Откровение ап. Иоанна Богослова 17
1 И прииде един от седми Ангел имущих седмь фиал, и глагола со мною, глаголя ми: прииди, да покажу ти суд любодейцы великия, седящия на водах многих:
And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, 'Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters,
2 с неюже любодеяша царие земстии, и упишася живущии на земли от вина любодеяния ея.
with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;'
3 И веде мя в пусто место духом: и видех жену седящу на звери червлене, исполненем имен хулных, иже имеяше глав седмь и рогов десять.
and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,
4 И жена бе облечена в порфиру и червленицу, и позлащена златом и камением драгим и бисером, имущи чашу злату в руце своей полну мерзости и скверн любодеяния ея:
and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, 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 и на челе ея написано имя: тайна, Вавилон великий, мати любодейцам и мерзостем земским.
and upon her forehead was a name written: 'Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.'
6 И видех жену пияну кровьми святых и кровьми свидетелей Иисусовых, и дивихся, видев ю, дивом великим.
And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder — having seen her — with great wonder;
7 И рече ми Ангел: что дивишися? Аз ти реку тайну жены (сея) и зверя носящаго ю, седмь глав имуща и рогов десять.
and the messenger said to me, 'Wherefore didst thou wonder? I — I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 Зверь, егоже видел еси, бе, и несть, и имать взыти от бездны, и в пагубу пойдет: и удивятся живущии на земли, имже имена не написана суть в книгу животную от сложения мира, видяще, яко зверь бе, и несть, и преста. (Abyssos g12)
'The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. (Abyssos g12)
9 Зде ум, иже имать мудрость. Седмь глав горы суть седмь, идеже жена седит на них,
'Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit,
10 и царие седмь суть: пять их пало, и един есть, (а) другий еще не прииде: и егда приидет, мало ему есть пребыти.
and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;
11 И зверь, иже бе и несть, и той осмый есть, и от седмих есть, и в пагубу идет.
and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away.
12 И десять рогов, яже видел еси, десять царей суть, иже царства еще не прияша, но область яко царие на един час приимут со зверем.
'And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast,
13 Сии едину волю имут, и силу и область свою зверю дадут:
these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over;
14 сии со Агнцем брань сотворят, и Агнец победит я, яко Господь господем есть и Царь царем: и сущии с Ним званнии и избраннии и верни.
these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.'
15 И глагола ми: воды, яже еси видел, идеже любодейца седит, людие и народи суть, и племена и языцы.
And he saith to me, 'The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;'
16 И десять рогов, яже видел еси на звери, сии любодейцу возненавидят, и запустевшу сотворят ю и нагу, и плоть ея снедят, и сожгут ю огнем:
and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire,
17 Бог бо дал есть в сердца их, сотворити волю Его, и сотворити едину волю, и дати царство свое зверю, дондеже скончаются глаголголы Божии.
for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete,
18 И жена, юже видел еси, град есть великий, иже имать царство над цари земными.
and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.'
