Young's Literal Translation
Then
one of the seven angels
with
the seven bowls
came
and said
to me, “
Come, I will show
you
the punishment
of the great prostitute
, who sits
on
many waters .
And
there
came
one of the seven messengers,
who
were
having
the seven vials,
and he
spake
with
me,
saying
to me, `
Come, I will shew
to
thee
the judgment
of the great whore
, who is
sitting
upon
the
many waters ,
The kings of the earth were
immoral
with
her,
and those
who
dwell
on
the
earth
were
intoxicated
with
the wine of her immorality.”
with
whom
the kings of the earth did
commit
whoredom;
and made
drunk
from
the wine of her whoredom
were
those
inhabiting
the
earth;'
And the
angel
carried me away in the Spirit into
a
wilderness
, where
I saw a woman sitting on
a scarlet beast that
was
covered
with
blasphemous
names and
had
seven heads and ten horns .
and he
carried me away to
a
wilderness
in the Spirit, and
I saw a woman sitting upon
a scarlet -coloured
beast ,
full
of
names of
evil-speaking,
having
seven heads and ten horns ,
The woman was dressed
in
purple and scarlet, and adorned
with gold and precious stones
and pearls .
She
held
in
her
hand
a golden cup full of abominations and the
impurities
of her sexual
immorality.
and
the woman was arrayed
with
purple and scarlet -colour
, and gilded
with gold ,
and precious stone,
and pearls ,
having
a golden cup in
her
hand
full of abominations and uncleanness
of her whoredom,
And on
her forehead a mysterious
name was
written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF
THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
and upon
her forehead was
a name written: `Secret,
Babylon the Great, the Mother of the
Whores,
and the Abominations of the earth. '
I could
see
that
the woman was
drunk
with
the blood of the saints and witnesses for
Jesus .
And I was
utterly
amazed
at
the
sight
of
her .
And
I saw
the woman drunken
from
the blood of the saints ,
and from
the
blood
of
the
witnesses of
Jesus ,
and I did
wonder
--
having
seen
her --
with
great
wonder;
“Why
are
you
so
amazed?”
said
the angel.
“
I will tell you
the mystery
of the woman and of the beast that carries
her, which has
the seven heads and ten horns.
and
the messenger
said
to
me,
`Wherefore
didst
thou
wonder?
I --
I
will tell thee
the secret
of the woman and of the beast that `is'
carrying
her, which hath
the seven heads and the
ten horns.
The beast that you
saw—
it was, and now
is no
more,
but
is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its
destruction .
And those who
dwell
on
the earth whose names were
not written in
the Book
of Life from the foundation of the world will
marvel
when
they
see
the beast that was, and is not, and
yet
will
be
.
`
The beast that thou
didst
see:
it was, and it
is not;
and
it
is about to come up out of the abyss ,
and to
go away
to destruction ,
and wonder
shall
those dwelling
upon
the earth ,
whose names have
not been
written upon
the scroll
of the
life from the foundation of the world ,
beholding
the beast that was, and is not, although
it
is
.
This
calls
for
a
mind with
wisdom .
The seven heads are seven mountains on
which the woman sits.
`Here
`is'
the
mind that
is
having
wisdom ;
the seven heads are seven mountains ,
upon
which the woman doth
sit,
There are also
seven kings .
Five have
fallen
, one is, and
the other has
not yet come ;
but
when he does
come, he
must
remain for
only
a little while.
and
there are seven kings ,
the
five did
fall
, and
the
one is, the other did
not yet come ,
and
when he may
come, it
behoveth
him
to
remain a little time;
The beast that was, and now
is not, is an
eighth king
, who
belongs
to
the other
seven and
is going
into
destruction.
and
the beast that was, and is not, he
also
is eighth, and
out
of
the seven he
is ,
and
to
destruction he
doth
go
away
.
The ten horns you
saw
are ten kings who have
not
yet
received
a kingdom, but will
receive
one
hour
of
authority as kings ,
along
with the beast .
`And
the ten horns that
thou
sawest,
are ten kings ,
who a kingdom did
not
yet
receive
, but authority as kings the
same
hour
do
receive
with the beast ,
These kings
have one purpose:
to
yield
their power and authority to the beast .
these have one mind,
and
their own
power and authority to the beast they
shall
give
over;
They
will
make
war
against
the Lamb, and the Lamb will
triumph
over
them, because He
is
Lord of lords and King of kings ;
and He
will
be
accompanied
by
His
called and chosen
and faithful
ones
. ”
these
with
the Lamb shall
make
war
, and the Lamb shall
overcome
them, because Lord of lords he
is,
and King of kings ,
and those
with
him
are
called ,
and choice,
and stedfast
. '
Then
the
angel
said
to me, “
The waters you
saw
, where the prostitute
was
seated
, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues .
And
he
saith
to me, `
The waters that
thou
didst
see
, where the whore
doth
sit
, are peoples ,
and multitudes ,
and nations ,
and tongues ;'
And the ten horns and
the beast that
you
saw
will
hate the prostitute.
They
will
leave
her desolate and naked, and will
eat her flesh and burn her with
fire .
and the ten horns that
thou
didst
see
upon
the beast ,
these
shall
hate the whore,
and
shall
make
her desolate and naked, and shall
eat her flesh ,
and shall
burn her in
fire ,
For God has
put
it
into their hearts to carry
out
His
purpose
by
uniting
to give their kingdom to the beast ,
until
the words
of God are
fulfilled.
for God did
give
into their hearts to do
its
mind,
and
to make
one
mind,
and
to
give their kingdom to the beast till
the sayings
of God may
be
complete,
And the woman you
saw
is the great city that rules
over the kings of the earth
. ”
and the woman that
thou
didst
see
is the great city that is
having
reign
over the kings of the land
. '
