啟示錄 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1此後，我看見另有一位有大權柄的天使從天降下，地就因他的榮耀發光。
1After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.
2他大聲喊着說： 巴比倫 大城傾倒了！傾倒了！ 成了鬼魔的住處 和各樣污穢之靈的巢穴， 並各樣污穢可憎之雀鳥的巢穴。
2And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.
3因為列國都被她邪淫大怒的酒傾倒了。 地上的君王與她行淫； 地上的客商因她奢華太過就發了財。
3All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”
4我又聽見從天上有聲音說： 我的民哪，你們要從那城出來， 免得與她一同有罪，受她所受的災殃；
4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.
5因她的罪惡滔天； 她的不義，上帝已經想起來了。
5For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6她怎樣待人，也要怎樣待她， 按她所行的加倍地報應她； 用她調酒的杯加倍地調給她 喝 。
6Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup.
7她怎樣榮耀自己，怎樣奢華， 也當叫她照樣痛苦悲哀， 因她心裏說： 我坐了皇后的位， 並不是寡婦， 決不至於悲哀。
7As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’
8所以在一天之內， 她的災殃要一齊來到， 就是死亡、悲哀、饑荒。 她又要被火燒盡了， 因為審判她的主上帝大有能力。
8Therefore her plagues will come in one day— death and grief and famine— and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”
9地上的君王，素來與她行淫、一同奢華的，看見燒她的煙，就必為她哭泣哀號。
9Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.
10因怕她的痛苦，就遠遠地站着說：哀哉！哀哉！ 巴比倫 大城，堅固的城啊， 一時之間你的刑罰就來到了。
10In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, the mighty city of Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
11地上的客商也都為她哭泣悲哀，因為沒有人再買他們的貨物了；
11And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo—
12這貨物就是金、銀、寶石、珍珠、細麻布、紫色料、綢子、朱紅色料、各樣香木、各樣象牙的器皿、各樣極寶貴的木頭，和銅、鐵、漢白玉的器皿，
12cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
13並肉桂、荳蔻、香料、香膏、乳香、酒、油、細麵、麥子、牛、羊、車、馬，和奴僕、人口。
13of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots; of slaves and souls of men.
14巴比倫 哪，你所貪愛的果子離開了你； 你一切的珍饈美味 和華美的物件也從你中間毀滅， 決不能再見了。
14And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be seen again.”
15販賣這些貨物、藉着她發了財的客商，因怕她的痛苦，就遠遠地站着哭泣悲哀，說：
15The merchants who sold these things and grew their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn,
16哀哉！哀哉！這大城啊， 素常穿着細麻、 紫色、朱紅色的衣服， 又用金子、寶石，和珍珠為妝飾。
16saying: “Woe, woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17一時之間，這麼大的富厚就歸於無有了。 凡船主和坐船往各處去的，並眾水手，連所有靠海為業的，都遠遠地站着，
17For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor, and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance
18看見燒她的煙，就喊着說：「有何城能比這大城呢？」
18and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will exclaim.
19他們又把塵土撒在頭上，哭泣悲哀，喊着說： 哀哉！哀哉！這大城啊。 凡有船在海中的，都因她的珍寶成了富足！ 她在一時之間就成了荒場！
19Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”
20天哪，眾聖徒、眾使徒、眾先知啊， 你們都要因她歡喜， 因為上帝已經在她身上伸了你們的冤。
20Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.
21有一位大力的天使舉起一塊石頭，好像大磨石，扔在海裏，說： 巴比倫 大城也必這樣猛力地被扔下去， 決不能再見了。
21Then a mighty angel picked up a stone the size of a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be cast down, never to be seen again.
22彈琴、作樂、吹笛、吹號的聲音， 在你中間決不能再聽見； 各行手藝人在你中間決不能再遇見； 推磨的聲音在你中間決不能再聽見；
22And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will never ring out in you again. Nor will any craftsmen of any trade be found in you again, nor the sound of a millstone be heard in you again.
23燈光在你中間決不能再照耀； 新郎和新婦的聲音，在你中間決不能再聽見。 你的客商原來是地上的尊貴人； 萬國也被你的邪術迷惑了。
23The light of a lamp will never shine in you again, and the voices of a bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”
24先知和聖徒，並地上一切被殺之人的血，都在這城裏看見了。
24And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.
