Apokalipsia 18
1 Eta gauça hauen ondoan ikus neçan berce Ainguerubat iausten cela cerutic, bothere handia çuela: eta argui cedin lurra haren gloriáz:
After this I saw another angel, descending from Heaven, invested with great authority; and the earth was illuminated by his splendour.
2 Eta oihuz iar cedin botheretsuqui voz handiz, cioela, Erori da, erori da Babylon handi hura, eta eguin içan da deabruén habitatione, eta spiritu satsu ororen eta hegaztina satsu eta execrable ororen retiragune:
With a mighty voice he cried — ‘She has fallen! She has fallen — Babylon the Great! She has become an abode of demons, a stronghold of every wicked spirit, a stronghold of every foul and hateful bird.
3 Ecen haren paillardiçaren hirazco mahatsarnotic edan vkan dute gende guciéc, eta lurreco reguéc harequin paillardatu vkan dute: eta lurreco merkatariac haren delicietaco abrastassunetic abrastu içan dirade.
For, after drinking the maddening wine of her licentiousness, all the nations have fallen; while all the kings of the earth have had licentious intercourse with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the excess of her luxury.’
4 Eta ençun neçan berce vozbat cerutic, cioela, Ilki çaitezte hartaric ene populuá, haren bekatuetan participant etzaretençát, eta haren plaguetaric recebi ezteçaçuençát.
Then I heard another voice from Heaven saying — ‘Come out of her, my People, that you may not participate in her sins, and that you may not suffer from the Curses inflicted upon her.
5 Ecen haren bekatuac elkarri iarreiqui içan çaizca cerurano, eta orhoit içan da Iaincoa haren iniquitatéz.
For her sins are heaped up to the heavens, and God has not forgotten her misdeeds.
6 Renda ieçoçue harc eguin vkan drauçuen beçala: eta paga ieçoçue doblea bere obrén araura: harc erautsi vkan drauçuen copán eman ieçoçue doblea.
Pay her back the treatment with which she has treated you; yes, repay twice over what her actions deserve; in the cup which she mixed for you, mix for her as much again;
7 Cembat bere buruä glorificatu vkan baitu, eta deliciotan içan baita, emoçue hambat tormenta eta nigar: ecen bere bihotzean erraiten du, Iarria nago reguina, eta eznaiz alhargun, eta vrthueriaric eztacusquet.
for her self-glorification and her luxury, give her now an equal measure of torture and misery. In her heart she says ‘I sit here a queen; no widow am I; I shall never know misery.’
8 Halacotz egun batez ethorriren dirade haren plagác, herio eta vrthueria eta gossete: eta suz erreren da: ecen Iainco Iauna borthitz da, ceinec iugeaturen baitu hura.
Therefore in one day shall these Curses befall her — death, misery, and famine, and she shall be utterly consumed by fire; for mighty is the Lord God who condemned her.
9 Eta nigar eguinen duté harçaz eta deithore haren gainean lurreco reguéc, harequin paillardatu dutenéc eta deliciosqui vici içan diradenéc, dacusqueitenean haren erratzeco kea:
All the kings of the earth who had licentious intercourse with her and shared her luxury will weep and lament over her, when they see the smoke from the burning city,
10 Vrrun daudela haren tormentaren beldurrez, dioitela, Elas, elas, Babylon ciuitate handiá, ciuitate borthitzá nola hire condemnationea oren batez ethorri içan den!
while they stand at a distance, horrified at her torture, and cry — ‘Alas! Alas! Great City! O mighty City of Babylon! In a single hour your judgment fell.
11 Lurreco merkatariéc-ere nigar eguinen duté eta deithore haren gainean, ceren nehorc ezpaitu hayén marchandiçatic erosten guehiagoric:
And the merchants of the earth weep and wail over her, because no longer does any one buy their cargoes —
12 Marchandiça vrrhezcoric, eta cilharrezcoric, eta harri preciatuzcoric, eta perlazcoric, eta crespazcoric, eta pourprezcoric, eta cetazcoric, eta escarlatazcoric, eta vssain onetaco çur mota gucitacoric, eta yuoirezco vnci gucitacoric, eta vnci gucizco çur preciatuzcoric, eta cobrezcoric, eta burdinazcoric, eta marbrezcoric:
their cargoes of gold, or silver, or precious stones, or pearls, or fine linen, or purple robes, or silk, or scarlet cloth; nor their many scented woods; nor their many articles of ivory; nor their many articles of choicest wood, or brass, or iron, or marble;
13 Eta canela, eta vssain on, eta vnguentu, eta encensu, eta mahatsarno, eta olio, eta irin flore fin, eta ogui bihi, eta behor eta ardi, eta çaldi, eta carriot, eta sclabo, eta guiçonén arima.
nor their cinnamon, or spice, or incense, or perfumes, or frankincense, or wine, or oil, or fine flour, or wheat, or cattle, or sheep; nor their horses, or chariots, or slaves; nor the bodies and souls of men.
