Revelation 18
1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from Heaven, armed with great power. The earth shone with his splendor,
tadanantaraṁ svargād avarohan apara eko dūto mayā dṛṣṭaḥ sa mahāparākramaviśiṣṭastasya tejasā ca pṛthivī dīptā|
2 and with a mighty voice he cried out, saying, "Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and has become a home for demons and a stronghold for every kind of foul spirit and for every kind of foul and hateful bird.
sa balavatā svareṇa vācamimām aghoṣayat patitā patitā mahābābil, sā bhūtānāṁ vasatiḥ sarvveṣām aśucyātmanāṁ kārā sarvveṣām aśucīnāṁ ghṛṇyānāñca pakṣiṇāṁ piñjaraścābhavat|
3 For all the nations have drunk the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through her excessive luxury."
yataḥ sarvvajātīyāstasyā vyabhicārajātāṁ kopamadirāṁ pītavantaḥ pṛthivyā rājānaśca tayā saha vyabhicāraṁ kṛtavantaḥ pṛthivyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ sukhabhogabāhulyād dhanāḍhyatāṁ gatavantaḥ|
4 Then I heard another voice from Heaven, which said, "Come out of her, My people, that you may not become partakers in her sins, nor receive a share of her plagues.
tataḥ paraṁ svargāt mayāpara eṣa ravaḥ śrutaḥ, he mama prajāḥ, yūyaṁ yat tasyāḥ pāpānām aṁśino na bhavata tasyā daṇḍaiśca daṇḍayuktā na bhavata tadarthaṁ tato nirgacchata|
5 For her sins are piled up to the sky, and God has called to mind her unrighteous deeds.
yatastasyāḥ pāpāni gaganasparśānyabhavan tasyā adharmmakriyāśceśvareṇa saṁsmṛtāḥ|
6 Give back to her as she has given; repay her in accordance with her doings, twice as much; in the bowl that she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.
parān prati tayā yadvad vyavahṛtaṁ tadvat tāṁ prati vyavaharata, tasyāḥ karmmaṇāṁ dviguṇaphalāni tasyai datta, yasmin kaṁse sā parān madyam apāyayat tameva tasyāḥ pānārthaṁ dviguṇamadyena pūrayata|
7 She has freely glorified herself and revelled in luxury; equally freely administer torment to her, and woe. For in her heart she boasts, saying, 'I sit enthroned as Queen: no widow am I: I shall never know sorrow.'
tayā yātmaślāghā yaśca sukhabhogaḥ kṛtastayo rdviguṇau yātanāśokau tasyai datta, yataḥ sā svakīyāntaḥkaraṇe vadati, rājñīvad upaviṣṭāhaṁ nānāthā na ca śokavit|
8 "For this reason calamities shall come thick upon her on a single day--death and sorrow and famine--and she shall be burned to the ground. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.
tasmād divasa ekasmin mārīdurbhikṣaśocanaiḥ, sā samāploṣyate nārī dhyakṣyate vahninā ca sā; yad vicārādhipastasyā balavān prabhurīśvaraḥ,
9 The kings of the earth who have committed fornication with her, and have revelled in luxury, shall weep aloud and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning,
vyabhicārastayā sārddhaṁ sukhabhogaśca yaiḥ kṛtaḥ, te sarvva eva rājānastaddāhadhūmadarśanāt, prarodiṣyanti vakṣāṁsi cāhaniṣyanti bāhubhiḥ|
10 while they stand afar off because of their terror at her heavy punishment, and say, 'Alas, alas, thou great city, O Babylon, the mighty city! For in one short hour thy doom has come!'
tasyāstai ryātanābhīte rdūre sthitvedamucyate, hā hā bābil mahāsthāna hā prabhāvānvite puri, ekasmin āgatā daṇḍe vicārājñā tvadīyakā|
11 And the merchants of the earth weep aloud and lament over her, because now there is no sale for their cargoes--
medinyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ kṛte rudanti śocanti ca yatasteṣāṁ paṇyadravyāṇi kenāpi na krīyante|
12 cargoes of gold and silver, of jewels and pearls, of fine linen, purple and silk, and of scarlet stuff; all kinds of rare woods, and all kinds of goods in ivory and in very costly wood, in bronze, steel and marble.
phalataḥ suvarṇaraupyamaṇimuktāḥ sūkṣmavastrāṇi kṛṣṇalohitavāsāṁsi paṭṭavastrāṇi sindūravarṇavāsāṁsi candanādikāṣṭhāni gajadantena mahārghakāṣṭhena pittalalauhābhyāṁ marmmaraprastareṇa vā nirmmitāni sarvvavidhapātrāṇi
13 Also cinnamon and amomum; odors to burn as incense or for perfume; frankincense, wine, oil; fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep; horses and carriages and slaves; and the lives of men.
