Откровение ап. Иоанна Богослова 18
1 И по сих видех ина Ангела сходяща с небесе, имуща область велию: и земля просветися от славы его.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 И возопи в крепости, гласом велиим глаголя: паде, паде Вавилон великий, и бысть жилище бесом и хранитель всякому духу нечисту, и хранилище всех птиц нечистых и ненавидимых: яко от вина ярости любодеяния своего напои вся языки,
He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
3 и царие земстии с нею любы деяша, и купцы земстии от силы пищи ея разбогатеша.
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
4 И слышах глас ин с небесе, глаголющь: изыдите из нея, людие Мои, да не причаститеся грехом ея и от язв ея да не вредитеся:
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
5 яко прилепишася греси ея даже до небесе, и помяну Бог неправды ея.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Воздадите ей, яко и та воздаде вам, и усугубите ей сугубо по делом ея: чашею, еюже черпа (вам), черплите ей сугубо.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Елико прославися и разсвирепе, толико дадите ей мук и рыданий: яко в сердцы своем глаголет, (яко) сежу царицею, и вдова несмь, и рыдания не имам видети.
However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
8 Сего ради во един день приидут язвы ей, смерть и плачь и глад, и огнем сожжена будет, яко крепок Господь Бог судяй ей.
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 И возрыдают и восплачутся ея царие земстии, любы деявшии с нею и разсвирепевшии, егда узрят дым запаления ея,
The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 издалеча стояще за страх мук ея, глаголюще: горе, горе, град великий Вавилон, град крепкий, яко во един час прииде суд твой.
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
11 И купцы земстии возрыдают и восплачутся о нем, яко бремен их никтоже купует ктому,
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
12 бремен злата и сребра, и камения драгаго и бисера, и висса и порфиры, и шелка и червени, и всякаго древа фиинна, и всякаго сосуда из кости слоновыя, и всякаго сосуда от древа честнаго, и медяна и железна и мраморна,
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 и корицы и фимиама, и мира и ливана, и вина и елеа, и семидала и пшеницы, и скота и овец, и коней и колесниц, и телес и душ человеческих.
and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 И овощи похотей души твоея отидоша от тебе, и вся тучная и светлая отидоша от тебе, и ктому не имаши обрести их.
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
15 Купцы сими обогащшеся от нея, издалеча станут за страх мучения ея, рыдающе и плачущеся,
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 и глаголюще: горе, горе, град великий, облеченный виссом и порфирою и червленицею, и позлащеный златом и камением драгим и бисером
saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 яко во един час погибе толико богатство. И всяк кормчий, и всяк плаваяй в кораблех, и всяк елик в мори делаяй, издалеча сташа,
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 и вопияху, видяще дым раждежения его, глаголюще: кий подобен граду великому?
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
19 И положиша персть на главах своих, и возопиша плачущеся и рыдающе, глаголюще: горе, горе, град великий, в немже обогатишася вси имущии корабли в мори, от чести его: яко единем часом запусте.
They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
20 Веселися о сем, небо, и святии Апостоли и пророцы, яко суди Бог суд ваш от него.
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
21 И взят един Ангел крепок камень велик яко жернов и верже в море, глаголя: тако стремлением ввержен будет Вавилон град великий, и не имать обрестися ктому:
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 и глас гудец и мусикий, и пискателей и труб не имать слышатися ктому в тебе: и всяк хитрец всякия хитрости не обрящется ктому в тебе, и шум жерновный не будет слышан в тебе:
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 и свет светилника не имать светити в тебе ктому, и глас жениха и невесты не имать слышан быти в тебе ктому: яко купцы твои беша вельможи земстии, яко волхвовании твоими прельщени быша вси языцы.
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 И в нем кровь пророческа и святых обретеся и всех избиенных на земли.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
