17 Then kai one heis of ek the ho seven hepta angels angelos who ho had echō the ho seven hepta bowls phialē came erchomai and kai talked laleō with meta me egō, saying legō, “ Come deuro, I will show deiknymi you sy the ho judgment krima of the ho great megas prostitute pornē · ho who ho is seated kathēmai on epi many polys waters hydōr. ² The ho kings basileus of the ho earth gē committed acts of immorality porneuō with meta her hos, and kai those ho who dwell katoikeō upon the ho earth gē became intoxicated methyskō with ek the ho wine oinos of ho her autos immorality porneia.” ³ So kai he carried apopherō me egō away in en the spirit pneuma into eis a wilderness erēmos, and kai there I saw a woman gynē sitting kathēmai on epi a scarlet kokkinos beast thērion covered gemō with blasphemous blasphēmia names onoma. It had echō seven hepta heads kephalē and kai ten deka horns keras. ⁴ · kai The ho woman gynē was eimi clothed periballō in purple porphyrous and kai scarlet kokkinos, and kai adorned chrysoō with gold chrysion and kai jewels lithos timios and kai pearls margaritēs. In en her autos hand cheir she held echō a golden chrysous cup potērion · ho full gemō of abominations bdelygma, · kai the ho impurities akathartos of ho her autos fornication porneia. ⁵ And kai on epi · ho her autos forehead metōpon was written graphō a name onoma, a mystery mystērion: “ Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas, · ho mother mētēr of ho prostitutes pornē and kai of the ho abominations bdelygma of the ho earth gē.” ⁶ And kai I saw the ho woman gynē drunk methyō with ek the ho blood haima of the ho saints hagios, · kai the ho blood haima of those ho who bore witness martys to Jesus Iēsous. · kai When I saw her autos, I was thaumazō greatly thauma megas astounded thaumazō. ⁷ Then kai the ho angel angelos said legō to me egō, “ Why dia tis are you astounded thaumazō? I egō will explain legō to you sy the ho mystery mystērion of the ho woman gynē and kai of the ho beast thērion with echō seven hepta heads kephalē and kai ten deka horns keras that ho carries bastazō her autos. · ho · ho · ho ⁸ The ho beast thērion that hos you saw was eimi, and kai now is eimi not ou, but kai is about mellō to rise anabainō from ek the ho abyss abyssos and kai go hypagō to eis destruction apōleia. And kai those ho who dwell katoikeō on epi the ho earth gē, whose hos names onoma have not ou been written graphō · ho in epi the ho Book biblion of ho Life zōē from apo the foundation katabolē of the world kosmos, will be astounded thaumazō when they see blepō the ho beast thērion, because hoti he was eimi and kai is eimi not ou, but kai is to come pareimi.

⁹ “ This hōde calls for a ho mind nous · ho with echō wisdom sophia. The ho seven hepta heads kephalē are eimi seven hepta mountains oros on epi which autos the ho woman gynē sits kathēmai. They are eimi also kai seven hepta kings basileus: ¹⁰ · ho five pente have fallen piptō, · ho one heis is eimi, the ho other allos has not yet oupō come erchomai; and kai when hotan he does come erchomai, he autos must dei remain menō for only a brief time oligos. ¹¹ · kai The ho beast thērion that hos was eimi, and kai now is eimi not ou, · kai is eimi himself autos an eighth ogdoos king, but kai also one of ek the ho seven hepta, and kai is on his way hypagō to eis destruction apōleia. ¹² And kai the ho ten deka horns keras that hos you saw are eimi ten deka kings basileus who hostis as yet oupō have lambanō not oupō received lambanō royal power basileia, but alla will receive lambanō ruling authority exousia as hōs kings basileus for one heis hour hōra, along with meta the ho beast thērion. ¹³ These houtos are echō of one heis mind gnōmē and kai will hand over didōmi · ho their autos power dynamis and kai authority exousia to the ho beast thērion. ¹⁴ They houtos will make war polemeō on meta the ho Lamb arnion, but kai the ho Lamb arnion will conquer nikaō them autos because hoti he is eimi Lord kyrios of lords kyrios and kai King basileus of kings basileus; and kai with meta him autos will be the ho called klētos, · kai the chosen eklektos, and kai the faithful pistos.” ¹⁵ Then kai the angel said legō to me egō, “ The ho waters hydōr that hos you saw, where hou the ho prostitute pornē is seated kathēmai, are eimi peoples laos, · kai multitudes ochlos, · kai nations ethnos, and kai languages glōssa. ¹⁶ As for kai the ho ten deka horns keras that hos you saw, they and kai the ho beast thērion will hate miseō the ho prostitute pornē and kai make poieō her autos desolate erēmoō and kai naked gymnos. · kai They will devour esthiō · ho her autos flesh sarx and kai burn katakaiō her autos up with en fire pyr, ¹⁷ · ho for gar God theos has put didōmi it into eis · ho their autos hearts kardia to carry out poieō · ho his autos purpose gnōmē · kai by agreeing together poieō · kai to turn over didōmi · ho their autos royal power basileia to the ho beast thērion, until achri the ho words logos of ho God theos are fulfilled teleō. ¹⁸ And kai the ho woman gynē you saw is eimi the ho great megas city polis · ho that ho has echō dominion basileia over epi the ho kings basileus of the ho earth gē.”