tvagelā dhūpaḥ sugandhidravyaṁ gandharaso drākṣārasastailaṁ śasyacūrṇaṁ godhūmo gāvo meṣā aśvā rathā dāseyā manuṣyaprāṇāścaitāni paṇyadravyāṇi kenāpi na krīyante|
14 The dainties that thy soul longed for are gone from thee, and all thine elegance and splendor have perished, and never again shall they be found.
tava mano'bhilāṣasya phalānāṁ samayo gataḥ, tvatto dūrīkṛtaṁ yadyat śobhanaṁ bhūṣaṇaṁ tava, kadācana taduddeśo na puna rlapsyate tvayā|
15 Those who traded in these things, who grew wealthy through her, will stand afar off, struck with terror at her punishment,
tadvikretāro ye vaṇijastayā dhanino jātāste tasyā yātanāyā bhayād dūre tiṣṭhanato rodiṣyanti śocantaścedaṁ gadiṣyanti
16 weeping aloud and sorrowing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, for this great city, which was brilliantly arrayed in fine linen, and purple and scarlet stuff, and beautified with gold, jewels and pearls;
hā hā mahāpuri, tvaṁ sūkṣmavastraiḥ kṛṣṇalohitavastraiḥ sindūravarṇavāsobhiścācchāditā svarṇamaṇimuktābhiralaṅkṛtā cāsīḥ,
17 because in one short hour all this great wealth has been laid waste!' And every shipmaster and every passenger by sea and the crews and all who ply their trade on the sea,
kintvekasmin daṇḍe sā mahāsampad luptā| aparaṁ potānāṁ karṇadhārāḥ samūhalokā nāvikāḥ samudravyavasāyinaśca sarvve
18 stood afar off, and cried aloud when they saw the smoke of her burning. And they said, 'What city is like this great city?'
dūre tiṣṭhantastasyā dāhasya dhūmaṁ nirīkṣamāṇā uccaiḥsvareṇa vadanti tasyā mahānagaryyāḥ kiṁ tulyaṁ?
19 And they threw dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping aloud and sorrowing. 'Alas, alas,' they said, 'for this great city, in which, through her vast wealth, the owners of all the ships on the sea have grown rich; because in one short hour she has been laid waste!'
aparaṁ svaśiraḥsu mṛttikāṁ nikṣipya te rudantaḥ śocantaścoccaiḥsvareṇedaṁ vadanti hā hā yasyā mahāpuryyā bāhulyadhanakāraṇāt, sampattiḥ sañcitā sarvvaiḥ sāmudrapotanāyakaiḥ, ekasminneva daṇḍe sā sampūrṇocchinnatāṁ gatā|
20 Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you saints and Apostles and Prophets; for God has taken vengeance upon her because of you."
he svargavāsinaḥ sarvve pavitrāḥ preritāśca he| he bhāvivādino yūyaṁ kṛte tasyāḥ praharṣata| yuṣmākaṁ yat tayā sārddhaṁ yo vivādaḥ purābhavat| daṇḍaṁ samucitaṁ tasya tasyai vyataradīśvaraḥ||
21 Then a single angel of great strength took a stone which resembled a huge millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon, that great city, be violently hurled down and never again be found.
anantaram eko balavān dūto bṛhatpeṣaṇīprastaratulyaṁ pāṣāṇamekaṁ gṛhītvā samudre nikṣipya kathitavān, īdṛgbalaprakāśena bābil mahānagarī nipātayiṣyate tatastasyā uddeśaḥ puna rna lapsyate|
22 No harp or song, no flute or trumpet, shall ever again be heard in thee; no craftsman of any kind shall ever again be found in thee; nor shall the grinding of the mill ever again be heard in thee.
vallakīvādināṁ śabdaṁ puna rna śroṣyate tvayi| gāthākānāñca śabdo vā vaṁśītūryyādivādināṁ| śilpakarmmakaraḥ ko 'pi puna rna drakṣyate tvayi| peṣaṇīprastaradhvānaḥ puna rna śroṣyate tvayi|
23 Never again shall the light of a lamp shine in thee, and never again shall the voice of a bridegroom or of a bride be heard in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and with the magic which thou didst practise all nations were led astray.
dīpasyāpi prabhā tadvat puna rna drakṣyate tvayi| na kanyāvarayoḥ śabdaḥ punaḥ saṁśroṣyate tvayi| yasmānmukhyāḥ pṛthivyā ye vaṇijaste'bhavan tava| yasmācca jātayaḥ sarvvā mohitāstava māyayā|
24 And in her was found the blood of Prophets and of God's people and of all who had been put to death on the earth."
bhāvivādipavitrāṇāṁ yāvantaśca hatā bhuvi| sarvveṣāṁ śoṇitaṁ teṣāṁ prāptaṁ sarvvaṁ tavāntare||
