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,

¹And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, `Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters,

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

²with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;`

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.

³and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,

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;

⁴and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,

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

⁵and upon her forehead was a name written: `Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.`

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.

⁶And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder — having seen her — with great wonder;

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.

⁷and the messenger said to me, `Wherefore didst thou wonder? I — I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.

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.

⁸`The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is.

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

⁹`Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit,

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.

¹⁰and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;

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.

¹¹and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away.

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.

¹²`And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast,

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

¹³these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over;

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.

¹⁴these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.`

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.

¹⁵And he saith to me, `The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;`

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.

¹⁶and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire,

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.

¹⁷for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete,

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

¹⁸and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.`
