Revelation 17
1 Then one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls came and spoke to me. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the doom of the great Harlot who sits upon many waters.
In prišel je eden izmed sedmih angelov, ki so imeli sedem stekleničk in govoril z menoj ter mi rekel: »Pridi sèm, pokazal ti bom sodbo vélike vlačuge, ki sedi nad mnogimi vodami,
2 The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
s katero so kralji zemlje zagrešili prešuštvovanje, prebivalci zemlje pa so bili opiti z vinom njenega prešuštvovanja.«
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into a desert, and there I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored Wild Beast which was covered with names of blasphemy and had seven heads and ten horns.
Tako me je v duhu odvedel proč v divjino in videl sem žensko sedeti na škrlatno obarvanem zverniku, polnem imen bogokletstev, ki je imel sedem glav in deset rogov.
4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was brilliantly attired with gold and jewels and pearls. She held in her hand a cup of gold, full of abominations, and she gave filthy indications of her fornication.
In ženska je bila oblečena v vijolično in škrlatno [rdečo] barvo in odeta z zlatom in dragocenimi kamni in biseri in v svoji roki je imela zlato čašo polno ogabnosti in umazanosti svojega prešuštvovanja
5 And on her forehead was a name written: "I am a symbol of great Babylon, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth."
in na njenem čelu je bilo napisano ime: SKRIVNOST, VÉLIKA [METROPOLA] BABILON, MATI POCESTNIC IN OGABNOSTI ZEMLJE.
6 And I saw the woman drinking herself drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her I was filled with utter astonishment.
In videl sem žensko, pijano s krvjo svetih in s krvjo Jezusovih mučencev in ko sem jo zagledal, sem se čudil z veliko osuplostjo.
7 Then the angel said to me, "Why are you so astonished? I will explain to you the secret meaning of the woman and of the seven-headed, ten-horned Wild Beast which carries her.
Angel pa mi je rekel: »Zakaj se čudiš? Povedal ti bom skrivnost ženske in zvernika, ki jo prenaša, ki ima sedem glav in deset rogov.
8 "The Wild Beast which you have seen was, and is not, and yet is destined to re-ascend, before long, out of the bottomless pit and go his way into perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth will be filled with amazement--all whose names are not in the Book of Life, having been recorded there ever since the creation of the world--when they see the Wild Beast: because he was, and is not, and yet is to come. (Abyssos g12)
Zvernik, ki si ga videl, je bil in ga ni in vzpel se bo iz jame brez dna in šel v pogubo in tisti, ki prebivajo na zemlji, katerih imena od ustanovitve sveta niso bila zapisana v knjigi življenja, se bodo čudili, ko bodo gledali zvernika, ki je bil in ga ni, pa vendar je. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is scope for the exercise of a mind that has wisdom! The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits.
In tukaj je um, ki ima modrost. Sedem glav je sedem gorá, na katerih sedi ženska.
10 And they are seven kings: five of them have fallen, and the one is still reigning. The seventh has not yet come, but when he comes he must continue for a short time.
In tam je sedem kraljev; pet je padlih in eden je, drugi pa še ni prišel; ko pa pride, mora kratek čas nadaljevati.
11 And the Wild Beast which once existed but does not now exist--he is an eighth king and yet is one of the seven and he goes his way into perdition.
Zvernik pa, ki je bil in ga ni, je celó osmi in je izmed sedmih in gre v pogubo.
12 "And the ten horns which you have seen are ten kings who have not yet come to the throne, but for a single hour they are to receive authority as kings along with the Wild Beast.
In deset rogov, ki si jih videl, je deset kraljev, ki doslej še niso prejeli kraljestva, toda kot kralji prejmejo oblast z zvernikom za eno uro.
13 They have one common policy, and they are to give their power and authority to the Wild Beast.
Ti imajo en um, svojo oblast in moč pa bodo dali zverniku.
14 They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those who accompany Him--called, as they are, and chosen, and faithful--shall share in the victory."
Ti se bodo vojskovali z Jagnjetom, Jagnje pa jih bo premagalo, kajti on je Gospod gospodov in Kralj kraljev in tisti, ki so z njim, so poklicani in izbrani in zvesti.«
15 He also said to me, "The waters which you have seen, on which the Harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes, nations and languages.
In rekel mi je: »Te vode, ki jih vidiš, kjer sedi vlačuga, so ljudje in množice in narodi in jeziki.
16 And the ten horns that you have seen--and the Wild Beast--these will hate the Harlot, and they will cause her to be laid waste and will strip her bare. They will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.
In deset rogov, ki si jih videl na zverniku, ti bodo sovražili vlačugo in naredili jo bodo opustošeno in nago in jedli bodo njeno meso ter jo sežgali z ognjem.
17 For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose, and to carry out a common purpose and to give their kingdom to the Wild Beast until God's words have come to pass.
Kajti Bog je na njihova srca položil, da izpolnijo njegovo voljo in da se strinjajo in svoje kraljestvo izročijo zverniku, dokler ne bodo izpolnjene Božje besede.
18 And the woman whom you have seen is the great city which has kingly power over the kings of the earth."
Ženska pa, ki si jo videl, je to veliko mesto, ki kraljuje nad kralji zemlje.«
