Revelation of John 17

I dođe jedan od sedam anđela što nose sedam čaša i prozbori mi: "Dođi pokazat ću ti sud nad Bludnicom velikom što sjedi nad vodama velikim,

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

s kojom su bludničili kraljevi zemlje i pozemljari se opiše vinom bluda njezina."

With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

I odnese me u duhu u pustinju. Tu vidjeh Ženu koja sjede na skrletnu Zvijer, punu bogohulnih imena, sa sedam glava i deset rogova.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Žena bijaše odjevena u grimiz i skrlet, sva u zlatu, dragom kamenju i biserju. U ruci joj zlatna čaša puna gnusobe i nečisti bluda njezina.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Na čelo joj napisano ime - tajna: "Babilon veliki, mati bludnica i gnusoba zemljinih."

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

I vidjeh: Žena je pijana od krvi svetih i od krvi svjedoka Isusovih. Kad je vidjeh, čudom se silnim začudih.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Nato će mi anđeo: "Što se čudiš? Ja ću ti kazati tajnu te žene i Zvijeri koja je nosi, Zvijeri sa sedam glava i deset rogova."

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

"Zvijer koju vidje bijaše i više nije; zamalo izlazi iz Bezdana i ide u propast. I zapanjit će se pozemljari - oni kojima ime, od postanka svijeta, nije zapisano u knjigu života - kad vide da Zvijer bijaše i više nije, a opet je tu.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Tu se hoće mudre pameti! Sedam glava sedam je bregova na kojima žena sjedi. A i sedam kraljeva:

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

pet ih već pade, jedan jest, a jedan još ne dođe: kada dođe, ostati mu je zamalo.

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

I Zvijer koja bijaše i više nije, osma je, a iz broja je njih sedmero, i ide u propast.

And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Deset rogova što ih vidje deset je kraljeva; oni još ne primiše kraljevstva, ali će - samo za jedan sat - primiti vlast kao kraljevi zajedno sa Zvijeri.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Jedne su misli: svu svoju silu i vlast predati Zvijeri.

These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Ratovat će protiv Jaganjca, ali će ih pobijediti Jaganjac - i njegovi pozvanici, izabranici, vjernici - jer on je Gospodar gospodara i Kralj kraljeva."

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

I reče mi anđeo: "Vode što ih vidje, na kojima Bludnica sjedi, to su puci i mnoštva i narodi i jezici.

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

I onih deset rogova što ih vidje i Zvijer - oni će zamrziti Bludnicu, opustošiti je i ogoliti, najesti se mesa njezina i ognjem je spaliti.

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Jer Bog im u srce stavi izvršiti naum njegov: da jednodušno predadu kraljevstvo svoje Zvijeri dok se ne ispune riječi Božje.

For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Žena koju vidje grad je veliki što kraljuje nad kraljevima zemaljskim."

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
