New Testament

Revelation 18

1After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

μετα ταυτα ειδον αλλον αγγελον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου, εχοντα εξουσιαν μεγαλην, και η γη εφωτισθη εκ της δοξης αυτου,

2And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, 'Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

και εκραξεν εν ισχυρα φωνη λεγων· επεσεν, επεσεν βαβυλων η μεγαλη, και εγενετο κατοικητηριον δαιμονιων και φυλακη παντος πνευματος ακαθαρτου και φυλακη παντος ορνεου ακαθαρτου και μεμισημενου·

3For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.'

οτι εκ του οινου του θυμου της πορνειας αυτης πεπωκαν παντα τα εθνη, και οι βασιλεις της γης μετ αυτης επορνευσαν, και οι εμποροι της γης εκ της δυναμεως του στρηνους αυτης επλουτησαν.

4And I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

και ηκουσα αλλην φωνην εκ του ουρανου λεγουσαν· εξελθε εξ αυτης ο λαος μου, ινα μη συγκοινωνησητε ταις αμαρτιαις αυτης, και ινα εκ των πληγων αυτης μη λαβητε·

5For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

οτι εκολληθησαν αυτης αι αμαρτιαι αχρι του ουρανου, και εμνημονευσεν ο θεος τα αδικηματα αυτης.

6Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.

αποδοτε αυτη ως και αυτη απεδωκεν, και διπλωσατε [αυτη] διπλα κατα τα εργα αυτης· εν τω ποτηριω ω εκερασεν, κερασατε αυτη διπλουν.

7In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.'

οσα εδοξασεν εαυτην και εστρηνιασεν, τοσουτον δοτε αυτη βασανισμον και πενθος. οτι εν τη καρδια αυτης λεγει, οτι καθημαι [καθως] βασιλισσα και χηρα ουκ ειμι και πενθος ου μη ιδω,

8Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

δια τουτο εν μια ημερα ηξουσιν αι πληγαι αυτης, θανατος και πενθος και λιμος, και εν πυρι κατακαυθησεται· οτι ισχυρος κυριος ο θεος ο κρινας αυτην.

9'The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

και κλαυσουσιν αυτην και κοψονται επ αυτη οι βασιλεις της γης οι μετ αυτης πορνευσαντες και στρηνιασαντες, οταν βλεπωσιν τον καπνον της πυρωσεως αυτης,

10standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'

απο μακροθεν εστηκοτες δια τον φοβον του βασανισμου αυτης, λεγοντες· ουαι ουαι, η πολις η μεγαλη βαβυλων, η πολις η ισχυρα, οτι μια ωρα ηλθεν η κρισις σου.

11'And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore:

και οι εμποροι της γης κλαυσουσιν και πενθησουσιν επ αυτη, οτι τον γομον αυτων ουδεις αγοραζει ουκετι,

12merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;

γομον χρυσου και αργυρου και λιθου τιμιου και μαργαριτου, και βυσσινου και πορφυρας και σηρικου και κοκκινου, και παν ξυλον θυινον και παν σκευος ελεφαντινον και παν σκευος εκ ξυλου τιμιωτατου και χαλκου και σιδηρου και μαρμαρου,

13and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

και κιναμωμον και αμωμον και θυμιαματα, και μυρον και λιβανον και οινον και ελαιον και σεμιδαλιν και σιτον και κτηνη και προβατα, και ιππων και ρεδων και σωματων, και ψυχας ανθρωπων.

14The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.

και η οπωρα της επιθυμιας της ψυχης σου απωλετο απο σου, και παντα τα λιπαρα και τα λαμπρα απηλθεν απο σου, και ουκετι ου μη αυτα ευρησεις.

15The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

οι εμποροι τουτων, οι πλουτησαντες απ αυτης, απο μακροθεν στησονται δια τον φοβον του βασανισμου αυτης κλαιοντες και πενθουντες,

16and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

λεγοντες· ουαι ουαι, η πολις η μεγαλη, η περιβεβλημενη βυσσινον και πορφυρουν και κοκκινον και κεχρυσωμενη εν χρυσιω και λιθω τιμιω και μαργαριταις,

17For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance

οτι μια ωρα ηρημωθη ο τοσουτος πλουτος. και πας κυβερνητης και πας ο επι τοπον πλεων, και ναυται και οσοι την θαλασσαν εργαζονται, απο μακροθεν εστησαν,

18and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like this great city?'

και εκραζον βλεποντες τον καπνον της πυρωσεως αυτης, λεγοντες· τις ομοια τη πολει τη μεγαλη;

19'They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.'

και εβαλον χουν επι τας κεφαλας αυτων και εκραζον κλαιοντες και πενθουντες, λεγοντες· ουαι ουαι, η πολις η μεγαλη, εν η επλουτησαν παντες οι εχοντες τα πλοια εν τη θαλασση εκ της τιμιοτητος αυτης· οτι μια ωρα ηρημωθη.

20'Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!'

ευφραινου επ αυτη, ουρανε, και οι αγιοι και οι αποστολοι και οι προφηται, οτι εκρινεν ο θεος το κριμα υμων εξ αυτης.

21Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 'Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.

και ηρεν εις αγγελος ισχυρος λιθον ως μυλον μεγαν και εβαλεν εις την θαλασσαν λεγων· ουτως ορμηματι βληθησεται βαβυλων η μεγαλη πολις, και ου μη ευρεθη ετι.

22The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.

και φωνη κιθαρωδων και μουσικων και αυλητων και σαλπιστων ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι, και πας τεχνιτης πασης τεχνης ου μη ευρεθη εν σοι ετι, και φωνη μυλου ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι,

23The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

και φως λυχνου ου μη φανη εν σοι ετι, και φωνη νυμφιου και νυμφης ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι· οτι οι εμποροι σου ησαν οι μεγιστανες της γης, οτι εν τη φαρμακεια σου επλανηθησαν παντα τα εθνη,

24And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.'

και εν αυτη αιματα προφητων και αγιων ευρεθη και παντων των εσφαγμενων επι της γης.
