| 1 ܘܐܬܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܫܒܥ ܙܒܘܪܝܢ ܘܡܠܠ ܥܡܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܐܚܘܝܟ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܙܢܝܬܐ ܕܝܬܒܐ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀ | 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 ܕܥܡܗ ܙܢܝܘ ܡܠܟܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܪܘܝܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܕܙܢܝܘܬܗ ܀ | 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 ܘܐܦܩܢܝ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܪܘܚ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܬܒܐ ܥܠ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܤܘܡܩܬܐ ܕܡܠܝܐ ܫܡܗܐ ܕܓܘܕܦܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܪܫܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܩܪܢܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܤܪ ܀ | 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 ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܥܛܦܐ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܕܡܕܗܒܢ ܒܕܗܒܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܟܤܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܡܠܐ ܛܡܐܘܬܐ ܘܤܘܝܒܐ ܕܙܢܝܘܬܗ ܀ | 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 ܘܥܠ ܒܝܬ ܥܝܢܝܗ ܟܬܝܒ ܐܪܙܐ ܒܒܝܠ ܪܒܬܐ ܐܡܐ ܕܙܢܝܬܐ ܘܕܤܘܝܒܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܀ | 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 ܘܚܙܝܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܪܘܝܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܐ ܕܤܗܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܬ ܕܘܡܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܬܗ ܀ | 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 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܬܕܡܪܬ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܪܐܙܐ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܛܥܝܢܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܒܥܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܘܥܤܪ ܩܪܢܢ ܀ | 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 ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܘܠܝܬܝܗ ܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܤܩ ܡܢ ܝܡܐ ܘܠܐܒܕܢܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܘܢܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܥܡܪܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܫܡܗܝܗܘܢ ܒܤܦܪܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܘܠܝܬܝܗ ܘܩܪܒܬ ܀ | 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 ܗܪܟܐ ܗܘܢܐ ܠܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܛܘܪܝܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܝܬܒܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܀ | 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 ܘܡܠܟܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܢܦܠܘ ܘܚܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܐ ܘܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܝܗܝܒ ܠܗ ܠܡܟܬܪܘ ܀ | 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 ܘܬܢܝܢܐ ܘܚܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܘܠܝܬܝܗ ܘܗܝ ܕܬܡܢܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܗܝ ܘܠܐܒܕܢܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܀ | 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 ܘܥܤܪ ܩܪܢܢ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܠܟܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܢܤܒܘ ܐܠܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܟܐ ܚܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܫܩܠܝܢ ܥܡ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܀ | 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 ܗܠܝܢ ܚܕ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܝܗܒܝܢ ܀ | 13 These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast. |
| 14 ܗܠܝܢ ܥܡ ܐܡܪܐ ܢܩܪܒܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܢܙܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܘܬܐ ܘܡܠܟ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܕܥܡܗ ܩܪܝܐ ܘܓܒܝܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܀ | 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 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܝܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܕܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܝܬܒܐ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܥܡܡܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܫܢܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܀ | 15 And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and nations, and tongues. |
| 16 ܘܥܤܪ ܩܪܢܬܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܤܢܝܢ ܠܙܢܝܬܐ ܘܚܪܒܬܐ ܘܥܪܛܠܝܬܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢܗ ܘܒܤܪܗ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܢܘܩܕܘܢܗ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܀ | 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 ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܒ ܒܠܒܘܬܗܘܢ ܕܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܘܢܬܠܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܫܬܡܠܝܢ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀ | 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 ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܀ | 18 And the woman which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth. |
