Revelation 18

1 After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.

1 此后，我看见另有一位有大权柄的天使从天降下，地就因他的荣耀发光。

2 And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.

2 他大声喊着说： 巴比伦大城倾倒了！倾倒了！ 成了鬼魔的住处 和各样污秽之灵的巢穴 ， 并各样污秽可憎之雀鸟的巢穴。

3 All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”

3 因为列国都被她邪淫大怒的酒倾倒了。 地上的君王与她行淫； 地上的客商因她奢华太过就发了财。

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.

4 我又听见从天上有声音说： 我的民哪，你们要从那城出来， 免得与她一同有罪，受她所受的灾殃；

5 For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

5 因她的罪恶滔天； 她的不义， 神已经想起来了。

6 Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup.

6 她怎样待人，也要怎样待她， 按她所行的加倍地报应她； 用她调酒的杯加倍地调给她喝。

7 As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’

7 她怎样荣耀自己，怎样奢华， 也当叫她照样痛苦悲哀， 因她心里说： 我坐了皇后的位， 并不是寡妇， 决不至于悲哀。

8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and grief and famine—and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”

8 所以在一天之内， 她的灾殃要一齐来到， 就是死亡、悲哀、饥荒。 她又要被火烧尽了， 因为审判她的主 神大有能力。

9 Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.

9 地上的君王，素来与她行淫、一同奢华的，看见烧她的烟，就必为她哭泣哀号。

10 In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, the mighty city of Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”

10 因怕她的痛苦，就远远地站着说：哀哉！哀哉！ 巴比伦大城，坚固的城啊， 一时之间你的刑罚就来到了。

11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo—

11 地上的客商也都为她哭泣悲哀，因为没有人再买他们的货物了；

12 cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;

12 这货物就是金、银、宝石、珍珠、细麻布、紫色料、绸子、朱红色料、各样香木、各样象牙的器皿、各样极宝贵的木头，和铜、铁、汉白玉的器皿，

13 of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and carriages; of bodies and souls of slaves.

13 并肉桂、豆蔻、香料、香膏、乳香、酒、油、细面、麦子、牛、羊、车、马，和奴仆、人口。

14 And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be seen again.”

14 巴比伦哪，你所贪爱的果子离开了你； 你一切的珍馐美味 和华美的物件也从你中间毁灭， 决不能再见了。

15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn,

15 贩卖这些货物、借着她发了财的客商，因怕她的痛苦，就远远地站着哭泣悲哀，说：

16 saying: “Woe, woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

16 哀哉！哀哉！这大城啊， 素常穿着细麻、 紫色、朱红色的衣服， 又用金子、宝石，和珍珠为妆饰。

17 For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor, and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance

17 一时之间，这么大的富厚就归于无有了。 凡船主和坐船往各处去的，并众水手，连所有靠海为业的，都远远地站着，

18 and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will exclaim.

18 看见烧她的烟，就喊着说：「有何城能比这大城呢？」

19 Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”

19 他们又把尘土撒在头上，哭泣悲哀，喊着说： 哀哉！哀哉！这大城啊。 凡有船在海中的，都因她的珍宝成了富足！ 她在一时之间就成了荒场！

20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.

20 天哪，众圣徒、众使徒、众先知啊， 你们都要因她欢喜， 因为 神已经在她身上伸了你们的冤。

21 Then a mighty angel picked up a stone the size of a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be cast down, never to be seen again.

21 有一位大力的天使举起一块石头，好像大磨石，扔在海里，说： 巴比伦大城也必这样猛力地被扔下去， 决不能再见了。

22 And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will never ring out in you again. Nor will any craftsmen of any trade be found in you again, nor the sound of a millstone be heard in you again.

22 弹琴、作乐、吹笛、吹号的声音， 在你中间决不能再听见； 各行手艺人在你中间决不能再遇见； 推磨的声音在你中间决不能再听见；

23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again, and the voices of a bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”

23 灯光在你中间决不能再照耀； 新郎和新妇的声音，在你中间决不能再听见。 你的客商原来是地上的尊贵人； 万国也被你的邪术迷惑了。

24 And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.

24 先知和圣徒，并地上一切被杀之人的血，都在这城里看见了。
