Hoikeana 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1HELE mai la kekahi o na anela ehiku, ia lakou na hue ehiku, a kamailio mai ia'u, i mai la, Hele mai; na'u no e hoike aku ia oe i ke ahewaia o ka wahine hookamakama nui e noho ana maluna o na wai nui.
1Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
2Me ia no i moe kolohe ai na'lii o ka honua, a ua ona hoi ka poe e noho la ma ka honua i ka waina o kona moe kolohe ana.
2The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.”
3Kai ae la ia ia'u ma ka uhane a i ka waonahele; a ike aku la au he wahine e noho ana maluna o ka holoholona ula, paapu i na inoa o ke kuamuamu, ehiku ona poo a he umi pepeiaohao.
3And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
4Ua hoaahuia ka wahine i ka lole poni a me ka ula, ua hoonaniia e ke gula, a me ka pohaku maikai, a me na momi; he kiaha gula ma kona lima, ua piha i na mea hoopailua a me na mea paumaele o kona moe kolohe ana.
4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
5A ua palapalaia ka inoa ma kona lae, KA MEA HUNA, BABULONA NUI, KA MAKUWAHINE O NA WAHINE HOOKAMAKAMA A ME NA MEA HOOPAILUA O KA HONUA.
5And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6A ike aku la au i ua wahine la, ua ona i ke koko o ka poe haipule, a me ke koko o ka poe hoike aku ia Iesu; a i ko'u ike ana, kahaha aku la au, me ka manao kahaha nui loa.
6I could see that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and witnesses for Jesus. And I was utterly amazed at the sight of her.
7I mai la ka anela ia'u, No ke aha la oe e kahaha mai nei? Na'u no e hai aku ia oe i ka mea huna o ka wahine, a me ka holoholona nana ia i lawe, ehiku hoi ona mau poo, a he umi pepeiaohao.
7“Why are you so amazed?” said the angel. “I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
8O ka holoholona au i ike ai, mamua ia, i keia wa hoi, aole; a mahope e pii mai no ia mailoko mai o ka lua hohonu, a e hele ana i ka make. E kahaha hoi ka poe noho ma ka honua, ka poe aole i kakauia ko lakou inoa ma ka buke o ke ola mai ka hookumu ana mai o ka honua, i ko lakou ike ana i ka holoholona, i ka mea mamua, a i keia wa aole, a e noho ana hoi.
8The beast that you saw—it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. And those who dwell on the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet will be.
9Eia hoi ka naau akamai, Oia mau poo ehiku, ehiku ia mau puu o kahi a ka wahine e noho ai maluna iho o lakou.
9This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10Ehiku hoi alii. Elima o lakou i haule, a eia hoi kekahi, a o kekahi aole i hiki mai i neia wa: a hiki mai ia, e noho no ia i ka wa pokole.
10There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.
11A o ka holoholona, ka mea mamua, aole hoi i neia wa, oia ka walu, a no na mea ehiku no hoi ia, a ke hele aku nei i ka make.
11The beast that was, and now is not, is an eighth king, who belongs to the other seven and is going into destruction.
12A o na pepeiaohao he umi au i ike ai, he umi ia mau alii, i loaa ole ia lakou ke aupuni i neia wa; aka, e loaa no ia lakou ka mana, e like me na'lii, no ka hora hookahi, me ua holoholona la.
12The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings, along with the beast.
13Hookahi no a lakou nei manao, a e haawi no lakou i ko lakou mana a me ko lakou ikaika i ka holoholona.
13These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast.
14E kaua aku lakou nei i ke Keikihipa, a e lanakila mai ke Keikihipa maluna o lakou; no ka mea, oia ka Haku o na haku, a me ke Alii o na'lii; a o ka poe pu me ia, ua heaia mai lakou, a ua waeia hoi, a ua paulele pono.
14They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”
15I mai la kela ia'u, 0 na wai au i ike ai, o kahi noho ai a ka wahine hookamakama, oia na lahuikanaka, a me na lehulehu, a me na aupuni, a me na olelo.
15Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute was seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
16A o na pepeiaohao he umi au i ike ai, a me ka holoholona, e huhu lakou nei i ka wahine hookamakama, a e hao lakou ia ia, a e hele wale oia, a e ai hoi lakou i kona io, a e puhi aku ia ia i ke ahi.
16And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17No ka mea, ua haawi ke Akua na ko lakou naau e hana i kona makemake, a e lokahi ka manao e haawi i ko lakou aupuni i ka holoholona, a pau ka olelo a ke Akua i ka hookoia.
17For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
18A o ka wahine au i ike ai, oia ke kulanakauhale nui, e hooalii ana maluna o na'lii o ka honua.
18And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
