| 1 Και ηλθεν εις εκ των επτα αγγελων των εχοντων τας επτα φιαλας, και ελαλησε μετ' εμου, λεγων μοι? Ελθε, θελω σοι δειξει την κρισιν της πορνης της μεγαλης της καθημενης επι των υδατων των πολλων, | 1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters, |
| 2 μετα της οποιας επορνευσαν οι βασιλεις της γης και εμεθυσθησαν οι κατοικουντες την γην εκ του οινου της πορνειας αυτης. | 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk." |
| 3 Και με εφερεν εν πνευματι εις ερημον. Και ειδον γυναικα καθημενην επι θηριον κοκκινον, γεμον ονοματων βλασφημιας, εχον κεφαλας επτα και κερατα δεκα. | 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. |
| 4 Και η γυνη ητο ενδεδυμενη πορφυραν και κοκκινον και κεχρυσωμενη με χρυσον και λιθους τιμιους και μαργαριτας, εχουσα εν τη χειρι αυτης χρυσουν η ποτηριον γεμον βδελυγματων και ακαθαρσιας της πορνειας αυτης, | 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication; |
| 5 και επι το μετωπον αυτης ητο ονομα γεγραμμενον? Μυστηριον, Βαβυλων η μεγαλη, η μητηρ των πορνων και των βδελυγματων της γης. | 5 and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations." |
| 6 Και ειδον την γυναικα μεθυουσαν εκ του αιματος των αγιων και εκ του αιματος των μαρτυρων του Ιησου. Και ιδων αυτην, εθαυμασα θαυμασμον μεγαν. | 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly. |
| 7 Και μοι ειπεν ο αγγελος. Δια τι εθαυμασας; εγω θελω σοι ειπει το μυστηριον της γυναικος και του θηριου του βασταζοντος αυτην, το οποιον εχει τας επτα κεφαλας και τα δεκα κερατα. | 7 But the angel said to me, "Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. |
| 8 Το θηριον, το οποιον ειδες, ητο και δεν ειναι, και μελλει να αναβη εκ της αβυσσου και να υπαγη εις απωλειαν? και θελουσι θαυμασει οι κατοικουντες επι της γης, των οποιων τα ονοματα δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω της ζωης απο καταβολης κοσμου, βλεποντες το θηριον, το οποιον ητο και δεν ειναι, αν και ηναι. | 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to perdition; and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. |
| 9 Εδω ειναι ο νους ο εχων σοφιαν. Αι επτα κεφαλαι ειναι επτα ορη, οπου η γυνη καθηται επ' αυτων? | 9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; |
| 10 και ειναι επτα βασιλεις? οι πεντε επεσαν, και ο εις ειναι, ο αλλος δεν ηλθεν ετι, και οταν ελθη, ολιγον πρεπει να μεινη. | 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little while. |
| 11 Και το θηριον, το οποιον ητο και δεν ειναι, ειναι και αυτος ο ογδοος, και ειναι εκ των επτα, και υπαγει εις απωλειαν. | 11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to perdition. |
| 12 Και τα δεκα κερατα, τα οποια ειδες, ειναι δεκα βασιλεις, οιτινες βασιλειαν δεν ελαβον ετι, αλλα μιαν ωραν λαμβανουσιν εξουσιαν ως βασιλεις μετα του θηριου. | 12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. |
| 13 Ουτοι εχουσι μιαν γνωμην και θελουσι παραδωσει εις το θηριον την δυναμιν και την εξουσιαν εαυτων. | 13 These are of one mind and give over their power and authority to the beast; |
| 14 Ουτοι θελουσι πολεμησει με το Αρνιον, και το Αρνιον θελει νικησει αυτους, διοτι ειναι Κυριος των κυριων και Βασιλευς των βασιλεων, και οσοι ειναι μετ' αυτου ειναι κλητοι και εκλεκτοι και πιστοι. | 14 they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful." |
| 15 Και μοι λεγει? Τα υδατα, τα οποια ειδες, οπου η πορνη καθηται, ειναι λαοι και οχλοι και εθνη και γλωσσαι. | 15 And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. |
| 16 Και τα δεκα κερατα, τα οποια ειδες επι το θηριον, ουτοι θελουσι μισησει την πορνην και θελουσι καμει αυτην ηρημωμενην και γυμνην, και τας σαρκας αυτης θελουσι φαγει, και αυτην θελουσι κατακαυσει εν πυρι. | 16 And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, |
| 17 Διοτι ο Θεος εδωκεν εις τας καρδιας αυτων να καμωσι την γνωμην αυτου, και να γεινωσι της αυτης γνωμης και να δωσωσι την βασιλειαν αυτων εις το θηριον, εωσου εκτελεσθωσιν οι λογοι του Θεου. | 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. |
| 18 Και η γυνη, την οποιαν ειδες, ειναι η πολις η μεγαλη, η εχουσα βασιλειαν επι των βασιλεων. | 18 And the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth." |
