¹A prišiel jeden zo siedmich anjelov, ktorí to mali tých sedem čiaš, a prehovoril so mnou a riekol mi: Poď, ukážem ti odsúdenie tej veľkej smilnice, ktorá sedí na mnohých vodách,

¹One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

²s ktorou smilnili kráľovia zeme, a spili sa vínom jej smilstva obyvatelia zeme.

²with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”

³A zaniesol ma v duchu na púšť. A videl som ženu, ktorá sedela na šarlátovej šelme, ktorá bola plná rúhavých mien a mala sedem hláv a desať rohov.

³He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

⁴A žena bola odiata purpurom a šarlátom a bola pokrytá zlatom a ozdobená drahým kamením a perlami a vo svojej ruke mala zlatý pohár, plný ohavností a nečistoty svojho smilstva,

⁴The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.

⁵a na svojom čele mala napísané meno: Tajomstvo, Veľký Babylon, Mater smilníc a ohavností zeme.

⁵And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

⁶A videl som ženu, že bola opilá krvi svätých a krvi svedkov Ježišových. A keď som ju videl, náramne som sa divil.

⁶I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

⁷A anjel mi povedal: Prečo sa divíš? Ja ti poviem tajomstvo ženy aj šelmy, ktorá ju nesie a ktorá má sedem hláv a desať rohov.

⁷The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁸Šelma, ktorú si videl, bola a nie je a má vyjsť z priepasti a ísť do zatratenia. A budú sa diviť obyvatelia zeme, ktorých mená nie sú zapísané v knihe života od založenia sveta, keď budú vidieť šelmu, že bola a nie je, a keď zase tu bude.

⁸The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present. TR reads “yet is” instead of “shall be present”

⁹Tu je zmysel, ktorý má múdrosť: Sedem hláv je sedem vrchov, na ktorých sedí žena.

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

¹⁰A je sedem kráľov. Päť ich padlo, a jeden je, ten druhý ešte neprišiel. A keď prijde, musí trochu potrvať.

¹⁰They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

¹¹A šelma, ktorá bola a nie je, aj ona sama je ôsmym, a je z tých siedmich a ide do zatratenia.

¹¹The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

¹²A desať rohov, ktoré si videl, je desať kráľov, ktorí ešte nedostali kráľovstva, ale moc ako kráľovia dostanú jednej hodiny spolu so šelmou.

¹²The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.

¹³Tí majú jednu myseľ a svoju moc a svoje právo dajú šelme.

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

¹⁴Tí budú bojovať s Baránkom, a Baránok zvíťazí nad nimi, pretože je Pánom pánov a Kráľom kráľov, aj tí, ktorí sú s ním, povolaní, vyvolení a verní.

¹⁴These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful.”

¹⁵A povedal mi: Vody, ktoré si videl, kde sedí smilnica, sú ľudia, zástupy, národy a jazyky.

¹⁵He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

¹⁶A desať rohov, ktoré si videl, i šelma, tí budú nenávidieť smilnicu a spustošia ju a obnažia a budú jesť jej mäsá a ju spália ohňom.

¹⁶The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

¹⁷Lebo to Bôh dal do ich srdca, aby vykonali jeho úmysel a aby prišli na jednu mienku a dali svoje kráľovstvo šelme, dokiaľ by sa nevykonaly slová Božie.

¹⁷For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

¹⁸A žena, ktorú si videl, je to veľké mesto, ktoré má kráľovstvo nad kráľmi zeme.

¹⁸The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
