Otkrivenje 17

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 I dođe jedan od sedam anđela što nose sedam čaša i prozbori mi: »Dođi, pokazat ću ti sud nad Bludnicom velikom što sjedi nad vodama velikim,	1 And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters,
2 s kojom su bludničili kraljevi zemlje i pozemljari se opiše vinom bluda njezina.«	2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth, have been made drunk with the whine of her whoredom.
3 I odnese me u duhu u pustinju. Tu vidjeh Ženu koja sjede na skrletnu Zvijer, punu bogohulnih imena, sa sedam glava i deset rogova.	3 And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Žena bijaše odjevena u grimiz i skrlet, sva u zlatu, dragom kamenju i biserju. U ruci joj zlatna čaša puna gnusobe i nečisti bluda njezina.	4 And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.
5 Na čelo joj napisano ime – tajna: »Babilon veliki, mati bludnicâ i gnusoba zemljinih.«	5 And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and the abominations of the earth.
6 I vidjeh: Žena je pijana od krvi svetih i od krvi svjedoka Isusovih. Kad je vidjeh, čudom se silnim začudih.	6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.
7 Nato će mi anđeo: »Što se čudiš? Ja ću ti kazati tajnu te žene i Zvijeri koja je nosi, Zvijeri sa sedam glava i deset rogova.«	7 And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 »Zvijer koju vidje bijaše i više nije; zamalo izlazi iz Bezdana i ide u propast. I zapanjit će se pozemljari – oni kojima ime, od postanka svijeta, nije zapisano u knjigu života – kad vide da Zvijer bijaše i više nije, a opet je tu.	8 The beast, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not.
9 Tu se hoće mudre pameti! Sedam glava sedam je bregova na kojima žena sjedi. A i sedam kraljeva:	9 And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are seven kings:
10 pet ih već pade, jedan jest, a jedan još ne dođe: kada dođe, ostati mu je zamalo.	10 Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time.
11 I Zvijer koja bijaše i više nije, osma je, a iz broja je njih sedmero, i ide u propast.	11 And the beast which was, and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into destruction.
12 Deset rogova što ih vidje deset je kraljeva; oni još ne primiše kraljevstva, ali će – samo za jedan sat – primiti vlast kao kraljevi zajedno sa Zvijeri.	12 And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast.
13 Jèdne su misli: svu svoju silu i vlast predati Zvijeri.	13 These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast.
14 Ratovat će protiv Jaganjca, ali će ih pobijediti Jaganjac – i njegovi pozvanici, izabranici, vjernici – jer on je Gospodar gospodarâ i Kralj kraljeva.«	14 These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful.
15 I reče mi anđeo: »Vode što ih vidje, na kojima Bludnica sjedi, to su puci i mnoštva i narodi i jezici.	15 And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and nations, and tongues.
16 I onih deset rogova što ih vidje i Zvijer – oni će zamrziti Bludnicu, opustošiti je i ogoliti, najesti se mesa njezina i ognjem je spaliti.	16 And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.
17 Jer Bog im u srce stavi izvršiti naum njegov: da jednodušno predadu kraljevstvo svoje Zvijeri dok se ne ispune riječi Božje.	17 For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled.
18 Žena koju vidje grad je veliki što kraljuje nad kraljevima zemaljskim.«	18 And the woman which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
