Apokalipsa 17
1 I doðe jedan od sedam anðela koji imahu sedam èaša, i govori sa mnom govoreæi mi: hodi da ti pokažem sud kurve velike, koja sjedi na vodama mnogima;
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither; I will show to thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;
2 S kojom se kurvaše carevi zemaljski, i koji žive na zemlji opiše se vinom kurvarstva njezina.
With whom the kings of the earth have committed lewd deeds, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her lewdness.
3 I uvede me duh u pusto mjesto; i vidjeh ženu gdje sjedi na zvijeri crvenoj koja bješe puna imena hulnijeh i imaše sedam glava i deset rogova.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 I žena bješe obuèena u porfiru i skerlet i nakiæena zlatom i kamenjem dragijem i biserom, i imaše èašu u ruci svojoj punu mrzosti i poganštine kurvarstva svojega;
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet-color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her lewdness:
5 I na èelu njezinu napisano ime: tajna, Vavilon veliki, mati kurvama i mrzostima zemaljskima.
And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I vidjeh ženu pijanu od krvi svetijeh i od krvi svjedoka Isusovijeh; i zaèudih se èudom velikijem kad je vidjeh.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 I reèe mi anðeo: šta se èudiš? Ja æu ti kazati tajnu ove žene, i zvijeri što je nosi i ima sedam glava i deset rogova.
And the angel said to me, Why didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 Zvijer, koju si vidio bješe i nije, i iziæi æe iz bezdana i otiæi æe u propast; i udiviæe se koji žive na zemlji, kojima imena napisana nijesu u knjigu života od postanja svijeta, kad vide zvijer, koja bješe, i nije, i doæi æe opet. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that thou sawest, was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)
9 Ovdje je um, koji ima mudrost. Sedam glava, to su sedam gora na kojima žena sjedi.
And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 I jesu sedam careva. Pet je njih palo, i jedan jest, a drugi još nije došao; i kad doðe za malo æe ostati.
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, [and] the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short time.
11 I zvijer koja bješe i nije, i ona je osmi, i jest od sedmorice i u propast ide.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 I deset rogova, koje si vidio, to su deset careva, koji carstva još ne primiše, nego æe oblast kao carevi na jedno vrijeme primiti sa zvijeri.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 Ovi jednu volju imaju, i silu i oblast svoju daæe zvijeri.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast.
14 Ovi æe se pobiti s jagnjetom, i jagnje æe ih pobijediti, jer je gospodar nad gospodarima i car nad carevima; i koji su s njim, jesu pozvani i izbrani i vjerni.
These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 I reèe mi: vode, što si vidio, gdje sjedi kurva, ono su ljudi i narodi, i plemena i jezici.
And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and languages.
16 I deset rogova, što si vidio na zvijeri, oni æe omrznuti na kurvu, i opustošiæe je i ogoluzniti, i meso njezino poješæe i sažeæi æe je ognjem.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 Jer je Bog dao u srca njihova da uèine volju njegovu, i da uèine volju jednu, i da dadu carstvo svoje zvijeri, dok se svrše rijeèi Božije.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 I žena, koju si vidio, jest grad veliki, koji ima carstvo nad carevima zemaljskima.
And the woman whom thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
