< Revelation 17 >
1 One of the seven angels who had been holding the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the condemnation of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters.
Xpe kꞌu jun chike ri wuqubꞌ angelibꞌ ri rukꞌaꞌm jun chike ri wuqubꞌ qumubꞌal, xinuchꞌabꞌej xubꞌij chwe: Chatampe loq, kinkꞌut chawach ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kuriq na ri nimalaj ajmak ixoq ri sibꞌalaj e kꞌi rachajil ri tꞌuyul puꞌwiꞌ sibꞌalaj kꞌi jaꞌ.
2 It is with her that the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. It is with the wine of her sexual immorality that the earth's inhabitants became drunk.”
Konojel ri e taqanelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri winaq rech ri uwachulew xemakun rukꞌ, xeqꞌabꞌarik xuqujeꞌ xeꞌkiqꞌijilaꞌj e bꞌanom taq dios.
3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit to a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names. The beast had seven heads and ten horns.
Ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios xinukꞌam bꞌik pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri katzꞌinowik. Chilaꞌ xinwil jun ixoq tꞌuyul chirij jun kyaq nimalaj awaj, we awaj riꞌ nojinaq che ubꞌiꞌ awas taq tzij. Kꞌo wuqubꞌ ujolom xuqujeꞌ lajuj rukꞌaꞌ.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet and was adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She was holding in her hand a golden cup full of detestable things and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
Ri ixoq ukojom jun kyaq rachiꞌl moraꞌt ratzꞌyaq uwiqiqem ribꞌ rukꞌ qꞌana pwaq xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ abꞌaj ri sibꞌalaj paqal rajil, rachiꞌl abꞌaj ri kachuplinik, pa ri uqꞌabꞌ rukꞌaꞌm jun qumubꞌal nojinaq che xaꞌwibꞌal taq jastaq xuqujeꞌ etzelal rachiꞌl mak kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ.
5 On her forehead was written a name having a secret meaning: “Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the detestable things of the earth.”
Chupalaj tzꞌibꞌatal jun bꞌiꞌaj ri man kꞌo ta jun kachꞌobꞌowik, jewaꞌ kubꞌij: Ri nimalaj tinimit Babilonia are kinan ri kakibꞌan mak kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri kakibꞌan xaꞌwibꞌal taq jastaq cho ri uwachulew.
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs for Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.
Xinwilo chi ri ixoq xqꞌabꞌarik rumal cher xuqumuj ri kikikꞌel konojel ri e kojonelabꞌ ri xekamisaxik rumal cher xjeqiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx chirij ri Jesús, sibꞌalaj xinmayijanik are xinwil we riꞌ.
7 But the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the meaning of the woman and of the beast that is carrying her, the beast that has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Ri ángel xubꞌij chwe: ¿Jas che sibꞌalaj katmayijanik? Chanim kinbꞌij chawe jas kel kubꞌij ri ixoq ri kꞌo wuqubꞌ ujolom xuqujeꞌ lajuj rukꞌaꞌ.
8 The beast you saw existed, does not exist now, but is about to come up from the bottomless pit. Then it will go on to destruction. Those who live on the earth, those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life since the foundation of the world—they will be astounded when they see the beast that existed, does not exist now, but is about to come. (Abyssos )
Ri nimalaj awaj ri xawilo are waꞌ ri kꞌo kanoq nabꞌe, man kꞌo ta chi kꞌu chanim, jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kel loq pa ri nimalaj jul ri maj ukꞌisik kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌam bꞌik rech jeriꞌ kakꞌis tzij puꞌwiꞌ, ri winaq ri man tzꞌibꞌatal ta ri kibꞌiꞌ pa ri wuj rech kꞌaslemal pa ri uwokotajik loq ri uwachulew, kemayijan na are kakil we awaj riꞌ, ri kꞌo kanoq nabꞌe, man kꞌo ta chi kꞌu kamik, katzalij kꞌu na loq. (Abyssos )
9 This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is seated.
We jastaq riꞌ xwi kachꞌobꞌow ri kꞌo retaꞌmabꞌal: Ri wuqubꞌ jolomaj kel kubꞌij wuqubꞌ juyubꞌ jawjeꞌ ri tꞌuyul wi ri ixoq.
