Revelation of John 18

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

Nakon toga vidjeh: jedan drugi anđeo silazi s neba s moći velikom! Sva se zemlja zasvijetlila od njegova sjaja.

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.

On povika iza glasa: "Pade, pade Babilon veliki - Bludnica - i postade prebivalištem zloduha, nastambom svih duhova nečistih, nastambom svih ptica nečistih mrskih

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.

jer se gnjevnim vinom bluda njezina opiše narodi; s njom su bludničili svi kraljevi zemaljski, a trgovci se zemaljski obogatiše od silna raskošja njezina."

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.

Začujem i drugi glas s neba: "Iziđite iz nje, narode moj, da vas ne zadese zla njezina te ne budete suzajedničari grijeha njezinih!

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Jer njezini grijesi do neba dopriješe i spomenu se Bog zločina njezinih.

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.

Vratite joj milo za drago, naplatite joj dvostruko po djelima! U čašu u koju je ona natakala natočite dvostruko!

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.

Koliko se razmetala sjajem i raskoši, toliko joj zadajte muka i jada! Jer u srcu je svome govorila: 'Na prijestolju sjedim kao kraljica i nikad neću obudovjeti, jad me nikada zadesiti neće!'

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.

Stoga u isti će je dan zla zadesiti: smrt i jad i glad te će sva u ognju biti spaljena. Jer silan je Gospod, Bog, Sudac njezin!"

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,

I plakat će i naricati za njom kraljevi zemlje što su s njome bludničili i raskošno živjeli kad gledali budu dim požara njezina.

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.

Prestrašeni mukama njezinim, izadaleka će stajati i naricati: "Jao, jao, grade veliki, Babilone, grade silni! Kako li te u tren oka stiže osuda!"

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

I trgovci zemaljski plaču nad njom i tuguju jer im trga nitko više ne kupuje:

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,

ni zlata, ni srebra, ni dragoga kamenja, ni biserja, ni tanana lana, ni grimiza, ni svile, ni skrleta: nit ikakva mirisava drveta, nit ikakva predmeta od slonove kosti, nit ikakva predmeta od skupocjena drveta, nit od mjedi, nit od željeza, nit od mramora;

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.

ni cimeta, ni balzama, ni miomirisa, ni pomasti, ni tamjana, ni vina, ni ulja, ni bijeloga brašna, ni pšenice; ni goveda, ni ovaca, ni konja, ni kočija, ni roblja nit ikoje žive duše.

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.

"Voće za kojim ti duša žudjela pobježe od tebe, sav raskoš i sjaj propade ti - ne, nema ga više!"

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

Trgovci što svim tim trgovahu, što ih ona obogati, izdaleka će stajati, prestrašeni mukama njezinim, plakat će i tugovati:

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!

"Jao, jao, grade veliki, odjeveni nekoć u lan tanan i grimiz i skrlet, nakićeni zlatom i dragim kamenjem i biserjem!

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,

U tren oka opustje toliko bogatstvo!" I svi kormilari i putnici, svi mornari i moreplovci izdaleka stoje

And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

i, gledajući dim njezina požara, zapomažu: "Koji li je grad sličan gradu ovom velikom?"

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.

I posuše glavu pepelom te plačući i tugujući viknuše: "Jao, jao, grada li velikoga! Dragocjenostima se njegovim obogatiše svi posjednici morskih brodova, a evo - u tren oka opustje!"

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

Veseli se nad njom, nebo, i svi sveti i apostoli i proroci jer Bog osudivši nju, vama pravo dosudi!

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.

I jedan snažan anđeo uze kamen, velik poput mlinskoga kamena, i baci ga u more govoreći: "Tako će silovito biti strovaljen Babilon, grad veliki, i nikada ga više biti neće!"

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;

"Glas citraša i pjevača i svirača i trubljača u tebi se više neće čuti! Obrtnik vješt kojem god umijeću u tebi se više neće naći! Klopot žrvnja u tebi se više neće čuti!

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.

Svjetlost svjetiljke u tebi više neće sjati! Glas zaručnika i zaručnice u tebi se više neće čuti! Jer trgovci tvoji bijahu velikaši zemlje i čaranja tvoja zavedoše sve narode;

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

i u tebi se našla krv proroka i svetaca i svih zaklanih na zemlji."
