¹After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.

¹Potem sem videl drugega angela iti doli z neba, ki je imel oblast veliko; in zemlja se je razsvetlila od slave njegove.

²He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!

²In zavpije z močnim glasom, rekoč: Padel je, padel Babilon veliki, in postal je prebivališče hudičev in ječa vseh nečistih duhov in ječa vseh nečistih in sovraženih ptičev.

³For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”

³Kajti od vina srda nečistosti njene so pili vsi narodi, in kralji zemeljski so nečistovali ž njo, in trgovci zemlje so obogateli od silne bujnosti njene.

⁴I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,

⁴In slišal sem drug glas z nebes, govoreč: Izidite iz nje, ljudstvo moje, da se ne udeležite grehov njenih in da ne prejmete od njenih šib;

⁵for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.

⁵kajti grehi njeni so se nakopičili do neba, in Bog se je spomnil krivic njenih.

⁶Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.

⁶Vrnite ji, kakor je tudi ona vračala, in podvojite ji dvojno po delih njenih; v kozarec, v katerega je mešala, namešajte ji dvojno.

⁷However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’

⁷Kolikor se je poveličala in prešerno živela, toliko ji dajte muke in žalosti. Kajti v srcu svojem govori: Kraljica sedim in vdova nisem, in žalosti ne bom videla.

⁸Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.

⁸Zato pridejo v enem dnevu šibe njene, smrt in žalost in lakota, in v ognju bo sežgana; kajti močan je Gospod, Bog, ki jo je sodil.

⁹The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,

⁹In jokali bodo in žalovali zanjo kralji zemlje, kateri so nečistovali ž njo in prešerno živeli, ko bodo videli dim požara njenega,

¹⁰standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’

¹⁰od daleč stoječ v strahu pred muko njeno in govoreč: Gorje, gorje, mesto veliko, Babilon, mesto močno! ker v eni uri je prišla sodba tvoja.

¹¹The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;

¹¹In trgovci zemlje jokajo in žalujejo za njo, ker njih blaga ne kupuje nihče več:

¹²merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;

¹²blaga iz zlata in srebra in dragega kamenja in biserov in tenčice in bagra in svile in škrlata, in vsakterega lesa dišečega in vsakterega orodja slonokoščenega in vsakterega orodja iz lesa predragega in brona in železa in marmorja,

¹³and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.

¹³in sladke skorje in tujih korenin in dišav in mire in kadila, in vina in olja in bele moke in pšenice, in goved in ovac, in konj in voz in sužnjev in duš človeških.

¹⁴The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.

¹⁴In sadje, ki si ga je želela duša tvoja, je odšlo od tebe, in vse tolsto in sijajno ti je izginilo, in nikdar več jih nihče ne najde.

¹⁵The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;

¹⁵Trgovci s temi rečmi, ki so obogateli od nje, bodo stali oddaleč v strahu pred muko njeno, jokajoč in žalujoč in govoreč:

¹⁶saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!

¹⁶Gorje, gorje, mesto véliko, ki je bilo oblečeno v tenčico in v bager in škrlat in pozlačeno z zlatom in dragim kamenjem in biseri!

¹⁷For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,

¹⁷kajti v eni uri je izničeno toliko bogastvo. In vsi krmarji in vsak, kdor se kam vozi v ladji, in brodniki in katerikoli imajo opravila na morju, so stali oddaleč

¹⁸and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’

¹⁸in vpili, videč dim požara njenega, in govorili: Katero je enako temu mestu vélikemu?

¹⁹They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For in one hour is she made desolate.

¹⁹In vrgli so si prahu na glave in so vpili, jokajoč in žalujoč in govoreč: Gorje, gorje, mesto véliko, v katerem so obogateli vsi, ki imajo ladje na morju, vsled potratnosti njegove! kajti v eni uri je opustošeno.

²⁰“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.”

²⁰Veselite se njega, nebesa, in svetniki in apostoli in proroki, ker je Bog sodil sodbo vašo nad njim.

²¹A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.

²¹In en angel, močan, je vzdignil kamen, velik kakor mlinski kamen, in ga vrgel v morje, rekoč: Tako siloma bo doli vržen Babilon, mesto veliko, in ne bode ga več.

²²The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.

²²In glas citralcev in godcev in piskačev in trobentačev se ne bo nikdar več slišal v tebi, in noben umetnik kake umetnosti se ne prikaže nikdar več v tebi, in mlina glas se ne bo nikdar več čul v tebi,

²³The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

²³in svetilnice luč nikoli več ne bo svetila v tebi, in glas ženina in neveste se ne bo nikdar več čul v tebi; kajti trgovci tvoji so bili velikaši zemlje; in s čarodejstvom tvojim so bili zapeljani vsi narodi.In v njem se je našla kri prorokov in svetnikov in vseh, ki so bili zaklani na zemlji.

²⁴In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”

²⁴In v njem se je našla kri prorokov in svetnikov in vseh, ki so bili zaklani na zemlji.
