Revelation 18
1 After this, [in the vision] I saw another angel, who had great authority, coming down from heaven. The earth became bright [because] he was shining so intensely/brightly.
A potemem widział drugiego Anioła zstępującego z nieba, mającego moc wielką i oświeciła się ziemia od chwały jego.
2 He shouted with a very loud voice, “[God is about to] completely destroy [DOU] all the very [evil] cities (OR, the very evil [city]) [that] Babylon [represents]. As a result, all [kinds of] evil spirits [DOU] will live there, and all [kinds of] foul and detestable [DOU] birds will live there.
I zawołał potężnie głosem wielkim, mówiąc: Upadł, upadł Babilon on wielki i stał się przybytkiem czartów i mieszkaniem wszelkiego ducha nieczystego, i mieszkaniem wszelkiego ptastwa nieczystego i przemierzłego.
3 [God will destroy those cities] because [their rulers have persuaded] the people of [MTY] all nations to act very immorally [and idolatrously with the people of] [MET] [those cities, just like] a prostitute persuades men to drink [strong] wine and then commit fornication with her. The rulers of the earth have also acted immorally [and idolatrously] with the people of [MTY] those cities. The merchants of the earth have become rich [because the people of those cities] strongly desired [and bought from the merchants] many (luxuries/expensive things).”
Iż z win zapalczywości wszeteczeństwa jego piły wszystkie narody, a królowie ziemi wszeteczeństwo z nim płodzili, i kupcy ziemscy z zbytecznej rozkoszy jego zbogacieli.
4 I heard [Jesus] speak from heaven. He said, “My people, flee from [those cities], in order that you do not sin as the people [of those cities do. If you sin as they do], I will punish you as I will punish them.
I słyszałem inszy głos z nieba mówiący: Wynijdźcie z niego, ludu mój! abyście nie byli uczestnikami grzechów jego, a iżbyście nie wzięli z plag jego.
5 [It is as though] their sins have been piled {have piled} up to heaven, and God remembers them [DOU], [so now he will punish them] [MTY].”
Albowiem dosięgły grzechy jego aż do nieba i wspomniał Bóg na nieprawości jego.
6 [To the angels whom God assigned to punish those cities, Jesus said], “Pay back/Punish the people of those cities to the same extent that they harmed [other people]. Cause them to suffer twice as much [as they caused other people to suffer] [DOU, MET].
Oddajcież mu, jako i on oddawał wam, a w dwójnasób oddajcie mu według uczynków jego; w kubku, który wam nalewał, nalejcie mu w dwójnasób.
7 To the same extent that they have boasted about themselves and done the things that they wanted to do, to that extent torment them and cause them to grieve. [Do that because] in their minds they think, ‘We rule as queens! We are not widows, and we will never mourn [as widows do]’!
Jako się wiele chlubił i rozkoszował, tak mu wiele dajcie mąk i smutku; bo mówi w sercu swojem: Siedzę jako królowa, a nie jestem wdową, i smutku nie ujrzę.
8 So in one day terrible calamities/troubles will come upon them. [The people in those cities] will die, others will mourn for them, people will be hungry [because there will be no food], and [their cities] will be burned up. The Lord God is able to punish those cities [like that], because he is very powerful.”
Przetoż w jeden dzień przyjdą plagi jego, śmierć i smutek, i głód, i ogniem będzie spalony; bo mocny jest Pan Bóg, który go osądzi.
9 “The kings of the earth who have acted immorally [with people of those cities] and have lived with the people of those cities, doing just what they wanted to do, will weep and mourn [DOU] for them when they see the smoke of the fire that is burning those cities.
I będą go płakać, i narzekać nad nim będą królowie ziemi, którzy z nim wszeteczeństwo płodzili i rozkoszowali, gdy ujrzą dym zapalenia jego.
10 They will stand far away [from those cities], because they will be afraid [that they will suffer just like the people of those cities] are suffering. They will say, ‘Terrible things will happen to the awesome and mighty cities [represented by] Babylon! [God] will punish them suddenly and swiftly [MTY]!’
Z daleka stojąc dla bojaźni męki jego i mówiąc: Biada, biada, miasto ono wielkie Babilon, miasto ono mocne, iż w jednę godzinę przyszedł sąd twój!
11 The merchants of the earth will weep and will mourn [DOU] [for those cities], because no one will ever again buy the things that they have [to sell to the people in those cities].
Do tego i kupcy ziemscy płakać będą i narzekać nad niem, przeto iż towaru ich żaden więcej kupować nie będzie,
12 [They sell ornaments made] of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls. They sell [expensive cloth made of] fine linen and silk, [expensive cloth that is dyed] purple and crimson. They sell all kinds of [rare] wood, all kinds of items [made of] ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble. They sell cinnamon, spice, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, and grain. They sell cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots. They even sell human beings [SYN, DOU] to become slaves.
