Pahayag 17
1 At dumating ang isa sa pitong anghel na may pitong mangkok, at nagsalita sa akin, na nagsasabi, Pumarito ka, ipakikita ko sa iyo ang hatol sa bantog na patutot na nakaupo sa maraming tubig;
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and spoke to me, saying, "Come hither and I will show you the sentence passed upon the great harlot who sits on many waters,
2 Na siyang pinakiapiran ng mga hari sa lupa, at ang mga nananahan sa lupa ay nalasing sa alak ng kaniyang pakikiapid.
with whom the kings of the earth have committed adultery, while all who live on the earth have been made drunken by the wine of her immorality."
3 At ako'y kaniyang dinalang nasa Espiritu sa isang ilang: at nakita ko ang isang babae na nakasakay sa isang hayop na pula, na puno ng mga pangalang pamumusong, na may pitong ulo at sangpung sungay.
And he bore me away in the Spirit into the desert, and I saw a woman who sat upon a scarlet beast covered with blasphemous names. It had seven heads and ten horns.
4 At nararamtan ang babae ng kulay-ube at ng pula, at nahihiyasan ng ginto at ng mga mahalagang bato at mga perlas, na sa kaniyang kamay ay may isang sarong ginto na puno ng mga kasuklamsuklam, at ng mga bagay na marurumi ng kaniyang pakikiapid,
The woman was enwrapped in purple and scarlet and was encrusted with gold and precious stones and pearls. In her hand she held a golden cup filled with abominations, even the impurities of her immorality.
5 At sa kaniyang noo ay nakasulat ang isang pangalan, HIWAGA, DAKILANG BABILONIA, INA NG MGA PATUTOT AT NG MGA KASUKLAMSUKLAM SA LUPA.
Upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINABLE THINGS OF THE EARTH."
6 At nakita ko ang babae na lasing sa dugo ng mga banal, at sa dugo ng mga martir ni Jesus. At nang aking makita siya ay nanggilalas ako ng malaking panggigilalas.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, and I wondered with a great wonder.
7 At sinabi sa akin ng anghel, Bakit ka nanggilalas? Sasabihin ko sa iyo ang hiwaga ng babae, at ng hayop na sinasakyan niya, na may pitong ulo at sangpung sungay.
And the angel said to me. "Why did you wonder? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns, that carried her.
8 At ang hayop na nakita mo ay naging siya, at wala na; at malapit ng umahon sa kalaliman, at patungo sa kapahamakan. At silang mga nananahan sa lupa ay manggigilalas na ang kanilang pangalan ay hindi nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay mula nang itatag ang sanglibutan, pagkakita nila sa hayop, kung paano naging siya at wala na, at darating. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the bottomless pit, and to go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall wonder, those whose names have never, from the foundation of the world, been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, when they gaze on the beast; how he was and is not, and is to come. (Abyssos g12)
9 Narito ang pagiisip na may karunungan. Ang pitong ulo ay pitong bundok na kinauupuan ng babae:
Here is the mind that has wisdom. the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is seated;
10 At sila'y pitong hari; ang lima ay nanga buwal, ang isa'y narito, ang isa ay hindi pa dumarating; at pagdating niya ay dapat magtagal na sangdaling panahon.
and they are seven kings; the five have fallen, one is, the other is not yet come (and when he does come, he must remain a short time).
11 At ang hayop na naging siya, at wala na, ay siya ring ikawalo at siya'y sa pito at siya'y patungo sa kapahamakan.
And the beast who was, but is not, is himself also an eighth, although he is one of the seven kings, and is on his way to perdition.
12 At ang sangpung sungay na iyong nakita ay sangpung hari, na hindi pa nagsisitanggap ng kaharian; datapuwa't magsisitanggap sila ng kapamahalaang paghahari na isang oras na kasama ng hayop.
"The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received their kingdoms; but they have received authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.
13 Ang mga ito ay may isang kaisipan, at ibinibigay nila ang kanilang kapangyarihan at kapamahalaan sa hayop.
These kings have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 Makikipagbaka ang mga ito laban sa Cordero, at sila'y dadaigin ng Cordero, sapagka't siya'y Panginoon ng mga panginoon at Hari ng mga Hari; at ng mga kasama niya, na mga tinawag at mga pili at mga tapat ay nananaig din.
These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings. And they who are with him are called and faithful and chosen."
15 At sinabi niya sa akin, Ang tubig na iyong nakita, na kinauupuan ng patutot, ay mga bayan, at mga karamihan, at mga bansa, at mga wika.
And he also said to me. "The waters which you saw, on which the harlot takes her seat, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
16 At ang sangpung sungay na iyong nakita, at ang hayop, ay siyang nangapopoot sa patutot, at siya'y pababayaan at huhubaran, at kakanin ang kaniyang laman, at siya'y lubos na susupukin ng apoy.
And the ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot and make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire.
17 Sapagka't inilagay ng Dios sa kanilang mga puso na gawin ang kaniyang kaisipan, at mangagkaisa ng kaisipan, at ibigay ang kanilang kaharian sa hayop, hanggang sa maganap ang mga salita ng Dios.
For God has put it into their hearts to execute his purpose, in executing their common purpose, and by giving over their kingdoms to the beast, until the words of God shall be accomplished.
18 At ang babae na iyong nakita ay ang dakilang bayan, na naghahari sa mga hari sa lupa.
The woman whom you saw is the great city which holds sway over the kings of the earth."
