Opinberun Jóhannesar 17
Icelandic Bible
17 Og einn af englunum sjö, sem halda á skálunum sjö, kom til mín og sagði: "Kom hingað, og ég mun sýna þér dóminn yfir skækjunni miklu, sem er við vötnin mörgu.
2 Konungar jarðarinnar hafa drýgt saurlifnað með henni, og þeir, sem á jörðinni búa, hafa orðið drukknir af saurlifnaðar víni hennar."
3 Og hann leiddi mig burt í anda á eyðimörk. Og ég sá konu sitja á skarlatsrauðu dýri, alsettu guðlöstunar nöfnum, og hafði það sjö höfuð og tíu horn.
4 Og konan var skrýdd purpura og skarlati, og var búin gulli og gimsteinum og perlum. Hún hafði í hendi sér gullbikar, fullan viðurstyggðar, og var það óhreinleikur saurlifnaðar hennar.
5 Og á enni hennar var ritað nafn, sem er leyndardómur: Babýlon hin mikla, móðir hórkvenna og viðurstyggða jarðarinnar.
6 Og ég sá að konan var drukkin af blóði hinna heilögu og af blóði Jesú votta. Og ég undraðist stórlega, er ég leit hana.
7 Og engillinn sagði við mig: "Hví ertu forviða? Ég mun segja þér leyndardóm konunnar og dýrsins, sem hana ber, þess er hefur höfuðin sjö og hornin tíu:
8 Dýrið, sem þú sást, var, en er ekki, og það mun stíga upp frá undirdjúpinu og fara til glötunar. Og þeir, sem á jörðu búa, þeir, sem eiga ekki nöfn sín skrifuð í lífsins bók frá grundvöllun veraldar, munu undrast, er þeir sjá dýrið sem var og er ekki og kemur aftur.
9 Hér reynir á skilning og speki. Höfuðin sjö eru sjö fjöll, sem konan situr á. Það eru líka sjö konungar.
10 Fimm eru fallnir, einn er nú uppi, annar er ókominn og er hann kemur á hann að vera stutt.
11 Og dýrið, sem var, en er ekki, er einmitt hinn áttundi, og er af þeim sjö, og fer til glötunar.
12 Og hornin tíu, sem þú sást, eru tíu konungar, sem enn hafa eigi tekið konungdóm, heldur fá vald sem konungar eina stund ásamt dýrinu.
13 Þessir hafa allir eitt ráð, og máttinn og vald sitt gefa þeir dýrinu.
14 Þessir munu heyja stríð við lambið. Og lambið og þeir, sem með því eru, hinir kölluðu og útvöldu og trúu, munu sigra þá, _ því að lambið er Drottinn drottna og konungur konunga."
15 Og hann segir við mig: "Vötnin, sem þú sást, þar sem skækjan situr, eru lýðir og fólk, þjóðir og tungur.
16 Og hornin tíu, sem þú sást, og dýrið, munu hata skækjuna og gjöra hana einmana og nakta, eta hold hennar og brenna hana í eldi,
17 því að Guð hefur lagt þeim í brjóst að gjöra vilja sinn og vera samráða og gefa ríki þeirra dýrinu, allt til þess er orð Guðs koma fram.
18 Og konan, sem þú sást, er borgin mikla, sem heldur ríki yfir konungum jarðarinnar."

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast
17 One of the seven angels(A) who had the seven bowls(B) came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment(C) of the great prostitute,(D) who sits by many waters.(E) 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”(F)
3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit(G) into a wilderness.(H) There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet(I) beast that was covered with blasphemous names(J) and had seven heads and ten horns.(K) 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls.(L) She held a golden cup(M) in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.(N) 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:(O)
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people,(R) 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(S) of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.(T) 8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss(U) and go to its destruction.(V) The inhabitants of the earth(W) whose names have not been written in the book of life(X) from the creation of the world will be astonished(Y) when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom.(Z) The seven heads(AA) 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 only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not,(AB) is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
12 “The ten horns(AC) you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour(AD) will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.(AE) 14 They will wage war(AF) against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over(AG) them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings(AH)—and with him will be his called, chosen(AI) and faithful followers.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters(AJ) you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.(AK) 16 The beast and the ten horns(AL) you saw will hate the prostitute.(AM) They will bring her to ruin(AN) and leave her naked;(AO) they will eat her flesh(AP) and burn her with fire.(AQ) 17 For God has put it into their hearts(AR) to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority,(AS) until God’s words are fulfilled.(AT) 18 The woman you saw is the great city(AU) that rules over the kings of the earth.”

17 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
