¹And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

¹Potem sem videl drugega angela iti doli z neba, ki je imel oblast veliko; in zemlja se je razsvetlila od slave njegove.

²And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

²In zavpije z močnim glasom, rekoč: Padel je, padel Babilon veliki, in postal je prebivališče hudičev in ječa vseh nečistih duhov in ječa vseh nečistih in sovraženih ptičev.

³For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

³Kajti od vina srda nečistosti njene so pili vsi narodi, in kralji zemeljski so nečistovali ž njo, in trgovci zemlje so obogateli od silne bujnosti njene.

⁴And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

⁴In slišal sem drug glas z nebes, govoreč: Izidite iz nje, ljudstvo moje, da se ne udeležite grehov njenih in da ne prejmete od njenih šib;

⁵For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

⁵kajti grehi njeni so se nakopičili do neba, in Bog se je spomnil krivic njenih.

⁶Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

⁶Vrnite ji, kakor je tudi ona vračala, in podvojite ji dvojno po delih njenih; v kozarec, v katerega je mešala, namešajte ji dvojno.

⁷How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

⁷Kolikor se je poveličala in prešerno živela, toliko ji dajte muke in žalosti. Kajti v srcu svojem govori: Kraljica sedim in vdova nisem, in žalosti ne bom videla.

⁸Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

⁸Zato pridejo v enem dnevu šibe njene, smrt in žalost in lakota, in v ognju bo sežgana; kajti močan je Gospod, Bog, ki jo je sodil.

⁹And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

⁹In jokali bodo in žalovali zanjo kralji zemlje, kateri so nečistovali ž njo in prešerno živeli, ko bodo videli dim požara njenega,

¹⁰Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

¹⁰od daleč stoječ v strahu pred muko njeno in govoreč: Gorje, gorje, mesto veliko, Babilon, mesto močno! ker v eni uri je prišla sodba tvoja.

¹¹And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

¹¹In trgovci zemlje jokajo in žalujejo za njo, ker njih blaga ne kupuje nihče več:

¹²The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

¹²blaga iz zlata in srebra in dragega kamenja in biserov in tenčice in bagra in svile in škrlata, in vsakterega lesa dišečega in vsakterega orodja slonokoščenega in vsakterega orodja iz lesa predragega in brona in železa in marmorja,

¹³And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

¹³in sladke skorje in tujih korenin in dišav in mire in kadila, in vina in olja in bele moke in pšenice, in goved in ovac, in konj in voz in sužnjev in duš človeških.

¹⁴And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

¹⁴In sadje, ki si ga je želela duša tvoja, je odšlo od tebe, in vse tolsto in sijajno ti je izginilo, in nikdar več jih nihče ne najde.

¹⁵The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

¹⁵Trgovci s temi rečmi, ki so obogateli od nje, bodo stali oddaleč v strahu pred muko njeno, jokajoč in žalujoč in govoreč:

¹⁶And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

¹⁶Gorje, gorje, mesto véliko, ki je bilo oblečeno v tenčico in v bager in škrlat in pozlačeno z zlatom in dragim kamenjem in biseri!

¹⁷For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

¹⁷kajti v eni uri je izničeno toliko bogastvo. In vsi krmarji in vsak, kdor se kam vozi v ladji, in brodniki in katerikoli imajo opravila na morju, so stali oddaleč

¹⁸And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

¹⁸in vpili, videč dim požara njenega, in govorili: Katero je enako temu mestu vélikemu?

¹⁹And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

¹⁹In vrgli so si prahu na glave in so vpili, jokajoč in žalujoč in govoreč: Gorje, gorje, mesto véliko, v katerem so obogateli vsi, ki imajo ladje na morju, vsled potratnosti njegove! kajti v eni uri je opustošeno.

²⁰Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

²⁰Veselite se njega, nebesa, in svetniki in apostoli in proroki, ker je Bog sodil sodbo vašo nad njim.

²¹And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

²¹In en angel, močan, je vzdignil kamen, velik kakor mlinski kamen, in ga vrgel v morje, rekoč: Tako siloma bo doli vržen Babilon, mesto veliko, in ne bode ga več.

²²And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

²²In glas citralcev in godcev in piskačev in trobentačev se ne bo nikdar več slišal v tebi, in noben umetnik kake umetnosti se ne prikaže nikdar več v tebi, in mlina glas se ne bo nikdar več čul v tebi,

²³And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

²³in svetilnice luč nikoli več ne bo svetila v tebi, in glas ženina in neveste se ne bo nikdar več čul v tebi; kajti trgovci tvoji so bili velikaši zemlje; in s čarodejstvom tvojim so bili zapeljani vsi narodi.In v njem se je našla kri prorokov in svetnikov in vseh, ki so bili zaklani na zemlji.

²⁴And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

²⁴In v njem se je našla kri prorokov in svetnikov in vseh, ki so bili zaklani na zemlji.
