1 ثُمَّ بَعْدَ هَذَا رَأَيْتُ مَلَاكًا آخَرَ نَازِلًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَظِيمٌ. وَٱسْتَنَارَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ بَهَائِهِ.
1 Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ,
2 وَصَرَخَ بِشِدَّةٍ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ قَائِلًا: «سَقَطَتْ! سَقَطَتْ بَابِلُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ! وَصَارَتْ مَسْكَنًا لِشَيَاطِينَ، وَمَحْرَسًا لِكُلِّ رُوحٍ نَجِسٍ، وَمَحْرَسًا لِكُلِّ طَائِرٍ نَجِسٍ وَمَمْقُوتٍ،
2 καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν ἰσχυρᾷ φωνῇ λέγων· ἔπεσεν, ἔπεσε Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, καὶ ἐγένετο κατοικητήριον δαιμονίων καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς πνεύματος ἀκαθάρτου καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς ὀρνέου ἀκαθάρτου καὶ μεμισημένου·
3 لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ خَمْرِ غَضَبِ زِنَاهَا قَدْ شَرِبَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَمُلُوكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ زَنَوْا مَعَهَا، وَتُجَّارُ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱسْتَغْنَوْا مِنْ وَفْرَةِ نَعِيمِهَا».
3 ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς πέπωκαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς μετ᾽ αὐτῆς ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ στρήνους αὐτῆς ἐπλούτησαν.
4 ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا آخَرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ قَائِلًا: «ٱخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا يَا شَعْبِي، لِئَلَّا تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي خَطَايَاهَا، وَلِئَلَّا تَأْخُذُوا مِنْ ضَرَبَاتِهَا.
4 Καὶ ἤκουσα ἄλλην φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσαν· ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτῆς ὁ λαός μου, ἵνα μὴ συγκοινωνήσητε ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἵνα ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς μὴ λάβητε·
5 لِأَنَّ خَطَايَاهَا لَحِقَتِ ٱلسَّمَاءَ، وَتَذَكَّرَ ٱللهُ آثَامَهَا.
5 ὅτι ἐκολλήθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐμνημόνευσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὰ ἀδικήματα αὐτῆς.
6 جَازُوهَا كَمَا هِيَ أَيْضًا جَازَتْكُمْ، وَضَاعِفُوا لَهَا ضِعْفًا نَظِيرَ أَعْمَالِهَا. فِي ٱلْكَأْسِ ٱلَّتِي مَزَجَتْ فِيهَا، ٱمْزُجُوا لَهَا ضِعْفًا.
6 ἀπόδοτε αὐτῇ ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκε, καὶ διπλώσατε [αὐτῇ] διπλᾶ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς· ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασε, κεράσατε αὐτῇ διπλοῦν.
7 بِقَدْرِ مَا مَجَّدَتْ نَفْسَهَا وَتَنَعَّمَتْ، بِقَدْرِ ذَلِكَ أَعْطُوهَا عَذَابًا وَحُزْنًا. لِأَنَّهَا تَقُولُ فِي قَلْبِهَا: أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ مَلِكَةً، وَلَسْتُ أَرْمَلَةً، وَلَنْ أَرَى حُزَنًا.
7 ὅσα ἐδόξασεν ἑαυτὴν καὶ ἐστρηνίασε, τοσοῦτον δότε αὐτῇ βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος. ὅτι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει, ὅτι κάθημαι [καθὼς] βασίλισσα καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμὶ καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω,
8 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ سَتَأْتِي ضَرَبَاتُهَا: مَوْتٌ وَحُزْنٌ وَجُوعٌ، وَتَحْتَرِقُ بِٱلنَّارِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلَّذِي يَدِينُهَا قَوِيٌّ.
8 διὰ τοῦτο ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἥξουσιν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῆς, θάνατος καὶ πένθος καὶ λιμός, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται· ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ κρίνας αὐτήν.
