< Revelation 18 >

1 And after these things, I saw another Angel, descending from heaven, having great authority. And the earth was illuminated by his glory.
μετα ταυτα ειδον αλλον αγγελον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου εχοντα εξουσιαν μεγαλην και η γη εφωτισθη εκ τησ δοξησ αυτου
2 And he cried out with strength, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great. And she has become the habitation of demons, and the keepsake of every unclean spirit, and the possession of every unclean and hateful flying thing.
και εκραξεν ισχυρα φωνη λεγων επεσεν βαβυλων η μεγαλη και εγενετο κατοικητηριον δαιμονων και φυλακη παντοσ πνευματοσ ακαθαρτου και φυλακη παντοσ ορνεου ακαθαρτου και μεμισημενου
3 For all the nations have imbibed the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have fornicated with her. And the merchants of the earth have become wealthy by the power of her pleasures.”
οτι εκ του οινου του θυμου τησ πορνειασ αυτησ πεπτωκασιν παντα τα εθνη και οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ μετ αυτησ επορνευσαν και οι εμποροι τησ γησ εκ τησ δυναμεωσ του στρηνουσ αυτησ επλουτησαν
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: “Go away from her, my people, so that you may not be participants in her pleasures, and so that you may not be recipients of her afflictions.
και ηκουσα αλλην φωνην εκ του ουρανου λεγουσαν εξελθε εξ αυτησ ο λαοσ μου ινα μη συγκοινωνησητε ταισ αμαρτιαισ αυτησ και εκ των πληγων αυτησ ινα μη λαβητε
5 For her sins have pierced through even to heaven, and the Lord has remembered her iniquities.
οτι εκολληθησαν αυτησ αι αμαρτιαι αχρι του ουρανου και εμνημονευσεν ο θεοσ τα αδικηματα αυτησ
6 Render to her, as she has also rendered to you. And repay her doubly, according to her works. Mix for her a double portion, in the cup with which she mixed.
αποδοτε αυτη ωσ και αυτη απεδωκεν και διπλωσατε αυτη διπλα κατα τα εργα αυτησ εν τω ποτηριω ω εκερασεν κερασατε αυτη διπλουν
7 As much as she has glorified herself and lived in pleasure, so much so give to her torment and grief. For in her heart, she has said: ‘I am enthroned as queen,’ and, ‘I am not a widow,’ and, ‘I shall not see sorrow.’
οσα εδοξασεν αυτην και εστρηνιασεν τοσουτον δοτε αυτη βασανισμον και πενθοσ οτι εν τη καρδια αυτησ λεγει οτι καθημαι βασιλισσα και χηρα ουκ ειμι και πενθοσ ου μη ιδω
8 For this reason, her afflictions shall arrive in one day: death and grief and famine. And she shall be burned with fire. For God, who will judge her, is strong.
δια τουτο εν μια ημερα ηξουσιν αι πληγαι αυτησ θανατοσ και πενθοσ και λιμοσ και εν πυρι κατακαυθησεται οτι ισχυροσ κυριοσ ο θεοσ ο κρινασ αυτην
9 And the kings of the earth, who have fornicated with her and lived in luxury, shall weep and mourn for themselves over her, when they see the smoke of her conflagration,
και κλαυσουσιν και κοψονται επ αυτην οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ οι μετ αυτησ πορνευσαντεσ και στρηνιασαντεσ οταν βλεπωσιν τον καπνον τησ πυρωσεωσ αυτησ
10 standing far away, out of fear of her torments, saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to Babylon, that great city, that strong city. For in one hour, your judgment has arrived.’
απο μακροθεν εστηκοτεσ δια τον φοβον του βασανισμου αυτησ λεγοντεσ ουαι ουαι η πολισ η μεγαλη βαβυλων η πολισ η ισχυρα οτι μια ωρα ηλθεν η κρισισ σου
11 And the businessmen of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, because no one will buy their merchandise anymore:
και οι εμποροι τησ γησ κλαυσουσιν και πενθησουσιν επ αυτη οτι τον γομον αυτων ουδεισ αγοραζει ουκετι
12 merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls, and of fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and of every citrus tree wood, and of every tool of ivory, and of every tool from precious stone and brass and iron and marble,
γομον χρυσου και αργυρου και λιθου τιμιου και μαργαριτου και βυσσινου και πορφυρου και σηρικου και κοκκινου και παν ξυλον θυινον και παν σκευοσ ελεφαντινον και παν σκευοσ εκ ξυλου τιμιωτατου και χαλκου και σιδηρου και μαρμαρου
13 and of cinnamon and black cardamom, and of fragrances and ointments and incense, and of wine and oil and fine flour and wheat, and of beasts of burden and sheep and horses and four-wheeled wagons, and of slaves and the souls of men.
