Razodetje 18
1 In po teh stvareh sem videl drugega angela priti dol z neba, ki je imel veliko oblast in zemlja je bila razsvetljena z njegovo slavo.
After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
2 In mogočno je vpil z močnim glasom, rekoč: »Vélika [metropola] Babilon je padla, padla je in postala prebivališče hudičev in ječa vsakega nečistega duha in kletka vsake nečiste in osovražene ptice.
And he cried out with a strong voice saying: “It fell, it fell, Babylon the great! and has become a dwelling place of demons, even a prison of every unclean spirit, also a prison of every unclean and detestable bird.
3 Kajti vsi narodi so pili od vina besa njenega prešuštvovanja in kralji zemlje so z njo zagrešili prešuštvovanje in trgovci zemlje so obogateli od obilja njenih poslastic.«
Because all the nations have drunk of the rage of the wine of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich through the strength of her luxury.”
4 In zaslišal sem drug glas z neba, rekoč: »Pridite iz nje, moji ljudje, da ne boste soudeleženi z njenimi grehi in da ne prejmete od njenih nadlog.
And I heard another Voice from heaven saying: “Come out of her, my people, so as not to participate in her sins and so as not to receive of her plagues.
5 Kajti njeni grehi so segli do neba in Bog se je spomnil njenih krivičnosti.
For her sins have reached to heaven and God has remembered about her her iniquities.
6 Nagradite jo, kakor vas je sama nagradila in podvojite ji dvojno glede na njena dela; v čašo, ki jo je napolnila, ji napolnite dvojno.
Render to her just as she rendered to you; yes, pay her back double, according to her deeds; in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.
7 Kolikor je samo sebe slavila in slastno živela, toliko muk in bridkosti ji dajte, kajti v svojem srcu pravi: ›Sedim kraljica in nisem vdova in ne bom videla bridkosti.‹
To the extent that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, by so much give her torment; because in her heart she says, ‘I sit a queen, and am not a widow; and I will certainly not see sorrow.’
8 Zatorej bodo njene nadloge prišle v enem dnevu; smrt in žalovanje in lakota in popolnoma bo požgana z ognjem, kajti močan je Gospod Bog, ki jo sodi.«
Therefore her plagues will come in one day death and sorrow and famine and she will be burned up with fire; because the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 In kralji zemlje, ki so zagrešili prešuštvovanje in z njo slastno živeli, jo bodo objokovali in žalovali za njo, ko bodo videli dim njenega gorenja,
“The kings of the earth who fornicated and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
10 stoječ daleč stran zaradi strahu pred njenim mučenjem, rekoč: »Ojoj, ojoj, ta vélika metropola Babilon, ta mogočna metropola! Kajti v eni uri je prišla tvoja sodba.«
standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city Babylon, O mighty city! Because your judgment came in one hour.’
11 In trgovci zemlje bodo jokali in žalovali nad njo, kajti noben človek ne kupuje več njihovega trgovskega blaga,
“And the merchants of the earth weep and sorrow over her, because no one buys their goods anymore:
12 trgovskega blaga iz zlata in srebra in dragocenih kamnov in iz biserov in tankega lanenega platna in bagra in svile in škrlata in vsakega dišečega lesa in vseh vrst posod iz slonovine in vseh vrst posod iz najdragocenejšega lesa in iz brona in železa in marmorja
goods of gold and of silver, of precious stones and of pearl, of fine linen and of purple, of silk and of scarlet; every citron wood and object of ivory, every object of most precious wood and of bronze and of iron and of marble;
13 in cimeta in dišav in mazil in kadil in vina in olja in fine moke in pšenice in živali in ovc in konj in bojnih vozov in sužnjev in človeških duš.
cinnamon and incense and perfume and frankincense, wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep and horses and carriages, and bodies and souls of men!”
14 In sadeži, po katerih je hlepela tvoja duša, so odšli od tebe in vse stvari, ki so bile okusne in lepe, so odšle od tebe in sploh jih ne boš več našel.
(‘Yes, the fruit that your soul craved has gone from you, and all the sumptuous and splendid things have perished from you, and you will never find them again!’)
15 Trgovci s temi stvarmi, ki so po njej obogateli, bodo zaradi strahu pred njenimi mukami stali daleč stran ter jokali in tarnali
“The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand afar off for fear of her torment, weeping and sorrowing
16 in govorili: »Ojoj, ojoj, ta vélika metropola, ki je bila oblečena v tanko laneno platno in bager in škrlat in odeta z zlatom in dragocenimi kamni in biseri!
and saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city! that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;
17 Kajti v eni uri pridejo v nič tako velika bogastva.« In vsak kapitan in vse spremstvo na ladjah in mornarji in kolikor jih trguje po morju, so stali daleč stran
because in one hour such great wealth was laid waste.’ “And every ship captain, and all who travel by ship—sailors and as many as work the sea—stood afar off
18 in ko so zagledali dim njenega gorenja, so vpili, rekoč: »Katero mesto je podobno tej véliki metropoli!«
and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’
19 In na svoje glave so metali prah in vpili, jokali in tarnali, rekoč: »Ojoj, ojoj, ta vélika metropola, v kateri so zaradi njene visoke cene postali bogati vsi, ki so imeli ladje na morju! Kajti v eni uri je postala opustošena.
They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and sorrowing and saying: ‘Alas, alas, O great city! by which all who had ships in the sea became rich, by her costly abundance; because in one hour she was laid waste.’
20 Veselite se nad njo, ve nebesa in vi sveti apostoli ter preroki, kajti Bog vas je maščeval na njej.«
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, yes you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!”
21 In mogočen angel je pobral kamen, podoben velikemu mlinskemu kamnu in ga vrgel v morje, rekoč: »Tako bo ta vélika metropola Babilon z nasiljem zrušena in sploh je ne bo več najti.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the ocean saying: “The great city Babylon will be thrown down violently, and will never be found again.
22 In v tebi se sploh ne bo več slišal zvok harfistov in glasbenikov in piskačev ter trobentačev in v tebi ne bo več najti nobenega rokodelca, katerekoli umetnosti je že in v tebi se sploh ne bo več slišal zvok mlinskega kamna
The sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; no craftsman of whatever craft will ever be found in you again; the sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again;
23 in v tebi sploh ne bo več svetila svetloba sveče in v tebi se sploh ne bo več slišal glas ženina in neveste, kajti tvoji trgovci so bili veliki možje zemlje, kajti s tvojimi čarodejstvi so bili zavedeni vsi narodi.
the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; the voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again; because your merchants were the magnates of the earth, because by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.”
24 In v njej je bila najdena kri prerokov in svetih in vseh, ki so bili zaklani na zemlji.«
And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, even of all who had been butchered on the earth.
