Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 17

1 και ηλθεν εισ εκ των επτα αγγελων των εχοντων τασ επτα φιαλασ και ελαλησεν μετ εμου λεγων δευρο δειξω σοι το κριμα τησ πορνησ τησ μεγαλησ τησ καθημενησ επι των υδατων των πολλων

Then there came one of the seuen Angels, which had the seuen vials, and talked with me, saying vnto me, Come: I will shewe thee the damnation of the great whore that sitteth vpon many waters,

2 μεθ ησ επορνευσαν οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ και εμεθυσθησαν οι κατοικουντεσ την γην εκ του οινου τησ πορνειασ αυτησ

With whom haue committed fornication the Kings of the earth, and the inhabitants of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication.

3 και απηνεγκεν με εισ ερημον εν πνευματι και ειδον γυναικα καθημενην επι θηριον κοκκινον γεμον ονοματα βλασφημιασ εχον κεφαλασ επτα και κερατα δεκα

So he caried me away into the wildernesse in the Spirit, and I sawe a woman sit vpon a skarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemie, which had seuen heads, and tenne hornes.

4 και η γυνη ην περιβεβλημενη πορφυρουν και κοκκινον κεχρυσωμενη χρυσιω και λιθω τιμιω και μαργαριταισ εχουσα ποτηριον χρυσουν εν τη χειρι αυτησ γεμον βδελυγματων και τα ακαθαρτα τησ πορνειασ αυτησ

And the woman was arayed in purple and skarlet, and gilded with golde, and precious stones, and pearles, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthines of her fornication.

5 και επι το μετωπον αυτησ ονομα γεγραμμενον μυστηριον βαβυλων η μεγαλη η μητηρ των πορνων και των βδελυγματων τησ γησ

And in her forehead was a name written, A mysterie, that great Babylon, that mother of whoredomes, and abominations of the earth.

6 και ειδον την γυναικα μεθυουσαν εκ του αιματοσ των αγιων εκ του αιματοσ των μαρτυρων ιησου και εθαυμασα ιδων αυτην θαυμα μεγα

And I sawe ye woman drunken with the blood of Saintes, and with the blood of the Martyrs of IESVS: and when I sawe her, I wondred with great marueile.

7 και ειπεν μοι ο αγγελοσ δια τι εθαυμασασ εγω ερω σοι το μυστηριον τησ γυναικοσ και του θηριου του βασταζοντοσ αυτην του εχοντοσ τασ επτα κεφαλασ και τα δεκα κερατα

Then the Angel saide vnto me, Wherefore marueilest thou? I will shewe thee the misterie of that woman, and of that beast, that beareth her, which hath seuen heads, and tenne hornes.

8 το θηριον ο ειδεσ ην και ουκ εστιν και μελλει αναβαινειν εκ τησ αβυσσου και εισ απωλειαν υπαγειν και θαυμασονται οι κατοικουντεσ επι τησ γησ ων ου γεγραπται τα ονοματα επι το βιβλιον τησ ζωησ απο καταβολησ κοσμου βλεποντων οτι ην το θηριον και ουκ εστιν και παρεσται (Abyssos g12)

The beast that thou hast seene, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomles pit, and shall goe into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth, shall wonder (whose names are not written in the booke of life from the foundation of ye world) when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)

9 ωδε ο νουσ ο εχων σοφιαν αι επτα κεφαλαι επτα ορη εισιν οπου η γυνη καθηται επ αυτων

Here is the mind that hath wisdome. The seuen heads, are seuen mountaines, whereon the woman sitteth: they are also seuen Kings.

10 και βασιλεισ εισιν επτα οι πεντε επεσον ο εισ εστιν ο αλλοσ ουπω ηλθεν και οταν ελθη ολιγον δει αυτον μειναι

Fiue are fallen, and one is, and another is not yet come: and when he commeth, he must continue a short space.

11 και το θηριον ο ην και ουκ εστιν και αυτοσ ογδοοσ εστιν και εκ των επτα εστιν και εισ απωλειαν υπαγει

And the beast that was, and is not, is euen the eight, and is one of the seuen, and shall goe into destruction.

12 και τα δεκα κερατα α ειδεσ δεκα βασιλεισ εισιν οιτινεσ βασιλειαν ουπω ελαβον αλλ εξουσιαν ωσ βασιλεισ μιαν ωραν λαμβανουσιν μετα του θηριου

And the tenne hornes which thou sawest, are tenne Kings, which yet haue not receiued a kingdome, but shall receiue power, as Kings at one houre with the beast.

13 ουτοι μιαν εχουσιν γνωμην και την δυναμιν και την εξουσιαν αυτων τω θηριω διδοασιν

These haue one minde, and shall giue their power, and authoritie vnto the beast.

14 ουτοι μετα του αρνιου πολεμησουσιν και το αρνιον νικησει αυτουσ οτι κυριοσ κυριων εστιν και βασιλευσ βασιλεων και οι μετ αυτου κλητοι και εκλεκτοι και πιστοι

These shall fight with the Lambe, and the Lambe shall ouercome them: for he is Lord of Lordes, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithfull.

15 και λεγει μοι τα υδατα α ειδεσ ου η πορνη καθηται λαοι και οχλοι εισιν και εθνη και γλωσσαι

And he said vnto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16 και τα δεκα κερατα α ειδεσ και το θηριον ουτοι μισησουσιν την πορνην και ηρημωμενην ποιησουσιν αυτην και γυμνην ποιησουσιν αυτην και τασ σαρκασ αυτησ φαγονται και αυτην κατακαυσουσιν εν πυρι

And the tenne hornes which thou sawest vpon the beast, are they that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eate her flesh, and burne her with fire.

17 ο γαρ θεοσ εδωκεν εισ τασ καρδιασ αυτων ποιησαι την γνωμην αυτου και ποιησαι γνωμην μιαν και δουναι την βασιλειαν αυτων τω θηριω αχρι τελεσθωσιν οι λογοι του θεου

For God hath put in their heartes to fulfill his will, and to doe with one consent for to giue their kingdome vnto the beast, vntill the wordes of God be fulfilled.

18 και η γυνη ην ειδεσ εστιν η πολισ η μεγαλη η εχουσα βασιλειαν επι των βασιλεων τησ γησ

And that woman which thou sawest, is that great citie, which reigneth ouer the kings of ye earth.
