Hoikeana 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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.
1And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon 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.
2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth, have been made drunk with the whine of her whoredom.
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 he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having 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.
4And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.
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 name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and 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.
6And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.
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.
7And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath 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, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not.
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.
9And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are seven kings:
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.
10Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time.
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.
11And the beast which was, and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth 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.
12And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after 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 have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver 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.
14These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful.
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.
15And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, 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 which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall 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 hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be 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 which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
