prakāśitaṁ 18
1 tadanantaraṁ svargād avarohan apara eko dūto mayā dṛṣṭaḥ sa mahāparākramaviśiṣṭastasya tejasā ca pṛthivī dīptā|
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 sa balavatā svareṇa vācamimām aghoṣayat patitā patitā mahābābil, sā bhūtānāṁ vasatiḥ sarvveṣām aśucyātmanāṁ kārā sarvveṣām aśucīnāṁ ghṛṇyānāñca pakṣiṇāṁ piñjaraścābhavat|
He shouted with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean and detestable beast.
3 yataḥ sarvvajātīyāstasyā vyabhicārajātāṁ kopamadirāṁ pītavantaḥ pṛthivyā rājānaśca tayā saha vyabhicāraṁ kṛtavantaḥ pṛthivyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ sukhabhogabāhulyād dhanāḍhyatāṁ gatavantaḥ|
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."
4 tataḥ paraṁ svargāt mayāpara eṣa ravaḥ śrutaḥ, he mama prajāḥ, yūyaṁ yat tasyāḥ pāpānām aṁśino na bhavata tasyā daṇḍaiśca daṇḍayuktā na bhavata tadarthaṁ tato nirgacchata|
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 yatastasyāḥ pāpāni gaganasparśānyabhavan tasyā adharmmakriyāśceśvareṇa saṁsmṛtāḥ|
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 parān prati tayā yadvad vyavahṛtaṁ tadvat tāṁ prati vyavaharata, tasyāḥ karmmaṇāṁ dviguṇaphalāni tasyai datta, yasmin kaṁse sā parān madyam apāyayat tameva tasyāḥ pānārthaṁ dviguṇamadyena pūrayata|
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 tayā yātmaślāghā yaśca sukhabhogaḥ kṛtastayo rdviguṇau yātanāśokau tasyai datta, yataḥ sā svakīyāntaḥkaraṇe vadati, rājñīvad upaviṣṭāhaṁ nānāthā na ca śokavit|
However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'
8 tasmād divasa ekasmin mārīdurbhikṣaśocanaiḥ, sā samāploṣyate nārī dhyakṣyate vahninā ca sā; yad vicārādhipastasyā balavān prabhurīśvaraḥ,
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 vyabhicārastayā sārddhaṁ sukhabhogaśca yaiḥ kṛtaḥ, te sarvva eva rājānastaddāhadhūmadarśanāt, prarodiṣyanti vakṣāṁsi cāhaniṣyanti bāhubhiḥ|
The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 tasyāstai ryātanābhīte rdūre sthitvedamucyate, hā hā bābil mahāsthāna hā prabhāvānvite puri, ekasmin āgatā daṇḍe vicārājñā tvadīyakā|
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city. For your judgment has come in one hour.'
11 medinyā vaṇijaśca tasyāḥ kṛte rudanti śocanti ca yatasteṣāṁ paṇyadravyāṇi kenāpi na krīyante|
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;
12 phalataḥ suvarṇaraupyamaṇimuktāḥ sūkṣmavastrāṇi kṛṣṇalohitavāsāṁsi paṭṭavastrāṇi sindūravarṇavāsāṁsi candanādikāṣṭhāni gajadantena mahārghakāṣṭhena pittalalauhābhyāṁ marmmaraprastareṇa vā nirmmitāni sarvvavidhapātrāṇi
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of bronze, and iron, and marble;
13 tvagelā dhūpaḥ sugandhidravyaṁ gandharaso drākṣārasastailaṁ śasyacūrṇaṁ godhūmo gāvo meṣā aśvā rathā dāseyā manuṣyaprāṇāścaitāni paṇyadravyāṇi kenāpi na krīyante|
and cinnamon, spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves and human lives.
14 tava mano'bhilāṣasya phalānāṁ samayo gataḥ, tvatto dūrīkṛtaṁ yadyat śobhanaṁ bhūṣaṇaṁ tava, kadācana taduddeśo na puna rlapsyate tvayā|
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were luxury and splendor have perished from you, and you will never ever find them again.
15 tadvikretāro ye vaṇijastayā dhanino jātāste tasyā yātanāyā bhayād dūre tiṣṭhanato rodiṣyanti śocantaścedaṁ gadiṣyanti
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
16 hā hā mahāpuri, tvaṁ sūkṣmavastraiḥ kṛṣṇalohitavastraiḥ sindūravarṇavāsobhiścācchāditā svarṇamaṇimuktābhiralaṅkṛtā cāsīḥ,
saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls.
17 kintvekasmin daṇḍe sā mahāsampad luptā| aparaṁ potānāṁ karṇadhārāḥ samūhalokā nāvikāḥ samudravyavasāyinaśca sarvve
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 dūre tiṣṭhantastasyā dāhasya dhūmaṁ nirīkṣamāṇā uccaiḥsvareṇa vadanti tasyā mahānagaryyāḥ kiṁ tulyaṁ?
and exclaimed as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'
19 aparaṁ svaśiraḥsu mṛttikāṁ nikṣipya te rudantaḥ śocantaścoccaiḥsvareṇedaṁ vadanti hā hā yasyā mahāpuryyā bāhulyadhanakāraṇāt, sampattiḥ sañcitā sarvvaiḥ sāmudrapotanāyakaiḥ, ekasminneva daṇḍe sā sampūrṇocchinnatāṁ gatā|
They cast dust on their heads, and shouting, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth.' For in one hour is she made desolate.
20 he svargavāsinaḥ sarvve pavitrāḥ preritāśca he| he bhāvivādino yūyaṁ kṛte tasyāḥ praharṣata| yuṣmākaṁ yat tayā sārddhaṁ yo vivādaḥ purābhavat| daṇḍaṁ samucitaṁ tasya tasyai vyataradīśvaraḥ||
"Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."
21 anantaram eko balavān dūto bṛhatpeṣaṇīprastaratulyaṁ pāṣāṇamekaṁ gṛhītvā samudre nikṣipya kathitavān, īdṛgbalaprakāśena bābil mahānagarī nipātayiṣyate tatastasyā uddeśaḥ puna rna lapsyate|
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 vallakīvādināṁ śabdaṁ puna rna śroṣyate tvayi| gāthākānāñca śabdo vā vaṁśītūryyādivādināṁ| śilpakarmmakaraḥ ko 'pi puna rna drakṣyate tvayi| peṣaṇīprastaradhvānaḥ puna rna śroṣyate tvayi|
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 dīpasyāpi prabhā tadvat puna rna drakṣyate tvayi| na kanyāvarayoḥ śabdaḥ punaḥ saṁśroṣyate tvayi| yasmānmukhyāḥ pṛthivyā ye vaṇijaste'bhavan tava| yasmācca jātayaḥ sarvvā mohitāstava māyayā|
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 bhāvivādipavitrāṇāṁ yāvantaśca hatā bhuvi| sarvveṣāṁ śoṇitaṁ teṣāṁ prāptaṁ sarvvaṁ tavāntare||
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
