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.

Apre sa, mwen wè yon lòt zanj desann soti nan sièl la. Li te gen gwo pouvwa nan men li. Li te klere byen bèl, li klere tout latè.

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.

Li t'ap pale byen fò, li t'ap di konsa: Li tonbe! Gwo lavil Babilòn lan tonbe! Koulye a, se la denmon rete. Se la tout kalite move lespri al kache kò yo. Se la tout kalite vie zwazo ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye, zwazo moun fèt pou rayi, rete.

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.

Paske, li fè tout nasyon yo bwè nan diven l' lan, diven gwo imoralite l' la. Wa latè yo lage kò yo nan dezòd ansanm avè li. Tout kòmèsan latè yo rich sou tèt li, pou kantite lajan li depanse nan banbòch.

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.

Apre sa, mwen tande yon lòt vwa ki t'ap soti nan sièl la, li t'ap di: Nou menm pèp mwen, wete kò nou nan mitan lavil sa a, pou nou pa patisipe nan peche l' yo, pou nou pa tonbe ansanm avè l' anba kalamite ki pral frape li yo.

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

Paske, peche l' yo fè pil sou pil rive jouk nan sièl la. Bondye chonje tou sa li fè ki mal.

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.

Se pou n' aji avè l' menm jan li te aji avèk nou. Pou tou sa li fè yo, n'a peye l' de fwa lavalè. Plen gode l' ak yon gwòg de fwa pi fò pase sa l' te pare pou nou an.

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.

Jan li fè lwanj tèt li, jan li pran plezi l', se konsa tou pou n' fè l' soufri, pou nou ba l' anpil lapenn. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Kote m' chita a, se larenn mwen ye. Mwen pa pèdi mari m', mwen p'ap janm gen lapenn.

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.

Se poutèt sa, tout kalamite l' yo ap tonbe sou li yon sèl jou: gwo maladi, lapenn ak grangou. Dife ap boule li nèt. Paske, Bondye k'ap jije l' la se yon Mèt ki gen pouvwa.

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,

Tout wa latè ki te lage kò yo nan fè imoralite ak nan pran plezi avè l' yo pral rele, yo pral kriye, yo pral plenn sò lavil la, lè y'a wè lafimen dife k'ap boule l' la.

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.

Y'a rete byen lwen tèlman yo pral pè l' y'a wè jan li pral soufri a. Y'a di konsa: Gade yon malè! Ala malè pou gwo lavil la! Ou menm Babilòn, lavil ki fò a, yon sèl moman kont pou peni ou!

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

Kòmèsan latè yo tou t'ap rele, yo t'ap kriye pou li, paske pa t' gen pesonn ankò pou achte machandiz yo:

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,

lò, ajan, bèl piè ki koute chè ak bèl grenn pèl, bèl twal fen, twal koulè violèt, twal koulè wouj, bèl swa, tout kalite bèl bwa ki santi bon, tout kalite bagay ki fèt an ivwa, an bwa ki koute chè, an asie, an fè ak an mab,

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.

kannèl, epis, odè, mir ak lansan, diven ak lwil, farin frans ak diri, bèf ak mouton, chwal ak bèl cha pou moun woule, esklav ak nanm moun.

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.

Kòmèsan yo t'ap di lavil la: Tout bèl machandiz ou te vle genyen yo disparèt lakay ou. Ou pèdi tout richès ou yo ak tout bèl bagay ou te gen an kantite. Ou p'ap janm jwenn yo ankò!

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

Kòmèsan ki te fin rich nan fè kòmès nan lavil la va rete byen lwen, tèlman yo pral pè jan li pral soufri a. Y'a plenn sò li, y'a kriye,

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!

y'a di: Gade yon malè! Ala malè pou gwo lavil la! Pou jan li te abiye ak twal koulè violèt, twal fin koulè wouj! Pou jan l' te chaje ak bijou an lò, ak bèl piè ki koute chè ak bèl grenn pèl!

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,

Yon sèl moman kont pou l' te pèdi tout richès sa yo! Tout kaptenn bato ak pasaje yo, marin yo ansanm ak tout moun k'ap chache lavi yo sou lanmè, yo tout te rete byen lwen.

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

Lè yo wè lafimen dife ki t'ap boule lavil la, yo pran rele: pa t' gen okenn lòt lavil ki te tankou gwo lavil sa a!

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.

Yo pran tè jete sou tèt yo, yo t'ap kriye, yo t'ap plenn, yo t'ap rele: Gade yon malè! Ala malè pou gwo lavil la! Tout moun ki gen bato sou lanmè te fin rich ak richès li yo. Nan yon sèl moman li pèdi tout sa l' te genyen!

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

Ou menm, sièl la, ou mèt kontan pou sa ki rive lavil la! Nou menm pèp Bondye a, apòt yo, pwofèt yo, nou mèt kontan tou! Paske, Bondye peni li pou sa l' te fè nou.

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.

Lè sa a, yon zanj ki te gwonèg anpil pran yon wòch gwosè yon wòl moulen, li jete l' nan lanmè a. Li di: Se konsa yo pral jete gwo lavil Babilòn lan atè ak fòs. Pesonn p'ap janm wè l' ankò.

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;

Yo p'ap janm tande mizik mizisyen ki konn jwe gita, fif ak klewon lakay ou. Yo p'ap jwenn okenn ouvriye pou fè okenn metie. Yo p'ap tande bri moulen mayi yo ankò.

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.

Okenn lanp p'ap janm klere lakay ou ankò. Yo p'ap janm tande vwa lemarie ak lamarye ankò. Kòmèsan ou yo, se yo ki te pi grannèg sou latè. Avèk maji ou yo, ou te twonpe tout nasyon yo.

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

Yo peni Babilòn, paske se la yo te jwenn san pwofèt yo ak san pèp Bondye a, ansanm ak san tout moun yo te touye sou latè.
