Revelation 18
1 After this, [in the vision] I saw another angel, who had great authority, coming down from heaven. The earth became bright [because] he was shining so intensely/brightly.
И после овог видех другог анђела где силази са неба, који имаше област велику; и земља се засветли од славе његове.
2 He shouted with a very loud voice, “[God is about to] completely destroy [DOU] all the very [evil] cities (OR, the very evil [city]) [that] Babylon [represents]. As a result, all [kinds of] evil spirits [DOU] will live there, and all [kinds of] foul and detestable [DOU] birds will live there.
И повика јаким гласом говорећи: Паде, паде Вавилон велики, и поста стан ђаволима, и тамница сваком духу нечистом, и тамница свих птица нечистих и мрских; јер отровним вином курварства свог напоји све народе;
3 [God will destroy those cities] because [their rulers have persuaded] the people of [MTY] all nations to act very immorally [and idolatrously with the people of] [MET] [those cities, just like] a prostitute persuades men to drink [strong] wine and then commit fornication with her. The rulers of the earth have also acted immorally [and idolatrously] with the people of [MTY] those cities. The merchants of the earth have become rich [because the people of those cities] strongly desired [and bought from the merchants] many (luxuries/expensive things).”
И цареви земаљски с њом се курваше, и трговци земаљски обогатише се од богатства сласти њене.
4 I heard [Jesus] speak from heaven. He said, “My people, flee from [those cities], in order that you do not sin as the people [of those cities do. If you sin as they do], I will punish you as I will punish them.
И чух глас други с неба који говори: Изиђите из ње, народе мој, да се не помешате у грехе њене, и да вам не науде зла њена.
5 [It is as though] their sins have been piled {have piled} up to heaven, and God remembers them [DOU], [so now he will punish them] [MTY].”
Јер греси њени допреше тја до неба, и Бог се опомену неправде њене.
6 [To the angels whom God assigned to punish those cities, Jesus said], “Pay back/Punish the people of those cities to the same extent that they harmed [other people]. Cause them to suffer twice as much [as they caused other people to suffer] [DOU, MET].
Платите јој као што и она плати вама, и подајте јој двојином онолико по делима њеним: којом чашом захвати вама захватајте јој по два пут онолико.
7 To the same extent that they have boasted about themselves and done the things that they wanted to do, to that extent torment them and cause them to grieve. [Do that because] in their minds they think, ‘We rule as queens! We are not widows, and we will never mourn [as widows do]’!
Колико се прослави и наслади толико јој подајте мука и жалости; јер говори у срцу свом: Седим као царица, и нисам удовица, и жалости нећу видети.
8 So in one day terrible calamities/troubles will come upon them. [The people in those cities] will die, others will mourn for them, people will be hungry [because there will be no food], and [their cities] will be burned up. The Lord God is able to punish those cities [like that], because he is very powerful.”
Зато ће у један дан доћи зла њена: смрт и плач и глад, и сажећи ће се огњем; јер је јак Господ Бог који јој суди.
9 “The kings of the earth who have acted immorally [with people of those cities] and have lived with the people of those cities, doing just what they wanted to do, will weep and mourn [DOU] for them when they see the smoke of the fire that is burning those cities.
И заплакаће и зајаукати за њом цареви земаљски који се с њом курваше и беснише, кад виде дим горења њеног,
10 They will stand far away [from those cities], because they will be afraid [that they will suffer just like the people of those cities] are suffering. They will say, ‘Terrible things will happen to the awesome and mighty cities [represented by] Babylon! [God] will punish them suddenly and swiftly [MTY]!’
Издалека стојећи од страха мука њених и говорећи: Јаох! Јаох! Граде велики Вавилоне, граде тврди, јер у један час дође суд твој!
11 The merchants of the earth will weep and will mourn [DOU] [for those cities], because no one will ever again buy the things that they have [to sell to the people in those cities].
И трговци земаљски заплакаће и зајаукати за њом, што њихове товаре нико више не купује;
12 [They sell ornaments made] of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls. They sell [expensive cloth made of] fine linen and silk, [expensive cloth that is dyed] purple and crimson. They sell all kinds of [rare] wood, all kinds of items [made of] ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble. They sell cinnamon, spice, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, and grain. They sell cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots. They even sell human beings [SYN, DOU] to become slaves.