18 After meta this houtos I saw another allos angel angelos coming down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos, having echō great megas authority exousia, and kai the ho earth gē was made bright phōtizō with ek · ho his autos glory doxa. ² And kai he called out krazō with en a powerful ischuros voice phōnē, saying legō, “ Fallen piptō, fallen piptō is Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas! · kai She has become ginomai a dwelling place katoikētērion for demons daimonion and kai a haunt phylakē for every pas unclean akathartos spirit pneuma, · kai a haunt phylakē for every pas unclean akathartos bird orneon, · kai a haunt phylakē for every pas unclean akathartos and kai detestable miseō beast thērion. ³ For hoti all pas the ho nations ethnos have drunk pinō the ho wine oinos of ho her autos passionate thumos · ho immorality porneia, and kai the ho kings basileus of the ho earth gē have committed acts of immorality porneuō with meta her autos, and kai the ho merchants emporos of the ho earth gē have grown rich plouteō from ek the ho power dynamis of ho her autos excessive luxury strēnos.” ⁴ Then kai I heard akouō another allos voice phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Come exerchomai out of ek her autos, · ho my egō people laos, lest hina mē you share synkoinōneō in ho her autos sins hamartia, and kai lest hina you receive lambanō · ho her autos plagues plēgē; ⁵ for hoti her autos sins hamartia are heaped up kollaō · ho as high as achri · ho heaven ouranos, and kai God theos has remembered mnēmoneuō · ho · ho her autos crimes adikēma. ⁶ Pay apodidōmi her autos back as hōs · kai she herself autos has paid apodidōmi back others, and kai repay diploō her · ho double diplous according to kata · ho her autos works ergon; in en the ho cup potērion that hos she mixed kerannymi, mix kerannymi a double draught diplous for her autos. ⁷ As hosos she exalted doxazō herself autos and kai lived in luxury strēniaō, give didōmi her autos an equal measure tosoutos of torment basanismos and kai mourning penthos; because hoti in en · ho her autos heart kardia she said legō, ‘ I sit kathēmai as a queen basilissa, · kai I am eimi no ou widow chēra, and kai mourning penthos I will never ou mē see.’ ⁸ Therefore dia houtos her autos plagues plēgē will come hēkō in en a single heis day hēmera · ho— death thanatos and kai mourning penthos and kai famine limos. And kai she will be consumed katakaiō with en fire pyr, for hoti mighty ischuros is the Lord kyrios · ho God theos who ho has judged krinō her autos.”

⁹ Then kai the ho kings basileus of the ho earth gē, those ho who committed acts of immorality porneuō with meta her autos and kai shared her luxury strēniaō, will weep klaiō and kai wail koptō over epi her autos when hotan they see blepō the ho smoke kapnos of ho her autos burning pyrōsis. ¹⁰ They will stand histēmi at apo a distance makrothen in dia · ho fear phobos of ho her autos torment basanismos, and say legō, “ Alas ouai!