14 (Hire arimaren desirezco fructuac ioan ditun hireganic, eta gauça delicatu eta excellent guciac galdu içan çaizquin: eta eztitun guehiagoric gauça hec eridenen)
The fruit that your soul craved is no longer within your reach, and all dainties and luxuries are lost to you, never to be found again.’
15 Gauça hauén merkatariac bada abrastu içanic vrrun harenganic egonen dirate haren tormentaren beldurrez, nigarrez eta deithorez daudela.
The merchants who sold these things, and grew rich by her, will stand at a distance weeping and wailing, horrified at her torture, and crying —
16 Eta dioitela, Elas, elas, Ciuitate handia, cein baitzén crespaz veztitua, eta pourpraz, eta escarlataz, eta baitzén vrrhestatua vrrhez, eta appaindua harri preciatuz eta perlaz; nola oren batez desolatu içan dirade hain abrastassun handiac?
‘Alas! Alas! Great City! O City clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet cloth! O City adorned with gold ornaments, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 Vnci pilotu guciac-ere, eta vncietaco compainia gucia, eta marinerac eta cembatec-ere itsassoan baitiharducate, vrrun egonen dirade.
In a single hour your vast wealth vanished.’ Every ship’s captain and all who sail to any port, and sailors, and all who get their living from the sea, stood at a distance,
18 Eta haren erratzeco kea dacussatenean, heyagoraz iarriren dirate, dioitela, Cein ciuitate cen ciuitate handi hunen pareric?
and seeing the smoke from the burning city, cried — ‘What city can compare with the Great City?’
19 Eta errhauts egotziren duqueite bere buru gainetara, eta heyagora eguinen duqueite nigarrez eta deithorez daudela, eta dioitela, Elas, elas, ciuitate handiá, ceinetan abrastu içan baitziraden itsassoan vnciric çuten guciac, haren magnificentia handitic, nola oren batez deseguin içan den!
They threw dust on their heads, and, as they wept and wailed, they cried — ‘Alas! Alas! Great City! All who have ships on the sea grew rich through her magnificence. In a single hour it has vanished.’
20 Alegueradi haren gainean ceruä, eta çuec Apostolu eta Propheta sainduác: ecen Iaincoac iugeatu vkan du çuen causá, harçaz den becembatean.
Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and People of Christ, and Apostles, and Prophets, for God has avenged you on her!
21 Guero har ceçan Aingueru borthitzbatec harribat, errota harri handibat beçalacoric, eta iraitz ceçan itsassora, cioela, Hunelaco indarrez iraitziren da Babylone ciuitate handia, eta ezta guehiagoric eridenen.
Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, crying — ‘So shall Babylon, the Great City, be violently overthrown, never more to be seen.
22 Eta guittarrarién, eta musicianoén, eta chirula, eta trompetta soinularién vozic eztatec hitan guehiagoric ençunen: ez cer-ere officiotaco den officieric batre eztatec guehiagoric hitan eridenen: eta errota harriaren hotsa eztatec guehiagoric hitan ençunen:
No more shall the music of harpers, or minstrels, or flute players, or trumpeters be heard in you, no more shall any worker, skilled in any art, be found in you; no more shall the sound of a mill be heard in you;
23 Eta candela arguiac eztic arguiric eguinen hitan guehiagoric, eta sposoaren eta sposaren voza eztuc hitan guehiagoric ençunen, ceren hire merkatariac lurreco prince baitziraden, ceren hire poçoinqueriéz seducitu içan baitirade natione guciac.
no more shall the light of a lamp shine in you; no more shall the voices of bridegroom and bride be heard in you. Your merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your magical charms.
24 Baina hartan Prophetén eta Sainduén odola eriden içan da, eta lurraren gainean heriotara eman içan diraden gucienena.
Yes, and in her was to be found the blood of the Prophets and of Christ’s People, and of all who have been put to death upon the earth.’
