Apocalipsis 17
Nueva Versión Internacional
La mujer montada en la bestia
17 Uno de los siete ángeles que tenían las siete copas se me acercó y me dijo: «Ven y te mostraré el castigo de la gran prostituta que está sentada sobre muchas aguas. 2 Con ella los reyes de la tierra cometieron adulterio y los habitantes de la tierra se embriagaron con el vino de su inmoralidad».
3 Luego el ángel me llevó en el Espíritu a un desierto. Allí vi a una mujer montada en una bestia escarlata. La bestia estaba cubierta de nombres blasfemos contra Dios; tenía siete cabezas y diez cuernos. 4 La mujer estaba vestida de color púrpura y escarlata; iba adornada con oro, piedras preciosas y perlas. Tenía en la mano una copa de oro llena de abominaciones y de la inmundicia de sus adulterios. 5 En la frente llevaba escrito un nombre misterioso:
la gran babilonia
madre de las prostitutas
y de las abominaciones de la tierra.
6 Vi que la mujer se había emborrachado con la sangre de los creyentes y de los que testificaron de Jesús.
Al verla, quedé sumamente asombrado. 7 Entonces el ángel me dijo: «¿Por qué te asombras? Yo te explicaré el misterio de esa mujer y de la bestia de siete cabezas y diez cuernos en la que va montada. 8 La bestia que has visto es la que antes era, pero ya no es; también está a punto de subir del abismo, pero va rumbo a la destrucción. Los habitantes de la tierra, cuyos nombres, desde la creación del mundo, no han sido escritos en el libro de la vida, se asombrarán al ver a la bestia, porque antes era, pero ya no es y, sin embargo, reaparecerá.
9 »En esto consisten[a] el entendimiento y la sabiduría. Las siete cabezas son siete colinas sobre las que está sentada esa mujer. También son siete reyes: 10 cinco han caído, uno está gobernando, el otro no ha llegado todavía; pero cuando llegue, es preciso que dure poco tiempo. 11 La bestia, que antes era, pero ya no es, es el octavo rey. Está incluido entre los siete y va rumbo a la destrucción.
12 »Los diez cuernos que has visto son diez reyes que todavía no han comenzado a reinar, pero que por una hora recibirán autoridad como reyes, junto con la bestia. 13 Estos tienen un mismo propósito que es poner su poder y autoridad a disposición de la bestia. 14 Le harán la guerra al Cordero, pero el Cordero los vencerá, porque es Señor de señores y Rey de reyes. Los que están con él son sus llamados, sus escogidos y sus fieles».
15 Además el ángel me dijo: «Las aguas que has visto, donde está sentada la prostituta, son pueblos, multitudes, naciones y lenguas. 16 Los diez cuernos y la bestia que has visto odiarán a la prostituta. Causarán su ruina y la dejarán desnuda; devorarán su cuerpo y la destruirán con fuego, 17 porque Dios ha puesto en su corazón que lleven a cabo su divino propósito. Por eso, y de común acuerdo, ellos entregarán a la bestia el poder que tienen de gobernar, hasta que se cumplan las palabras de Dios. 18 La mujer que has visto es aquella gran ciudad que tiene poder de gobernar sobre los reyes de la tierra».

Revelation 17
New International Version
Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast
17 One of the seven angels(A) who had the seven bowls(B) came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment(C) of the great prostitute,(D) who sits by many waters.(E) 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”(F)
3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit(G) into a wilderness.(H) There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet(I) beast that was covered with blasphemous names(J) and had seven heads and ten horns.(K) 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls.(L) She held a golden cup(M) in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.(N) 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:(O)
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people,(R) the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7 Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery(S) of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.(T) 8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss(U) and go to its destruction.(V) The inhabitants of the earth(W) whose names have not been written in the book of life(X) from the creation of the world will be astonished(Y) when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom.(Z) The seven heads(AA) are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not,(AB) is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
12 “The ten horns(AC) you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour(AD) will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.(AE) 14 They will wage war(AF) against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over(AG) them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings(AH)—and with him will be his called, chosen(AI) and faithful followers.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters(AJ) you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.(AK) 16 The beast and the ten horns(AL) you saw will hate the prostitute.(AM) They will bring her to ruin(AN) and leave her naked;(AO) they will eat her flesh(AP) and burn her with fire.(AQ) 17 For God has put it into their hearts(AR) to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority,(AS) until God’s words are fulfilled.(AT) 18 The woman you saw is the great city(AU) that rules over the kings of the earth.”
