Apokalipsia 17
1 Orduan ethor cedin çazpi ampolác cituztén çazpi Aingueruetaric bat, eta minça cedin enequin, ciostala, Athor, eracutsiren drauat anhitz vren gainean iarriric dagoen paillarda handiaren damnationea:
Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls came and spoke to me. “Come here,” he said, “and I will show you the sentence passed on that Great Harlot who is seated at the meeting of many waters,
2 Ceinequin paillardatu baitute lurreco reguéc, eta haren paillardiçazco mahatsarnoaz horditu içan baitirade lurreco habitantac.
and with whom all the kings of the earth have had licentious intercourse; while all who live on the earth have been make drunk by the wine of her licentiousness.”
3 Eta spirituz desertu batetara eraman nençan: eta ikus neçan emaztebat, bestia escarlata coloretaco, blasphemiotaco icenez bethe, çazpi buru eta hamar adar cituen baten gainean iarria.
And he bore me away in a trance to a lonely place, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet Beast, which was covered with blasphemous names; it had seven heads and ten horns.
4 Eta emaztea cen abillatua pourpraz eta escarlataz, eta vrrhestatua vrrhez, eta appaindua harri preciatuz eta perlaz, copa vrrhezcobat bere paillardiçaco abominationez eta satsutassunez bethea bere escuan çuela.
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold ornaments, precious stones, and pearls. In her hand she held a gold cup, full of idolatrous abominations, and the unclean fruits of her licentiousness;
5 Eta bere belarrean icen-bat scribaturic, Mysterio, Babylon handia, lurreco paillardicén eta abominationén amá.
while on her forehead there was written this mystic name – “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF ALL IDOLATROUS ABOMINATIONS ON EARTH.”
6 Eta ikus neçan emaztea sainduén odolaz, eta Iesusen martyroén odolaz horditua, eta hura ikussiric, mireste handiz mirets neçan.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of Christ’s people and with the blood of the martyrs for Jesus. When I saw her, I was amazed beyond measure;
7 Eta erran cieçadan Aingueruäc, Cergatic miresten duc? nic erranen drauat emaztearen, eta hura ekarten duen bestia çazpi burutacoaren eta hamar adarretacoaren mysterioa.
but the angel said to me – “Why were you amazed? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the vision of this woman, and of the Beast, with the seven heads and ten horns, that carries her.
8 Ikussi vkan duán bestiá, içan duc, eta eztuc guehiagoric: eta igaiteco duc abysmetic, eta perditionetara ioaiteco: eta miretsiren dié lurreco habitantéc (ceinén icenac ezpaitirade scribatuac vicitzeco liburuän munduaren hatseandanic) dacussatenean bestiá, cein baitzén, eta ezpaita, eta alabaina baita. (Abyssos g12)
The Beast that you saw was, but is not, and is about to rise out of the bottomless pit, and is on its way to destruction. Those who are living on earth will be amazed – those whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world – when they see that the Beast was, but is not, and yet will come.” (Abyssos g12)
9 Hemen da adimendu sapientia duena. Çazpi buruäc, çazpi mendiac dirade ceinén gainean emaztea iarria baita.
(Here there is need for the discerning mind.) The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated.
10 Eta regueac çazpi dirade: borzac erori dirade, eta bat bada, bercea ezta oraino ethorri: eta dathorrenean behar du harc dembora appurbat egon.
They are also seven kings; of whom five have fallen and one remains, while one is not yet come. When he comes, he must stay for a little while.
11 Eta bestiá cein baitzén, eta ezpaita, hura çortzigarren reguea da, eta çazpietaric da, eta galtzera doa.
So must the Beast that was, but is not. He counts as an eighth king, although he is one of the seven, and is on his way to destruction.
12 Eta hamar adar ikussi dituánac, hamar regue dituc ceinéc resumá ezpaitute oraino hartu, baina bothere regue beçala oren batez harturen dié bestiarequin.
The ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms, but for an hour they receive the authority of kings, together with the Beast.
13 Hauc conseillu berbat dié, eta bere puissançá eta authoritatea bestiari emanen diarocoé.
These kings are of one mind in surrendering their power and authority to the Beast.
14 Hauc bildotsaren contra combatituren dituc, eta Bildotsa garaithuren ciayec: ecen iaunén Iaun duc, eta reguén Regue: eta harequin diradenac dituc deithuac eta elegituac eta fidelac.
They will fight with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; so, too, will those with him who have received the call and are chosen and faithful.
15 Guero erran cieçadan, Ikussi dituán vrac, non paillardá iarria baita, dituc populuac, eta tropelac, eta gendeac, eta mihiac.
And the angel said to me – “The waters that you saw, where the Harlot is seated, are throngs of people and men of all nations and languages.
16 Eta bestián ikussi dituán hamar adarrac dituc paillardari gaitz eritziren draucatenac, eta hura desolaturen dié eta haren haraguia ianen eta bera, suan erreren dié.
The ten horns that you saw, and the Beast – they will hate the Harlot, and cause her to become deserted and strip her bare; they will eat her flesh and utterly consume her with fire.
17 Ecen Iaincoac eçarri dic hayén bihotzetan, eguin deçaten harc placer duena, eta consenti ditecen, eta eman dieçoten bere resumá bestiari Iaincoaren hitzac compli daitezqueno.
For God has put it into their minds to carry out his purpose, in carrying out their common purpose and surrendering their kingdoms to the Beast, until God’s decrees will be executed.
18 Eta ikussi vkan duän emaztea duc Ciuitate handi hura ceinec baitu bere resumá lurreco reguén gainean.
As for the woman whom you saw, she is the great city that holds sway over all the kings of the earth.”
