He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
18:5
እስመተለዋኀጣውኢሃእስከሰማይወተዘከረላቲእግዚአብሔርዐመፃሃ።
因她的罪惡滔天; 她的不義,上帝已經想起來了。
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
18:9
ወይበክዩላዕሌሃነገሥተምድርወይሬእይዋእለዘመዉወፈግዑምስሌሃ።
地上的君王,素來與她行淫、一同奢華的,看見燒她的煙,就必為她哭泣哀號。
The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
18:15
ወይቀውሙእምርኁቅበእንተፍርሀተሥቃይኪወይበክዩኪወይላሕዉኪ።
販賣這些貨物、藉着她發了財的客商,因怕她的痛苦,就遠遠地站着哭泣悲哀,說:
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18:18
ወጸርሑሶበርእዩውዕየተሀገራወይቤሉመኑይመስላለዛቲሀገርዐባይ።
看見燒她的煙,就喊着說:「有何城能比這大城呢?」
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
18:20
ለይትፈሣሕላዕሌሃሰማይወቅዱሳንነቢያትወሐዋርያትእስመተበቀለእግዚአብሔርበቀለክሙ።
天哪,眾聖徒、眾使徒、眾先知啊, 你們都要因她歡喜, 因為上帝已經在她身上伸了你們的冤。
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
