Revelasyon 18
1 Apre bagay sa yo, mwen te wè yon lòt zanj k ap desann sòti nan syèl la, avèk gwo otorite, e tè a te byen klere avèk glwa li.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 Epi li te kriye avèk yon gwo vwa, e t ap di: “Tonbe, tonbe, se Babylone Le Gran! Li gen tan vini yon kote pou dyab rete, ak yon prizon pou tout kalite lespri sal, e yon prizon pou tout kalite zwazo sal e abominab.
He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
3 Paske tout nasyon yo te bwè diven a pasyon imoralite li a, wa latè yo te komèt zak imoralite avè l, e machann latè yo te vin rich avèk richès sansyalite li yo.”
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
4 Mwen te tande yon lòt vwa soti nan syèl la ki t ap di: “Sòti kite li, pèp mwen an, pou nou pa patisipe nan peche li yo e resevwa fleyo li yo.
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
5 Paske peche li yo anpile vin menm wotè ak syèl la, e Bondye sonje tout inikite li yo.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Remèt li menm jan li te bay la, e ba li anretou de fwa selon zèv li yo. Nan gode ke li te fè melanj lan, fè melanj lan otan de fwa pou li.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Nan degre ke li te bay tèt li glwa a e viv nan sansyalite a, nan menm degre a, toumante l, e ba li doulè. Paske li di nan kè li: “Mwen chita tankou yon rèn, mwen pa yon vèv, mwen p ap janm wè doulè.”
However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
8 Pou rezon sa a, nan yon jou, fleyo li yo va vini; lapès, lapèn ak gwo grangou. E li va brile avèk dife, paske Senyè Bondye ki jije li a, pwisan.
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 “Epi wa latè yo ki te komèt zak imoralite e ki te viv selon lachè avè l yo, va kriye e lamante sou li lè yo wè lafimen monte pandan l ap brile a.
The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 Y ap kanpe a yon distans akoz de pè a toumant li an, e y ap di:” ‘Malè, malè, gran vil, Babylone nan, vil ki fò a! Paske, nan yon èdtan, jijman ou gen tan rive.’
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
11 “Konsa, machann latè yo kriye e lamante sou li paske pèsòn pa achte machandiz yo ankò.
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
12 Machandiz lò, ajan, pyè presye, pèl, ak lèn fen, koulè mov, twal swa, wouj, tout kalite bwa sitwon ak tout kalite ivwa, tout atik ki fèt ak bwa ki koute chè, bwonz, fè, ak wòch mab.
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 Epi kanèl, epis, lansan, pafen, lwil doliv, farin fen, ble, bèf, mouton, ak kago bato cheval, cha, esklav, ak lavi moun.
and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 “Fwi nou anvi yo disparèt, tout bagay ki te swa, chè oswa ekstrawòdinè yo te pase kite nou e moun p ap twouve yo ankò.
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
15 Machann a bagay sa yo, ki te vin rich akoz gran vil sa a va kanpe a yon distans akoz perèz toumant li an, yo va kriye e lamante.
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 Yo va di: “Malè, malè, gran vil la, sila ki te abiye an lèn fen, mov e wouj la, ki te anbeli ak lò, pyè presye, ak pèl yo;
saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 Paske nan yon èdtan, gran richès sa a gen tan vin gaspiye!” Epi tout kaptenn bato ak tout pasaje, tout maren e tout sila ki fè lavi yo nan travay lanmè yo, te kanpe a yon distans.
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 “E yo t ap kriye anmwey lè yo te wè lafimen dife li a, e t ap di: “Ki vil ki tankou gran vil sila a?”
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
19 Konsa, yo te jete pousyè sou tèt yo e t ap rele fò, kriye, lamante e t ap di: “Malè, malè a gran vil sa a, ladann tout moun ki te gen bato sou lanmè yo te vin rich pa richès li, paske nan yon èdtan, li vin gaspiye nèt!”
They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
20 “Rejwi sou li, o syèl, e nou menm, sen, apot ak pwofèt yo, paske Bondye te pwononse jijman pou nou kont li.”
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
21 Answit, yon zanj pwisan te pran yon gwo wòch tankou yon wòch moulen. Li te voye l nan lanmè a e te di: “Konsa, gran vil la, Babylone, va jete avèk vyolans, e li p ap twouve ankò.
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 Konsa, son sila k ap jwe ap yo, mizisyen yo, sila k ap jwe flit ak twonpèt yo p ap tande nan ou ankò. P ap ankò gen moun okenn metye k ap twouve nan ou ankò. Ni bri moulen an p ap tande nan ou.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 Menm limyè a yon lanp p ap briye nan ou, e vwa jennonm ak jenn fi k ap marye yo p ap tande nan ou ankò. “Paske machann ou yo te gwo moun sou latè, epi tout nasyon yo te twonpe pa wanga ou a.
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 Nan li menm te twouve san a pwofèt ak sen yo, ak tout sila ki te touye sou latè yo.”
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
