Apokalypsy 17
1 Nomb’ amako mb’eo ty raik’ amy anjely fito amam-pinga fito rey nanao ty hoe: Mb’ etoañe, hitoroako ty zaka hifetsak’ amy tsimirirañe folo-ay mitobok’ amo rano marooy,
And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven bowls, and he spoke with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show to you the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting on the many waters,
2 i nanoa’ o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio hakarapiloañe naho nahamamo o mpimone’ ty tane toio amy divain-kakarapiloa’eiy.
with whom the kings of the earth committed whoredom; and those inhabiting the earth were made drunk from the wine of her whoredom”;
3 Le nindese’ i anjeliy añ’ arofo mb’an-dratraratra añe iraho. Le nitreako ty rakemba niningitse ami’ty biby mena mañabasà, àtseke ty añaram-piterateràñe, aman-doha fito naho tsifa folo.
and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of slander, having seven heads and ten horns,
4 Nisaroñe lamba malò-mavo naho mena mañabarà i rakembay vaho nihamineñe volamena naho vatosoa naho hange, vaho an-taña’e ao ty fitovy volamena pea hativañe milaro ty haleoran-katsimirira’e.
and the woman was clothed with purple and scarlet-color, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,
5 Nipatereñe am-pela-handri’e eo ty añarañe, toe tafatoño: Babolone Jabajaba, Renen-Tsimirirañe naho o raha tiva’ ty tane toio.
and on her forehead was a name written: “SECRET, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES, AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
6 Le naheoko i rakembay te jike ami’ty lio’ o noro’eo naho ami’ty lio’ o ninday ty taro’ Iesoào, aa ie nisambaeko, le niloho latsa.
And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the holy ones, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I wondered—having seen her—with great wonder;
7 Le hoe i anjeliy tamako: Inoñ’ o ilatsà’oo? Hatoroko azo ty raha mietak’ amy rakembay naho ty amy biby aman-doha fito naho tsifa folo minday azey.
and the messenger said to me, “For this reason did you wonder? I will tell you the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 I biby nitrea’oy le teo, fa tsy eo, vaho fa hiakatse boak’ an-tsikeokeok’ ao mb’ am-pirotsaha’e mb’eo. Hahalatsa o mpimoneñe an-tane atoy tsy pinatetse amy boken-kaveloñe tam-pifotora’ ty voatse toio, t’ie hahaisake i biby teo naho tsy eo vaho mbe ho aviy. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw: it was, and it is not, and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and those dwelling on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written on the Scroll of Life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. (Abyssos g12)
9 Inao ty itsakoreañe an-kihitse: I loha fito rey ro vohitse fito iambesara’ i rakembay,
Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,
10 naho mpanjaka fito, fa nihotrake ty lime, eo ty raike, mbe tsy niavy ty raike; fa ie avy, le tsy mahay tsy ho eo betebeteke.
and there are seven kings, the five fell, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it is necessary for him to remain a short time;
11 I biby teo, fa tsy eoy; ie ty mpanjaka faha valo, mireketse amy fito rey, vaho mb’am-pirotsahañe ao.
and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and he is out of the seven, and he goes away to destruction.
12 I tsifa folo niisa’o rey, le mpanjaka folo mboe tsy nandrambe fifeheañe, f’ie mahazo lily ho mpanjaka mindre amy bibiy ora raike.
And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who did not yet receive a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast;
13 Raike ty firefea’ iareo vaho hatolo’ iareo amy bibiy ty haozarañe naho ty lili’ iareo.
these have one mind, and they will give over their own power and authority to the beast;
14 Hialy amy Vik’ añondriy iareo, fa ho rebahe’ i Vik’ añondriy, amy te Ie ro Talèn-drotompo naho Mpifehem-panjaka, le kinanjy naho jinoboñe vaho migahiñe o mpiama’eo.
these will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those with Him are called, and chosen, and steadfast.”
15 Le hoe re tamako: O rano niisa’o itoboha’ i tsimirirañeio, le ondaty naho valobohòke naho fifeheañe vaho fameleke.
And he says to me, “The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;
16 Le i tsifa folo niisa’o amy bibiy rey ro halaiñe i tsimirirañey, hampidoñ’ aze ho vahiny naho miboridañe; habotse’ iereo ty nofo’e vaho hamorototo aze añ’afo.
and the ten horns that you saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her in fire,
17 Fa nentoen’ Añahare añ’ arofo’ iareo ty hañeneke i satri’ey, naho hitrao-drehake vaho hanolotse ty fifehea’ iareo amy bibiy ampara’ te heneke o saontsin’ Añahareo.
for God gave into their hearts to do His purpose, and to make one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the sayings of God may be fulfilled,
18 I rakemba niisa’oy, le i rova jabajaba mifehe o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio.
and the woman that you saw is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the earth.”
