Apokalypsy 18
1 Rehefa afaka izany, dia hitako fa indro, nisy anjely izay koa nidina avy tany an-danitra, nanana fahefana lehibe; ary ny tany nohazavain’ ny voninahiny.
After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
2 Ary niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery izy ka nanao hoe: Rava! rava Babylona lehibe! ka tonga fonenan’ ny demonia sy fieren’ ny fanahy maloto rehetra ary akanin’ ny vorona rehetra izay maloto sy ankahalaina.
And he cried out with a strong voice saying: “It fell, it fell, Babylon the great! and has become a dwelling place of demons, even a prison of every unclean spirit, also a prison of every unclean and detestable bird.
3 Fa tamin’ ny divain’ ny fahatezerana noho ny fijangajangany no nahalavoan’ ny firenena rehetra, ary ny mpanjakan’ ny tany nijangajanga taminy, ary ny mpandranto amin’ ny tany tonga mpanankarena noho ny hafatratry ny nitiavan’ io ny zava-mahafinaritra ny tena.
Because all the nations have drunk of the rage of the wine of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich through the strength of her luxury.”
4 Ary nahare feo iray koa avy tany an-danitra aho nanao hoe: Mialà aminy ianareo, ry oloko, mba tsy hiombonanareo ota aminy, ary mba tsy hisy hahazo anareo ny loza manjo azy.
And I heard another Voice from heaven saying: “Come out of her, my people, so as not to participate in her sins and so as not to receive of her plagues.
5 Fa ny fahotany efa nitehika tamin’ ny lanitra, ary Andriamanitra efa nahatsiaro ny ratsy nataony.
For her sins have reached to heaven and God has remembered about her her iniquities.
6 Mamalia azy araka izay nataony, ka omeo azy indroa heny toy ny nataony izy; ny kapoaka izay nofenoiny, dia fenoy indroa heny ho azy.
Render to her just as she rendered to you; yes, pay her back double, according to her deeds; in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.
7 Toraka itsy niderany tena sy nivelomany tamin’ ny zava-mahafinaritra ny tena, dia omeo fanaintainana sy alahelo toraka izany koa izy, satria hoy izy anakampo: Mipetraka ho mpanjakavavy aho, fa tsy mpitondratena, ary tsy mba hahita alahelo mihitsy aho;
To the extent that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, by so much give her torment; because in her heart she says, ‘I sit a queen, and am not a widow; and I will certainly not see sorrow.’
8 koa noho izany dia ho tonga indray andro monja izao loza hanjo azy izao, dia fahafatesana sy fisaonana ary mosary, ary ho levon’ ny afo izy; fa mahery ny Tompo Andriamanitra, Izay nitsara azy.
Therefore her plagues will come in one day death and sorrow and famine and she will be burned up with fire; because the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny tany, izay nijangajanga taminy sy niara-nanaram-po taminy tamin’ ny zava-mahafinaritra ny tena, dia hiteha-tratra sy hitomany ary, raha mahita ny setroky ny fandoroana azy;
“The kings of the earth who fornicated and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
10 eny, hijanona eny lavitra eny izy noho ny fahatahorana ny fanaintainany ka hanao hoe: Indrisy! Indrisy! Babylona, izay tanàna lehibe! ry ilay tanàna mafy! fa tamin’ ny ora izay monja dia tonga ny fitsarana anao.
standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city Babylon, O mighty city! Because your judgment came in one hour.’
11 Ary ny mpandranto amin’ ny tany dia hitomany sy hisaona azy; fa tsy hisy mpividy intsony ny entany:
“And the merchants of the earth weep and sorrow over her, because no one buys their goods anymore:
12 dia entana volamena sy volafotsy sy vato soa sy perila sy rongony fotsy madinika sy lamba volomparasy sy landy sy jaky sy hazo mani-pofona, sy ny fanaka ivory rehetra mbamin’ ny fanaka rehetra amin’ ny hazo saro-bidy indrindra sy varahina sy vy ary vato sanga,
goods of gold and of silver, of precious stones and of pearl, of fine linen and of purple, of silk and of scarlet; every citron wood and object of ivory, every object of most precious wood and of bronze and of iron and of marble;
13 sy havozomamy sy zavatra mani-pofona sy ditin-kazo sy menaka manitra sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona, sy divay sy diloilo sy lafarina tsara toto sy vary tritika sy omby sy ondry sy soavaly sy kalesy ary tena sy ain’ olona.
cinnamon and incense and perfume and frankincense, wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep and horses and carriages, and bodies and souls of men!”
14 Ary ny vokatra soa nirin’ ny fanahinao dia efa niala taminao, ary ny zava-tsoa rehetra sy ny zava-malaza rehetra dia efa levona tsy ho anao, ary tsy ho hita intsony mandrakizay ireo.
(‘Yes, the fruit that your soul craved has gone from you, and all the sumptuous and splendid things have perished from you, and you will never find them again!’)
15 Ny mpandranto izany zavatra izany, izay efa tonga mpanankarena taminy, dia hijanona eny lavitra eny noho ny fahatahorana ny fanaintainany ka hitomany sy hisaona
“The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand afar off for fear of her torment, weeping and sorrowing
16 ary hanao hoe: Indrisy! indrisy! ilay tanàna lehibe, izay nitafy rongony fotsy madinika sy lamba volomparasy sy jaky ary niravaka volamena sy vato soa ary perila!
and saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city! that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;
17 Fa tamin’ ny ora iray monja no nahafoana ny harena be toy izany. Ary ny mpitondra sambo rehetra sy izay rehetra mandeha eny ambonin’ ny ranomasina sy ny matilo ary izay rehetra manao raharaha any an-dranomasina dia nijanona teny lavitra eny,
because in one hour such great wealth was laid waste.’ “And every ship captain, and all who travel by ship—sailors and as many as work the sea—stood afar off
18 ary raha nahita ny setroky ny fandoroana ary, dia niantso nanao hoe: Aiza intsony re no misy tahaka izany tanàna lehibe izany?
and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’
19 Ary nanopy vovoka hiraraka tamin’ ny lohany izy, dia niantso sady nitomany sy nisaona ka nanao hoe: Indrisy! indrisy! ilay tanàna lehibe, izay nampanan-karena izay rehetra manan-tsambo eny amin’ ny ranomasina noho ny zava-tsaro-bidy tao aminy; fa tamin’ ny ora iray monja no nahafoana izany.
They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and sorrowing and saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city! by which all who had ships in the sea became rich, by her costly abundance; because in one hour she was laid waste.’
20 Mifalia noho izay zavatra nanjo azy ianao, ry lanitra, sy ianareo olona masìna sy ianareo Apostoly, ary ianareo mpaminany; fa Andriamanitra efa nitsara azy ka namaly azy noho ny taminareo.
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, yes you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!”
21 Ary nisy anjely mahery anankiray nibata vato tahaka ny vato lehibe fikosoham-bary, dia nanipy izany tany an-dranomasina ka nanao hoe: Hatsipy mafy toy izany no ho fandrava an’ i Babylona, ilay tanàna lehibe, ka tsy ho hita intsony izy.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the ocean saying: “The great city Babylon will be thrown down violently, and will never be found again.
22 Ary ny feon’ ny mpitendry lokanga sy ny mpitsoka mozika sy ny mpitsoka sodina ary ny mpitsoka trompetra dia tsy ho re eo aminao intsony; ary ny mpiasa rehetra mahay zavatra na inona na inona tsy ho hita eo aminao intsony; ary ny feon’ ny vato fikosoham-bary tsy ho re eo aminao intsony;
The sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; no craftsman of whatever craft will ever be found in you again; the sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again;
23 ary ny fahazavan’ ny jiro tsy mba hahazava eo aminao intsony; ary ny feon’ ny mpampakatra sy ny ampakarina tsy ho re eo aminao intsony; fa lehiben’ ny tany ny mpandrantonao; fa ny ody ratsinao no nentinao namitaka ny firenena rehetra.
the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; the voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again; because your merchants were the magnates of the earth, because by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.”
24 Ary teo anatiny no nahitana ny ran’ ny mpaminany sy ny olona masìna sy itsy rehetra novonoina teny ambonin’ ny tany.
And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, even of all who had been butchered on the earth.
