¹[Ny amin'ny nandravana an'i Babylona, sy ny nisaonan'ny olona azy] Rehefa afaka izany, dia hitako fa indro, nisy anjely izay koa nidina avy tany an-danitra, nanana fahefana lehibe; ary ny tany nohazavain'ny voninahiny.

¹And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory,

²Ary niantso tamin'ny feo mahery izy ka nanao hoe: Rava! rava Babylona lehibe! ka tonga fonenan'ny demonia sy fieren'ny fanahy maloto rehetra ary akanin'ny vorona rehetra izay maloto sy ankahalaina. [ Gr. tranomaizina]

²and he did cry in might — a great voice, saying, `Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,

³Fa tamin'ny divain'ny fahatezerana noho ny fijangajangany no nahalavoan'ny firenena rehetra, ary ny mpanjakan'ny tany nijangajanga taminy, ary ny mpandranto amin'ny tany tonga mpanankarena noho ny hafatratry ny nitiavan'io ny zava-mahafinaritra ny tena. [ Na: (nisotrohan')]

³because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich.

⁴Ary nahare feo iray koa avy tany an-danitra aho nanao hoe: Mialà aminy ianareo, ry oloko, mba tsy hiombonanareo ota aminy, ary mba tsy hisy hahazo anareo ny loza manjo azy.

⁴And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,

⁵Fa ny fahotany efa nitehika tamin'ny lanitra, ary Andriamanitra efa nahatsiaro ny ratsy nataony.

⁵because her sins did follow — unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness.

⁶Mamalia azy araka izay nataony, ka omeo azy indroa heny toy ny nataony izy; ny kapoaka izay nofenoiny, dia fenoy indroa heny ho azy. [ Gr. noharoharoiny] [ Gr. haroharoy]

⁶Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.

⁷Toraka itsy niderany tena sy nivelomany tamin'ny zava-mahafinaritra ny tena, dia omeo fanaintainana sy alahelo toraka izany koa izy, satria hoy izy anakampo: Mipetraka ho mpanjakavavy aho, fa tsy mpitondratena, ary tsy mba hahita alahelo mihitsy aho;

⁷`As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;

⁸koa noho izany dia ho tonga indray andro monja izao loza hanjo azy izao, dia fahafatesana sy fisaonana ary mosary, ary ho levon'ny afo izy; fa mahery ny Tompo Andriamanitra, Izay nitsara azy.

⁸because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her;

⁹Ary ny mpanjakan'ny tany, izay nijangajanga taminy sy niara-nanaram-po taminy tamin'ny zava-mahafinaritra ny tena, dia hiteha-tratra sy hitomany ary, raha mahita ny setroky ny fandoroana azy;

⁹and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning,

¹⁰eny, hijanona eny lavitra eny izy noho ny fahatahorana ny fanaintainany ka hanao hoe: Indrisy! Indrisy! Babylona, izay tanàna lehibe! ry ilay tanàna mafy! fa tamin'ny ora izay monja dia tonga ny fitsarana anao.

¹⁰from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment.

¹¹Ary ny mpandranto amin'ny tany dia hitomany sy hisaona azy; fa tsy hisy mpividy intsony ny entany:

¹¹`And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more;

¹²dia entana volamena sy volafotsy sy vato soa sy perila sy rongony fotsy madinika sy lamba volomparasy sy landy sy jaky sy hazo mani-pofona, sy ny fanaka ivory rehetra mbamin'ny fanaka rehetra amin'ny hazo saro-bidy indrindra sy varahina sy vy ary vato sanga,

¹²lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,

¹³sy havozomamy sy zavatra mani-pofona sy ditin-kazo sy menaka manitra sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona, sy divay sy diloilo sy lafarina tsara toto sy vary tritika sy omby sy ondry sy soavaly sy kalesy ary tena sy ain'olona. [ Gr. amoma] [ lebona: izahao Eks. xxx. 34]

¹³and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.

¹⁴Ary ny vokatra soa nirin'ny fanahinao dia efa niala taminao, ary ny zava-tsoa rehetra sy ny zava-malaza rehetra dia efa levona tsy ho anao, ary tsy ho hita intsony mandrakizay ireo. [ Na: voan-kazo]

¹⁴`And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things — the dainty and the bright — did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.

¹⁵Ny mpandranto izany zavatra izany, izay efa tonga mpanankarena taminy, dia hijanona eny lavitra eny noho ny fahatahorana ny fanaintainany ka hitomany sy hisaona

¹⁵The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing,

¹⁶ary hanao hoe: Indrisy! indrisy! ilay tanàna lehibe, izay nitafy rongony fotsy madinika sy lamba volomparasy sy jaky ary niravaka volamena sy vato soa ary perila!

¹⁶and saying, Wo, wo, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls — because in one hour so much riches were made waste!

¹⁷Fa tamin'ny ora iray monja no nahafoana ny harena be toy izany. Ary ny mpitondra sambo rehetra sy izay rehetra mandeha eny ambonin'ny ranomasina sy ny matilo ary izay rehetra manao raharaha any an-dranomasina dia nijanona teny lavitra eny,

¹⁷`And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood,

¹⁸ary raha nahita ny setroky ny fandoroana ary, dia niantso nanao hoe: Aiza intsony re no misy tahaka izany tanàna lehibe izany?

¹⁸and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city?

¹⁹Ary nanopy vovoka hiraraka tamin'ny lohany izy, dia niantso sady nitomany sy nisaona ka nanao hoe: Indrisy! indrisy! ilay tanàna lehibe, izay nampanan-karena izay rehetra manan-tsambo eny amin'ny ranomasina noho ny zava-tsaro-bidy tao aminy; fa tamin'ny ora iray monja no nahafoana izany.

¹⁹and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness — for in one hour was she made waste.

²⁰Mifalia noho izay zavatra nanjo azy ianao. ry lanitra, sy ianareo olona masina sy ianareo Apostoly, ary ianareo mpaminany; fa Andriamanitra efa nitsara azy ka namaly azy noho ny taminareo.

²⁰`Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!`

²¹Ary nisy anjely mahery anankiray nibata vato tahaka ny vato lehibe fikosoham-bary, dia nanipy izany tany an-dranomasina ka nanao hoe: Hatsipy mafy toy izany no ho fandrava an'i Babylona, ilay tanàna lehibe, ka tsy ho hita intsony izy.

²¹And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great millstone, and did cast [it] to the sea, saying, `Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found any more at all;

²²Ary ny feon'ny mpitendry lokanga sy ny mpitsoka mozika sy ny mpitsoka sodina ary ny mpitsoka trompetra dia tsy ho re eo aminao intsony; ary ny mpiasa rehetra mahay zavatra na inona na inona tsy ho hita eo aminao intsony; ary ny feon'ny vato fikosoham-bary tsy ho re eo aminao intsony;

²²and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any artizan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any more;

²³ary ny fahazavan'ny jiro tsy mba hahazava eo aminao intsony; ary ny feon'ny mpampakatra sy ny ampakarina tsy ho re eo aminao intsony; fa lehiben'ny tany ny mpandrantonao; fa ny ody ratsinao no nentinao namitaka ny firenena rehetra.Ary teo anatiny no nahitana ny ran'ny mpaminany sy ny olona masina sy itsy rehetra novonoina teny ambonin'ny tany.

²³and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,

²⁴Ary teo anatiny no nahitana ny ran'ny mpaminany sy ny olona masina sy itsy rehetra novonoina teny ambonin'ny tany.

²⁴and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.`
