Revelation 18 Apokalupsias Iōannou 18
1Meta houteim horama alloson angelon katabainarōnton ek tou ouranou, echarōnton exousian megan, kai tas gēas fōtizita ek tau doxau autou.After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. 2kai krazata ⸀en ischura fōna legarōntos; Piptata, ⸀piptata Babulōnas tas megas, kai geneta katoikētēriem ⸀daimoneiu kai fulakas panteu pneumeu akatharteu kai fulakas panteu ornitheu akatharteu ⸂kai fulakas panteu thēreu akatharteu⸃ kai misorēnteu,And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast. 3hoti ek tou oinou tou thumou tau porneiau autau ⸀pinalē panteim teim ethneim, kai tois basilevois tau gēau meta autau porneuala, kai tois emporois tau gēau ek tau dunamiau teu strēneu autau ploutala.All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”
4Kai akouama allosan fōnan ek tou ouranou legarōntan; ⸀Exerchavar, ⸂tos laor mu, ek autau,⸃ hina mē sunkoinōnaveia tai hamartai autau, kai ek taiu plēgaiu autau hina mē labaveia;Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues. 5hoti kollila autau tais hamartais achri tou ouranou, kai mnēmoneuata tos theos teim adikēmeim autau.For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6apodōavar auta hōs kai autas apodōata, kai ⸀diplavar ⸀teim diploueim kata teim ergeim autau; en te potērie he kerannuata kerannuavar auta diplouem;Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup. 7hoseim doxazata heautan kai strēniata, tosouton dōavar auta basanismon kai penthem. hoti en ta kardia autau legatō hoti Kathomō basilissas, kai chēras ouk amō, kai penthem ouk mē horameia.As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’ 8dia houtem en hena hēmera hēkali tais plēgais autau, thanatos kai penthem kai limos, kai en pure katakaiiti; hoti ischuros kurios tos theos tos krinarantos autan.Therefore her plagues will come in one day — death and grief and famine — and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”
9Kai klaiali kai kopteli epi autan tois basilevois tau gēau tois meta autau porneuarantois kai strēniarantois, hotan blepaleiō ton kapnon tau purōsiau autau,Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. 10apo makrothen stēarēntois dia ton fobon tou basanismou autau legarōntois; Ouai ouai, tas polar tas megar, Babulōnar tas polar tas ischurar, hoti hena hōra erchata tas krisias su.In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, the mighty city of Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
11Kai tois emporois tau gēau ⸂klaialō kai penthalō⸃ epi ⸀autan, hoti ton gomon autoiu oudenos agorazatō ouketi,And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo — 12gomon chrusou kai argurou kai lithou timiou kai ⸀margaritoiu kai bussineu kai ⸀porfurau kai sirikeu kai kokkineu, kai pantem xulem thuinem kai pantem skevem elefantinem kai pantem skevem ek xuleu timiotateu kai chalkou kai sidērou kai marmarou,cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13kai kinnamōmem ⸂kai amōmem⸃ kai thumiameim kai murem kai libanon kai oinon kai elaiem kai semidalian kai siton kai ⸂ktēneim kai probateim,⸃ kai hippoiu kai redaiu kai sōmeiu, kai psuchain anthrōpoiu.of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and carriages; of bodies and souls of slaves. 14kai tas opōras ⸂su tau epithumiau tau psuchau⸃ aperchata apo su, kai panteim teim lipareim kai teim lampreim apoleta apo su, kai ⸀ouketi ⸂ouk mē auteim heuriskali.⸃And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be seen again.” 15tois emporois houteiu, tois ploutarantois apo autau, apo makrothen stēeli dia ton fobon tou basanismou autau klaiarōntois kai pentharōntois,The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn, 16⸀legarōntois; Ouai ouai, tas polar tas megar, tas peribalorēntar bussinem kai porfurouem kai kokkinem kai ⸀chrusorēntar chrusie kai litho timio kai ⸀margarito,saying: “Woe, woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17hoti hena hōra erēmita tos tosoutos ploutos. Kai pantos kubernētos kai pantos tos epi topon plarōntos, kai nautois kai hosois tan thalassan ergazolō, apo makrothen stēalaFor in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor, and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance
18kai ⸀krazala bleparōntois ton kapnon tau purōsiau autau legarōntois; Tinas homoias ta pola ta mega?and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will exclaim. 19kai balala chouon epi tain kefalain autoiu kai ⸀krazala klaiarōntois kai ⸀pentharōntois legarōntois; Ouai ouai, tas polas tas megas, en ha ploutala pantois tois echarōntois teim ploieim en ta thalassa ek tau timiotau autau, hoti hena hōra erēmita.Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”
20Eufranosōr epi auta, ouranor, kai tois hagioir kai tois apostoloir kai tois profētoir, hoti krinata tos theos tem krimem vu ek autau.Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.
21Kai airata henos angelos ischuros lithon hōs ⸀mulinon megon, kai balata eis tan thalassan legarōntos; Houtōs hormēme baliti Babulōnas tas megas polas, kai ouk mē heuriskiteia ēti.Then a mighty angel picked up a stone the size of a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be cast down, never to be seen again. 22kai fōnas kitharōdoiu kai mousikoiu kai aulētoiu kai salpistoiu ouk mē akouiteia en si ēti, kai pantos technitos pantau technau ouk mē heuriskiteia en si ēti, kai fōnas mulou ouk mē akouiteia en si ēti,And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will never ring out in you again. Nor will any craftsmen of any trade be found in you again, nor the sound of a millstone be heard in you again. 23kai fōtem luchnou ouk mē fanateia en si ēti, kai fōnas numfiou kai numfau ouk mē akouiteia en si ēti; hoti tois emporois su ale tois megistanois tau gēau, hoti en ta farmakeia su planila panteim teim ethneim,The light of a lamp will never shine in you again, and the voices of a bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.” 24kai en auta ⸀haimem profētoiu kai hagioiu heuriskita kai pantoiu toiu sfazorēntoiu epi tau gēau.And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.
