Apocalisse - Revelation 17

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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 were holding the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come here. I will show you the judgment on the great harlot who lives near the many waters.
2 μετα της οποιας επορνευσαν οι βασιλεις της γης και εμεθυσθησαν οι κατοικουντες την γην εκ του οινου της πορνειας αυτης.	2 The kings of the earth have had intercourse with her, and the inhabitants of the earth became drunk on the wine of her harlotry."
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 Then he carried me away in spirit to a deserted place where I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names, with 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 wearing purple and scarlet and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She held in her hand a gold cup that was filled with the abominable and sordid deeds of her harlotry.
5 και επι το μετωπον αυτης ητο ονομα γεγραμμενον? Μυστηριον, Βαβυλων η μεγαλη, η μητηρ των πορνων και των βδελυγματων της γης.	5 On her forehead was written a name, which is a mystery, "Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth."
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 I saw that the woman was drunk on the blood of the holy ones and on the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her I was greatly amazed.
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 The angel said to me, "Why are you amazed? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, the beast with the seven heads and the ten horns.
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 existed once but now exists no longer. It will come up from the abyss and is headed for destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world shall be amazed when they see the beast, because it existed once but exists no longer, and yet it will come again.
9 Εδω ειναι ο νους ο εχων σοφιαν. Αι επτα κεφαλαι ειναι επτα ορη, οπου η γυνη καθηται επ' αυτων?	9 Here is a clue for one who has wisdom. The seven heads represent seven hills upon which the woman sits. They also represent seven kings:
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 five have already fallen, one still lives, and the last has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a short 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 The beast that existed once but exists no longer is an eighth king, but really belongs to the seven and is headed for destruction.
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 The ten horns that you saw represent ten kings who have not yet been crowned; they will receive royal authority along with the beast for one hour.
13 Ουτοι εχουσι μιαν γνωμην και θελουσι παραδωσει εις το θηριον την δυναμιν και την εξουσιαν εαυτων.	13 They are of one mind and will give 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 fight with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and king of kings, and those with him are called, 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 Then he said to me, "The waters that you saw where the harlot lives represent large numbers of peoples, 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 The ten horns that you saw and the beast will hate the harlot; they will leave her desolate and naked; they will eat her flesh and consume her 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 minds to carry out his purpose and to make them come to an agreement to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are accomplished.
18 Και η γυνη, την οποιαν ειδες, ειναι η πολις η μεγαλη, η εχουσα βασιλειαν επι των βασιλεων.	18 The woman whom you saw represents the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth."
