lords of the earth, and by your evil powers were all the nations turned out of the right way.
dīpasyāpi prabhā tadvat puna rna drakṣyatē tvayi| na kanyāvarayōḥ śabdaḥ punaḥ saṁśrōṣyatē tvayi| yasmānmukhyāḥ pr̥thivyā yē vaṇijastē'bhavan tava| yasmācca jātayaḥ sarvvā mōhitāstava māyayā|
24 And in her was seen the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been put to death on the earth.
bhāvivādipavitrāṇāṁ yāvantaśca hatā bhuvi| sarvvēṣāṁ śōṇitaṁ tēṣāṁ prāptaṁ sarvvaṁ tavāntarē||
