Apocalipsis 18
Ang Biblia (1978)
18 (A)Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay nakita ko ang ibang anghel na nananaog mula sa langit, na may dakilang kapamahalaan; (B)at ang lupa ay naliwanagan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian.
2 At siya'y sumigaw ng malakas na tinig, na nagsasabi, (C)Naguho, naguho ang dakilang Babilonia, at naging (D)tahanan ng mga demonio, at kulungan ng bawa't espiritung karumaldumal, at kulungan ng (E)bawa't karumaldumal at kasuklamsuklam na mga ibon.
3 Sapagka't dahil sa alak ng galit ng kaniyang pakikiapid (F)ay nangaguho ang lahat ng mga bansa; at ang mga hari sa lupa ay nangakiapid sa kaniya, at (G)ang mga mangangalakal sa lupa ay nagsiyaman dahil sa kapangyarihan ng kaniyang kalayawan.
4 At narinig ko ang ibang tinig na mula sa langit, na nagsasabi, (H)Mangagsilabas kayo sa kaniya, bayan ko, upang huwag kayong mangaramay sa kaniyang mga kasalanan, at huwag kayong magsitanggap ng kaniyang mga salot:
5 Sapagka't ang kaniyang mga (I)kasalanan ay umabot hanggang sa langit at naalaala ng (J)Dios ang kaniyang mga katampalasanan.
6 Ibigay din ninyo ang (K)ayon sa ibinigay niya sa inyo, at ibayuhin ninyo ng ibayo sa kaniyang mga gawa: (L)sa sarong kaniyang pinaghaluan ay ipaghalo ninyo siya ng ibayo.
7 (M)Kung gaano ang pagkakapagmapuri, at pagkapamuhay na malayaw, ay gayon din naman ang ibigay ninyo sa kaniyang pahirap at pagluluksa: sapagka't sinasabi niya sa kaniyang puso, (N)Ako'y nakaupong reina, at hindi ako bao, at hindi ko makikita kailan man ang pagluluksa.
8 Kaya't darating sa isang araw ang mga salot sa kaniya, kamatayan at pagluluksa, at gutom; (O)at siya'y lubos na susunugin sa apoy; (P)sapagka't malakas ang Panginoong Dios na humatol sa kaniya.
9 At (Q)ang mga hari sa lupa, na nangakiapid at nangabuhay na malayaw na kasama niya, ay (R)mangagsisiiyak at mangagsisitaghoy tungkol sa kaniya, (S)pagkakita nila ng usok ng kaniyang pagkasunog,
10 At nangakatayo sa malayo dahil sa takot sa pahirap sa kaniya, na nangagsasabi, (T)Sa aba, sa aba ng dakilang bayang Babilonia, ng bayang matibay! sapagka't sa isang oras ay dumating ang hatol sa iyo.
11 At (U)ang mga mangangalakal sa lupa ay mangagsisiiyak at mangagluluksa tungkol sa kaniya, sapagka't wala nang bibili pa ng kaniyang kalakal;
12 Ng kalakal na ginto at pilak, at mahalagang bato, at mga perlas, at mainam na lino, at kayong kulay ube, at sutla, at kayong pula; at sarisaring mababangong kahoy, at bawa't kasangkapang garing, at bawa't kasangkapang mahalagang kahoy, at tanso, at bakal, at marmol;
13 At kanela, at especias, at incienso, at ungguento, at kamangyan, at alak, at langis, at mainam na harina, at trigo, at mga baka, at mga tupa; at kalakal na mga kabayo at mga karo, at mga alipin; at (V)mga kaluluwa ng mga tao.
14 At ang mga bungang pinipita mo ay nangapalayo sa iyo, at lahat ng mga bagay na maiinam at mariringal ay nangalipol sa iyo, at hindi na mangasusumpungan pa.
15 Ang mga mangangalakal ng mga bagay na ito, (W)na nangagsiyaman dahil sa kaniya, ay mangagsisitayo sa malayo dahil sa takot sa pahirap sa kaniya, na nagsisiiyak at nagsisipagluksa;
16 Na nangagsasabi, Sa aba, sa aba, niyaong dakilang bayan, siya na nararamtan ng mahalagang lino at ng kayong kulay ube, at pula, at napapalamutihan ng ginto at ng mahalagang bato at ng perlas!
17 Sapagka't sa loob ng isang oras ay nalipol ang gayong malaking kayamanan. At (X)bawa't pinunong daong, at bawa't naglalayag saan mang dako, at ang mga mangdaragat, at lahat ng nagsisipaghanap-buhay sa dagat, ay nangakatayo sa malayo,
18 At nangagsisisigaw (Y)pagkakita sa usok ng kaniyang pagkasunog, na nangagsasabi, (Z)Anong bayan ang katulad ng dakilang bayan?
