Hoikeana 17
1 HELE mai la kekahi o na anela ehiku, ia lakou na hue ehiku, a kamailio mai ia'u, i mai la, Hele mai; na'u no e hoike aku ia oe i ke ahewaia o ka wahine hookamakama nui e noho ana maluna o na wai nui.
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
2 Me ia no i moe kolohe ai na'lii o ka honua, a ua ona hoi ka poe e noho la ma ka honua i ka waina o kona moe kolohe ana.
with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."
3 Kai ae la ia ia'u ma ka uhane a i ka waonahele; a ike aku la au he wahine e noho ana maluna o ka holoholona ula, paapu i na inoa o ke kuamuamu, ehiku ona poo a he umi pepeiaohao.
He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Ua hoaahuia ka wahine i ka lole poni a me ka ula, ua hoonaniia e ke gula, a me ka pohaku maikai, a me na momi; he kiaha gula ma kona lima, ua piha i na mea hoopailua a me na mea paumaele o kona moe kolohe ana.
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
5 A ua palapalaia ka inoa ma kona lae, KA MEA HUNA, BABULONA NUI, KA MAKUWAHINE O NA WAHINE HOOKAMAKAMA A ME NA MEA HOOPAILUA O KA HONUA.
And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
6 A ike aku la au i ua wahine la, ua ona i ke koko o ka poe haipule, a me ke koko o ka poe hoike aku ia Iesu; a i ko'u ike ana, kahaha aku la au, me ka manao kahaha nui loa.
I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
7 I mai la ka anela ia'u, No ke aha la oe e kahaha mai nei? Na'u no e hai aku ia oe i ka mea huna o ka wahine, a me ka holoholona nana ia i lawe, ehiku hoi ona mau poo, a he umi pepeiaohao.
The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 O ka holoholona au i ike ai, mamua ia, i keia wa hoi, aole; a mahope e pii mai no ia mailoko mai o ka lua hohonu, a e hele ana i ka make. E kahaha hoi ka poe noho ma ka honua, ka poe aole i kakauia ko lakou inoa ma ka buke o ke ola mai ka hookumu ana mai o ka honua, i ko lakou ike ana i ka holoholona, i ka mea mamua, a i keia wa aole, a e noho ana hoi. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and is going to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, but is to come. (Abyssos g12)
9 Eia hoi ka naau akamai, Oia mau poo ehiku, ehiku ia mau puu o kahi a ka wahine e noho ai maluna iho o lakou.
Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
10 Ehiku hoi alii. Elima o lakou i haule, a eia hoi kekahi, a o kekahi aole i hiki mai i neia wa: a hiki mai ia, e noho no ia i ka wa pokole.
They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
11 A o ka holoholona, ka mea mamua, aole hoi i neia wa, oia ka walu, a no na mea ehiku no hoi ia, a ke hele aku nei i ka make.
The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
12 A o na pepeiaohao he umi au i ike ai, he umi ia mau alii, i loaa ole ia lakou ke aupuni i neia wa; aka, e loaa no ia lakou ka mana, e like me na'lii, no ka hora hookahi, me ua holoholona la.
The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
13 Hookahi no a lakou nei manao, a e haawi no lakou i ko lakou mana a me ko lakou ikaika i ka holoholona.
These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 E kaua aku lakou nei i ke Keikihipa, a e lanakila mai ke Keikihipa maluna o lakou; no ka mea, oia ka Haku o na haku, a me ke Alii o na'lii; a o ka poe pu me ia, ua heaia mai lakou, a ua waeia hoi, a ua paulele pono.
These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
15 I mai la kela ia'u, o na wai au i ike ai, o kahi noho ai a ka wahine hookamakama, oia na lahuikanaka, a me na lehulehu, a me na aupuni, a me na olelo.
He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
16 A o na pepeiaohao he umi au i ike ai, a me ka holoholona, e huhu lakou nei i ka wahine hookamakama, a e hao lakou ia ia, a e hele wale oia, a e ai hoi lakou i kona io, a e puhi aku ia ia i ke ahi.
The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
17 No ka mea, ua haawi ke Akua na ko lakou naau e hana i kona makemake, a e lokahi ka manao e haawi i ko lakou aupuni i ka holoholona, a pau ka olelo a ke Akua i ka hookoia.
For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
18 A o ka wahine au i ike ai, oia ke kulanakauhale nui, e hooalii ana maluna o na'lii o ka honua.
The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
