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.
这之后，我看见另一位天使从天而降，他拥有伟大的权力，他的荣耀照亮了大地。
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!
他用强有力的声音呼喊：“伟大的巴比伦倾倒为废墟！她已成为恶魔的住处，各样污灵的庇护所，一和一切不洁可憎之鸟的栖息地。
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.”
因为各国都喝了她淫乱烈怒的酒，喝醉了；地上的君王与她行淫，世上的商人因她的挥霍发了财。”
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,
我听见天上传来另一个声音，说：“从那城出来吧，我的子民！免得她的罪你们也有分，受她所受的灾难；
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
因为她罪恶滔天，上帝发现了她的邪恶。
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.
她怎样待人，你们也要怎样待她；按照她的行为加倍报应她；按照她的酒杯，将加倍的痛苦调给她。
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.’
就像她对自己的吹嘘和放纵自己的欲望一样，给她的回报也是一样的痛苦和悲伤。。她告诉自己：‘我如女王统治，我不是寡妇，决不会感到悲伤。’
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.
因为只需一天，她的灾难必然来到，那就是死亡、悲哀和饥荒；她还要被火中摧毁，因为谴责她的主上帝是有着巨大的能力。
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,
地上的众王跟她一同行邪淫, 骄奢无度，看见焚烧她的烟，就会为她痛哭捶胸。
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.’
他们害怕会遭受她所受的痛苦，所以远远站着，说：‘灾难！灾难！灾难降临这伟大的城市巴比伦。只需一小时，您的审判就实行了！’
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
地上的商人也为她悲哀痛哭，因为没有人再买他们的货物：
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;
金、银、宝石、珍珠；细麻布、紫色布、丝绸、红色材料；各样香木制品，各样象牙制品，各样贵重木器、铜器、铁器、大理石制品；
13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
肉桂、香料、焚香、乳香；酒、橄榄油、面粉、麦子；牛、羊、马、车、奴仆和囚犯。
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.
你失去了最喜爱的甜蜜快乐！一切奢华闪亮的财富都从你那里消失，再也找不到了！
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,
贩卖这些货物、借着她发财的商人，因为害怕会遭受她受的痛苦，就远远地站着。他们哭喊着、悲伤着，说
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!
‘灾难！灾难降临了这伟大城市！她穿着细麻布紫色长袍，佩戴金子、宝石和珍珠的珠宝，
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,
只一小时，所有这些财富竟荡然无存！’每个船长、每个海上旅客和水手、以及每个靠海谋生的，都远远地站着。
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
摧毁她的火焰飘出烟，他们看到了，就喊叫说：‘有哪座城能与这伟大的城相比？’
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.
他们把尘土撒在自己头上，痛哭悲哀，喊着说：‘灾难！因为她的奢侈，灾难打击了这让船主富有的伟大城市！只一小时，她就被摧毁了！’
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
天堂、众信徒、众使徒和众先知，庆祝她所发生的事，因为上帝审判她的方式就像审判你一样。”
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.
一位强大的天使，把一块好像磨石一样的石头举起来，拋入海里，说：“伟大的巴比伦城也会被这暴力拋下去，再也不存在。”
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.
“你们再也不会听到音乐了，竖琴、歌手、长笛和号角。再也不会有任何行业的工匠在你这里工作。在你身上再也听不到磨坊磨出面粉的声音了。
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.
你们再也不会有灯的亮光照耀了。你们再也听不到新郎新娘的声音了。你们这些商人领导这个世界，所有国家都因你们的邪术受了迷惑。。
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
在这个城市中，能找到先知、信徒和地上一切被杀之人的血。”
