요한계시록17:1-18
[새번역]
1. 대접 일곱 개를 가진 그 일곱 천사 가운데 하나가 와서, 나에게 "이리로 오너라. 큰 바다 물 위에 앉은 큰 창녀가 받을 심판을 보여 주겠다.
2. 세상의 왕들이 그 여자와 더불어 음행을 하였고, 땅에 사는 사람들이 그 여자의 음행의 포도주에 취하였다" 하고 말하였습니다.
3. 그리고 그 천사는 성령으로 나를 휩싸서, 빈 들로 데리고 갔습니다. 나는 한 여자가 빨간 짐승을 타고 앉아 있는 것을 보았는데, 그 짐승은 하나님을 모독하는 이름들로 가득하였고, 머리 일곱과 뿔 열 개가 달려 있었습니다.
4. 이 여자는 자주색과 빨간색 옷을 입고 금과 보석과 진주로 꾸미고, 손에는 금잔을 들고 있었는데, 그 속에는 가증한 것들과 자기 음행의 더러운 것들이 가득하였습니다.
5. 그리고 이마에는 '땅의 음녀들과 가증한 것들의 어미, 큰 바빌론'이라는 비밀의 이름이 적혀 있었습니다.
6. 그리고 나는 그 여자가 성도들의 피와 예수의 증인들의 피에 취하여 있는 것을 보았습니다. 내가 그 여자를 보고 크게 놀라니,
7. 그 때에 천사가 나에게 말하였습니다. "왜 놀라느냐? 나는 이 여자의 비밀과, 이 여자를 태우고 다니는 머리 일곱과 뿔 열이 달린 그 짐승의 비밀을, 너에게 말하여 주겠다.
8. 네가 본 그 짐승은, 전에는 있었지만 지금은 없으며, 장차 아비소스에서 올라와서, 나중에는 멸망하여 버릴 자다. 그리고 땅 위에 사는 사람들 가운데 창세 때로부터 생명책에 이름이 적혀 있지 않은 사람들은, 그 짐승을 보고 놀랄 것이다. 그것은, 그 짐승이 전에는 있었다가, 지금은 없으나, 장차 다시 나타날 것이기 때문이다.
9. 여기에 지혜를 가진 마음이 필요하다. 머리 일곱은 그 여자가 타고 앉은 일곱 산이요, 또한 일곱 왕이다.
10. 그 가운데서 다섯은 이미 망하고, 하나는 있고, 또 다른 하나는 아직 나타나지 않았다. 그것이 나타날지라도, 잠깐밖에 머물지 못할 것이다.
11. 또 전에 있다가 지금은 없는 그 짐승은 여덟 번째인데, 그것은 그 일곱 가운데 속한 것으로서, 마침내 멸망하여 버릴 자다.
12. 네가 본 열 뿔은 열 왕이다. 그들은 아직 나라를 차지하지 못하였지만, 그 짐승과 함께 한동안 왕권을 차지할 것이다.
13. 그들은 한 마음이 되어서, 그들의 능력과 권세를 그 짐승에게 내줄 것이다.
14. 그들이 어린 양에게 싸움을 걸 터인데, 어린 양이 그들을 이길 것이다. 그것은, 어린 양이 만주의 주요 만왕의 왕이기 때문이며, 어린 양과 함께 있는 사람들이, 부르심을 받고 택하심을 받은 신실한 사람들이기 때문이다."
15. 천사가 또 나에게 말하였습니다. "네가 본 물 곧 그 창녀가 앉아 있는 물은, 백성들과 무리들과 민족들과 언어들이다.
16. 그리고 네가 본 그 열 뿔과 그 짐승은, 그 창녀를 미워해서 비참하게 만들고, 벌거벗은 꼴로 만들 것이다. 그들은 그 창녀의 살을 삼키고, 그 여자를 불에 태울 것이다.
17. 그것은, 하나님께서 당신의 말씀을 이루실 때까지, 당신의 뜻을 행하려는 마음을 그들에게 주셔서, 그들이 한 마음이 되어 그들의 나라를 그 짐승에게 주게 하셨기 때문이다.
18. 네가 본 그 여자는, 세상의 임금들을 다스리는 통치권을 가진 큰 도시를 가리킨다."
