Revelation 17
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgement of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
Ary tonga ny anjely anankiray tamin’ izy fito izay nanana ny lovia fito, dia niteny tamiko nanao hoe: Avia atỳ; dia hasehoko anao ny fitsarana ilay vehivavy janga lehibe, izay mipetraka eny ambonin’ ny rano maro,
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
dia ilay nijangajangan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny tany, sady natao leon’ ny divain’ ny fijangajangany ny mponina tamin’ ny tany.
3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-coloured beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
Dia nentiny tamin’ ny Fanahy ho any an’ efitra aho ary nahita vehivavy nitaingina bibi-dia mivolon-jaky, feno anarana fitenenan-dratsy sady nanan-doha fito sy tandroka folo.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.
Ary ravehivavy dia nitafy lamba volomparasy sy jaky ary niravaka volamena sy vato soa ary perila sady nitana kapoaka volamena teny an-tànany, feno zava-betaveta, dia ny zava-maloto momba ny fijangajangany;
5 And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
ary nisy anarana voasoratra teo amin’ ny handriny nanao hoe: ZAVA-MIAFINA, BABYLONA LEHIBE, RENIN’ NY MPIJANGAJANGA SY NY ZAVA-BETAVETA, AMIN’ NY TANY.
6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Ary hitako fa, indro, ravehivavy dia leon’ ny ran ny olona masìna sy ny ran’ ny martioran’ i Jesosy; koa raha nahita azy aho, dia gaga indrindra.
7 The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Ary hoy ilay anjely tamiko: Nahoana no gaga ianao? Izaho hilaza aminao ny zava-miafina ny amin-dravehivavy sy ny bibi-dia mitondra azy, izay manan-doha fito sy tandroka folo.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)
Ny bibi-dia, ilay efa hitanao, dia teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, nefa efa hiakatra avy amin’ ny lavaka tsy hita noanoa izy ka ho lasa ho amin’ ny fandringanana; ary ny monina ambonin’ ny tany, dia izay tsy voasoratra eo amin’ ny bokin’ ny fiainana hatramin’ ny nanorenana izao tontolo izao, dia ho gaga raha mijery ilay bibi-dia, izay teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, nefa mbola ho avy indray. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
Indro ny hevitra iray misy fahendrena: Ny loha fito dia tendrombohitra fito, izay ipetrahan-dravehivavy.
10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
Ary mpanjaka fito ireo; efa lavo ny dimy, ka ny iray mbola eo ihany, ary ny iray koa mbola tsy tonga; ary rehefa tonga izy, dia tsy maintsy mitoetra kelikely.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
Ary ny bibi-dia izay teo ihany ary tsy eo izao, dia izy no naman’ ny fito mahavalo ary ka lasa ho amin’ ny fandringanana.
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
Ary ny tandroka folo, izay hitanao, dia mpanjaka folo izay tsy mbola nahazo fanjakana; fa mandray fahefana ho toa mpanjaka iray ora miaraka amin’ ny bibi-dia izy.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Ireo dia miray saina ka manome ny heriny sy ny fahefany ho an’ ilay bibi-dia.
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
Ireo dia hiady amin’ ny Zanak’ ondry, ary ny Zanak’ ondry haharesy azy, satria Tompon’ ny tompo sy Mpanjakan’ ny mpanjaka Izy, ary haharesy azy koa izay momba Azy, dia olona voantso sy voafidy ary mahatoky.
15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ny rano ela hitanao, izay ipetrahan’ ilay vehivavy janga, dia olona sy vahoaka betsaka sy firenena maro ary samy hafa fiteny.
16 The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
Ary ny tandroka folo sy ny bibi-dia izay efa hitanao, dia ireo no hankahala ilay vehivavy janga ka hahatsinontsinona azy sy hampitanjaka ary sy hihinana ny nofony ary handevona ny tenany amin’ ny afo.
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
Fa Andriamanitra efa nanome fo ireo hanatanteraka ny heviny sy hifanara-tsaina ary hanome ny fanjakany ho an’ ilay bibi-dia mandra-pahatanteraky ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
Ary ravehivavy, ilay hitanao, dia tanàna lehibe, izay manjaka amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny tany.
