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,

I doðe jedan od sedam anðela koji imahu sedam èaša, i govori sa mnom govoreæi mi: hodi da ti pokažem sud kurve velike, koja sjedi na vodama mnogima;

2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”

S kojom se kurvaše carevi zemaljski, i koji žive na zemlji opiše se vinom kurvarstva njezina.

3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

I uvede me duh u pusto mjesto; i vidjeh ženu gdje sjedi na zvijeri crvenoj koja bješe puna imena hulnijeh i imaše sedam glava i deset rogova.

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 the sexual immorality of the earth.

I žena bješe obuèena u porfiru i skerlet i nakiæena zlatom i kamenjem dragijem i biserom, i imaše èašu u ruci svojoj punu mrzosti i poganštine kurvarstva svojega;

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.”

I na èelu njezinu napisano ime: tajna, Vavilon veliki, mati kurvama i mrzostima zemaljskima.

6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

I vidjeh ženu pijanu od krvi svetijeh i od krvi svjedoka Isusovijeh; i zaèudih se èudom velikijem kad je vidjeh.

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.

I reèe mi anðeo: šta se èudiš? Ja æu ti kazati tajnu ove žene, i zvijeri što je nosi i ima sedam glava i deset rogova.

8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into 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, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)

Zvijer, koju si vidio bješe i nije, i iziæi æe iz bezdana i otiæi æe u propast; i udiviæe se koji žive na zemlji, kojima imena napisana nijesu u knjigu života od postanja svijeta, kad vide zvijer, koja bješe, i nije, i doæi æe opet. (Abyssos g12)

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

Ovdje je um, koji ima mudrost. Sedam glava, to su sedam gora na kojima žena sjedi.

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

I jesu sedam careva. Pet je njih palo, i jedan jest, a drugi još nije došao; i kad doðe za malo æe ostati.

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

I zvijer koja bješe i nije, i ona je osmi, i jest od sedmorice i u propast ide.

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.

I deset rogova, koje si vidio, to su deset careva, koji carstva još ne primiše, nego æe oblast kao carevi na jedno vrijeme primiti sa zvijeri.

13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

Ovi jednu volju imaju, i silu i oblast svoju daæe zvijeri.

14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

Ovi æe se pobiti s jagnjetom, i jagnje æe ih pobijediti, jer je gospodar nad gospodarima i car nad carevima; i koji su s njim, jesu pozvani i izbrani i vjerni.

15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

I reèe mi: vode, što si vidio, gdje sjedi kurva, ono su ljudi i narodi, i plemena i jezici.

16 The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

I deset rogova, što si vidio na zvijeri, oni æe omrznuti na kurvu, i opustošiæe je i ogoluzniti, i meso njezino poješæe i sažeæi æe je ognjem.

17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

Jer je Bog dao u srca njihova da uèine volju njegovu, i da uèine volju jednu, i da dadu carstvo svoje zvijeri, dok se svrše rijeèi Božije.

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

I žena, koju si vidio, jest grad veliki, koji ima carstvo nad carevima zemaljskima.