9 «وَسَيَبْكِي وَيَنُوحُ عَلَيْهَا مُلُوكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ زَنَوْا وَتَنَعَّمُوا مَعَهَا، حِينَمَا يَنْظُرُونَ دُخَانَ حَرِيقِهَا،
9 καὶ κλαύσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ κόψονται ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτῆς πορνεύσαντες καὶ στρηνιάσαντες, ὅταν βλέπωσι τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς,
10 وَاقِفِينَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِأَجْلِ خَوْفِ عَذَابِهَا، قَائِلِينَ: وَيْلٌ! وَيْلٌ! ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ بَابِلُ! ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْقَوِيَّةُ! لِأَنَّهُ فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ جَاءَتْ دَيْنُونَتُكِ.
10 ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑστηκότες διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς, λέγοντες· οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη Βαβυλών, ἡ πόλις ἡ ἰσχυρά, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου.
11 وَيَبْكِي تُجَّارُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَنُوحُونَ عَلَيْهَا، لِأَنَّ بَضَائِعَهُمْ لَا يَشْتَرِيهَا أَحَدٌ فِي مَا بَعْدُ،
11 καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς κλαύσουσι καὶ πενθήσουσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, ὅτι τὸν γόμον αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἀγοράζει οὐκέτι,
12 بَضَائِعَ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ وَٱللُّؤْلُؤِ وَٱلْبَزِّ وَٱلْأُرْجُوانِ وَٱلْحَرِيرِ وَٱلْقِرْمِزِ، وَكُلَّ عُودٍ ثِينِيٍّ، وَكُلَّ إِنَاءٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَاجِ، وَكُلَّ إِنَاءٍ مِنْ أَثْمَنِ ٱلْخَشَبِ وَٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ وَٱلْمَرْمَرِ،
12 γόμον χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀργύρου καὶ λίθου τιμίου καὶ μαργαρίτου, καὶ βυσσίνου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ σηρικοῦ καὶ κοκκίνου, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐκ ξύλου τιμιωτάτου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μαρμάρου,
13 وَقِرْفَةً وَبَخُورًا وَطِيبًا وَلُبَانًا وَخَمْرًا وَزَيْتًا وَسَمِيذًا وَحِنْطَةً، وَبَهَائِمَ وَغَنَمًا وَخَيْلًا، وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَأَجْسَادًا، وَنُفُوسَ ٱلنَّاسِ.
13 καὶ κινάμωμον καὶ ἄμωμον καὶ θυμιάματα, καὶ μύρον καὶ λίβανον καὶ οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ σεμίδαλιν καὶ σῖτον καὶ κτήνη καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ ἵππων καὶ ῥεδῶν καὶ σωμάτων, καὶ ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων.
14 وَذَهَبَ عَنْكِ جَنَى شَهْوَةِ نَفْسِكِ، وَذَهَبَ عَنْكِ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ مُشْحِمٌ وَبَهِيٌّ، وَلَنْ تَجِدِيهِ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.
14 καὶ ἡ ὀπώρα τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς σου ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ λιπαρὰ καὶ τὰ λαμπρὰ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ αὐτὰ εὑρήσεις.
15 تُجَّارُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَغْنَوْا مِنْهَا، سَيَقِفُونَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ خَوْفِ عَذَابِهَا، يَبْكُونَ وَيَنُوحُونَ،
15 οἱ ἔμποροι τούτων, οἱ πλουτήσαντες ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν στήσονται διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες,
16 وَيَقُولُونَ: وَيْلٌ! وَيْلٌ! ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ ٱلْمُتَسَرْبِلَةُ بِبَزٍّ وَأُرْجُوانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ، وَٱلْمُتَحَلِّيَةُ بِذَهَبٍ وَحَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ وَلُؤْلُؤٍ!
16 λέγοντες· οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ περιβεβλημένη βύσσινον καὶ πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον καὶ κεχρυσωμένη ἐν χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίταις, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος.
