Revelation 17
1 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn angẹli méje náà tí ó ní ìgò méje wọ̀n-ọn-nì sì wá, ó sì ba mi sọ̀rọ̀ wí pé, “Wá níhìn-ín; èmi ó sì fi ìdájọ́ àgbèrè ńlá ní tí ó jókòó lórí omi púpọ̀ han ọ,
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
2 ẹni tí àwọn ọba ayé bá ṣe àgbèrè, tí a sì fi ọtí wáìnì àgbèrè rẹ̀ pa àwọn tí ń gbé inú ayé.”
with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."
3 Ó sì gbé mi nínú ẹ̀mí lọ sí aginjù: mo sì rí obìnrin kan ó jókòó lórí ẹranko aláwọ̀ òdòdó kan tí ó kún fún orúkọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, ó ní orí méje àti ìwo mẹ́wàá.
He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 A sì fi aṣọ elése àlùkò àti aṣọ òdòdó wọ obìnrin náà, a sì fi wúrà àti òkúta iyebíye àti perli ṣe é ní ọ̀ṣọ́, ó ní ago wúrà kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, tí ó kún fún ìríra àti fún ẹ̀gbin àgbèrè rẹ̀;
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
5 àti níwájú rẹ̀ ni orúkọ kan tí a kọ: Ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ Babeli ńlá ìyá àwọn panṣágà àti àwọn ohun ìríra ayé.
And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
6 Mo sì rí obìnrin náà mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ajẹ́rìí ikú Jesu ní àmuyó. Nígbà tí mo sì rí i, ẹnu yà mi gidigidi.
I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
7 Angẹli sì wí fún mi pé, “Nítorí kí ni ẹnu ṣe yà ọ́? Èmi ó sọ ti ìjìnlẹ̀ obìnrin náà fún ọ, àti ti ẹranko tí ó gùn, ti ó ní orí méje àti ìwo mẹ́wàá.
The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 Ẹranko tí ìwọ ri nì, o ti wà, kò sì ṣí mọ́, yóò sì ti inú ọ̀gbun gòkè wá, yóò sì lọ sínú ìparun rẹ. Àwọn olùgbé ayé ti a kọ orúkọ wọn sínú ìwé iye láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé, nígbà tí wọn ń wò ẹranko tí o ti wà, tí kò sì ṣí mọ́, tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá, ẹnu si ya wọn. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and is going to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, but is to come. (Abyssos g12)
9 “Níhìn-ín ni ìtumọ̀ tí o ní ọgbọ́n wà. Orí méje ni òkè ńlá méje ni, lórí èyí tí obìnrin náà jókòó.
Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
10 Ọba méje sì ní wọn: àwọn márùn-ún ṣubú, ọ̀kan ń bẹ, ọ̀kan ìyókù kò sì tí ì dé; nígbà tí ó bá sì dé, yóò dúró fún ìgbà kúkúrú.
They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
11 Ẹranko tí ó sì ti wà, tí kò sì ṣí, òun náà sì ni ẹ̀kẹjọ, ó sì ti inú àwọn méje náà wá, ó sì lọ sí ìparun.
The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
12 “Ìwo mẹ́wàá tí ìwọ sì rí ni ọba mẹ́wàá ni wọn, tí wọn kò ì ti gba ìjọba; ṣùgbọ́n wọn gba àṣẹ bí ọba pẹ̀lú ẹranko náà fún wákàtí kan.
The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
13 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ní inú kan, wọ́n yóò sì fi agbára àti ọlá wọn fún ẹranko náà.
These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni yóò si máa bá Ọ̀dọ́-Àgùntàn jagun, Ọ̀dọ́-Àgùntàn náà yóò sì ṣẹ́gun wọn: nítorí òun ni Olúwa àwọn Olúwa, àti ọba àwọn ọba: àwọn tí ó sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, tí a pè, tí a yàn, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun pẹ̀lú.”
These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
15 Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Àwọn omi tí ìwọ ti rí ni, níbi tí àgbèrè náà jókòó, àwọn ènìyàn àti ẹ̀yà àti orílẹ̀ àti onírúurú èdè ni wọ́n.
He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
16 Àti ìwo mẹ́wàá tí ìwọ rí, àti ẹranko náà, àwọn wọ̀nyí ni yóò kórìíra àgbèrè náà, wọn ó sì sọ ọ́ di ahoro àti ẹni ìhòhò, wọn ó sì jẹ ẹran-ara rẹ̀, wọn ó sì fi iná sun ún pátápátá.
The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
17 Nítorí Ọlọ́run ti fi sínú ọkàn wọn láti mú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣẹ, láti ní inú kan, àti láti fi ìjọba wọn fún ẹranko náà, títí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run yóò fi ṣẹ.
For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
18 Obìnrin tí ìwọ rí ní ìlú ńlá ni, tí ń jẹ ọba lórí àwọn ọba ilẹ̀ ayé.”
The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