Товара злата и сребра и камења драгог и бисера и узвода и порфире и свиле и скерлета, и сваког мирисног дрвета, и свакојаких судова од филдиша, и свакојаких судова од најскупљег дрвета, бронзе и гвожђа и мермера,
И цимета и тамјана и мира и ливана, и вина и уља, и нишестета и пшенице, и говеда и оваца, и коња и кола, и телеса и душа човечијих.
14 [The merchants will say], ‘The good things you people longed to have are gone! All your luxurious and splendid [DOU] [possessions have vanished!]! They will be gone forever/You will never have them again [LIT]!’
И воћа жеља душе твоје отидоше од тебе, и све што је масно и добро отиде од тебе, и више га нећеш наћи.
15 The merchants [who sold] these things and who had become rich by [supplying them] for those [cities] will stand far away, because they will be afraid [that they will suffer just like] the people [of those cities] are suffering. They will weep and mourn [DOU],
Трговци који се овим товарима обогатише од ње, стаће издалека од страха мучења њеног, плачући и јаучући,
16 and they will say, ‘Terrible things [DOU] have happened to the awesome/great [MET] cities! [They were like queens] who dressed themselves in [clothes made of] [MTY] fine linen [cloth] and expensive cloth dyed purple and crimson, and who were adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls.
И говорећи: Јаох! Јаох! Граде велики, обучени у свилу и порфиру и скерлет, и накићени златом и камењем драгим и бисером;
17 But suddenly and swiftly [MTY] [God] has destroyed these expensive things.’ Every ship captain, all people who travel by ship, all (sailors/those who work on ships), and all others who earn their living [by traveling on] the ocean will stand far away [from those cities].
Јер у један час погибе толико богатство! И сви господари од лађи, и сав народ у лађама, и лађари, и који год раде на мору, стадоше издалека,
18 When they see the smoke of the fire that is burning those cities, they will shout, ‘No [other] cities have ever been so awesome!’ [RHQ]
И викаху, видевши дим горења њеног, и говораху: Ко је био као овај град велики?
19 They will throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad], and they will shout, weep, and mourn [DOU]. They will say, ‘Terrible things have happened to the awesome/great cities, the cities that made all people who own ships [that sail] on the ocean become rich by [carrying] their costly (things for them to sell/merchandise)! [God] has suddenly and swiftly destroyed [MTY] those cities!’”
И бацише прах на главе своје, и повикаше плачући и ридајући, говорећи: Јаох! Јаох! Граде велики, у коме се обогатише сви који имају лађе на мору од богатства његовог, јер у један час опусте!
20 Then someone spoke from heaven saying, “All you who live in heaven, rejoice over what has happened to [the cities represented by] Babylon! You who are God’s people, including you apostles, you (prophets/who speak messages that come directly from God), rejoice, because God has justly punished the people of those cities because they acted in an evil way toward you!”
Весели се над њим небо, и свети апостоли и пророци, јер Бог покаја суд ваш на њему.
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large stone for grinding grain, and threw it into the ocean. Then he said, “O you people in [APO] the awesome/great cities [represented by] Babylon, your cities will be destroyed so that they will disappear just like that stone disappeared in the ocean! Your cities will be gone forever [LIT]!
И узе један анђео јак камен велики, као камен воденични, и баци у море говорећи: Тако ће са хуком бити бачен Вавилон, град велики, и неће се више наћи;
22 In your cities there will never again be [anyone] playing harps, singing, playing flutes, and blowing trumpets. There will no longer be any (skilled workers/craftsmen) making things. There will never again be people grinding [grain at] [MTY] the mills.
И глас гудача и певача и свирача и трубача неће се више чути у теби; и никакав мајстор ни од каквог заната неће се више наћи у теби, и хука камења воденичног неће се чути у теби;
23 No lamplight will ever again shine. There will never again be the [happy] voices of a bridegroom and his bride. [God will destroy your cities] because your merchants were the most [deceitful] men in the world. You persuaded them to deceive [people of] [MTY] all nations.
И видело жишка неће се више светлити у теби, и глас женика и невесте неће више бити чувен у теби; јер трговци твоји беху бољари земаљски, јер твојим чарањем преварени бише сви народи.
24 You are also [responsible for killing] [MTY] [the] prophets and [others] of God’s people. Indeed, you are the ones who are guilty for the deaths of all those who have been {whom [others] have} killed on the earth!”
И у њему се нађе крв пророчка и светих, и свих који су побијени на земљи.
