One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
拿着七碗的七位天使中,有一位前來對我說:「你到這裏來,我將坐在眾水上的大淫婦所要受的刑罰指給你看。
17:2
እንተምስሌሃዘመዉነገሥተምድርወሰክሩእለይነብሩዲበምድርእምነወይነዝሙታ።
with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell on the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.
The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.
These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
因為上帝使諸王同心合意,遵行他的旨意,把自己的國給那獸,直等到上帝的話都應驗了。
17:18
ወዛቲብእሲትእንተርኢካሀገርዐባይይእቲእንተትነግሥላዕለመንግሥታተምድር።
The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
