Revelation 17
1 Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls came and spoke to me. ‘Come here,’ he said, ‘and I will show you the sentence passed on that Great Harlot who is seated at the meeting of many waters,
In prišel je eden iz sedmerih angelov, imajočih sedmere čaše, in govoril je z menoj, rekoč mi: Sem! pokažem ti sodbo kurbe vélike, sedeče ob mnogih vodah;
2 and with whom all the kings of the earth have had licentious intercourse; while all who live on the earth have been make drunk by the wine of her licentiousness.’
S katero so se kurbali kralji zemeljski, in upijanili so se z vinom kurbarije njene zemlje prebivalci.
3 And he bore me away in a trance to a lonely place, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet Beast, which was covered with blasphemous names; it had seven heads and ten horns.
In odnese me v puščavo v duhu; in videl sem ženo sedečo na zveri škrlatni, polni imen preklinjanja, imajoči sedem glav in rogov deset.
4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold ornaments, precious stones, and pearls. In her hand she held a gold cup, full of idolatrous abominations, and the unclean fruits of her licentiousness;
In žena oblečena z bagrom in škrlatom in pozlačena sè zlatom in dragim kamenjem in biseri, imajoč zlato čašo v roki svoji, polno gnjusob in nečistosti kurbarije svoje,
5 while on her forehead there was written this mystic name – ‘BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF ALL IDOLATROUS ABOMINATIONS ON EARTH.’
In na čelu svojem ime zapisano: Skrivnost, Babilon véliki, mati kurb in gnjusob zemlje!
6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of Christ’s people and with the blood of the martyrs for Jesus. When I saw her, I was amazed beyond measure;
In videl sem ženo pijano krvi svetnikov, in krvi pričevalcev Jezusovih; in čudil sem se, videč jo, čudom silnim.
7 but the angel said to me – ‘Why were you amazed? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the vision of this woman, and of the Beast, with the seven heads and ten horns, that carries her.
In reče mi angelj: Zakaj se čudiš? Jaz ti povem skrivnost žene in zveri, katera jo nosi, katera ima sedem glav in rogov deset.
8 The Beast that you saw was, but is not, and is about to rise out of the bottomless pit, and is on its way to destruction. Those who are living on earth will be amazed – those whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world – when they see that the Beast was, but is not, and yet will come.’ (Abyssos g12)
Zver, katero si videl, bila je, in ni je, in priti ima gor iz brezna in iti v pogubo. In čudili se bodo prebivalci na zemlji, (katerih imena niso zapisana v knjigi življenja od ustanovitve sveta), gledajoč zver, katera je bila in je ni, dasi je. (Abyssos g12)
9 (Here there is need for the discerning mind.) The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated.
Tukaj razum, kateri ima modrost. Sedmere glave so sedem gorâ, kjer žena sedí na njih, in so kraljev sedem.
10 They are also seven kings; of whom five have fallen and one remains, while one is not yet come. When he comes, he must stay for a little while.
Pet jih je padlo in eden je, drugi ni še prišel; in kader pride, sme malo časa ostati.
11 So must the Beast that was, but is not. He counts as an eighth king, although he is one of the seven, and is on his way to destruction.
In zver, katera je bila in je ni, je sam osmi, in je izmed sedmerih in gre v pogubo.
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms, but for an hour they receive the authority of kings, together with the Beast.
In deseteri rogovi, katere si videl, so deset kraljev, kateri še niso prejeli kraljestva, ali oblast kakor kralji prejmó eno uro sè zverjo.
13 These kings are of one mind in surrendering their power and authority to the Beast.
Ti imajo eno misel, in moč in oblast svojo izročé zveri.
14 They will fight with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; so, too, will those with him who have received the call and are chosen and faithful.
Ti se bodo vojskovali z jagnjetom, in jagnje jih bode zmagalo, ker je gospodov Gospod in kraljev Kralj, in z njim poklicani in izvoljeni in zvesti.
15 And the angel said to me – ‘The waters that you saw, where the Harlot is seated, are throngs of people and men of all nations and languages.
In govori mi: Vode, katere si videl, kjer kurba sedí, ljudstva so in druhali, in narodi in jeziki.
16 The ten horns that you saw, and the Beast – they will hate the Harlot, and cause her to become deserted and strip her bare; they will eat her flesh and utterly consume her with fire.
In deseteri rogovi, katere si videl na zveri, ti bodejo sovražili kurbo in jo pusto naredili in golo, in meso njeno pojedli in njo sežgali v ognji.
17 For God has put it into their minds to carry out his purpose, in carrying out their common purpose and surrendering their kingdoms to the Beast, until God’s decrees will be executed.
Kajti Bog je dal v srca njih, da storé misel njegovo, in da storé eno misel, in dadó kraljestvo svoje zveri, dokler se ne izvršé besede Božje.
18 As for the woman whom you saw, she is the great city that holds sway over all the kings of the earth.’
In žena, katero si videl, je mesto véliko, katero ima kraljestvo nad kralji zemljé.