¹¹ And kai the ho merchants emporos of the ho earth gē will weep klaiō and kai mourn pentheō over epi her autos since hoti no one oudeis buys agorazō · ho their autos cargo gomos anymore ouketi, ¹² cargo gomos such as gold chrysos, · kai silver argyros, · kai precious timios stones lithos, and kai pearls margaritēs; · kai fine linen byssinos, · kai purple porphyra, · kai silk sirikos, and kai scarlet cloth kokkinos; · kai all pas kinds of things made of citron thuinos wood xylon, · kai all kinds of pas articles skeuos made of ivory elephantinos, and kai all kinds of pas articles skeuos made of ek costly timios wood xylon, · kai bronze chalkos, · kai iron sidēros, and kai marble marmaros; ¹³ · kai cinnamon kinnamōmon, · kai spice amōmon, · kai incense thumiama, · kai myrrh myron, and kai frankincense libanos; · kai wine oinos, · kai olive oil elaion, · kai fine flour semidalis, and kai wheat sitos; · kai cattle ktēnos, · kai sheep probaton, · kai horses hippos, and kai chariots rhedē; and kai slaves sōma, that is kai, human anthrōpos livestock psychē. ¹⁴ · kai “ The ho fruit opōra that your sy soul psychē · ho longed for epithumia · ho has gone aperchomai from apo you sy, and kai all pas your ho delicacies liparos and kai · ho splendid things lampros are lost apollymi to apo you sy, · kai never ouketi ou to be found heuriskō again!” ¹⁵ The ho merchants emporos who ho became rich plouteō by apo selling her autos these things houtos will stand histēmi at apo a distance makrothen weeping klaiō and kai mourning pentheō because dia they · ho fear phobos · ho her autos torment basanismos. ¹⁶ They will lament legō, “ Alas ouai, alas ouai, O ho great megas city polis, · ho · ho clothed periballō in fine linen byssinos, · kai purple porphyrous, and kai scarlet kokkinos, · kai glittering chrysoō with en gold chrysion, · kai precious timios stones lithos, and kai pearls margaritēs! ¹⁷ For hoti in a single heis hour hōra such tosoutos great wealth ploutos has been brought to ruin erēmoō.” · ho And kai every pas sea captain kybernētēs and kai everyone pas who ho travels pleō by epi sea topos, · kai sailors nautēs and kai those who hosos make their living ergazomai from the ho sea thalassa, stood histēmi at apo a distance makrothen ¹⁸ and kai cried out krazō as they saw blepō the ho smoke kapnos of ho her autos burning pyrōsis, exclaiming legō, “ What tis city was ever like homoios the ho great megas city polis?” · ho ¹⁹ And kai they threw ballō dust chous on epi · ho their autos heads kephalē and kai cried out krazō as they wept klaiō and kai mourned pentheō, saying legō, “ Alas ouai, alas ouai, O ho great megas city polis · ho by en which hos all pas who ho had echō · ho ships ploion at en · ho sea thalassa grew rich plouteō from ek · ho her autos prosperity timiotēs! For hoti in a single heis hour hōra she has been brought to ruin erēmoō. ²⁰ Rejoice euphrainō over epi her autos, O heaven ouranos, and kai you ho saints hagios and kai · ho apostles apostolos and kai · ho prophets prophētēs, for hoti God theos has pronounced krinō · ho · ho judgment krima for you hymeis against ek her autos!” ²¹ Then kai a heis mighty ischuros angel angelos picked up airō a stone lithos the size of hōs a huge megas millstone mylinos and kai hurled ballō it into eis the ho sea thalassa, saying legō, “ With this kind of houtōs violence hormēma Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas city polis will be thrown down ballō, and kai never ou mē again eti will it be found heuriskō! ²² And kai the sound phōnē of harpists kitharōidos and kai musicians mousikos, · kai flute players aulētēs and kai trumpeters salpistēs, will never ou mē again eti be heard akouō; · kai craftsman technitēs of any pas trade technē will never ou mē again eti be found heuriskō in en you sy, and kai the sound phōnē of the mill mylos will never ou mē again eti be heard akouō in en you sy; ²³ · kai the light phōs of a lamp lychnos will never ou mē again eti shine phainō in en you sy, and kai the voice phōnē of bridegroom nymphios and kai bride nymphē will never ou mē again eti be heard akouō in en you sy; for hoti · ho your sy merchants emporos were eimi the ho great ones megistan of the ho earth gē, and hoti all pas nations ethnos were deceived planaō by en · ho your sy magic spells pharmakeia. · ho ²⁴ And kai in en her autos was found heuriskō the blood haima of prophets prophētēs and kai of saints hagios, and kai of all pas who ho have been slain sphazō on epi the ho earth gē.”

