< Apocalypsis 18 >
1 Et post haec vidi alium Angelum descendentem de caelo, habentem potestatem magnam: et terra illuminata est a gloria eius.
And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory,
2 Et exclamavit in fortitudine, dicens: Cecidit, cecidit Babylon magna: et facta est habitatio daemoniorum, et custodia omnis spiritus immundi, et custodia omnis volucris immundae, et odibilis:
and he did cry in might — a great voice, saying, 'Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,
3 quia de vino irae fornicationis eius biberunt omnes gentes: et reges terrae cum illa fornicati sunt: et mercatores terrae de virtute deliciarum eius divites facti sunt.
because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich.
4 Et audivi aliam vocem de caelo, dicentem: Exite de illa populus meus: ut ne participes sitis delictorum eius, et de plagis eius non accipiatis.
And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, 'Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,
5 Quoniam pervenerunt peccata eius usque ad caelum, et recordatus est Dominus iniquitatum eius.
because her sins did follow — unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness.
6 Reddite illi sicut et ipsa reddidit vobis: et duplicate duplicia secundum opera eius: in poculo, quo miscuit vobis, miscete illi duplum.
Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.
7 Quantum glorificavit se, et in deliciis fuit, tantum date illi tormentum et luctum: quia in corde suo dicit: Sedeo regina: et vidua non sum: et luctum non videbo.
'As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;
8 Ideo in una die venient plagae eius, mors, et luctus, et fames, et igne comburetur: quia fortis est Deus, qui iudicabit illam.
because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her;
9 Et flebunt, et plangent se super illam reges terrae, qui cum illa fornicati sunt, et in deliciis vixerunt, cum viderint fumum incendii eius:
and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning,
10 longe stantes propter timorem tormentorum eius, dicentes: Vae, vae civitas illa magna Babylon, civitas illa fortis: quoniam una hora venit iudicium tuum.
from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment.
11 Et negotiatores terrae flebunt, et lugebunt super illam: quoniam merces eorum nemo emet amplius:
'And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more;
12 merces auri, et argenti, et lapidis pretiosi, et margaritae, et byssi, et purpurae, et serici, et cocci, (et omne lignum thyinum, et omnia vasa eboris, et omnia vasa de lapide pretioso, et aeramento, et ferro, et marmore,
lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,
13 et cinnamomum) et amomum et odoramentorum, et unguenti, et turis, et vini, et olei, et similae, et tritici, et iumentorum, et ovium, et equorum, et rhedarum, et mancipiorum, et animarum hominum.
and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.
14 Et poma desiderii animae tuae discesserunt a te, et omnia pinguia, et praeclara perierunt a te, et amplius illa iam non invenient.
'And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things — the dainty and the bright — did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.
15 Mercatores horum, qui divites facti sunt, ab ea longe stabunt propter timorem tormentorum eius, flentes, ac lugentes,
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing,
16 et dicentes: Vae, vae civitas illa magna, quae amicta erat bysso, et purpura, et cocco, et deaurata erat auro, et lapide pretioso, et margaritis:
and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls — because in one hour so much riches were made waste!
17 quoniam una hora destitutae sunt tantae divitiae, et omnis gubernator, et omnis, qui in lacum navigat, et nautae, et qui in mari operantur, longe steterunt,
'And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood,
18 et clamaverunt videntes locum incendii eius, dicentes: Quae similis civitati huic magnae?
and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city?
19 Et miserunt pulverem super capita sua, et clamaverunt flentes, et lugentes, dicentes: Vae, vae civitas illa magna, in qua divites facti sunt omnes, qui habebant naves in mari de pretiis eius: quoniam una hora desolata est.
and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness — for in one hour was she made waste.
20 Exulta super eam caelum, et sancti Apostoli, et Prophetae: quoniam iudicavit Deus iudicium vestrum de illa.
'Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'
21 Et sustulit unus Angelus fortis lapidem quasi molarem magnum, et misit in mare, dicens: Hoc impetu mittetur Babylon civitas illa magna, et ultra iam non invenietur.
And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great millstone, and did cast [it] to the sea, saying, 'Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found any more at all;
22 Et vox citharoedorum, et musicorum, et tibia canentium, et tuba non audietur in te amplius: et omnis artifex omnis artis non invenietur in te amplius: et vox molae non audietur in te amplius:
and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any artisan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any more;
23 et lux lucernae non lucebit in te amplius: et vox sponsi, et sponsae non audietur adhuc in te: quia mercatores tui erant principes terrae, quia in veneficiis tuis erraverunt omnes gentes.
and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,
24 Et in ea sanguis prophetarum et sanctorum inventus est: et omnium, qui interfecti sunt in terra.
and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.'
