< 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 ।
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 त्यससँग पृथ्वीका राजाहरूले यौन अनैतिकता गरेका छन् । पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू त्यसको यौन अनैतिकताको मद्यले मातेका छन् ।”
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 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 ।
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 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 ।
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 एउटा रहस्यको अर्थ भएको नाउँ त्यसको निधारमा लेखिएको थियोः “पृथ्वीमा भएका घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू र वेश्याहरूकी आमा महान् बेबिलोन ।”
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 मैले त्यस स्त्रीले विश्वासीहरूको रगत र येशूको निम्ति सहिद भएकाहरूको रगत पिएर मातेकी देखेँ । जब मैले त्यसलाई देखेँ, तब म सार्है नै चकित भएँ ।
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 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 ।
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 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 )
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 )
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 ।
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 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 ।
The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
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 ।
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 यिनीहरूको एउटै विचार छ, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो शक्ति र अधिकार त्यो पशुलाई दिन्छन् ।
These have one mind, and they 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 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 ती स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “तिमीले देखेको पानीमाथि जहाँ त्यो वेश्या बसेकी छे, त्यो पानी मानिसहरू, भिड, जाति र भाषाहरू हुन् ।”
He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
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 ।
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 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 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 तिमीले देखेको त्यो स्त्री पृथ्वीका राजाहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने महानगरी हो ।”
The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
