Revelation 17

1 And came one of the seven angels those having the seven bowls and spoke with me saying (to me: *K*) Come here, I will show you the punishment of the prostitute great who is sitting upon (*k*) waters (*k*) many,

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,

2 with whom committed sexual immorality the kings of the earth, and were made drunk those that dwelling on the earth with the wine of the sexual immorality of her.

with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”

3 and he carried away me into a wilderness in [the] Spirit. and I saw a woman sitting upon a beast scarlet (being full *N(k)O*) (of the *o*) (names *N(k)O*) of blasphemy, (having *N(k)O*) heads seven and horns ten.

He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 And the woman was clothed in (purple *N(k)O*) and (scarlet *N(k)O*) and adorned (with gold *N(k)O*) and with stone precious and with pearls, holding a cup golden in the hand of her being full of abominations and the (unclean [things] *N(k)O*) of the sexual immorality of her.

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 the sexual immorality of the earth.

5 And upon the forehead of her a name written, a mystery: Babylon the Great, the mother of the prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth.

And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

6 And I saw the woman being drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, And I marveled having seen her with wonder great.

I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

7 And said to me the angel; Because of why did you marvel? I myself will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast who is carrying her who is having the seven heads and the ten horns.

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.

8 The beast that you saw was and not is and is about to come up out of the abyss and into destruction (go. *N(k)O*) and (will be astonished *N(k)O*) those dwelling on the earth, whose not has been written (name *N(k)O*) in the book of life from [the] foundation of [the] world, (seeing *N(k)O*) the beast (that *N(k)O*) was and not is (and yet *N(k)O*) (it will exist. *N(K)O*) (Abyssos g12)

The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into 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, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)

9 Here [is] the mind which is having wisdom. The seven heads seven mountains are where the woman sits on them.

Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

10 And kings seven there are: The five are fallen, (and *k*) the one is, the other not yet has come; and when he may have come, a little while him it behooves to remain.

They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

11 And the beast which was and not is, also (himself *NK(o)*) an eighth is and of the seven is and into destruction goes.

The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

12 And the ten horns which you saw, ten kings are, who a kingdom not yet have received but authority as kings one hour receive along with the beast.

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.

13 These one mind have and the power and (the *k*) authority (of them *N(k)O*) to the beast (they give up. *N(k)O*)

These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

14 These with the Lamb war will make, and the Lamb will overcome them, because Lord of lords He is and King of kings, and those with Him [are] called and chosen and faithful.

These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

15 And he says to me; The waters that you saw, where the prostitute sits, peoples and multitudes are and nations and tongues.

He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

16 And the ten horns that you saw (and *N(K)O*) the beast, these will hate the prostitute and desolated they will make her and naked (they will make her *o*) and the flesh of her they will eat and her they will burn with fire.

The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

17 For God has put into the hearts of them to do the purpose of Him and to do one purpose and to give the kingdom of them to the beast until (they will be completed *N(k)(o)*) (the words *N(k)O*) of God.

For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

18 And the woman whom you saw is the city great which is having kingship over the kings of the earth.

The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