19 At sila'y (AA)nangagbubuhos ng alabok sa kanilang mga ulo, at nagsisigawan, na nagiiyakan at nagtataghuyan, na nangagsasabi, Sa aba, sa aba, ang dakilang bayan, na siyang iniyaman ng lahat na may mga daong sa dagat dahil sa kaniyang mga kayamanan! sapagka't sa loob ng isang oras ay nalipol.
20 Magalak ka tungkol sa kaniya, Oh (AB)langit, at kayong mga banal, at kayong mga apostol, at kayong mga propeta; (AC)sapagka't inihatol ng Dios ang inyong hatol sa kaniya.
21 (AD)At dinampot ng isang anghel na malakas ang isang bato, na gaya ng isang malaking gilingang bato, at inihagis sa dagat, na sinasabi, (AE)Gayon sa isang kakilakilabot na pagkahulog, igigiba ang Babilonia, ang dakilang bayan, at hindi na masusumpungan pa.
22 At (AF)ang tinig ng mga manunugtog ng alpa, at ng mga (AG)musiko at ng mga manunugtog ng plauta, at ng mga manunugtog ng pakakak ay hindi na maririnig pa sa iyo; at wala nang manggagawa ng anomang gawa ay masusumpungan pa sa iyo; (AH)at ang ugong ng gilingan ay hindi na maririnig pa sa iyo;
23 At ang ilaw ng ilawan ay hindi na liliwanag pa sa iyo, (AI)at ang tinig ng kasintahang lalake at ng kasintahang babae ay hindi na maririnig pa sa iyo; sapagka't (AJ)ang mga mangangalakal mo ay naging mga pangulo sa lupa; (AK)sapagka't dinaya ng iyong panggagaway ang lahat ng mga bansa.
24 At nasumpungan (AL)sa kaniya ang dugo ng mga propeta, at ng mga banal, at ng lahat ng mga (AM)pinatay sa lupa.
Revelation 18
New American Standard Bible 1995
Babylon Is Fallen
18 After these things I saw another (A)angel (B)coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was (C)illumined with his glory. 2 And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “[a](D)Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She (E)has become a dwelling place of demons and a [b]prison of every (F)unclean spirit, and a [c]prison of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all the nations [d]have drunk of the (G)wine of the [e]passion of her immorality, and (H)the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the (I)merchants of the earth have become rich by the [f]wealth of her [g](J)sensuality.”
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “(K)Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5 for her sins have [h](L)piled up as high as heaven, and God has (M)remembered her iniquities. 6 (N)Pay her back even as she has paid, and [i]give back to her double according to her deeds; in the (O)cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. 7 (P)To the degree that she glorified herself and (Q)lived [j]sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘(R)I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’ 8 For this reason (S)in one day her plagues will come, [k]pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be (T)burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her (U)is strong.
Lament for Babylon
9 “And (V)the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality and (W)lived [l]sensuously with her, will (X)weep and lament over her when they (Y)see the smoke of her burning, 10 (Z)standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘(AA)Woe, woe, (AB)the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in (AC)one hour your judgment has come.’
11 “And the (AD)merchants of the earth (AE)weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more— 12 cargoes of (AF)gold and silver and precious [m]stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article made from very costly wood and [n]bronze and iron and marble, 13 and cinnamon and [o]spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and [p]slaves and [q](AG)human lives. 14 The fruit [r]you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find them. 15 The (AH)merchants of (AI)these things, who became rich from her, will (AJ)stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, 16 saying, ‘(AK)Woe, woe, (AL)the great city, she who (AM)was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and [s]adorned with gold and precious [t]stones and pearls; 17 for in (AN)one hour such great wealth has been laid (AO)waste!’ And (AP)every shipmaster and every [u]passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, (AQ)stood at a distance, 18 and were (AR)crying out as they (AS)saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘(AT)What city is like (AU)the great city?’ 19 And they threw (AV)dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘(AW)Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea (AX)became rich by her [v]wealth, for in (AY)one hour she has been laid (AZ)waste!’ 20 (BA)Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you [w]saints and (BB)apostles and prophets, because (BC)God has [x]pronounced judgment for you against her.”
21 Then [y]a (BD)strong angel (BE)took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, (BF)the great city, be thrown down with violence, and (BG)will not be found any longer. 22 And (BH)the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the (BI)sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer; 23 and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the (BJ)voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your (BK)merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived (BL)by your sorcery. 24 And in her was found the (BM)blood of prophets and of [z]saints and of (BN)all who have been slain on the earth.”

King James Version
18 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
