¹After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

¹Potom som videl iného anjela, sostupujúceho z neba, ktorý mal veľkú moc, a zem bola osvietená od jeho slávy.

²And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.

²A skríkol silne, veľkým hlasom a hovoril: Padol, padol veľký Babylon a stal sa bývaniskom démonov a žalárom každého ducha nečistého a žalárom každého vtáka nečistého a nenávideného,

³For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.

³lebo z vína prchlivosti jeho smilstva pily všetky národy, a kráľovia zeme smilnili s ním, a kupci zeme zbohatli z moci jeho buje.

⁴And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:

⁴A počul som iný hlas z neba, ktorý hovoril: Vyjdite z neho, môj ľude, aby ste sa nezúčastnili jeho hriechov a aby ste nedostali z jeho rán.

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

⁵Lebo jeho hriechy dosiahly až do neba, a Bôh sa rozpamätal na jeho neprávosti.

⁶Render unto her even as she rendered, and double [unto her] the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double.

⁶Odplaťte mu, jako aj on vám platil, a dajte mu dvojnásobne podľa jeho skutkov. Do pohára, do ktorého nalieval, nalejte mu dvojnásobne;

⁷How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning.

⁷na koľko sa oslávil a zbujnel, toľko mu dajte múk a žiaľu. Lebo hovorí vo svojom srdci: Sedím kráľovná a nie som vdovou a žiaľu neuvidím nikdy.

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

⁸Preto jedného dňa prijdú jeho rany, smrť a žiaľ a hlad, a bude spálený ohňom, lebo je silný Pán Bôh, ktorý ho súdi.

⁹And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning,

⁹A budú plakať za ním a kvíliť budú nad ním kráľovia zeme, ktorí s ním smilnili a rozkošili v buji, keď budú vidieť dym jeho požiaru

¹⁰standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

¹⁰stojac zďaleka pre bázeň jeho múk a budú hovoriť: Beda, beda, veliké mesto, to silné mesto Babylon, že v jednej hodine prišiel jeho súd.

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

¹¹Aj kupci zeme budú plakať a žialiť nad ním, pretože nikto viac nekúpi ich tovaru,

¹²merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;

¹²tovaru zlata a striebra a drahého kameňa, periel, kmentu, purpuru, hodvábu, šarlátu a všelijakého dreva thvinového, všelijakých nádob zo slonovej kosti a všelijakého náradia z najdrahšieho dreva, z medi, zo železa a z mramoru

¹³and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and [merchandise] of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men.

¹³a škorice a rozváňajúceho amónu, tymianu a vzácnej masti a libánskeho kadiva, vína a oleja a jemnej múky pšeničnej, pšenice a dobytka a oviec a koní a vozov a otrokov a ľudských duší.

¹⁴And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and [men] shall find them no more at all.

¹⁴A ovocie žiadosti tvojej duše odišlo od teba, i všetko tučné a nádherné zhynulo a bolo odňaté od teba, a už toho viac nikdy nenajdeš.

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

¹⁵Kupci s tými vecami, ktorí boli zbohatli z neho, budú stáť zďaleka pre bázeň jeho múk plačúc a žalostiac

¹⁶saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl!

¹⁶a budú hovoriť: Beda, beda, to veľké mesto, ktoré bolo odiate kmentom, purpurom a šarlátom a bolo pokryté zlatom a drahým kamením a perlami, že v jednej hodine je spustošené také veľké bohatstvo.

¹⁷for in an hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any wither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,

¹⁷A všetci kormidelníci a všetci, ktorí sa plavia na lodiach, a plavci a všetci, ktorí robia na mori, budú stáť zďaleka

¹⁸and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city] is like the great city?

¹⁸a budú kričať, keď budú vidieť dym jeho požiaru a budú hovoriť: Kde ktoré mesto bolo kedy podobné tomu veľkému mestu?!

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

¹⁹A sypali prach na svoje hlavy a kričali, plakali, žialili a hovorili: Beda, beda, to veľké mesto, v ktorom zbohatli všetci, ktorí mali lode na mori, z jeho drahocennosti, že tak v jednej hodine spustlo!

²⁰Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.

²⁰Veseľ sa nad ním nebo, i vy svätí a apoštolovia a proroci, pretože Bôh vykonal váš súd na ňom.

²¹And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all.

²¹A jeden silný anjel zodvihol kameň ako veliký žernov a hodil ho do mora a povedal: Tak prudko bude svrhnutý Babylon, to veľké mesto, a viacej sa nikdy nenajde.

²²And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;

²²A nikdy viacej sa nepočuje v tebe hlas harfeníkov a iných hudobníkov, pískačov a trubačov. A viac nikdy sa nenajde v tebe nijaký remeselník nijakého remesla, ani sa viacej nepočuje v tebe hukot mlyna,

²³and the light of a lamp 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 princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived.

²³ani už nikdy viac nezasvieti v tebe svetlo sviece, ani sa viacej nepočuje v tebe hlas ženícha a nevesty, pretože tvoji kupci boli veľmožmi zeme, pretože tvojimi čary zvedené boly do bludu všetky národy. -

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

²⁴A našla sa v ňom krv prorokov a svätých a všetkých pobitých na zemi.
