Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 18
1 μετα ταυτα ειδον αλλον αγγελον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου εχοντα εξουσιαν μεγαλην και η γη εφωτισθη εκ τησ δοξησ αυτου
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 και εκραξεν ισχυρα φωνη λεγων επεσεν βαβυλων η μεγαλη και εγενετο κατοικητηριον δαιμονων και φυλακη παντοσ πνευματοσ ακαθαρτου και φυλακη παντοσ ορνεου ακαθαρτου και μεμισημενου
He cried out with a mighty voice, “Fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, and a haunt for every unclean and hated bird.
3 οτι εκ του οινου του θυμου τησ πορνειασ αυτησ πεπτωκασιν παντα τα εθνη και οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ μετ αυτησ επορνευσαν και οι εμποροι τησ γησ εκ τησ δυναμεωσ του στρηνουσ αυτησ επλουτησαν
For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her luxury.”
4 και ηκουσα αλλην φωνην εκ του ουρανου λεγουσαν εξελθε εξ αυτησ ο λαοσ μου ινα μη συγκοινωνησητε ταισ αμαρτιαισ αυτησ και εκ των πληγων αυτησ ινα μη λαβητε
Then I heard another voice from heaven say, “Come out of her, my people, so that you do not participate in her sins, and so that you do not receive any of her plagues;
5 οτι εκολληθησαν αυτησ αι αμαρτιαι αχρι του ουρανου και εμνημονευσεν ο θεοσ τα αδικηματα αυτησ
for her sins are heaped as high as heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteous acts.
6 αποδοτε αυτη ωσ και αυτη απεδωκεν και διπλωσατε αυτη διπλα κατα τα εργα αυτησ εν τω ποτηριω ω εκερασεν κερασατε αυτη διπλουν
Render to her as she herself has rendered; repay her double according to her works. Mix a double portion for her in the cup she has mixed.
7 οσα εδοξασεν αυτην και εστρηνιασεν τοσουτον δοτε αυτη βασανισμον και πενθοσ οτι εν τη καρδια αυτησ λεγει οτι καθημαι βασιλισσα και χηρα ουκ ειμι και πενθοσ ου μη ιδω
As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same amount of torment and mourning, for in her heart she says, ‘I sit enthroned as a queen; I am not a widow and will never see mourning.’
8 δια τουτο εν μια ημερα ηξουσιν αι πληγαι αυτησ θανατοσ και πενθοσ και λιμοσ και εν πυρι κατακαυθησεται οτι ισχυροσ κυριοσ ο θεοσ ο κρινασ αυτην
Therefore her plagues will come in a single day— death, mourning, and famine. She will be burned up with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
9 και κλαυσουσιν και κοψονται επ αυτην οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ οι μετ αυτησ πορνευσαντεσ και στρηνιασαντεσ οταν βλεπωσιν τον καπνον τησ πυρωσεωσ αυτησ
The kings of the earth who have committed fornication with her and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning.
10 απο μακροθεν εστηκοτεσ δια τον φοβον του βασανισμου αυτησ λεγοντεσ ουαι ουαι η πολισ η μεγαλη βαβυλων η πολισ η ισχυρα οτι μια ωρα ηλθεν η κρισισ σου
In fear of her torment they will stand at a distance and say, “Alas, alas, for the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in a single hour yoʋr judgment has come.”
