1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be , shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
1 et post haec vidi alium angelum descendentem de caelo
habentem potestatem magnam
et terra inluminata est a gloria eius
2 et exclamavit in forti voce dicens
cecidit cecidit Babylon magna
et facta est habitatio daemoniorum
et custodia omnis spiritus inmundi
et custodia omnis volucris inmundae
3 quia de ira fornicationis eius biberunt omnes
gentes
et reges terrae cum illa fornicati sunt
et mercatores terrae de virtute deliciarum eius divites facti sunt
4 et audivi aliam vocem de caelo dicentem
exite de illa populus meus
ut ne participes sitis delictorum eius
et de plagis eius non accipiatis
5 quoniam pervenerunt peccata eius usque ad caelum
et recordatus est Deus iniquitatum eius
6 reddite illi sicut ipsa reddidit
et duplicate duplicia secundum opera eius
in poculo quo miscuit miscite illi duplum
7 quantum glorificavit se et in deliciis fuit
tantum date illi tormentum et luctum
quia in corde suo dicit
sedeo regina et vidua non sum et luctum non videbo
8 ideo in una die venient plagae eius
mors et luctus et fames et igni conburetur
quia fortis est Deus qui iudicavit illam
9 et flebunt et plangent se super illam reges terrae
qui cum illa fornicati sunt et in deliciis vixerunt
cum viderint fumum incendii eius
10 longe stantes propter timorem tormentorum eius
dicentes vae vae civitas illa magna Babylon civitas illa fortis
quoniam una hora venit iudicium tuum
11 et negotiatores terrae flebunt et lugebunt super illam
quoniam merces eorum nemo emet amplius
12 mercem auri et argenti et lapidis pretiosi
et margaritis et byssi et purpurae et serici et
cocci
et omne lignum thyinum et omnia vasa eboris
et omnia vasa de lapide pretioso et aeramento et ferro et marmore
13 et cinnamomum et amomum
et odoramentorum et unguenti et turis
et vini et olei et similae et tritici
et iumentorum et ovium et equorum et raedarum
et mancipiorum et animarum hominum
14 et poma tua desiderii animae
discessit a te
et omnia pinguia et clara perierunt a te
et amplius illa iam non invenient
15 mercatores horum qui divites facti sunt ab ea longe stabunt
propter timorem tormentorum eius
flentes ac lugentes
16 et dicentes
vae vae civitas illa magna
quae amicta erat byssino et purpura et cocco
et deaurata est auro et lapide pretioso et margaritis
17 quoniam una hora destitutae sunt tantae divitiae
et omnis gubernator
et omnis qui in locum navigat
et nautae et qui maria operantur
longe steterunt
18 et clamaverunt
videntes locum incendii eius dicentes
quae similis civitati huic magnae
19 et miserunt pulverem super capita sua
et clamaverunt flentes et lugentes dicentes
vae vae civitas magna
in qua divites facti sunt omnes
qui habent naves in mari de pretiis eius
quoniam una hora desolata est
20 exulta super eam caelum et sancti et apostoli et
prophetae
quoniam iudicavit Deus iudicium vestrum de illa
21 et sustulit unus angelus fortis lapidem quasi molarem magnum
et misit in mare dicens
hoc impetu mittetur Babylon magna illa civitas
et ultra iam non invenietur
22 et vox citharoedorum et musicorum
et tibia canentium et tuba non audietur in te amplius
et omnis artifex omnis artis non invenietur in te
amplius
et vox molae non audietur in te amplius
23 et lux lucernae non lucebit tibi amplius
et vox sponsi et sponsae non audietur adhuc in te
quia mercatores tui erant principes terrae
quia in veneficiis tuis erraverunt omnes gentes
24 et in ea sanguis prophetarum et sanctorum inventus est
et omnium qui interfecti sunt in terra