και κιναμωμον και θυμιαματα και μυρον και λιβανον και οινον και ελαιον και σεμιδαλιν και σιτον και προβατα και κτηνη και ιππων και ραιδων και σωματων και ψυχασ ανθρωπων
14 And the fruits of the desires of your soul have gone away from you. And all things fat and splendid have perished from you. And they shall never find these things again.
και η οπωρα τησ επιθυμιασ τησ ψυχησ σου απηλθεν απο σου και παντα τα λιπαρα και τα λαμπρα απωλετο απο σου και ουκετι αυτα ου μη ευρησ
15 The merchants of these things, who were made wealthy, shall stand far away from her, out of fear of her torments, weeping and mourning,
οι εμποροι τουτων οι πλουτησαντεσ απ αυτησ απο μακροθεν στησονται δια τον φοβον του βασανισμου αυτησ κλαιοντεσ και πενθουντεσ
16 and saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to that great city, which was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and which was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls.’
και λεγοντεσ ουαι ουαι η πολισ η μεγαλη η περιβεβλημενη βυσσινον και πορφυρουν και κοκκινον και κεχρυσωμενη χρυσιω και λιθω τιμιω και μαργαριταισ
17 For such great wealth was brought to destitution in one hour. And every shipmaster, and all who navigate on lakes, and mariners, and those who work at sea, stood far away.
οτι μια ωρα ηρημωθη ο τοσουτοσ πλουτοσ και πασ κυβερνητησ και πασ ο επι τοπον πλεων και ναυται και οσοι την θαλασσαν εργαζονται απο μακροθεν εστησαν
18 And they cried out, seeing the place of her conflagration, saying: ‘What city resembles this great city?’
και εκραζον βλεποντεσ τον καπνον τησ πυρωσεωσ αυτησ λεγοντεσ τισ ομοια τη πολει τη μεγαλη
19 And they cast dust upon their heads. And they cried out, weeping and mourning, saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to that great city, by which all who had ships at sea were made rich from her treasures. For she has been made desolate in one hour.
και εβαλον χουν επι τασ κεφαλασ αυτων και εκραζον κλαιοντεσ και πενθουντεσ και λεγοντεσ ουαι ουαι η πολισ η μεγαλη εν η επλουτησαν παντεσ οι εχοντεσ τα πλοια εν τη θαλασση εκ τησ τιμιοτητοσ αυτησ οτι μια ωρα ηρημωθη
20 Exult over her, O heaven, O holy Apostles and Prophets. For God has judged your judgment upon her.’”
ευφραινου επ αυτη ουρανε και οι αγιοι και οι αποστολοι και οι προφηται οτι εκρινεν ο θεοσ το κριμα υμων εξ αυτησ
21 And a certain strong Angel took up a stone, similar to a great millstone, and he cast it into the sea, saying: “With this force shall Babylon, that great city, be cast down. And she shall never be found again.
και ηρεν εισ αγγελοσ ισχυροσ λιθον ωσ μυλον μεγαν και εβαλεν εισ την θαλασσαν λεγων ουτωσ ορμηματι βληθησεται βαβυλων η μεγαλη πολισ και ου μη ευρεθη ετι
22 And the sound of singers, and musicians, and flute and trumpet players shall not be heard in you again. And every artisan of every art shall not be found in you again. And the sound of the mill shall not be heard in you again.
και φωνη κιθαρωδων και μουσικων και αυλητων και σαλπιστων ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι και πασ τεχνιτησ πασησ τεχνησ ου μη ευρεθη εν σοι ετι και φωνη μυλου ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι
23 And the light of the lamp shall not shine in you again. And the voice of the groom and of the bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the leaders of the earth. For all the nations were led astray by your drugs.
και φωσ λυχνου ου μη φανη εν σοι ετι και φωνη νυμφιου και νυμφησ ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι οτι οι εμποροι σου ησαν οι μεγιστανεσ τησ γησ οτι εν τη φαρμακεια σου επλανηθησαν παντα τα εθνη
24 And in her was found the blood of the Prophets and of the Saints, and of all who were slain upon the earth.”
και εν αυτη αιματα προφητων και αγιων ευρεθη και παντων των εσφαγμενων επι τησ γησ
