Revelation 18
1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
此後，我看見另有一位有大權柄的天使從天降下，地就因他的榮耀發光。
2 He shouted with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean and detestable beast.
他大聲喊着說： 巴比倫大城傾倒了！傾倒了！ 成了鬼魔的住處 和各樣污穢之靈的巢穴， 並各樣污穢可憎之雀鳥的巢穴。
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."
因為列國都被她邪淫大怒的酒傾倒了。 地上的君王與她行淫； 地上的客商因她奢華太過就發了財。
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues,
我又聽見從天上有聲音說： 我的民哪，你們要從那城出來， 免得與她一同有罪，受她所受的災殃；
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
因她的罪惡滔天； 她的不義，上帝已經想起來了。
6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
她怎樣待人，也要怎樣待她， 按她所行的加倍地報應她； 用她調酒的杯加倍地調給她喝。
7 However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'
她怎樣榮耀自己，怎樣奢華， 也當叫她照樣痛苦悲哀， 因她心裏說： 我坐了皇后的位， 並不是寡婦， 決不至於悲哀。
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
所以在一天之內， 她的災殃要一齊來到， 就是死亡、悲哀、饑荒。 她又要被火燒盡了， 因為審判她的主上帝大有能力。
9 The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
地上的君王，素來與她行淫、一同奢華的，看見燒她的煙，就必為她哭泣哀號。
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city. For your judgment has come in one hour.'
因怕她的痛苦，就遠遠地站着說：哀哉！哀哉！ 巴比倫大城，堅固的城啊， 一時之間你的刑罰就來到了。
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;
地上的客商也都為她哭泣悲哀，因為沒有人再買他們的貨物了；
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of bronze, and iron, and marble;
這貨物就是金、銀、寶石、珍珠、細麻布、紫色料、綢子、朱紅色料、各樣香木、各樣象牙的器皿、各樣極寶貴的木頭，和銅、鐵、漢白玉的器皿，
13 and cinnamon, spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves and human lives.
並肉桂、荳蔻、香料、香膏、乳香、酒、油、細麵、麥子、牛、羊、車、馬，和奴僕、人口。
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were luxury and splendor have perished from you, and you will never ever find them again.
巴比倫哪，你所貪愛的果子離開了你； 你一切的珍饈美味 和華美的物件也從你中間毀滅， 決不能再見了。
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
販賣這些貨物、藉着她發了財的客商，因怕她的痛苦，就遠遠地站着哭泣悲哀，說：
16 saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls.
哀哉！哀哉！這大城啊， 素常穿着細麻、 紫色、朱紅色的衣服， 又用金子、寶石，和珍珠為妝飾。
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
一時之間，這麼大的富厚就歸於無有了。 凡船主和坐船往各處去的，並眾水手，連所有靠海為業的，都遠遠地站着，
18 and exclaimed as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'
看見燒她的煙，就喊着說：「有何城能比這大城呢？」
19 They cast dust on their heads, and shouting, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth.' For in one hour is she made desolate.
他們又把塵土撒在頭上，哭泣悲哀，喊着說： 哀哉！哀哉！這大城啊。 凡有船在海中的，都因她的珍寶成了富足！ 她在一時之間就成了荒場！
20 "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."
天哪，眾聖徒、眾使徒、眾先知啊， 你們都要因她歡喜， 因為上帝已經在她身上伸了你們的冤。
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
有一位大力的天使舉起一塊石頭，好像大磨石，扔在海裏，說： 巴比倫大城也必這樣猛力地被扔下去， 決不能再見了。
22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
彈琴、作樂、吹笛、吹號的聲音， 在你中間決不能再聽見； 各行手藝人在你中間決不能再遇見； 推磨的聲音在你中間決不能再聽見；
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
燈光在你中間決不能再照耀； 新郎和新婦的聲音，在你中間決不能再聽見。 你的客商原來是地上的尊貴人； 萬國也被你的邪術迷惑了。
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
先知和聖徒，並地上一切被殺之人的血，都在這城裏看見了。
