प्रकाश 17
1 सातवटा कचौरा लिएका सात जना स्वर्गदूतमध्ये एक जनाले मकहाँ आएर भने, “आऊ, म तिमीलाई धेरै पानीमाथि बसेकी त्यस महावेश्यालाई दिएको दण्डलाई देखाउनेछु ।
And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven cups, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot that sits on many waters,
2 त्यससँग पृथ्वीका राजाहरूले यौन अनैतिकता गरेका छन् । पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू त्यसको यौन अनैतिकताको मद्यले मातेका छन् ।”
with whom the kings of the earth have practiced lewdness, and with the wine of whose lewdness the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk.
3 त्यसपछि स्वर्गदूतले मलाई आत्मामा बोकेर उजाड-स्थानतिर लगे, र निन्दा गर्ने पुरै नाउँहरूले भरिएकी रातो रङको पशुमाथि बसेकी एउटी स्त्रीलाई मैले देखेँ । त्यस जनावरको सातवटा टाउका र दसवटा सिङ थिए ।
And he carried me away in spirit into the wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, that was full of impious names, and that had seven heads and ten horns.
4 त्यस स्त्रीले बैजनी र रातो चहकिलो पोशाक लगाएकी र सुन, बहुमूल्य मणि र मोतीहरूले सिँगारिएकी थिई । घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू र यौन अनैतिकताका अशुद्ध थोकहरूले भरिएको एउटा सुनको कचौरा त्यसले हातमा समातिरहेकी थिई ।
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had in her hand a golden cup full of idolatrous pollutions, and the impurities of her lewdness.
5 एउटा रहस्यको अर्थ भएको नाउँ त्यसको निधारमा लेखिएको थियोः “पृथ्वीमा भएका घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू र वेश्याहरूकी आमा महान् बेबिलोन ।”
And on her forehead was a name written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND OF THE IDOLATROUS POLLUTIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 मैले त्यस स्त्रीले विश्वासीहरूको रगत र येशूको निम्ति सहिद भएकाहरूको रगत पिएर मातेकी देखेँ । जब मैले त्यसलाई देखेँ, तब म सार्है नै चकित भएँ ।
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus; and when I saw her, I wondered with great astonishment.
7 तर स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “तिमी किन चकित हुन्छौँ? म तिमीलाई त्यो स्त्री र त्यसलाई बोक्ने सातवटा टाउका र दसवटा सिङ भएको पशुको रहस्यको अर्थ बताउनेछु ।
And the angel said to me: Why did you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, that has seven heads and ten horns.
8 तिमीले देखेको त्यो पशु अस्तित्वमा थियो र अहिले अस्तित्वमा छैन, तर अगाध खाँदबाट माथि निस्कन लागेको छ । तब यो विनाशतिर जानेछ । पृथ्वीमा जिउनेहरू जसका नाउँ संसारको उत्पत्तिदेखि जीवनको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छैनन्, तिनीहरू त्यो पशुलाई देखेर चकित पर्नेछन्, किनभने त्यो अस्तित्वमा थियो, अहिले अस्तित्वमा छैन, तर आउनै लागेको छ । (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw, was, and is not, and will come out of the abyss, and go to perdition; and those who dwell on the earth, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, when they see the beast that was, and is not, though he is yet present. (Abyssos g12)
9 यसले बुद्धि भएको मनलाई आव्हान गर्छ । सातवटा टाउका सातवटा डाँडा हुन् जसमाथि त्यो स्त्री बसेकी छे ।
Here is the mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
10 तिनीहरू सात राजाहरू पनि हुन् । पाँच जना राजा पतन भइसकेका छन्, एक जना अस्तित्वमा छ, र एक जना अहिलेसम्म आएको छैन । जब त्यो आउँछ, तब केही समयका लागि रहन्छ ।
And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain but a little while.
11 त्यो पशु अस्तित्वमा थियो, तर अहिले अस्तित्वमा छैन । त्यो आफैँ पनि आठौँ राजा हो, तर ती सात राजामध्ये त्यो एक हो, तर त्यो नष्ट हुन गइरहेको छ ।
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to perdition.
12 तिमीले देखेका दसवटा सिङ दस जना राजा हुन्, जसले अहिलेसम्म राज्य प्राप्त गरेका छैनन्, तर त्यो पशुसँगै तिनीहरूले एक घण्टाका निम्ति राजाकै अधिकार प्राप्त गर्नेछन् ।
And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet, but receive authority as kings at the same time with the beast.
13 यिनीहरूको एउटै विचार छ, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो शक्ति र अधिकार त्यो पशुलाई दिन्छन् ।
These have one mind, and will give their power and authority to the beast.
14 तिनीहरूले थुमाको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्नेछन् । तर थुमाले तिनीहरूलाई जित्नुहुनेछ, किनभने उहाँ प्रभुहरूका प्रभु र राजाहरूका राजा हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँसँग हुनेहरू बोलाइएका, छानिएका र विश्वासयोग्यहरू हुन् ।”
These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.
15 ती स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “तिमीले देखेको पानीमाथि जहाँ त्यो वेश्या बसेकी छे, त्यो पानी मानिसहरू, भिड, जाति र भाषाहरू हुन् ।”
And he said to me: The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
16 तिमीले देखेका दसवटा सिङ र त्यो पशुले त्यो वेश्यालाई घृणा गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई एकलो र नाङगै पारेर त्यसको शरीरलाई सिद्ध्याउनेछन्, र त्यसलाई तिनीहरूले आगोले पूर्ण रूपमा डढाउनेछन् ।
And the ten horns that you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.
17 किनभने परमेश्वरको वचन पुरा नहोउञ्जेलसम्म एउटै मनको भई तिनीहरूले आफ्नो अधिकार त्यो पशुलाई राज्य गर्न दिन उहाँको उद्देश्य पुरा हुनलाई परमेश्वरले यस्तो विचार हलिदिनुभयो ।
For God has put into their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and to give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be accomplished.
18 तिमीले देखेको त्यो स्त्री पृथ्वीका राजाहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने महानगरी हो ।”
And the woman that you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.
