Καὶ ἦλθεν εἷς ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων τῶν ἐχόντων τὰς ἑπτὰ φιάλας καὶ ἐλάλησεν μετ' ἐμοῦ λέγων μοι Δεῦρο δείξω σοι τὸ κρίμα τῆς πόρνης τῆς μεγάλης τῆς καθημένης ἐπὶ τῶν ὑδάτων τῶν πολλῶν
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:
וְלָכֵן הִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי מַעֲלֶה עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת-מֵי הַנָּהָר הָעֲצוּמִים וְהָרַבִּים אֶת-מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וְאֶת-כָּל-כְּבוֹדוֹ וְעָלָה עַל-כָּל-אֲפִיקָיו וְהָלַךְ עַל-כָּל-גְּדוֹתָֽיו׃
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
כִּֽי-שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת-בָּבֶל וְאִבַּד מִמֶּנָּה קוֹל גָּדוֹל וְהָמוּ גַלֵּיהֶם כְּמַיִם רַבִּים נִתַּן שְׁאוֹן קוֹלָֽם׃
Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
שֹׁכַנְתְּי עַל-מַיִם רַבִּים רַבַּת אֽוֹצָרֹת בָּא קִצֵּךְ אַמַּת בִּצְעֵֽךְ׃
O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת׀ יְֽהוָה נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָֽם׃
The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
καὶ λέγει μοι Δεῖ σε πάλιν προφητεῦσαι ἐπὶ λαοῖς καὶ ἔθνεσιν καὶ γλώσσαις καὶ βασιλεῦσιν πολλοῖς
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
עָלָה עַל-בָּבֶל הַיָּם בַּהֲמוֹן גַּלָּיו נִכְסָֽתָה׃
The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
καὶ βλέψουσιν ἐκ τῶν λαῶν καὶ φυλῶν καὶ γλωσσῶν καὶ ἐθνῶν τὰ πτώματα αὐτῶν ἡμέρας τρεῖς καὶ ἥμισυ καὶ τὰ πτώματα αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀφήσουσιν τεθῆναι εἰς μνῆματα
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
מַשְׁבִּיחַ׀ שְׁאוֹן יַמִּים שְׁאוֹן גַּלֵּיהֶם וַהֲמוֹן לְאֻמִּֽים׃
Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
אֲפָפוּנִי חֶבְלֵי-מָוֶת וְֽנַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַֽעֲתֽוּנִי׃
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ πόλεμον ποιῆσαι μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ νικῆσαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν φυλὴν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ ἔθνος
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