11 και οι εμποροι τησ γησ κλαυσουσιν και πενθησουσιν επ αυτη οτι τον γομον αυτων ουδεισ αγοραζει ουκετι
The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore,
12 γομον χρυσου και αργυρου και λιθου τιμιου και μαργαριτου και βυσσινου και πορφυρου και σηρικου και κοκκινου και παν ξυλον θυινον και παν σκευοσ ελεφαντινον και παν σκευοσ εκ ξυλου τιμιωτατου και χαλκου και σιδηρου και μαρμαρου
cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of citron wood, all kinds of articles made of ivory, all kinds of articles made of costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
13 και κιναμωμον και θυμιαματα και μυρον και λιβανον και οινον και ελαιον και σεμιδαλιν και σιτον και προβατα και κτηνη και ιππων και ραιδων και σωματων και ψυχασ ανθρωπων
cargo of cinnamon, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, cattle, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
14 και η οπωρα τησ επιθυμιασ τησ ψυχησ σου απηλθεν απο σου και παντα τα λιπαρα και τα λαμπρα απωλετο απο σου και ουκετι αυτα ου μη ευρησ
“The ripe fruit that was the desire of yoʋr soul has gone from yoʋ, and all yoʋr delicacies and splendors are lost to yoʋ; yoʋ will never find them again!”
15 οι εμποροι τουτων οι πλουτησαντεσ απ αυτησ απο μακροθεν στησονται δια τον φοβον του βασανισμου αυτησ κλαιοντεσ και πενθουντεσ
The merchants of these wares, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16 και λεγοντεσ ουαι ουαι η πολισ η μεγαλη η περιβεβλημενη βυσσινον και πορφυρουν και κοκκινον και κεχρυσωμενη χρυσιω και λιθω τιμιω και μαργαριταισ
“Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with precious stone and pearls!
17 οτι μια ωρα ηρημωθη ο τοσουτοσ πλουτοσ και πασ κυβερνητησ και πασ ο επι τοπον πλεων και ναυται και οσοι την θαλασσαν εργαζονται απο μακροθεν εστησαν
For in a single hour such great wealth has been laid waste!” And every shipmaster and seafaring man, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood at a distance
18 και εκραζον βλεποντεσ τον καπνον τησ πυρωσεωσ αυτησ λεγοντεσ τισ ομοια τη πολει τη μεγαλη
and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city is like the great city?”
19 και εβαλον χουν επι τασ κεφαλασ αυτων και εκραζον κλαιοντεσ και πενθουντεσ και λεγοντεσ ουαι ουαι η πολισ η μεγαλη εν η επλουτησαν παντεσ οι εχοντεσ τα πλοια εν τη θαλασση εκ τησ τιμιοτητοσ αυτησ οτι μια ωρα ηρημωθη
They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning aloud, “Alas, alas, for the great city, where all who had ships at sea grew rich from her valuable merchandise! For in a single hour she has been laid waste.
20 ευφραινου επ αυτη ουρανε και οι αγιοι και οι αποστολοι και οι προφηται οτι εκρινεν ο θεοσ το κριμα υμων εξ αυτησ
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her.”
21 και ηρεν εισ αγγελοσ ισχυροσ λιθον ωσ μυλον μεγαν και εβαλεν εισ την θαλασσαν λεγων ουτωσ ορμηματι βληθησεται βαβυλων η μεγαλη πολισ και ου μη ευρεθη ετι
Then a mighty angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, and said, “With such violence Babylon the great city will be thrown down, never to be found again.
22 και φωνη κιθαρωδων και μουσικων και αυλητων και σαλπιστων ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι και πασ τεχνιτησ πασησ τεχνησ ου μη ευρεθη εν σοι ετι και φωνη μυλου ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι
The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters will never be heard in yoʋ again. No craftsman of any trade will ever be found in yoʋ again. The sound of a mill will never be heard in yoʋ again.
23 και φωσ λυχνου ου μη φανη εν σοι ετι και φωνη νυμφιου και νυμφησ ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι οτι οι εμποροι σου ησαν οι μεγιστανεσ τησ γησ οτι εν τη φαρμακεια σου επλανηθησαν παντα τα εθνη
The light of a lamp will never shine in yoʋ again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in yoʋ again. For yoʋr merchants were the magnates of the earth, and all the nations were deceived by yoʋr sorcery.”
24 και εν αυτη αιματα προφητων και αγιων ευρεθη και παντων των εσφαγμενων επι τησ γησ
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.
