¹And one of the seven angels, which had the seven bowls, came and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the sentence of the great harlot who sits upon the many waters;

¹[Ny amin'ilay vehivavy janga (dia Babylona), izay nitaingina ny bibi-dia nivolon-jaky] Ary tonga ny anjely anankiray tamin'izy fito izay nanana ny lovia fito, dia niteny tamiko nanao hoe: Avia atỳ; dia hasehoko anao ny fitsarana ilay vehivavy janga lehibe, izay mipetraka eny ambonin'ny rano maro,

²with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they that dwell on the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

²dia ilay nijangajangan'ny mpanjakan'ny tany, sady natao leon'ny divain'ny fijangajangany ny mponina tamin'ny tany.

³And he carried me away in spirit to a desert; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

³Dia nentiny tamin'ny Fanahy ho any an'efitra aho ary nahita vehivavy nitaingina bibi-dia mivolon-jaky, feno anarana fitenenan-dratsy sady nanan-doha fito sy tandroka folo.

⁴And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication;

⁴Ary ravehivavy dia nitafy lamba volomparasy sy jaky ary niravaka volamena sy vato soa ary perila sady nitana kapoaka volamena teny an-tànany, feno zava-betaveta, dia ny zava-maloto momba ny fijangajangany;

⁵and upon her forehead a name written, Mystery, great Babylon, the mother of the harlots, and of the abominations of the earth.

⁵ary nisy anarana voasoratra teo amin'ny handriny nanao hoe: ZAVA-MIAFINA, BABYLONA LEHIBE, RENIN'NY MPIJANGAJANGA SY NY ZAVA-BETAVETA, AMIN'NY TANY.

⁶And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I wondered, seeing her, with great wonder.

⁶Ary hitako fa, indro, ravehivavy dia leon'ny ran ny olona masina sy ny ran'ny martioran'i Jesosy; koa raha nahita azy aho, dia gaga indrindra.

⁷And the angel said to me, Why hast thou wondered? *I* will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁷Ary hoy ilay anjely tamiko: Nahoana no gaga ianao? Izaho hilaza aminao ny zava-miafina ny amin-dravehivavy sy ny bibi-dia mitondra azy, izay manan-doha fito sy tandroka folo.

⁸The beast which thou sawest was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction: and they who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written from the founding of the world in the book of life, shall wonder, seeing the beast, that it was, and is not, and shall be present.

⁸Ny bibi-dia, ilay efa hitanao, dia teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, nefa efa hiakatra avy amin'ny lavaka tsy hita noanoa izy ka ho lasa ho amin'ny fandringanana; ary ny monina ambonin'ny tany, dia izay tsy voasoratra eo amin'ny bokin'ny fiainana hatramin'ny nanorenana izao tontolo izao, dia ho gaga raha mijery ilay bibi-dia, izay teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, nefa mbola ho avy indray.

⁹Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, whereon the woman sits.

⁹Indro ny hevitra iray misy fahendrena: Ny loha fito dia tendrombohitra fito, izay ipetrahan-dravehivavy.

¹⁰And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes he must remain [only] a little while.

¹⁰Ary mpanjaka fito ireo; efa lavo ny dimy, ka ny iray mbola eo ihany, ary ny iray koa mbola tsy tonga; ary rehefa tonga izy, dia tsy maintsy mitoetra kelikely.

¹¹And the beast that was and is not, he also is an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into destruction.

¹¹Ary ny bibi-dia izay teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, dia izy no naman'ny fito mahavalo ary ka lasa ho amin'ny fandringanana.

¹²And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.

¹²Ary ny tandroka folo, izay hitanao, dia mpanjaka folo izay tsy mbola nahazo fanjakana; fa mandray fahefana ho toa mpanjaka iray ora miaraka amin'ny bibi-dia izy.

¹³These have one mind, and give their power and authority to the beast.

¹³Ireo dia miray saina ka manome ny heriny sy ny fahefany ho an'ilay bibi-dia.

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 called, and chosen, and faithful.

¹⁴Ireo dia hiady amin'ny Zanak'ondry, ary ny Zanak'ondry haharesy azy, satria Tompon'ny tompo sy Mpanjakan'ny mpanjaka Izy, ary haharesy azy koa izay momba Azy, dia olona voantso sy voafidy ary mahatoky.

¹⁵And he says to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

¹⁵Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ny rano ela hitanao, izay ipetrahan'ilay vehivavy janga, dia olona sy vahoaka betsaka sy firenena maro ary samy hafa fiteny.

¹⁶And the ten horns which thou sawest, and 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;

¹⁶Ary ny tandroka folo sy ny bibi-dia izay efa hitanao, dia ireo no hankahala ilay vehivavy janga ka hahatsinontsinona azy sy hampitanjaka ary sy hihinana ny nofony ary handevona ny tenany amin'ny afo.

¹⁷for God has given to their hearts to do his mind, and to act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

¹⁷Fa Andriamanitra efa nanome fo ireo hanatanteraka ny heviny sy hifanara-tsaina ary hanome ny fanjakany ho an'ilay bibi-dia mandra-pahatanteraky ny tenin'Andriamanitra.Ary ravehivavy, ilay hitanao, dia tanàna lehibe, izay manjaka amin'ny mpanjakan'ny tany.

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

¹⁸Ary ravehivavy, ilay hitanao, dia tanàna lehibe, izay manjaka amin'ny mpanjakan'ny tany.
