Revelation 17 Apokalupsias Iōannou 17
1Kai erchata henos ek toiu hepta angeloiu toiu echarōntoiu tain hepta fialain, kai lalata meta mu legarōntos; Deuro, deikami si tem krimem tau pornau tau megau tau kathorōntau epi ⸀hudeiu polleiu,Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. 2meta hau porneuala tois basilevois tau gēau, kai methuila tois katoikarōntois tan gēan ek tou oinou tau porneiau autau.The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.” 3kai apoferata min eis erēman en pneume. kai horama gunaikan kathorōntan epi thērem kokkinem, ⸀gemarōnteim onomeim blasfēmiau, ⸀echarōntos kefalain hepta kai kerateim deka.And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4kai tas gunaikas ate peribalorēntas porfurouem kai kokkinem, ⸀kai chrusorēntas ⸀chrusie kai litho timio kai margaritoi, echarōntas potēriem chrusouem en ta cheira autau gemarōntem bdelugmeiu kai teim akatharteim tau porneiau autau,The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5kai epi tem metōpem autau onomem graforēntem, mustēriem, Babulōnas tas megas, tas mētēras taiu pornaiu kai teiu bdelugmeiu tau gēau.And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6kai horama tan gunaikan methuarōntan ek teu haimeu toiu hagioiu ⸀kai ek teu haimeu toiu marturoiu Iēsu. Kai thaumazama horarantos autan thaumem megem;I could see that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and witnesses for Jesus. And I was utterly amazed at the sight of her.
7kai legata mi tos angelos; Dia tinem thaumazasa? mis legami si tem mustēriem tau gunaikau kai teu thēreu teu bastazarōnteu autan, teu echarōnteu tain hepta kefalain kai teim deka kerateim;“Why are you so amazed?” said the angel. “I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8tem thērem hem horasa ate kai ouk atō, kai mellatō anabainarō ek tau abussau, kai eis apōleian ⸀hupagatō; kai ⸀thaumazili tois katoikarōntois epi tau gēau, hoiu ouk grafotē ⸂tem onomem⸃ epi tem bibliem tau zōau apo katabolau kosmou, bleparōntoiu ⸂tem thērem hoti ate⸃ kai ouk atō kai pareieti.The beast that you saw — it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. And those who dwell on the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet will be.
9Hōde tos nouos tos echarōntos sofian. tais hepta kefalais hepta oreim alō, hopou tas gunaikas kathotō epi auteiu. kai basilevois ⸂hepta alō;⸃This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10tois pente piptala, tos henos atō, tos allosos oupō erchata, kai hotan erchateia oligem ⸂auton datō⸃ menara,There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. But when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11kai tem thērem hem ate kai ouk atō. kai ⸀autos ogdoos atō kai ek toiu hepta atō, kai eis apōleian hupagatō.The beast that was, and now is not, is an eighth king, who belongs to the other seven and is going into destruction. 12kai teim deka kerateim heim horasa deka basilevois alō, hotinois basileian oupō labala, alla exousian hōs basilevois henan hōran labalō meta teu thēreu.The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings along with the beast. 13houtois henan ⸂gnōman echalō,⸃ kai tan dunamian ⸀kai exousian autoiu te thēre dōalō.These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast. 14houtois meta teu arnieu polemali, kai tem arniem nikati autoin, hoti kurios kurioiu atō kai basilevos basilevoiu, kai tois meta autou klētois kai eklektois kai pistois.They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”
15Kai legatō mi; Teim hudeim heim horasa, hou tas pornas kathotō, laois kai ochlois alō kai ethneim kai glōssais.Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute was seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. 16kai teim deka kerateim heim horasa kai tem thērem, houtois misali tan pornan, kai erēmorēntan poiali autan kai ⸀gumnan, kai tain sarkain autau esthieli, kai autan katakaiali en pure;And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17tos gar theos dōata eis tain kardiain autoiu poiara tan gnōman autou, kai poiara ⸂henan gnōman⸃ kai dōara tan basileian autoiu te thēre, achri ⸀telili tois logois tou theou.For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18kai tas gunaikas han horasa atō tas polas tas megas tas echarōntas basileian epi toiu basilevoiu tau gēau.And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
