17  Quemaj ohuajlaj semej on chicome ilhuicactequitquetl yejhuan quipiayaj on chicome copas, niman onechijlij:

―Xhuajla, niman nimitzititis quen Dios quitlajtlacolmacas niman quicastigaros on hueyi tlacapajpatlaquetl yejhuan yehuaticaj ipan nochi on mares. On reyes yejhuan nemij ipan in tlalticpactli ihuan yejhua ocojcochquej. Niman on chanejquej ipan on tlalticpactli otlahuanquej ican ivino. Ivino quijtosnequi on tlacapajpatlalistli yejhuan oquichiu.

Quemaj on Espíritu Santo oquiyecan notlamachilis niman on ilhuicactequitquetl onechhuicac ne tlapatlaco. Ompa, tej, oniquitac se sihuatl yeticatca ipan se xcuajli yolqui. On xcuajli yolqui chichiltic tlajtlachaya niman nochi itlacayo tenticatca ican tocayomej yejhuan cuijhuicaltiayaj Dios. On xcuajli yolqui chicome itzontecon quipiaya niman majtlactli icuacuau. Yejhua on sihuatl tlaquemej catca ican se tlaquentli yejhuan quipiaya on tlapalyo morado niman chichiltic. On itlaquen tlajmachyoj catca ican oro, ican cualtetzitzintin temej, niman ican perlas. Yejhua quimapixticatca se copa yejhuan tlachijchiutli ican oro. On copa tenticatca ican on tlen sanoyej molonqui ijtlacauqui niman ica on tlen sanoyej tetlajyeloj xchipahuac yejhuan onosentlalij ica itlacapajpatlalis. Niman ipan ixcuateu on sihuatl tlajcuilolnestiaya se tocayotl yejhuan xacaj cajsicamatiya tlinon quijtosnequi. On tocayotl ijquin quijtohuaya: “On hueyixticaj Babilonia yejhua innan nochimej on tlacapajpatlaquej niman nochi on tlen sanoyej molonqui ijtlacauqui ipan on tlalticpactli.” Quemaj oniquitac ica on sihuatl tlahuanqui catca ican inyesyo on iyaxcahuan Dios niman ican inyesyo on yejhuan omiquej pampa cuajli otenojnotzquej itech ica Jesús. Ijcuac ijcon oniquitac, sanoyej onimojcatlachix. Quemaj on ilhuicactequitquetl onechijlij:

―¿Tlica yotimojcatlachix? Nejhua nimitzmachiltis iichtacalis on sihuatl, niman on xcuajli yolqui yejhuan ipan yetinemi yejhuan quipia on chicome itzontecon niman on majtlactli icuacuau. On xcuajli yolqui yejhuan otiquitac, sa no yejhua on yejhuan achtoj yolticatca, pero aman xoc yolticaj. Niman masqui xoc yolticaj yejhua huajquisas ne ijtic on pozo yejhuan xnejsi quech ica huejcatlan, niman quemaj sa yeyica quixotonisquej. Desde ijcuac otzimpeu on tlalticpactli ye oncatca se tlajcuilolamatl campa nesticatca intoca on tlacamej yejhuan quipiasquej nemilistli para nochipa. Pero on tlacamej yejhuan xtlajcuilolnesticaj intoca ipan on tlajcuilolamatl, mojcatlachasquej ijcuac quitasquej on xcuajli yolqui. Yejhuamej mojcatlachasquej pampa on xcuajli yolqui yolticatca niman aman xoc yolticaj. Pero ocsejpa huajlas.

'Ipan in nonequi se tlamatquilistli yejhuan quipia cajsicamatilistli. On chicomemej tzontecomamej quijtosnequi on chicomemej tepemej yejhuan on sihuatl impan yehuaticaj. 10 Niman no sa no on tzontecomamej no quijtosnequi chicomemej reyes. Macuiltimej yejhuamej yomiquej. Niman se de yejhuamej tlamandarojticaj, niman on ocse hasta aman xhuajlau. Pero ijcuac huajlas on yejhuan sa ica nochi rey, yejhua xoc huejcahuis tlamandaros. 11 On xcuajli yolqui yejhuan yolticatca niman aman xoc yolticaj sa no yejhua on ica chicueyi rey.

Niman on yejhuan nemij ihuan on Borreguito, Dios oquinnotz niman oquintlapejpenij, niman cuajli onohuicaquej ihuan on Borreguito.

15 On ilhuicactequitquetl no ijquin onechijlij:

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) With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”(F)

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) 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) The name written on her forehead was a mystery:(O)

babylon the great(P)

the mother of prostitutes(Q)

and of the abominations of the earth.

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. 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) 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.

“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.”
