Notes on this text (1)

1 И пришел один из семи Ангелов, имеющих семь чаш, и, говоря со мною, сказал мне: подойди, я покажу тебе суд над великою блудницею, сидящею на водах многих;
1 One 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,
2 с нею блудодействовали цари земные, и вином ее блудодеяния упивались живущие на земле.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell on the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
3 И повел меня в духе в пустыню; и я увидел жену, сидящую на звере багряном, преисполненном именами богохульными, с семью головами и десятью рогами.
3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 И жена облечена была в порфиру и багряницу, украшена золотом, драгоценными камнями и жемчугом, и держала золотую чашу в руке своей, наполненную мерзостями и нечистотою блудодейства ее;
4 The 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.
5 и на челе ее написано имя: тайна, Вавилон великий, мать блудницам и мерзостям земным.
5 And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
6 Я видел, что жена упоена была кровью святых и кровью свидетелей Иисусовых, и видя ее, дивился удивлением великим.
6 I 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.
7 И сказал мне Ангел: что ты дивишься? я скажу тебе тайну жены сей и зверя, носящего ее, имеющего семь голов и десять рогов.
7 The 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.
8 Зверь, которого ты видел, был, и нет его, и выйдет из бездны, и пойдет в погибель; и удивятся те из живущих на земле, имена которых не вписаны в книгу жизни от начала мира, видя, что зверь был, и нет его, и явится.
8 The 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.
9 Здесь ум, имеющий мудрость. Семь голов суть семь гор, на которых сидит жена,
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10 и семь царей, из которых пять пали, один есть, а другой еще не пришел, и когда придет, не долго ему быть.
10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
11 И зверь, который был и которого нет, есть восьмой, и из числа семи, и пойдет в погибель.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
12 И десять рогов, которые ты видел, суть десять царей, которые еще не получили царства, но примут власть со зверем, как цари, на один час.
12 The 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.
13 Они имеют одни мысли и передадут силу и власть свою зверю.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 Они будут вести брань с Агнцем, и Агнец победит их; ибо Он есть Господь господствующих и Царь царей, и те, которые с Ним, суть званые и избранные и верные.
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 И говорит мне: воды, которые ты видел, где сидит блудница, суть люди и народы, и племена и языки.
15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
16 И десять рогов, которые ты видел на звере, сии возненавидят блудницу, и разорят ее, и обнажат, и плоть ее съедят, и сожгут ее в огне;
16 The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
17 потому что Бог положил им на сердце — исполнить волю Его, исполнить одну волю, и отдать царство их зверю, доколе не исполнятся слова Божии.
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
18 Жена же, которую ты видел, есть великий город, царствующий над земными царями.
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For that peoples are signified under the name of waters the Apocalypse of John clearly indicates to us, where, after he had been shown many waters, and he had asked what they were, was answered that they were peoples. That water, then--namely, that people--was shut in by the five books of Moses, as by five porches.
