< Revelation 18 >

1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܙܝܬ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܢܗܪܬ ܡܢ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ
2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
ܘܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܢܦܠܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܒܒܝܠ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܗܘܬ ܡܥܡܪܐ ܠܫܐܕܐ ܘܢܛܘܪܬܐ ܠܟܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܘܤܢܝܬܐ
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܕܙܢܝܘܬܗ ܡܙܓܬ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܘܡܠܟܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܥܡܗ ܙܢܝܘ ܘܬܓܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܫܢܝܗ ܥܬܪܘ
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
ܘܫܡܥܬ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܩܠܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܦܘܩܘ ܡܢ ܓܘܗ ܥܡܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܬܦܘܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܗ ܕܠܡܐ ܬܤܒܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܗ
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
ܡܛܠ ܕܕܒܩܘ ܒܗ ܚܛܗܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܘܠܝܗ
6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
ܦܘܪܥܘܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܗܝ ܦܪܥܬ ܘܥܘܦܘ ܠܗ ܐܥܦܐ ܥܠ ܥܒܕܝܗ ܒܟܤܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܙܓܬ ܡܙܘܓܘ ܠܗ ܐܥܦܐ
7 However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܒܚܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܐܫܬܥܠܝܬ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܟܢ ܫܘܢܩܐ ܘܐܒܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܐܡܪܐ ܕܝܬܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܟܬܐ ܘܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܠܝܬܝ ܘܐܒܠܐ ܠܐ ܐܚܙܐ
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܒܚܕ ܝܘܡܐ ܢܐܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܗ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܐܒܠܐ ܘܟܦܢܐ ܘܒܢܘܪܐ ܬܐܩܕ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܝܠܬܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܕܢܗ
9 The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
ܘܢܒܟܘܢܗ ܘܢܪܩܕܘܢ ܥܠܝܗ ܡܠܟܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܙܢܝܘ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܫܬܥܠܝܘ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܝܩܕܢܗ
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
ܟܕ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܒܘܠ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܬܫܢܝܩܗ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܘܝ ܘܝ ܘܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܒܒܝܠ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܥܫܝܢܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܚܕܐ ܫܥܐ ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢܟܝ
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
ܘܬܓܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܢܒܟܘܢ ܘܢܬܐܒܠܘܢ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܡܘܒܠܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܕܙܒܢ ܬܘܒ
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
ܡܘܒܠܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܕܤܐܡܐ ܘܕܟܐܦܐ ܝܩܝܪܬܐ ܘܕܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ ܘܕܒܘܨܐ ܘܕܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܫܐܪܝܐ ܕܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܘܟܠ ܩܝܤ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܐܢ ܕܫܢܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܐܢ ܕܩܝܤܐ ܝܩܝܪܐ ܘܢܚܫܐ ܘܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܫܝܫܐ
13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
ܘܩܘܢܝܡܘܢ ܘܒܤܡܐ ܘܡܘܪܘܢ ܘܠܒܘܢܬܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܘܤܡܝܕܐ ܘܥܪܒܐ ܘܪܟܫܐ ܘܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܘܦܓܪܐ ܘܢܦܫܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
ܘܐܒܟܝ ܪܓܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܟܝ ܐܙܠ ܡܢܟܝ ܘܟܠ ܕܫܡܝܢ ܘܫܒܝܚ ܐܙܠ ܡܢܟܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܒ ܬܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܓܪܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܪܘ ܡܢܗ ܡܢ ܩܒܘܠ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܫܘܢܩܗ ܟܕ ܒܟܝܢ ܘܐܒܝܠܝܢ
16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܘܝ ܘܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܡܥܛܦܐ ܒܘܨܐ ܘܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܕܡܕܗܒܢ ܒܕܗܒܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܝܩܝܪܬܐ ܘܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
ܡܛܠ ܕܒܚܕܐ ܫܥܐ ܐܤܬܪܩ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܕܒܪܝ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܟܠ ܐܙܠܝ ܒܐܠܦܐ ܠܕܘܟܝܬܐ ܘܐܠܦܪܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܒܝܡܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܩܡܘ
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
ܘܒܟܐܘܗ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܝܩܕܢܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܕܕܡܝܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ
19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܦܪܐ ܥܠ ܪܝܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܩܥܘ ܟܕ ܒܟܝܢ ܘܐܒܝܠܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܘܝ ܘܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܒܗ ܥܬܪܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܩܪܗ ܕܒܚܕܐ ܫܥܐ ܚܪܒܬ
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
ܐܬܦܨܚܘ ܥܠܝܗ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢܟܘܢ ܡܢܗ
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
ܘܫܩܠ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܚܝܐ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܒܚܐܦܐ ܬܫܬܕܐ ܒܒܝܠ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚ ܬܘܒ
22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
ܘܩܠܐ ܕܩܝܬܪܐ ܘܕܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܘܕܙܢܝ ܙܡܪܐ ܘܕܡܙܥܘܩܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܡܥ ܒܟܝ ܬܘܒ
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
ܘܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܫܪܓܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܠܟܝ ܬܘܒ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܚܬܢܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܟܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܡܥ ܒܟܝ ܬܘܒ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܓܪܝܟܝ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܪܘܪܒܢܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܚܪܫܝܟܝ ܐܛܥܝܬܝ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
ܘܒܗ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܕܡܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܩܛܝܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ
