Revelation 18
1 After these things I saw another angel descending out of the heaven, having great authority: and the earth was lightened with 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 with a strong voice, saying, Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and has become the 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 of the wine of the fury of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have been enriched through the might of her luxury.
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 out of the heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye have not fellowship in her sins, and that ye do not receive of 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 for her sins have been heaped on one another up to the heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses.
因为她罪恶滔天，上帝发现了她的邪恶。
6 Recompense her even as she has recompensed; and double [to her] double, according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix to her double.
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 So much as she has glorified herself and lived luxuriously, so much torment and grief give to her. Because she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow; and I shall in no wise 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 for this reason in one day shall her plagues come, death and grief and famine, and she shall be burnt with fire; for strong [is the] Lord God who has 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 have committed fornication, and lived luxuriously with her, shall weep and wail over 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 standing afar off, through fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour thy judgment is come.
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 weep and grieve over her, because no one buys their lading 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 lading of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet dye, and all thyine wood, and every article in ivory, and every article in most precious wood, and in brass, and in iron, and in 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 amomum, and incense, and unguent, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of 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 ripe fruits which were the lust of thy soul have departed from thee, and all fair and splendid things have perished from thee, and they shall not find them any more at all.
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 had been enriched through her, shall stand afar off through fear of her torment, weeping and grieving,
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 saying, Woe, woe, the great city, which [was] clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold and precious stones 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 for in one hour so great riches has been made desolate. And every steersman, and every one who sailed to any place, and sailors, and all who exercise their calling on the sea, stood afar off,
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, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city] is like to 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 cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and grieving, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all that had ships in the sea were enriched through her costliness! for in one hour she has been made desolate.
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 Rejoice over her, heaven, and [ye] saints and apostles and prophets; for God has judged your judgment upon 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 a strong angel took up a stone, as a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be cast down, and shall be found no more at all;
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 voice of harp-singers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters shall not be heard any more at all in thee, and no artificer of any art shall be found any more at all in thee, and voice of millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee,
“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 light of lamp shall shine no more at all in thee, and voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery have all the nations been deceived.
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 [the] blood of prophets and saints, and of all the slain 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。”
