1 这些事以后， 我看见有另一位掌大权柄的天使， 从天上降下来， 他的荣光照亮了大地。 2 他用强有力的声音呼喊说： "倾倒了！ 大巴比伦倾倒了！ 成了鬼魔的住处， 各样污灵的监狱， 一切污秽可憎之雀鸟的牢笼， 3 因为各国都喝她淫乱烈怒的酒醉了； 地上的君王与她行淫， 世上的商人因她奢华挥霍就发了财。" 4 我听见另一个声音从天上来， 说： "出来吧！ 我的子民， 要从那城出来， 免得在她的罪上有分， 受她所受的灾难； 5 因为她的罪恶滔天， 神已经想起她的不义来。 6 她怎样待人， 你们也要怎样待她； 照着她所作的， 加倍报应她； 用她调酒的杯， 加倍调给她。 7 她怎样炫耀自己， 怎样奢华挥霍， 你们也要怎样给她痛苦悲哀。因为她心里常常说： ‘我坐着作女王， 我不是寡妇， 决不会看见悲哀。’ 8 因此， 在一日之内她的灾难必然来到， 就是死亡、悲哀和饥荒； 她还要在火中被烧掉， 因为审判她的主 神是大有能力的。 9 "地上的众王， 就是跟她一同行邪淫、骄奢无度的， 看见焚烧她的烟的时候， 就必为她痛哭捶胸。 10 他们因为害怕她所受的痛苦， 就远远地站着， 说： ‘有祸了！ 有祸了！ 这大城， 巴比伦， 这坚固的城啊！ 一时之间你的审判就来到了！ ’ 11 "地上的商人也为她悲哀痛哭， 因为没有人再买他们的货物： 12 就是金、银、宝石、珍珠； 细麻布、紫色布、丝绸、朱红色布； 各样香木， 各样象牙制品， 各样极贵重的木器、铜器、铁器、大理石制品； 13 肉桂、豆蔻、香料、香膏、乳香； 酒、油、面粉、麦子； 牛、羊、马、车、奴仆、人口。 14 你所贪恋的果子离开你了！ 一切珍馐美味、华丽的美物， 都从你那里消失， 再也找不到了！ 15 贩卖这些货物， 借着她发了财的商人， 因为害怕她受的痛苦， 就远远地站着， 痛哭悲哀， 16 说： ‘有祸了！ 有祸了！ 这大城啊！ 就是一向穿着细麻布、紫色、朱红色的衣服， 佩戴着金子、宝石和珍珠装饰的， 17 一时之间， 这么大的财富竟荡然无存！ ’"所有船长、旅客、水手， 以及凡是靠海谋生的， 都远远地站着。 18 他们看见了焚烧她的烟， 就喊叫说： ‘有哪一座城能与这大城相比呢？’ 19 他们又把尘土撒在自己头上， 痛哭悲哀， 喊着说： ‘有祸了！ 有祸了！ 这大城啊！ 凡是有船航行海上的， 都因这城的财宝发了财； 一时之间她竟成了荒场！ ’ 20 天哪， 你要因她欢喜！ 众圣徒、众使徒、众先知啊， 你们也要因她欢喜！ 因为 神已经在她身上为你们伸了冤。" 21 有一位大力的天使， 把一块好像大磨石一样的石头， 举起来拋在海里， 说： "巴比伦大城也必这样被猛力地拋下去， 决不能再找到了！ 22 弹琴、奏乐、吹笛、吹号的声音， 在你中间决不能再听到了！ 各样手艺技工， 在你中间决不能再找到了！ 推磨的声音， 在你中间决不能再听到了！ 23 灯的亮光， 在你中间决不能再照耀了！ 新郎新娘的声音， 在你中间决不能再听到了！ 你的商人一向都是地上的大人物， 万国都因你的邪术受了迷惑。 24 先知、圣徒和地上一切被杀的人的血， 都在这城里找到了！ "

1 And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory,2 and he did cry in might -- a great voice, saying, `Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,3 because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich.4 And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,5 because her sins did follow -- unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness.6 Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.7 `As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;8 because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her;9 and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning,10 from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment.11 `And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more;12 lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,13 and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.14 `And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing,16 and saying, Wo, wo, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls -- because in one hour so much riches were made waste!17 `And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood,18 and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city?19 and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste.20 `Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!`21 And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great millstone, and did cast [it] to the sea, saying, `Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found any more at all;22 and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any artizan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any more;23 and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,24 and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.`