17 لِأَنَّهُ فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ خَرِبَ غِنىً مِثْلُ هَذَا. وَكُلُّ رُبَّانٍ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ، وَٱلْمَلَّاحُونَ وَجَمِيعُ عُمَّالِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،
17 καὶ πᾶς κυβερνήτης καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἐπὶ τόπον πλέων, καὶ ναῦται καὶ ὅσοι τὴν θάλασσαν ἐργάζονται, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν,
18 وَصَرَخُوا إِذْ نَظَرُوا دُخَانَ حَرِيقِهَا، قَائِلِينَ: أَيَّةُ مَدِينَةٍ مِثْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ؟
18 καὶ ἔκραζον βλέποντες τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς, λέγοντες· τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ;
19 وَأَلْقَوْا تُرَابًا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَصَرَخُوا بَاكِينَ وَنَائِحِينَ قَائِلِينَ: وَيْلٌ! وَيْلٌ! ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ، ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا ٱسْتَغْنَى جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُفُنٌ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ مِنْ نَفَائِسِهَا! لِأَنَّهَا فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ خَرِبَتْ!
19 καὶ ἔβαλον χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκραζον κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες, λέγοντες· οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἐν ᾗ ἐπλούτησαν πάντες οἱ ἔχοντες τὰ πλοῖα ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἐκ τῆς τιμιότητος αὐτῆς· ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη.
20 اِفْرَحِي لَهَا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاءُ، وَٱلرُّسُلُ ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَانَهَا دَيْنُونَتَكُمْ».
20 Εὐφραίνου ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, οὐρανέ, καὶ οἱ ἅγιοι καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ προφῆται, ὅτι ἔκρινεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ κρῖμα ὑμῶν ἐξ αὐτῆς.
21 وَرَفَعَ مَلَاكٌ وَاحِدٌ قَوِيٌّ حَجَرًا كَرَحًى عَظِيمَةٍ، وَرَمَاهُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا بِدَفْعٍ سَتُرْمَى بَابِلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ، وَلَنْ تُوجَدَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.
21 Καὶ ἦρεν εἷς ἄγγελος ἰσχυρὸς λίθον ὡς μύλον μέγαν καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν λέγων· οὕτως ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη πόλις, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔτι.
22 وَصَوْتُ ٱلضَّارِبِينَ بِٱلْقِيثَارَةِ وَٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلْمُزَمِّرِينَ وَٱلنَّافِخِينَ بِٱلْبُوقِ، لَنْ يُسْمَعَ فِيكِ فِي مَا بَعْدُ. وَكُلُّ صَانِعٍ صِنَاعَةً لَنْ يُوجَدَ فِيكِ فِي مَا بَعْدُ. وَصَوْتُ رَحًى لَنْ يُسْمَعَ فِيكِ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.
22 καὶ φωνὴ κιθαρῳδῶν καὶ μουσικῶν καὶ αὐλητῶν καὶ σαλπιστῶν οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ πᾶς τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ μύλου οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι,
23 وَنُورُ سِرَاجٍ لَنْ يُضِيءَ فِيكِ فِي مَا بَعْدُ. وَصَوْتُ عَرِيسٍ وَعَرُوسٍ لَنْ يُسْمَعَ فِيكِ فِي مَا بَعْدُ. لِأَنَّ تُجَّارَكِ كَانُوا عُظَمَاءَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. إِذْ بِسِحْرِكِ ضَلَّتْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ.
23 καὶ φῶς λύχνου οὐ μὴ φανῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ νύμφης οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι· ὅτι οἱ ἔμποροί σου ἦσαν οἱ μεγιστᾶνες τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη,
24 وَفِيهَا وُجِدَ دَمُ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَقِدِّيسِينَ، وَجَمِيعِ مَنْ قُتِلَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ».
24 καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἵματα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