Towaru złota i srebra, i kamienia drogiego, i pereł, i lnu cienkiego, i purpury, i jedwabiu, i szarłatu, i wszelkiego drzewa tyinowego, i wszelkiego naczynia słoniowego, i wszelkiego naczynia z drzewa najkosztowniejszego, i z miedzi, i z żelaza, i z marmuru,
I cynamonu, i kadzenia, i maści, i kadzidła, i wina, i oliwy, i mąki czystej, i pszenicy, i bydła, i owiec, i koni, i wozów, i niewolników, i dusz ludzkich.
14 [The merchants will say], ‘The good things you people longed to have are gone! All your luxurious and splendid [DOU] [possessions have vanished!]! They will be gone forever/You will never have them again [LIT]!’
I owoce pożądliwości duszy twojej odeszły od ciebie, i wszystkie rzeczy tłuste i świetne odeszły od ciebie, a tych rzeczy już więcej nie znajdziesz.
15 The merchants [who sold] these things and who had become rich by [supplying them] for those [cities] will stand far away, because they will be afraid [that they will suffer just like] the people [of those cities] are suffering. They will weep and mourn [DOU],
Kupcy tych rzeczy, zbogaciwszy się tem, z daleka stać będą dla bojaźni męki jego, płacząc i narzekając,
16 and they will say, ‘Terrible things [DOU] have happened to the awesome/great [MET] cities! [They were like queens] who dressed themselves in [clothes made of] [MTY] fine linen [cloth] and expensive cloth dyed purple and crimson, and who were adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls.
A mówiąc: Biada, biada, miasto ono wielkie, które było obleczone w bisior, i w purpurę, i w szarłat, i uzłocone złotem, i kamieniem drogim, i perłami; gdyż w jednej godzinie zginęło tak wielkie bogactwo.
17 But suddenly and swiftly [MTY] [God] has destroyed these expensive things.’ Every ship captain, all people who travel by ship, all (sailors/those who work on ships), and all others who earn their living [by traveling on] the ocean will stand far away [from those cities].
I wszelki sternik, i wszystko mnóstwo ludu, które jest na okręcie, i żeglarze, i którzykolwiek na morzu pożytku szukają, z daleka stanęli.
18 When they see the smoke of the fire that is burning those cities, they will shout, ‘No [other] cities have ever been so awesome!’ [RHQ]
I zawołali, widząc dym zapalenia jego, mówiąc: Któreż miasto było podobne temu miastu wielkiemu?
19 They will throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad], and they will shout, weep, and mourn [DOU]. They will say, ‘Terrible things have happened to the awesome/great cities, the cities that made all people who own ships [that sail] on the ocean become rich by [carrying] their costly (things for them to sell/merchandise)! [God] has suddenly and swiftly destroyed [MTY] those cities!’”
A sypali proch na głowy swoje i wołali, płacząc i smucąc się, i mówiąc: Biada, biada, miasto ono wielkie, w którem zbogatnieli wszyscy, którzy mieli okręty na morzu z dostatków jego, iż jednej godziny spustoszało!
20 Then someone spoke from heaven saying, “All you who live in heaven, rejoice over what has happened to [the cities represented by] Babylon! You who are God’s people, including you apostles, you (prophets/who speak messages that come directly from God), rejoice, because God has justly punished the people of those cities because they acted in an evil way toward you!”
Rozraduj się nad niem niebo i święci Apostołowie i prorocy; bo się pomścił krzywdy waszej Bóg nad niem.
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large stone for grinding grain, and threw it into the ocean. Then he said, “O you people in [APO] the awesome/great cities [represented by] Babylon, your cities will be destroyed so that they will disappear just like that stone disappeared in the ocean! Your cities will be gone forever [LIT]!
I podniósł jeden Anioł mocny kamień jakoby młyński wielki, i wrzucił go w morze, mówiąc: Takim pędem wrzucony będzie Babilon, miasto ono wielkie, i już więcej nie będzie znaleziony.
22 In your cities there will never again be [anyone] playing harps, singing, playing flutes, and blowing trumpets. There will no longer be any (skilled workers/craftsmen) making things. There will never again be people grinding [grain at] [MTY] the mills.
I głos cytrystów, i śpiewaków, i piszczków, i trębaczy więcej w tobie słyszany nie będzie, i żaden rzemieślnik wszelkiego rzemiosła nie znajdzie się więcej w tobie, i grzmot młyna nie będzie więcej słyszany w tobie;
23 No lamplight will ever again shine. There will never again be the [happy] voices of a bridegroom and his bride. [God will destroy your cities] because your merchants were the most [deceitful] men in the world. You persuaded them to deceive [people of] [MTY] all nations.
I światłość świecy nie będzie się więcej świeciła w tobie, i głos oblubieńca i oblubienicy nie będzie więcej słyszany w tobie; iż kupcy twoi byli wielcy panowie ziemscy, iż czarami twojemi byli zwiedzeni wszystkie narody.
24 You are also [responsible for killing] [MTY] [the] prophets and [others] of God’s people. Indeed, you are the ones who are guilty for the deaths of all those who have been {whom [others] have} killed on the earth!”
I w niem znalazła się krew proroków i świętych, i wszystkich, którzy są pobici na ziemi.