Pahayag 17
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
17 At dumating ang isa sa pitong anghel na may pitong mangkok, at nagsalita sa akin, na nagsasabi, Pumarito ka, ipakikita ko sa iyo ang hatol sa bantog na patutot na nakaupo sa maraming tubig;
2 Na siyang pinakiapiran ng mga hari sa lupa, at ang mga nananahan sa lupa ay nalasing sa alak ng kaniyang pakikiapid.
3 At ako'y kaniyang dinalang nasa Espiritu sa isang ilang: at nakita ko ang isang babae na nakasakay sa isang hayop na pula, na puno ng mga pangalang pamumusong, na may pitong ulo at sangpung sungay.
4 At nararamtan ang babae ng kulay-ube at ng pula, at nahihiyasan ng ginto at ng mga mahalagang bato at mga perlas, na sa kaniyang kamay ay may isang sarong ginto na puno ng mga kasuklamsuklam, at ng mga bagay na marurumi ng kaniyang pakikiapid,
5 At sa kaniyang noo ay nakasulat ang isang pangalan, HIWAGA, DAKILANG BABILONIA, INA NG MGA PATUTOT AT NG MGA KASUKLAMSUKLAM SA LUPA.
6 At nakita ko ang babae na lasing sa dugo ng mga banal, at sa dugo ng mga martir ni Jesus. At nang aking makita siya ay nanggilalas ako ng malaking panggigilalas.
7 At sinabi sa akin ng anghel, Bakit ka nanggilalas? Sasabihin ko sa iyo ang hiwaga ng babae, at ng hayop na sinasakyan niya, na may pitong ulo at sangpung sungay.
8 At ang hayop na nakita mo ay naging siya, at wala na; at malapit ng umahon sa kalaliman, at patungo sa kapahamakan. At silang mga nananahan sa lupa ay manggigilalas na ang kanilang pangalan ay hindi nakasulat sa aklat ng buhay mula nang itatag ang sanglibutan, pagkakita nila sa hayop, kung paano naging siya at wala na, at darating.
9 Narito ang pagiisip na may karunungan. Ang pitong ulo ay pitong bundok na kinauupuan ng babae:
10 At sila'y pitong hari; ang lima ay nanga buwal, ang isa'y narito, ang isa ay hindi pa dumarating; at pagdating niya ay dapat magtagal na sangdaling panahon.
11 At ang hayop na naging siya, at wala na, ay siya ring ikawalo at siya'y sa pito at siya'y patungo sa kapahamakan.
12 At ang sangpung sungay na iyong nakita ay sangpung hari, na hindi pa nagsisitanggap ng kaharian; datapuwa't magsisitanggap sila ng kapamahalaang paghahari na isang oras na kasama ng hayop.
13 Ang mga ito ay may isang kaisipan, at ibinibigay nila ang kanilang kapangyarihan at kapamahalaan sa hayop.
14 Makikipagbaka ang mga ito laban sa Cordero, at sila'y dadaigin ng Cordero, sapagka't siya'y Panginoon ng mga panginoon at Hari ng mga Hari; at ng mga kasama niya, na mga tinawag at mga pili at mga tapat ay nananaig din.
15 At sinabi niya sa akin, Ang tubig na iyong nakita, na kinauupuan ng patutot, ay mga bayan, at mga karamihan, at mga bansa, at mga wika.
16 At ang sangpung sungay na iyong nakita, at ang hayop, ay siyang nangapopoot sa patutot, at siya'y pababayaan at huhubaran, at kakanin ang kaniyang laman, at siya'y lubos na susupukin ng apoy.
17 Sapagka't inilagay ng Dios sa kanilang mga puso na gawin ang kaniyang kaisipan, at mangagkaisa ng kaisipan, at ibigay ang kanilang kaharian sa hayop, hanggang sa maganap ang mga salita ng Dios.
18 At ang babae na iyong nakita ay ang dakilang bayan, na naghahari sa mga hari sa lupa.
Revelation 17
King James Version
17 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
