Разрушение Вавилона

18 После этого я увидел, как с неба спускается другой Ангел, облечённый великой властью, и земля осветилась его славой. И закричал он могучим голосом:

«Пал он!
    Вавилон, великая блудница, пал!
Стала она[a] обиталищем бесов,
    пристанищем всех нечистых духов,
    прибежищем всяких нечистых и отвратительных птиц,
потому что все народы
    испили вино её блуда и вино Божьей ярости.
Земные цари развратничали с ней,
    и торговцы всего мира разбогатели
    благодаря её великой роскоши».

И тут я услышал, как другой голос с небес сказал:

«Выйди из этого города, народ Мой,
    чтобы не соучаствовать в её грехах
и не пострадать от мора,
    посланного на неё,
потому что грехи её вздымаются горой до самого неба,
    и Бог помнит все её грехи.
Отплатите ей за то,
    как она обращалась с другими,
    отплатите вдвойне за то, что она сделала.
Приготовьте для неё вино вдвое крепче,
    чем то, которое она приготовила для других.
Сколько она принесла себе роскоши и славы,
    столько и ей принесите горя и мучений,
    потому что она продолжает говорить себе:
„Я восседаю на престоле подобно царице.
    Я не вдова и никогда не буду печалиться”.
И потому в один день её постигнут всякие бедствия:
    смерть, горькие рыдания и великий голод.
И сгорит она на огне,
    потому что могуществен Господь Бог, осудивший её».

Цари земные, те, кто предавался с ней разврату и делил с ней роскошь, будут горевать по ней, видя дым от огня, на котором она сгорает. 10 И, стоя поодаль от неё, из страха перед её муками они скажут:

«Горе! Горе! О, великий город!
    О, могучий город Вавилон!
За один час постигло тебя наказание!»

11 Тогда торговцы во всем мире будут плакать и горевать по ней, так как никто не покупает больше у них товаров: 12 золото, серебро, драгоценные камни и жемчуг, полотно, багряницы, шёлк и красные ткани, лимонное дерево и всякие изделия из слоновой кости, драгоценного дерева, меди, железа и мрамора, 13 корицу, пряности, ароматические курения, благовония, мирра, вино и масло, лучшую муку и пшеницу, крупный скот и овец, лошадей и повозки, тела и души людские.

14 «О великий Вавилон!
    Всё то драгоценное,
    чем ты стремилась владеть, покинуло тебя.
Вся роскошь и великолепие утрачены,
    и ты никогда не обретёшь их вновь».

15 Торговцы, продававшие ей всё это и разбогатевшие за её счет, будут держаться в стороне из страха перед её муками. Они будут плакать и горевать о ней, 16 восклицая:

«Горе! Горе великому городу!
    Она была облачена в полотно,
    багряницу и красные одежды.
Она сверкала золотом,
    драгоценными камнями и жемчугами.
17 И всё это богатство уничтожено всего за один час!»

И все кормчие, и все, кто плавают на кораблях, и все моряки, и все, кто живут за счёт моря, держались в отдалении, 18 а когда увидели, как дым поднимается от огня, на котором она сгорает, то закричали: «Разве есть город, равный этому?» 19 Они посыпали головы пеплом[b] и плакали, и горевали, восклицая:

«Горе! Горе великому городу!
    Все те, у кого были морские корабли,
обогатились благодаря её богатству,
    но она была уничтожена за один час!
20 Ликуйте же, небеса!
    Ликуйте, апостолы, пророки
и все святые люди Божьи,
    потому что Бог наказал её за всё то,
что она вам сделала!»

21 И тогда могучий Ангел поднял камень размером с мельничный жёрнов, бросил его в море и сказал:

«Вот так и великий город Вавилон
    будет низвергнут и исчезнет навсегда!
22 Никогда больше не будут слышны здесь
    звуки играющих на лирах и поющих,
    играющих на свирелях и трубящих в трубы!
Никогда не будет здесь больше никаких ремёсел,
    и никогда не раздастся шум жерновов.
23 Никогда не засветится светильник,
    никогда не будут больше слышны
    голоса женихов и невест.
Твои торговцы были великими этого мира.
    Все народы были обмануты твоим колдовством.
24 Она повинна в крови пророков,
    Божьих святых и всех тех,
    кто был убит на земле!»

Lament Over Fallen Babylon

18 After this I saw another angel(A) coming down from heaven.(B) He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.(C) With a mighty voice he shouted:

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a](D)
    She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,(E)
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.(F)
For all the nations have drunk
    the maddening wine of her adulteries.(G)
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,(H)
    and the merchants of the earth grew rich(I) from her excessive luxuries.”(J)

Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment

Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

“‘Come out of her, my people,’[b](K)
    so that you will not share in her sins,
    so that you will not receive any of her plagues;(L)
for her sins are piled up to heaven,(M)
    and God has remembered(N) her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given;
    pay her back(O) double(P) for what she has done.
    Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(Q)
Give her as much torment and grief
    as the glory and luxury she gave herself.(R)
In her heart she boasts,
    ‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[c]
    I will never mourn.’(S)
Therefore in one day(T) her plagues will overtake her:
    death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,(U)
    for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

Threefold Woe Over Babylon’s Fall

“When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her(V) and shared her luxury(W) see the smoke of her burning,(X) they will weep and mourn over her.(Y) 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off(Z) and cry:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,(AA)
    you mighty city of Babylon!
In one hour(AB) your doom has come!’

11 “The merchants(AC) of the earth will weep and mourn(AD) over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore(AE) 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;(AF) 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.(AG)

14 “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her(AH) will stand far off,(AI) terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn(AJ) 16 and cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,(AK)
    dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
    and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!(AL)
17 In one hour(AM) such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’(AN)

“Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea,(AO) will stand far off.(AP) 18 When they see the smoke of her burning,(AQ) they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city(AR)?’(AS) 19 They will throw dust on their heads,(AT) and with weeping and mourning(AU) cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,(AV)
    where all who had ships on the sea
    became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’(AW)

20 “Rejoice over her, you heavens!(AX)
    Rejoice, you people of God!
    Rejoice, apostles and prophets!
For God has judged her
    with the judgment she imposed on you.”(AY)

The Finality of Babylon’s Doom

21 Then a mighty angel(AZ) picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea,(BA) and said:

“With such violence
    the great city(BB) of Babylon will be thrown down,
    never to be found again.
22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters,
    will never be heard in you again.(BC)
No worker of any trade
    will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone
    will never be heard in you again.(BD)
23 The light of a lamp
    will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
    will never be heard in you again.(BE)
Your merchants were the world’s important people.(BF)
    By your magic spell(BG) all the nations were led astray.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people,(BH)
    of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”(BI)

18 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
