Revelation 17
1 Then there came one of the seuen Angels, which had the seuen vials, and talked with me, saying vnto me, Come: I will shewe thee the damnation of the great whore that sitteth vpon many waters,
tadanantaraṁ tēṣāṁ saptakaṁsadhāriṇāṁ saptadūtānām ēka āgatya māṁ sambhāṣyāvadat, atrāgaccha, mēdinyā narapatayō yayā vēśyayā sārddhaṁ vyabhicārakarmma kr̥tavantaḥ,
2 With whom haue committed fornication the Kings of the earth, and the inhabitants of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication.
yasyā vyabhicāramadēna ca pr̥thivīnivāsinō mattā abhavan tasyā bahutōyēṣūpaviṣṭāyā mahāvēśyāyā daṇḍam ahaṁ tvāṁ darśayāmi|
3 So he caried me away into the wildernesse in the Spirit, and I sawe a woman sit vpon a skarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemie, which had seuen heads, and tenne hornes.
tatō 'ham ātmanāviṣṭastēna dūtēna prāntaraṁ nītastatra nindānāmabhiḥ paripūrṇaṁ saptaśirōbhi rdaśaśr̥ṅgaiśca viśiṣṭaṁ sindūravarṇaṁ paśumupaviṣṭā yōṣidēkā mayā dr̥ṣṭā|
4 And the woman was arayed in purple and skarlet, and gilded with golde, and precious stones, and pearles, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthines of her fornication.
sā nārī kr̥ṣṇalōhitavarṇaṁ sindūravarṇañca paricchadaṁ dhārayati svarṇamaṇimuktābhiśca vibhūṣitāsti tasyāḥ karē ghr̥ṇārhadravyaiḥ svavyabhicārajātamalaiśca paripūrṇa ēkaḥ suvarṇamayaḥ kaṁsō vidyatē|
5 And in her forehead was a name written, A mysterie, that great Babylon, that mother of whoredomes, and abominations of the earth.
tasyā bhālē nigūḍhavākyamidaṁ pr̥thivīsthavēśyānāṁ ghr̥ṇyakriyāṇāñca mātā mahābābiliti nāma likhitam āstē|
6 And I sawe ye woman drunken with the blood of Saintes, and with the blood of the Martyrs of IESVS: and when I sawe her, I wondred with great marueile.
mama dr̥ṣṭigōcarasthā sā nārī pavitralōkānāṁ rudhirēṇa yīśōḥ sākṣiṇāṁ rudhirēṇa ca mattāsīt tasyā darśanāt mamātiśayam āścaryyajñānaṁ jātaṁ|
7 Then the Angel saide vnto me, Wherefore marueilest thou? I will shewe thee the misterie of that woman, and of that beast, that beareth her, which hath seuen heads, and tenne hornes.
tataḥ sa dūtō mām avadat kutastavāścaryyajñānaṁ jāyatē? asyā yōṣitastadvāhanasya saptaśirōbhi rdaśaśr̥ṅgaiśca yuktasya paśōśca nigūḍhabhāvam ahaṁ tvāṁ jñāpayāmi|
8 The beast that thou hast seene, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomles pit, and shall goe into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth, shall wonder (whose names are not written in the booke of life from the foundation of ye world) when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)
tvayā dr̥ṣṭō 'sau paśurāsīt nēdānīṁ varttatē kintu rasātalāt tēnōdētavyaṁ vināśaśca gantavyaḥ| tatō yēṣāṁ nāmāni jagataḥ sr̥ṣṭikālam ārabhya jīvanapustakē likhitāni na vidyantē tē pr̥thivīnivāsinō bhūtam avarttamānamupasthāsyantañca taṁ paśuṁ dr̥ṣṭvāścaryyaṁ maṁsyantē| (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that hath wisdome. The seuen heads, are seuen mountaines, whereon the woman sitteth: they are also seuen Kings.
atra jñānayuktayā buddhyā prakāśitavyaṁ| tāni saptaśirāṁsi tasyā yōṣita upavēśanasthānasvarūpāḥ saptagirayaḥ sapta rājānaśca santi|
10 Fiue are fallen, and one is, and another is not yet come: and when he commeth, he must continue a short space.
tēṣāṁ pañca patitā ēkaśca varttamānaḥ śēṣaścādyāpyanupasthitaḥ sa yadōpasthāsyati tadāpi tēnālpakālaṁ sthātavyaṁ|
11 And the beast that was, and is not, is euen the eight, and is one of the seuen, and shall goe into destruction.
yaḥ paśurāsīt kintvidānīṁ na varttatē sa ēvāṣṭamaḥ, sa saptānām ēkō 'sti vināśaṁ gamiṣyati ca|
12 And the tenne hornes which thou sawest, are tenne Kings, which yet haue not receiued a kingdome, but shall receiue power, as Kings at one houre with the beast.
tvayā dr̥ṣṭāni daśaśr̥ṅgāṇyapi daśa rājānaḥ santiḥ, adyāpi tai rājyaṁ na prāptaṁ kintu muhūrttamēkaṁ yāvat paśunā sārddhaṁ tē rājāna iva prabhutvaṁ prāpsyanti|
13 These haue one minde, and shall giue their power, and authoritie vnto the beast.
ta ēkamantraṇā bhaviṣyanti svakīyaśaktiprabhāvau paśavē dāsyanti ca|
14 These shall fight with the Lambe, and the Lambe shall ouercome them: for he is Lord of Lordes, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithfull.
tē mēṣaśāvakēna sārddhaṁ yōtsyanti, kintu mēṣaśāvakastān jēṣyati yataḥ sa prabhūnāṁ prabhū rājñāṁ rājā cāsti tasya saṅginō 'pyāhūtā abhirucitā viśvāsyāśca|
15 And he said vnto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
aparaṁ sa mām avadat sā vēśyā yatrōpaviśati tāni tōyāni lōkā janatā jātayō nānābhāṣāvādinaśca santi|
16 And the tenne hornes which thou sawest vpon the beast, are they that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eate her flesh, and burne her with fire.
tvayā dr̥ṣṭāni daśa śr̥ṅgāṇi paśuścēmē tāṁ vēśyām r̥tīyiṣyantē dīnāṁ nagnāñca kariṣyanti tasyā māṁsāni bhōkṣyantē vahninā tāṁ dāhayiṣyanti ca|
17 For God hath put in their heartes to fulfill his will, and to doe with one consent for to giue their kingdome vnto the beast, vntill the wordes of God be fulfilled.
yata īśvarasya vākyāni yāvat siddhiṁ na gamiṣyanti tāvad īśvarasya manōgataṁ sādhayitum ēkāṁ mantraṇāṁ kr̥tvā tasmai paśavē svēṣāṁ rājyaṁ dātuñca tēṣāṁ manāṁsīśvarēṇa pravarttitāni|
18 And that woman which thou sawest, is that great citie, which reigneth ouer the kings of ye earth.
aparaṁ tvayā dr̥ṣṭā yōṣit sā mahānagarī yā pr̥thivyā rājñām upari rājatvaṁ kurutē|
