< 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.
In po tem sem videl angela idočega dol z nebá, imajočega oblast veliko; in zemlja se je razsvetlila od slave njegove.
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!
In zavpije v moči z glasom velikim govoreč: Padel je, padel Babilon véliki, in postal je prebivališče hudičev, in ječa vseh nečistih duhov, in ječa vseh nečistih in sovraženih tičev.
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.”
Ker od vina omotnega kurbarije njene so pili vsi narodi, in kralji zemeljski so se kurbali z njo; in trgovci zemljé so obogateli od premoči njene.
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,
In slišal sem drug glas z neba govoreč: Izidite iz nje, ljudstvo moje, da se ne udeležite grehov njenih, in da ne dobite od njenih šib;
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Kajti grehi njeni so dospeli do neba, in spomnil se je Bog krivic njenih.
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.
Vrnite ji, kakor je tudi ona vam vračala, in podvojite ji dvojno po delih njenih; v čaši, v kateri je mešala, mešajte ji dvojno.
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.’
Kolikor se je poveličala in preširno živela, toliko ji dajte muke in žalosti: ker v prsih svojih govori: Kraljica sedim, in vdova nisem, in žalosti ne bodem videla,
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.
Za to pridejo v enem dnevi šibe njene, smrt in žalost in lakot; in v ognji se bode sežgala; kajti močan je Gospod Bog, ki jo sodi.
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,
In jokali bodo in žalovali za njo kralji zemlje, kateri so se kurbali z njo in preširno živeli, ko bodo videli dim požara njenega,
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.’
Od daleč stoječ v strahu pred muko njeno, govoreč: Gorjé, gorjé, mesto veliko, Babilon, mesto močno, ker v eni uri je prišla sodba tvoja.
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
In trgovci zemlje jokajo in žalujejo za njo, ker blaga njih nihče več ne kupuje;
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;
Blaga v zlatu in srebru in drazem kamenji in biserji in bisu in bagru in svili in škrlatu, in vsakoterega lesa vonjavega in vsakoterega orodja slonokoščenega, in vsakoterega orodja iz lesa predrazega in brona in železa in mramorja;
13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
In sladke skorje in dišav in mire in kadila, in vina in olja, in bele moke in pšenice, in goved in ovác, in kónj in vóz, in teles in duš človeških.
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.
In sadje poželenja duše tvoje je odšlo od tebe, in vse veličastvo in vsa sijajnost je odšla od tebe, in večjih ne najdeš.
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,
Trgovci s tem, ki so obogateli od nje, stali bodo od daleč v strahu pred muko njeno, jokajoč in žalujoč in govoreč:
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!
Gorje, gorje, mesto véliko, oblečeno z bisom in bagrom in škrlatom, in pozlačeno sè zlatom in dragim kamenjem in biserji; kajti v eni uri je opustošeno toliko bogastvo!
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,
In vsi krmarji, in vsi na ladijah, druhal in brodniki in kateri obdeljujejo morje, stali so od daleč,
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
In vpili so videč dim požara njenega, govoreč: Katero je enako mestu vélikemu?
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.
In vrgli so prahú na glave svoje in vpili so jokajoč in žalujoč, govoreč: Gorje, gorje, mesto véliko, v katerem so obogateli vsi, kateri imajo ladije na morji, od dragocenosti njegove; kajti v eni uri se je opustošilo.
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
Veséli se njega, nebo, in sveti aposteljni in preroki, ker je Bog sodil sodbo vašo nad njim.
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.
In dvignil je en angelj, močán, kamen, velik kakor mlinski kamen in vrgel v morje, govoreč: Tako v napadu bode vržen Babilon, mesto véliko, in ne najde se več.
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.
In glas citralcev in godcev in piskačev in trobentačev naj se ne čuje več v tebi, in noben umeteljnik kake umeteljnosti naj se ne najde več v tebi, in mlina glas naj se v tebi več ne čuje,
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.
In svetilnice luč naj ne sveti več v tebi, in glas ženina in neveste naj se ne čuje več v tebi; ker trgovci tvoji bili so velikaši zemljé, ker v čarovniji tvoji tavali so vsi narodi.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
In v njem se je našla kri prerokov in svetnikov in vseh zaklanih na zemlji.
