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,

¹In prišel je eden iz sedmerih angelov, ki imajo sedmere čaše, in je govoril z menoj, rekoč: Sem! pokažem ti sodbo nečistnice vélike, sedeče na mnogih vodah,

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.”

²s katero so nečistovali kralji zemeljski, in z vinom nečistosti njene so se opijanili zemlje prebivalci.

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.

³In odnese me v puščavo v Duhu; in videl sem ženo, sedečo na zveri škrlatni, polni imen preklinjanja, imajoči sedem glav in rogov deset.

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.

⁴In žena je bila oblečena v bager in v škrlat in pozlačena z zlatom in dragim kamenjem in biseri; imela je zlat kozarec v roki, poln gnusob in nečistosti kurbarstva svojega;

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

⁵in na čelu ji je bilo ime zapisano, skrivnost: Babilon véliki, mati nečistnic in gnusob zemlje!

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.

⁶In videl sem to ženo pijano krvi svetnikov in krvi pričevalcev Jezusovih. In videč jo, sem se silno čudil.

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.

⁷In angel mi reče: Zakaj se čudiš? Jaz ti povem skrivnost žene in zveri, ki jo nosi, ki ima sedem glav in rogov deset.

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”

⁸Zver, ki si jo videl, je bila in je ni, in priti ima gori iz brezna in iti v pogubo; in prebivalci na zemlji, katerih imena niso zapisana v knjigi življenja od ustanovitve sveta, se bodo čudili, gledajoč zver, da je bila in je ni, a zopet pride.

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

⁹Tukaj razum, ki ima modrost: sedmero glav je sedem gorá, kjer žena sedi na njih;

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.

¹⁰in je kraljev sedem: pet jih je padlo in eden je, drugi še ni prišel, in kadar pride, sme malo časa ostati.

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

¹¹In zver, ki je bila in je ni, je sam tudi osmi in je izmed sedmerih in gre v pogubo.

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.

¹²In desetero rogov, ki si jih videl, je deset kraljev, ki še niso prejeli kraljestva, ali prejmo oblast kot kralji za eno uro z zverjo vred.

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

¹³Ti imajo eno misel, in moč in oblast svojo izročé zveri.

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.”

¹⁴Ti se bodo vojskovali z Jagnjetom, in Jagnje jih bo zmagalo, ker je gospodov Gospod in kraljev Kralj, in ž njim bodo zmagali poklicani in izvoljeni in zvesti.

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

¹⁵In reče mi: Vode, ki si jih videl, kjer sedi nečistnica, so ljudstva in množice in narodi in jeziki.

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.

¹⁶In deseteri rogovi, ki si jih videl, in zver, ti bodo sovražili nečistnico in jo naredili pusto in nago ter meso njeno pojedli in njo sežgali v ognju.

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.

¹⁷Kajti Bog je dal v njih srca, da storé misel njegovo in da store eno misel in dado kraljestvo svoje zveri, dokler se ne izvršé besede Božje.In žena, ki si jo videl, je mesto véliko, ki ima kraljestvo nad kralji zemlje.

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

¹⁸In žena, ki si jo videl, je mesto véliko, ki ima kraljestvo nad kralji zemlje.
