Revelation 17
1 One of the seven angels, who had [one of] the seven bowls, came to me. He said to me, “Come [with me], and I will show you how [God] will punish the very evil [city that is represented by] [SYM] a prostitute, a city in which there are many canals [of] water.
И дође један од седам анђела који имаху седам чаша, и говори са мном говорећи ми: Ходи да ти покажем суд курве велике, која седи на водама многима.
2 [It is as though] the rulers of earth have acted immorally [and idolatrously] with the people of that city [MET], and they [have persuaded people] who live on the earth to act immorally [and idolatrously] with them [MET], [just like a prostitute persuades men to drink] the [strong] wine [she gives them, resulting in their] becoming drunk [and] then committing sexual immorality. with her.”
С којом се курваше цареви земаљски, и који живе на земљи опише се вином курварства њена.
3 Then, as [God’s] Spirit [controlled me], the angel carried me away to a desolate area. There I saw a woman who was sitting on a red beast. The beast had names [written] all over itself. They were names that (insulted/spoke evil against) [God]. The beast had seven heads and ten horns.
И уведе ме дух у пусто место; и видех жену где седи на звери црвеној која беше пуна имена хулних и имаше седам глава и десет рогова.
4 The woman [that I saw] was wearing purple and red [clothes]; and gold, precious stones, and pearls were fastened to her [clothes and her body]. She held in her hand a golden cup. The cup was full of [a liquid that represents] [SYM] the detestable/disgusting, idolatrous things and filthy immoral things that she [does].
И жена беше обучена у порфиру и скерлет и накићена златом и камењем драгим и бисером, и имаше чашу у руци својој пуну мрзости и поганштине курварства свог;
5 This name, that has a hidden/secret [meaning], was written on her forehead: “[This woman is] Babylon, the very evil [city! She acts like] the mother of the prostitutes on the earth. She teaches them to [act] immorally and to worship idols.”
И на челу њеном написано име: Тајна, Вавилон велики, мати курвама и мрзостима земаљским.
6 I saw that the woman had become drunk as a result of drinking the blood of God’s people, those who had told others about Jesus. When I saw her, I was very bewildered/perplexed.
И видех жену пијану од крви светих и од крви сведока Исусових; и зачудих се чудом великим кад је видех.
7 The angel said to me, “Do not be bewildered [RHQ]! I will explain to you the hidden/secret meaning of the woman and of the beast on which she rides, the beast that has the seven heads and the ten horns.
И рече ми анђео: Што се чудиш? Ја ћу ти казати тајну ове жене, и звери што је носи и има седам глава и десет рогова.
8 The beast that you saw [lived] previously. Eventually God will destroy him, but now he is dead. He is [about to] come up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit). [When] the beast who had previously lived, and who then had died, reappears, the people who live on the earth will be amazed. [They are people whose] names were not in the book in which are written the names of people [who will] have eternal life. [The angels have been writing those names in a list] (from the beginning of the world/from the time when the world began). (Abyssos g12)
Звер коју си видео беше и није, и изићи ће из бездана и отићи ће у пропаст; и удивиће се који живе на земљи, којима имена написана нису у књигу живота од постања света, кад виде звер која беше, и није, и доћи ће опет. (Abyssos g12)
9 Those who [think] wisely [can understand] this: The seven heads [of the beast] on which the woman sits [symbolize] the seven hills [of the city that the woman represents]. They also [symbolize] seven rulers.
Овде је ум, који има мудрост. Седам глава, то су седам гора на којима жена седи.
10 Five [of those rulers] have died. One is [still alive]. The seventh [ruler] has not yet come. When he comes, he must remain on earth for [only] a short [time].
И јесу седам царева. Пет је њих пало, и један јесте, а други још није дошао; а кад дође за мало ће остати.
11 The beast that [lived] before and then was not [alive] will be the eighth [ruler]. He will be [evil like] the seven [rulers were, but God] will surely destroy him.
И звер која беше и није, и она је осми, и јесте од седморице и у пропаст иде.
12 The ten horns that you saw [represent] ten rulers who have not yet begun to rule. They, together with the beast, will be authorized to rule [people for only a short time, as if it were] [MET] for one hour.
И десет рогова, које си видео, то су десет царева, који царства још не примише, него ће област као цареви на једно време примити са звери.
13 Those [rulers] will all agree to do the same thing. [As a result] they will give to the beast their power [to rule people] as well as their authority [to rule people] [DOU].
Ови једну вољу имају, и силу и област своју даће звери.
14 The rulers and the beast will fight against [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb. He will defeat them, because he is Lord [who rules over all other] lords and the King [who rules over all other] kings. Those [people] who are with [and helping him] are the ones whom [God] has chosen, and who keep [serving him] faithfully.”
Ови ће се побити с Јагњетом и Јагње ће их победити, јер је Господар над господарима и Цар над царевима; и који су с Њим, јесу позвани и изабрани и верни.
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters that you saw in the city where the prostitute sits represent people-[groups], multitudes [of people], nations, and [speakers of many languages] [MTY].
И рече ми: Воде, што си видео, где седи курва, оно су људи и народи, и племена и језици.
16 The ten horns that you saw [represent rulers] [SYM]. They and the beast will hate [the people in the city] [MTY] that the prostitute [represents]. As a result, they will [take away everything that is in the city, as if] they were [MET] leaving it naked. They will [destroy it as if] [MET] devouring flesh/meat, and they will burn it with fire.
И десет рогова, што си видео на звери, они ће омрзнути на курву, и опустошиће је и оголузнити, и месо њено појешће и сажећи ће је огњем.
17 They will do that because God has caused them to decide to do what he wants them to do. As a result, they will let the beast have their power to rule until what God has said is fulfilled {until [they] fulfill what God has said} [MTY].
Јер је Бог дао у срца њихова да учине вољу Његову, и да учине вољу једну, и да даду царство своје звери, док се сврше речи Божије.
18 The prostitute that you saw [represents] the very evil city [whose leaders] [MTY] rule over the kings of the earth.”
И жена, коју си видео, јесте град велики, који има царство над царствима земаљским.