10 They are also seven kings. Five kings have fallen, one exists, and the other has not yet come; when he comes, he can remain only for a little while.
Xuqujeꞌ e wuqubꞌ taqanelabꞌ rech ri uwachulew: E kaminaq chi jobꞌ chike, jun kꞌa tajin kataqan na, ri jun chik majaꞌ kulik, we kꞌu xulik tzi choqꞌaqꞌ wi chi man naj taq kataqanik.
11 The beast that existed, but does not exist now, is itself also an eighth king; but it is one of those seven kings, and it is going to destruction.
Ri nimalaj awaj ri kꞌo kanoq, ri man kꞌo ta chi kamik, xa kꞌu katzalij na loq, are waꞌ ri wajxaq taqanel, kajunumataj kukꞌ ri wuqubꞌ taqanelabꞌ, xa kꞌu kakꞌis na tzij puꞌwiꞌ.
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour together with the beast.
Ri lajuj ukꞌaꞌ ri xawilo, e lajuj taqanelabꞌ ri kꞌamajaꞌ kakichapleꞌj taqanik, kayaꞌtaj kꞌu na ri taqanik pa kiqꞌabꞌ jun hora junam rukꞌ ri nimalaj awaj.
13 These are of one mind, and they give over their power and authority to the beast.
Ri lajuj taqanelabꞌ kakijunamaj na kichomanik kakijach na ri kikwinem xuqujeꞌ ri kichuqꞌabꞌ puꞌqꞌabꞌ ri nimalaj awaj.
14 They will wage war against the Lamb. But the Lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him are the called ones, the chosen ones, and the faithful ones.”
Kechꞌoꞌjin na rukꞌ ri alaj Chij, ri alaj Chij kꞌut kachꞌeken na chike rumal cher Areꞌ Ajawxel pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri ajawxelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ are taqanel pa kiwiꞌ konojel taqanelabꞌ. Kekꞌojiꞌ na rukꞌ konojel ri e tereneꞌl taq rech. Ri Dios uꞌchaꞌom xuqujeꞌ uꞌsikꞌim apanoq rumal e jeqel pa ri utzij.
15 The angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
Xubꞌij xuqujeꞌ chwe: Ri nimaꞌ ri xawilo jawjeꞌ ri tꞌuyul wi ri ixoq ri sibꞌalaj e kꞌi rachajil, are karetwachij e nitzꞌ xuqujeꞌ e nimaq taq tinimit xuqujeꞌ tzijobꞌal.
16 The ten horns that you saw—they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, they will devour her flesh, and they will burn her completely with fire.
Ri lajuj ukꞌaꞌ ri xawilo, rachiꞌl ri nimalaj awaj kaketzelaj na ri ixoq ri sibꞌalaj e kꞌi rachajil, kakimaj na ronojel ri kꞌo rukꞌ, kakitij na ri utyoꞌjal kꞌa te riꞌ kakiporoj na pa qꞌaqꞌ.
17 For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by agreeing to give their power to rule to the beast until God's words are fulfilled.
Ri Dios xuya bꞌe chike ri lajuj taqanelabꞌ chi jewaꞌ kakibꞌano. Xubꞌan chike chi kakijunamaj kichomanik rukꞌ ri nimalaj awaj, kakinimaj kꞌu na kꞌa pa ri qꞌij are katzꞌaqat ri uchomanik loq ri Dios.
18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
Ri ixoq ri xawilo, are karetwachij ri nimalaj tinimit ri kabꞌan rech pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri taqanelabꞌ cho ri uwachulew.
