Apocalypse 18:19-21
La Bible du Semeur
19 Ils se jetaient de la poussière sur la tête[a], ils criaient, pleuraient et se lamentaient :
Malheur ! Malheur ! La grande ville, dont la prospérité avait enrichi tous les armateurs des mers ! En une heure, elle a été réduite à néant !
20 Réjouis-toi de sa ruine, ciel ! Et vous, membres du peuple saint, apôtres et prophètes, réjouissez-vous ! Car en la jugeant, Dieu vous a fait justice.
Septième parole : plus de trace de la grande cité mondaine
21 Alors un ange puissant prit une pierre semblable à une grosse meule et la jeta dans la mer en disant :
Ainsi, avec la même violence, sera précipitée Babylone, la grande ville, et on ne la retrouvera plus[b] !

Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
19 于是他们把灰尘撒在头上，哭泣悲哀地喊着说：
“祸哉，祸哉，这大城！
凡有船在海中的，
都因她的珍宝成了富足。
她在一时之间就成为荒芜。
20 天哪，众圣徒、众使徒、众先知啊！
你们都要因她欢喜，
因为 神已经在她身上为你们伸了冤。”
21 有一位大力的天使举起一块石头，好像大磨石，扔在海里，说：
“巴比伦大城
也必这样猛力地被扔下去，
绝对见不到了。

Contemporary English Version
19 (A) They cried loudly, and in their sorrow they threw dust on their heads, as they said,
“Pity the great city
of Babylon!
Everyone who sailed the seas
became rich
from her treasures.
But in a single hour
the city was destroyed.
20 (B) The heavens should be happy
with God's people
and apostles and prophets.
God has punished her
for them.”
21 (C) A powerful angel then picked up a huge stone and threw it into the sea. The angel said,
“This is how the great city
of Babylon
will be thrown down,
never to rise again.
