< Revelation 17 >

1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯϩⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ
3 He carried me away in the Rukha into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥϫⲓⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲩⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲕⲟⲕⲕⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϭⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛϫⲏϭⲉ ϩⲓ ⲕⲟⲕⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲙⲉ ϩⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲅⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥϭⲓϫ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲃⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

6 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ
7 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕⲣ ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϥⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and is going to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, but is to come. (Abyssos g12)

9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ
15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲡⲉ
16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲟⲣⲛⲏ ⲛⲥⲉⲁⲁⲥ ⲛϫⲁⲓⲉ ⲉⲥⲕⲏ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲣⲱⲕϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