19 After meta this houtos I heard akouō what sounded like hōs the roar phōnē megas of a great polys throng ochlos in en · ho heaven ouranos, saying legō, “ Hallelujah hallēlouia! · ho Salvation sōtēria and kai · ho glory doxa and kai · ho power dynamis belong to ho our hēmeis God theos, ² because hoti true alēthinos and kai just dikaios are · ho his autos judgments krisis. For hoti he has judged krinō the ho great megas prostitute pornē · ho who hostis corrupted phtheirō the ho earth gē with en · ho her autos immorality porneia, and kai has avenged ekdikeō the ho blood haima of ho his autos servants shed by ek her autos hand cheir.” ³ Then kai again deuteros they cried out legō, “ Hallelujah hallēlouia! · kai The ho smoke kapnos from her autos burning rises anabainō for eis all ho time aiōn ho!” · ho ⁴ And kai the ho twenty-four eikosi elders presbyteros · ho and kai the ho four tessares living creatures zōon fell down piptō and kai worshiped proskyneō · ho God theos who ho was seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos, saying legō, “ Amen amēn!

⁹ And kai the angel said legō to me egō, “ Write graphō, ‘ Blessed makarios are those ho who are invited kaleō to eis the ho marriage gamos supper deipnon · ho of the ho Lamb arnion!’” He also kai said legō to me egō, “ These houtos are eimi the ho true alēthinos words logos of ho God theos.” ¹⁰ Then kai I fell piptō down at emprosthen · ho his autos feet pous to worship proskyneō him autos, but kai he said legō to me egō, “ Do horaō not mē do that!

¹¹ Then kai I saw · ho heaven ouranos opened anoigō, and kai behold idou, a white leukos horse hippos! · kai The ho one riding kathēmai it autos is called kaleō Faithful pistos and kai True alēthinos, and kai with en justice dikaiosynē he judges krinō and kai makes war polemeō. ¹² · ho · de His autos eyes ophthalmos are like hōs a flame phlox of fire pyr, and kai on epi · ho his autos head kephalē are many polys diadems diadēma, and he has echō a name onoma written graphō that hos no one oudeis knows oida except ei mē himself autos. ¹³ · kai He is clothed in periballō a robe himation dipped baptō in blood haima, and kai the ho name onoma by which autos he is called kaleō is the ho Word logos of ho God theos. ¹⁴ And kai the ho armies strateuma · ho of en · ho heaven ouranos, arrayed in endyō fine linen byssinos, white leukos and clean katharos, were following akoloutheō him autos on epi white leukos horses hippos. ¹⁵ · kai From ek · ho his autos mouth stoma extends ekporeuomai a sharp oxys sword rhomphaia so that hina with en it autos he can strike down patassō the ho nations ethnos. · kai He autos will rule poimainō them autos with en a rod rhabdos of iron sidērous. · kai He autos will tread pateō the ho winepress lēnos ho · ho of the ho furious thumos · ho wrath orgē of ho God theos the ho Almighty pantokratōr. ¹⁶ · kai On epi his ho robe himation and kai on epi · ho his autos thigh mēros he has echō a name onoma written graphō, King basileus of kings basileus and kai Lord kyrios of lords kyrios.
