启示录 18:1-17
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
大巴比伦倾倒
18 这些事以后,我看见有另一位掌大权柄的天使,从天上降下来,他的荣光照亮了大地。 2 他用强有力的声音呼喊说:
“倾倒了!大巴比伦倾倒了!
成了鬼魔的住处,
各样污灵的监狱,
一切污秽可憎之雀鸟的牢笼,
3 因为各国都喝她淫乱烈怒的酒醉了;
地上的君王与她行淫,
世上的商人因她奢华挥霍就发了财。”
4 我听见另一个声音从天上来,说:
“从那城出来吧,我的子民!
免得在她的罪上有分,
受她所受的灾难;
5 因为她的罪恶滔天,
神已经想起她的不义来。
6 她怎样待人,你们也要怎样待她;
照着她所作的,加倍报应她;
用她调酒的杯,加倍调给她。
7 她怎样炫耀自己,怎样奢华挥霍,
你们也要怎样给她痛苦悲哀。
因为她心里常常说:
‘我坐著作女王,
我不是寡妇,
决不会看见悲哀。’
8 因此,在一日之内她的灾难必然来到,
就是死亡、悲哀和饥荒;
她还要在火中被烧掉,
因为审判她的主 神是大有能力的。
9 “地上的众王,就是跟她一同行邪淫、骄奢无度的,看见焚烧她的烟的时候,就必为她痛哭捶胸。 10 他们因为害怕她所受的痛苦,就远远地站着,说:
‘有祸了!有祸了!这大城,
巴比伦,这坚固的城啊!
一时之间你的审判就来到了!’
11 “地上的商人也为她悲哀痛哭,因为没有人再买他们的货物: 12 就是金、银、宝石、珍珠;细麻布、紫色布、丝绸、朱红色布;各样香木,各样象牙制品,各样极贵重的木器、铜器、铁器、大理石制品; 13 肉桂、荳蔻、香料、香膏、乳香;酒、油、面粉、麦子;牛、羊、马、车、奴仆、人口。 14 你所贪恋的果子离开你了!一切珍馐美味、华丽的美物,都从你那里消失,再也找不到了! 15 贩卖这些货物,借着她发了财的商人,因为害怕她受的痛苦,就远远地站着,痛哭悲哀, 16 说:
‘有祸了!有祸了!这大城啊!
就是一向穿著细麻布、
紫色、朱红色的衣服,
佩戴着金子、
宝石和珍珠装饰的,
17 一时之间,这么大的财富竟荡然无存!’
“所有船长、旅客、水手,以及凡是靠海谋生的,都远远地站着。

Revelation 18:1-17
New International Version
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) 2 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)
3 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
4 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)
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,(M)
and God has remembered(N) her crimes.
6 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)
7 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)
8 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
9 “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:
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)