[NIV]
1. One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
2. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."
3. Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
4. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.
5. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.
7. Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
8. The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.
9. "This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.
10. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while.
11. The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
12. "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
13. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.
14. They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."
15. Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
16. The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.
18. The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
1. και ηλθεν εις εκ των επτα αγγελων των εχοντων τας επτα φιαλας και ελαλησεν μετ εμου λεγων μοι δευρο δειξω σοι το κριμα της πορνης της μεγαλης της καθημενης επι των υδατων των πολλων
2. μεθ ης επορνευσαν οι βασιλεις της γης και εμεθυσθησαν εκ του οινου της πορνειας αυτης οι κατοικουντες την γην
3. και απηνεγκεν με εις ερημον εν πνευματι και ειδον γυναικα καθημενην επι θηριον κοκκινον γεμον ονοματων βλασφημιας εχον κεφαλας επτα και κερατα δεκα
4. και η γυνη ην περιβεβλημενη πορφυρα και κοκκινω και κεχρυσωμενη χρυσω και λιθω τιμιω και μαργαριταις εχουσα χρυσουν ποτηριον εν τη χειρι αυτης γεμον βδελυγματων και ακαθαρτητος πορνειας αυτης
5. και επι το μετωπον αυτης ονομα γεγραμμενον μυστηριον βαβυλων η μεγαλη η μητηρ των πορνων και των βδελυγματων της γης
6. και ειδον την γυναικα μεθυουσαν εκ του αιματος των αγιων και εκ του αιματος των μαρτυρων ιησου και εθαυμασα ιδων αυτην θαυμα μεγα
7. και ειπεν μοι ο αγγελος δια τι εθαυμασας εγω σοι ερω το μυστηριον της γυναικος και του θηριου του βασταζοντος αυτην του εχοντος τας επτα κεφαλας και τα δεκα κερατα
8. το θηριον ο ειδες ην και ουκ εστιν και μελλει αναβαινειν εκ της αβυσσου και εις απωλειαν υπαγειν και θαυμασονται οι κατοικουντες επι της γης ων ου γεγραπται τα ονοματα επι το βιβλιον της ζωης απο καταβολης κοσμου βλεποντες το θηριον ο τι ην και ουκ εστιν καιπερ εστιν
9. ωδε ο νους ο εχων σοφιαν αι επτα κεφαλαι ορη εισιν επτα οπου η γυνη καθηται επ αυτων
10. και βασιλεις επτα εισιν οι πεντε επεσαν και ο εις εστιν ο αλλος ουπω ηλθεν και οταν ελθη ολιγον αυτον δει μειναι
11. και το θηριον ο ην και ουκ εστιν και αυτος ογδοος εστιν και εκ των επτα εστιν και εις απωλειαν υπαγει
12. και τα δεκα κερατα α ειδες δεκα βασιλεις εισιν οιτινες βασιλειαν ουπω ελαβον αλλ εξουσιαν ως βασιλεις μιαν ωραν λαμβανουσιν μετα του θηριου
13. ουτοι μιαν γνωμην εχουσιν και την δυναμιν και την εξουσιαν εαυτων τω θηριω διαδιδωσουσιν
14. ουτοι μετα του αρνιου πολεμησουσιν και το αρνιον νικησει αυτους οτι κυριος κυριων εστιν και βασιλευς βασιλεων και οι μετ αυτου κλητοι και εκλεκτοι και πιστοι
15. και λεγει μοι τα υδατα α ειδες ου η πορνη καθηται λαοι και οχλοι εισιν και εθνη και γλωσσαι
16. και τα δεκα κερατα α ειδες επι το θηριον ουτοι μισησουσιν την πορνην και ηρημωμενην ποιησουσιν αυτην και γυμνην και τας σαρκας αυτης φαγονται και αυτην κατακαυσουσιν εν πυρι
17. ο γαρ θεος εδωκεν εις τας καρδιας αυτων ποιησαι την γνωμην αυτου και ποιησαι μιαν γνωμην και δουναι την βασιλειαν αυτων τω θηριω αχρι τελεσθη τα ρηματα του θεου
18. και η γυνη ην ειδες εστιν η πολις η μεγαλη η εχουσα βασιλειαν επι των βασιλεων της γης
