Revelation 17
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on 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 sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."
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 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, 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 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
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 a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF 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 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
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 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries 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 was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and is going to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, but is to come. (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 has 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 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
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 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes 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 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
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 give their 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 war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
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 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
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 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with 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 has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
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 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns 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.
