Revelation 17
1 And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven bowls, and he spoke with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show to you the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting on the many waters,
Lè sa a, yonn nan sèt zanj ki te kenbe sèt gode yo vin di mwen: Vini non. Mwen pral fè ou wè ki jan yo pral peni gwo jennès la, gwo lavil ki bati nan mitan gwo dlo yo.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed whoredom; and those inhabiting the earth were made drunk from the wine of her whoredom”;
Wa latè yo lage kò yo nan dezòd avè l': Tout moun ki rete sou latè te sou ak diven movèz vi li a.
3 and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of slander, having seven heads and ten horns,
Nan vizyon an, mwen wè zanj lan pote m' ale nan yon dezè. La, mwen wè yon fanm ki te chita sou yon bèt tou wouj. Bèt la te gen sèt tèt ak dis kòn. Tout kò l' te kouvri ak mo ki te jouman pou Bondye.
4 and the woman was clothed with purple and scarlet-color, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,
Fanm lan te gen yon rad swa mòv ak wouj san sou li. Li te chaje ak bijou fèt an lò, ak piè tout koulè ansanm ak bèl grenn pèl. Li te kenbe nan men l' yon gode fèt an lò ki te plen ak madichon ansanm ak vie bagay sal lavi jennès li a.
5 and on her forehead was a name written: “SECRET, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES, AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Te gen yon non ekri sou fwon li ki te gen yon sans kache: Gwo Babilòn, manman jennès yo ansanm ak tout bagay sal k'ap fèt sou latè.
6 And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the holy ones, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I wondered—having seen her—with great wonder;
Mwen wè fanm lan te sou tèlman li te bwè san moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo ak san tout moun yo te touye paske yo te pran pozisyon pou Jezi. Lè m' wè l', mwen te sezi anpil.
7 and the messenger said to me, “For this reason did you wonder? I will tell you the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Men, zanj lan di mwen: Poukisa ou sezi konsa? Mwen pral ba ou yon sekrè, mwen pral fè ou konnen ki sans pou ou bay fanm lan ansanm ak bèt k'ap pòte l' la, bèt ki gen sèt tèt ak dis kòn lan.
8 The beast that you saw: it was, and it is not, and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and those dwelling on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written on the Scroll of Life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. (Abyssos g12)
Bèt ou wè a te vivan yon lè. Koulye a li pa vivan ankò. Li gen pou l' moute soti nan gwo twou san fon an, apre sa pou li al mouri nèt. Moun ki rete sou latè ki pa t' gen non yo ekri depi lè Bondye t'ap kreye tout bagay nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a, yo pral sezi anpil lè y'a wè bèt la. Paske li te vivan nan tan lontan, koulye a li pa la, men li gen pou l' parèt ankò. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,
Se koulye a pou moun fè wè yo gen lespri ak bon konprann. Sèt tèt yo, se sèt ti mòn kote fanm lan chita a. Se sèt wa tou yo ye.
10 and there are seven kings, the five fell, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it is necessary for him to remain a short time;
Senk ladan yo gen tan tonbe, yonn ap gouvènen koulye a, dènye a poko vini. Lè la vini, li p'ap la pou lontan.
11 and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and he is out of the seven, and he goes away to destruction.
Bèt la menm ki te vivan nan tan lontan men ki pa la koulye a, se yon witièm wa. Li fè yonn ak sèt premie yo, li pral fin pèdi tèt li nèt.
12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who did not yet receive a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast;
Dis kòn ou wè yo, se dis lòt wa ki poko konmanse gouvènen. Men, y'ap resevwa pouvwa pou yo gouvènen tankou wa pandan yon ti tan ansanm ak bèt la.
13 these have one mind, and they will give over their own power and authority to the beast;
Yo toulèdis gen menm lide nan tèt yo, y'ap renmèt pouvwa yo ak otorite yo bay bèt la.
14 these will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those with Him are called, and chosen, and steadfast.”
Y'a goumen kont ti Mouton an. Men, ti Mouton an va kraze yo, paske li Chèf tout chèf, li Wa tout wa. Li va kraze yo avèk moun pa l' yo, moun Bondye te rele, moun li te chwazi, moun ki kenbe fèm ak li.
15 And he says to me, “The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;
Zanj lan di m' ankò: Ou te wè jennès la chita nan mitan anpil gwo dlo. Dlo sa yo se pèp, se foul moun, yon bann nasyon ki pale tout lang.
16 and the ten horns that you saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her in fire,
Dis kòn ou te wè ansanm ak bèt la, yo pral rayi fanm movèz vi a: y'a pran tou sa l' genyen, y'a kite l' toutouni, y'a manje viann li, y'a boule l' nan dife.
17 for God gave into their hearts to do His purpose, and to make one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the sayings of God may be fulfilled,
Bondye mete nan kè yo lide pou yo fè sa li menm li vle, pou yo tout tonbe dakò fè menm bagay, pou yo renmèt pouvwa yo kòm wa nan men bèt la, jouk tan pawòl Bondye yo va rive vre.
18 and the woman that you saw is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the earth.”
Pou fini, fanm ou te wè a, sè gwo lavil k'ap donminen sou tout wa ki sou latè yo.
