¹And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

¹In prišel je eden iz sedmerih angelov, ki imajo sedmere čaše, in je govoril z menoj, rekoč: Sem! pokažem ti sodbo nečistnice vélike, sedeče na mnogih vodah,

²With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

²s katero so nečistovali kralji zemeljski, in z vinom nečistosti njene so se opijanili zemlje prebivalci.

³So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

³In odnese me v puščavo v Duhu; in videl sem ženo, sedečo na zveri škrlatni, polni imen preklinjanja, imajoči sedem glav in rogov deset.

⁴And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

⁴In žena je bila oblečena v bager in v škrlat in pozlačena z zlatom in dragim kamenjem in biseri; imela je zlat kozarec v roki, poln gnusob in nečistosti kurbarstva svojega;

⁵And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

⁵in na čelu ji je bilo ime zapisano, skrivnost: Babilon véliki, mati nečistnic in gnusob zemlje!

⁶And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

⁶In videl sem to ženo pijano krvi svetnikov in krvi pričevalcev Jezusovih. In videč jo, sem se silno čudil.

⁷And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

⁷In angel mi reče: Zakaj se čudiš? Jaz ti povem skrivnost žene in zveri, ki jo nosi, ki ima sedem glav in rogov deset.

⁸The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

⁸Zver, ki si jo videl, je bila in je ni, in priti ima gori iz brezna in iti v pogubo; in prebivalci na zemlji, katerih imena niso zapisana v knjigi življenja od ustanovitve sveta, se bodo čudili, gledajoč zver, da je bila in je ni, a zopet pride.

⁹And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

⁹Tukaj razum, ki ima modrost: sedmero glav je sedem gorá, kjer žena sedi na njih;

¹⁰And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

¹⁰in je kraljev sedem: pet jih je padlo in eden je, drugi še ni prišel, in kadar pride, sme malo časa ostati.

¹¹And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

¹¹In zver, ki je bila in je ni, je sam tudi osmi in je izmed sedmerih in gre v pogubo.

¹²And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

¹²In desetero rogov, ki si jih videl, je deset kraljev, ki še niso prejeli kraljestva, ali prejmo oblast kot kralji za eno uro z zverjo vred.

¹³These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

¹³Ti imajo eno misel, in moč in oblast svojo izročé zveri.

¹⁴These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

¹⁴Ti se bodo vojskovali z Jagnjetom, in Jagnje jih bo zmagalo, ker je gospodov Gospod in kraljev Kralj, in ž njim bodo zmagali poklicani in izvoljeni in zvesti.

¹⁵And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

¹⁵In reče mi: Vode, ki si jih videl, kjer sedi nečistnica, so ljudstva in množice in narodi in jeziki.

¹⁶And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

¹⁶In deseteri rogovi, ki si jih videl, in zver, ti bodo sovražili nečistnico in jo naredili pusto in nago ter meso njeno pojedli in njo sežgali v ognju.

¹⁷For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

¹⁷Kajti Bog je dal v njih srca, da storé misel njegovo in da store eno misel in dado kraljestvo svoje zveri, dokler se ne izvršé besede Božje.In žena, ki si jo videl, je mesto véliko, ki ima kraljestvo nad kralji zemlje.

¹⁸And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

¹⁸In žena, ki si jo videl, je mesto véliko, ki ima kraljestvo nad kralji zemlje.
