Откровение ап. Иоанна Богослова 18
1 И по сих видех ина Ангела сходяща с небесе, имуща область велию: и земля просветися от славы его.
And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from 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,
and he did cry in might — a great voice, saying, 'Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,
3 и царие земстии с нею любы деяша, и купцы земстии от силы пищи ея разбогатеша.
because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich.
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:
And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, 'Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,
5 яко прилепишася греси ея даже до небесе, и помяну Бог неправды ея.
because her sins did follow — unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness.
6 Воздадите ей, яко и та воздаде вам, и усугубите ей сугубо по делом ея: чашею, еюже черпа (вам), черплите ей сугубо.
Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle 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.
'As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;
8 Сего ради во един день приидут язвы ей, смерть и плачь и глад, и огнем сожжена будет, яко крепок Господь Бог судяй ей.
because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her;
9 И возрыдают и восплачутся ея царие земстии, любы деявшии с нею и разсвирепевшии, егда узрят дым запаления ея,
and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see 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.
from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment.
11 И купцы земстии возрыдают и восплачутся о нем, яко бремен их никтоже купует ктому,
'And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy 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,
lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and 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, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.
14 И овощи похотей души твоея отидоша от тебе, и вся тучная и светлая отидоша от тебе, и ктому не имаши обрести их.
'And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things — the dainty and the bright — did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.
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, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing,
16 и глаголюще: горе, горе, град великий, облеченный виссом и порфирою и червленицею, и позлащеный златом и камением драгим и бисером
and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls — because in one hour so much riches were made waste!
17 яко во един час погибе толико богатство. И всяк кормчий, и всяк плаваяй в кораблех, и всяк елик в мори делаяй, издалеча сташа,
'And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood,
18 и вопияху, видяще дым раждежения его, глаголюще: кий подобен граду великому?
and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to 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.
and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness — for in one hour was she made waste.
20 Веселися о сем, небо, и святии Апостоли и пророцы, яко суди Бог суд ваш от него.
'Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of 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:
And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great millstone, and did cast [it] to the sea, saying, 'Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found any 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:
and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any artisan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any more;
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.
and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,
24 И в нем кровь пророческа и святых обретеся и всех избиенных на земли.
and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.'
