Revelation 18 Greek-English

1 Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ. 2 καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν ἰσχυρᾷ φωνῇ λέγων,

1After these things, I saw another angel descending from heaven, possessing great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. 2And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, and a haunt for every unclean and loathsome beast. 3For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality; the kings of the earth committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew wealthy from the power of her excessive luxury.”

4 Καὶ ἤκουσα ἄλλην φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσαν,

Ἐξέλθατε ὁ λαός μου ἐξ αὐτῆς
ἵνα μὴ συγκοινωνήσητε ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς,
καὶ ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς
ἵνα μὴ λάβητε,
5 ὅτι ἐκολλήθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
καὶ ἐμνημόνευσεν ὁ θεὸς τὰ ἀδικήματα αὐτῆς.
6 ἀπόδοτε αὐτῇ ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκεν
καὶ διπλώσατε τὰ διπλᾶ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς,
ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασεν κεράσατε αὐτῇ διπλοῦν,
7 ὅσα ἐδόξασεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐστρηνίασεν,
τοσοῦτον δότε αὐτῇ βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος.
ὅτι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει ὅτι
Κάθημαι βασίλισσα
καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμὶ
καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω.
8 διὰ τοῦτο ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρα ἥξουσιν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῆς,
θάνατος καὶ πένθος καὶ λιμός,
καὶ ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται,
ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ κρίνας αὐτήν.

4And I heard another voice from heaven saying: “Come out of her, my people, so that you do not participate in her sins, and so that you do not receive any of her plagues. 5For her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6Pay her back just as she herself paid out; pay her back double according to her deeds. In the cup she mixed, mix a double portion for her. 7To the same extent that she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her that much torment and grief. For in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen; I am no widow, and I will never see grief.’ 8Because of this, her plagues will come in a single day—death and grief and famine—and she will be burned up with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”

9 Καὶ κλαύσουσιν καὶ κόψονται ἐπ' αὐτὴν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς οἱ μετ' αὐτῆς πορνεύσαντες καὶ στρηνιάσαντες, ὅταν βλέπωσιν τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς, 10 ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑστηκότες διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς λέγοντες,

Οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη,
Βαβυλὼν ἡ πόλις ἡ ἰσχυρά,
ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου.

9And the kings of the earth, who committed immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10Standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, they will say: “Woe, woe, the great city! Babylon, the mighty city! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”

11 Καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς κλαίουσιν καὶ πενθοῦσιν ἐπ' αὐτήν, ὅτι τὸν γόμον αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἀγοράζει οὐκέτι 12 γόμον χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀργύρου καὶ λίθου τιμίου καὶ μαργαριτῶν καὶ βυσσίνου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ σιρικοῦ καὶ κοκκίνου καὶ πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐκ ξύλου τιμιωτάτου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μαρμάρου, 13 καὶ κιννάμωμον καὶ ἄμωμον καὶ θυμιάματα καὶ μύρον καὶ λίβανον καὶ οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ σεμίδαλιν καὶ σῖτον καὶ κτήνη καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ ἵππων καὶ ῥεδῶν καὶ σωμάτων, καὶ ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων.

11And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore— 12cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; every kind of citron wood, every article of ivory, every article of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, oil, fine flour, and wheat; cattle, sheep, horses, and carriages; and slaves—that is, the souls of human beings.

14“The fruit your soul lusted after has gone from you, and all the expensive and splendid things have perished from you, and people will never find them again.”

15 οἱ ἔμποροι τούτων οἱ πλουτήσαντες ἀπ' αὐτῆς ἀπὸ μακρόθεν στήσονται διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες 16 λέγοντες, 17 ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος.

15The merchants of these things, who grew wealthy from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, 16saying: “Woe, woe, the great city, clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls! 17For in a single hour such great wealth has been desolated.”

καὶ πᾶς κυβερνήτης καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἐπὶ τόπον πλέων καὶ ναῦται καὶ ὅσοι τὴν θάλασσαν ἐργάζονται, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν 18 καὶ ἔκραξαν βλέποντες τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς λέγοντες, Τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ; 19 καὶ ἔβαλον χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκραξαν κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες λέγοντες,

And every shipmaster, every seafarer, sailors, and all who work the sea stood at a distance 18and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, “What city was like the great city?” 19And they threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying: “Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships on the sea grew wealthy from her richness! For in a single hour she has been desolated.”

20“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints, apostles, and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!”

21 Καὶ ἦρεν εἷς ἄγγελος ἰσχυρὸς λίθον ὡς μύλινον μέγαν καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν λέγων,

Οὕτως ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται
Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη πόλις
καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔτι.
22 καὶ φωνὴ κιθαρῳδῶν καὶ μουσικῶν
καὶ αὐλητῶν καὶ σαλπιστῶν
οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοί ἔτι,
καὶ πᾶς τεχνίτης
πάσης τέχνης οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν σοί ἔτι,
καὶ φωνὴ μύλου
οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοί ἔτι,
23 καὶ φῶς λύχνου
οὐ μὴ φάνῃ ἐν σοί ἔτι,
καὶ φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ νύμφης
οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοί ἔτι·
ὅτι οἱ ἔμποροί σου ἦσαν οἱ μεγιστᾶνες τῆς γῆς,
ὅτι ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη,

24 καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

21Then a single mighty angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: “With such violence will Babylon, the great city, be hurled down, and she will never be found again. 22And the sound of harpists, musicians, flute players, and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; and no craftsman of any trade will ever be found in you again; and the sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again; 23and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. For your merchants were the magnates of the earth, and by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
