Revelation 17

1 Then one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls came and spoke to me. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the doom of the great Harlot who sits upon many waters.

Ary tonga ny anjely anankiray tamin’ izy fito izay nanana ny lovia fito, dia niteny tamiko nanao hoe: Avia atỳ; dia hasehoko anao ny fitsarana ilay vehivavy janga lehibe, izay mipetraka eny ambonin’ ny rano maro,

2 The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."

dia ilay nijangajangan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny tany, sady natao leon’ ny divain’ ny fijangajangany ny mponina tamin’ ny tany.

3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into a desert, and there I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored Wild Beast which was covered with names of blasphemy and had seven heads and ten horns.

Dia nentiny tamin’ ny Fanahy ho any an’ efitra aho ary nahita vehivavy nitaingina bibi-dia mivolon-jaky, feno anarana fitenenan-dratsy sady nanan-doha fito sy tandroka folo.

4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was brilliantly attired with gold and jewels and pearls. She held in her hand a cup of gold, full of abominations, and she gave filthy indications of her fornication.

Ary ravehivavy dia nitafy lamba volomparasy sy jaky ary niravaka volamena sy vato soa ary perila sady nitana kapoaka volamena teny an-tànany, feno zava-betaveta, dia ny zava-maloto momba ny fijangajangany;

5 And on her forehead was a name written: "I am a symbol of great Babylon, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth."

ary nisy anarana voasoratra teo amin’ ny handriny nanao hoe: ZAVA-MIAFINA, BABYLONA LEHIBE, RENIN’ NY MPIJANGAJANGA SY NY ZAVA-BETAVETA, AMIN’ NY TANY.

6 And I saw the woman drinking herself drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her I was filled with utter astonishment.

Ary hitako fa, indro, ravehivavy dia leon’ ny ran ny olona masìna sy ny ran’ ny martioran’ i Jesosy; koa raha nahita azy aho, dia gaga indrindra.

7 Then the angel said to me, "Why are you so astonished? I will explain to you the secret meaning of the woman and of the seven-headed, ten-horned Wild Beast which carries her.

Ary hoy ilay anjely tamiko: Nahoana no gaga ianao? Izaho hilaza aminao ny zava-miafina ny amin-dravehivavy sy ny bibi-dia mitondra azy, izay manan-doha fito sy tandroka folo.

8 "The Wild Beast which you have seen was, and is not, and yet is destined to re-ascend, before long, out of the bottomless pit and go his way into perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth will be filled with amazement--all whose names are not in the Book of Life, having been recorded there ever since the creation of the world--when they see the Wild Beast: because he was, and is not, and yet is to come. (Abyssos g12)

Ny bibi-dia, ilay efa hitanao, dia teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, nefa efa hiakatra avy amin’ ny lavaka tsy hita noanoa izy ka ho lasa ho amin’ ny fandringanana; ary ny monina ambonin’ ny tany, dia izay tsy voasoratra eo amin’ ny bokin’ ny fiainana hatramin’ ny nanorenana izao tontolo izao, dia ho gaga raha mijery ilay bibi-dia, izay teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, nefa mbola ho avy indray. (Abyssos g12)

9 Here is scope for the exercise of a mind that has wisdom! The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits.

Indro ny hevitra iray misy fahendrena: Ny loha fito dia tendrombohitra fito, izay ipetrahan-dravehivavy.

10 And they are seven kings: five of them have fallen, and the one is still reigning. The seventh has not yet come, but when he comes he must continue for a short time.

Ary mpanjaka fito ireo; efa lavo ny dimy, ka ny iray mbola eo ihany, ary ny iray koa mbola tsy tonga; ary rehefa tonga izy, dia tsy maintsy mitoetra kelikely.

11 And the Wild Beast which once existed but does not now exist--he is an eighth king and yet is one of the seven and he goes his way into perdition.

Ary ny bibi-dia izay teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, dia izy no naman’ ny fito mahavalo ary ka lasa ho amin’ ny fandringanana.

12 "And the ten horns which you have seen are ten kings who have not yet come to the throne, but for a single hour they are to receive authority as kings along with the Wild Beast.

Ary ny tandroka folo, izay hitanao, dia mpanjaka folo izay tsy mbola nahazo fanjakana; fa mandray fahefana ho toa mpanjaka iray ora miaraka amin’ ny bibi-dia izy.

13 They have one common policy, and they are to give their power and authority to the Wild Beast.

Ireo dia miray saina ka manome ny heriny sy ny fahefany ho an’ ilay bibi-dia.

14 They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those who accompany Him--called, as they are, and chosen, and faithful--shall share in the victory."

Ireo dia hiady amin’ ny Zanak’ ondry, ary ny Zanak’ ondry haharesy azy, satria Tompon’ ny tompo sy Mpanjakan’ ny mpanjaka Izy, ary haharesy azy koa izay momba Azy, dia olona voantso sy voafidy ary mahatoky.

15 He also said to me, "The waters which you have seen, on which the Harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes, nations and languages.

Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ny rano ela hitanao, izay ipetrahan’ ilay vehivavy janga, dia olona sy vahoaka betsaka sy firenena maro ary samy hafa fiteny.

16 And the ten horns that you have seen--and the Wild Beast--these will hate the Harlot, and they will cause her to be laid waste and will strip her bare. They will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

Ary ny tandroka folo sy ny bibi-dia izay efa hitanao, dia ireo no hankahala ilay vehivavy janga ka hahatsinontsinona azy sy hampitanjaka ary sy hihinana ny nofony ary handevona ny tenany amin’ ny afo.

17 For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose, and to carry out a common purpose and to give their kingdom to the Wild Beast until God's words have come to pass.

Fa Andriamanitra efa nanome fo ireo hanatanteraka ny heviny sy hifanara-tsaina ary hanome ny fanjakany ho an’ ilay bibi-dia mandra-pahatanteraky ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.

18 And the woman whom you have seen is the great city which has kingly power over the kings of the earth."

Ary ravehivavy, ilay hitanao, dia tanàna lehibe, izay manjaka amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny tany.
