Revelation 17

Revised Literal Translation

1AndG2532 there cameG2064 oneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588G32 sevenG2033 angelsG3588G32 which hadG3588G2192 theG3588G5357 sevenG2033 vialsG3588G5357, andG2532 talkedG2980 withG3326 meG1473, sayingG3004 unto meG1473, Come hitherG1204; I will shewG1166 unto theeG4771 the judgmentG3588G2917 of the greatG3588G3173 whoreG3588G4204 that sittethG3588G2521 uponG1909 manyG3588G4183 watersG3588G5204: 2WithG3326 whomG3739 the kingsG3588G935 of the earthG3588G1093 have committed fornicationG4203, andG2532 the inhabitantsG2730 of the earthG3588G1093 have been made drunkG3182 withG1537 the wineG3588G3631 of herG846 fornicationG3588G4202. 3SoG2532 he carriedG667 meG1473 away inG1722 the spiritG4151 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048: andG2532 I sawG3708 a womanG1135 sitG2521 uponG1909 a scarlet colouredG2847 beastG2342, fullG1073 of namesG3686 of blasphemyG988, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768. 4AndG2532 the womanG3588G1135 wasG1510 arrayed inG4016 purpleG4209 andG2532 scarlet colourG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 with goldG5557 andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037 andG2532 pearlsG3135, havingG2192 a goldenG5552 cupG4221 inG1722 herG846 handG3588G5495 fullG1073 of abominationsG946 andG2532 filthinessG168 of herG846 fornicationG4202: 5

AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3588G3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3588G3384 OF HARLOTSG3588G4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG3588G946 OF THE EARTHG3588G1093. 6

AndG2532 I sawG3708 the womanG3588G1135 drunkenG3184 withG1537 the bloodG3588G129 of the saintsG40, andG2532 withG1537 the bloodG3588G129 of the martyrsG3588G3144 of JesusG2424: andG2532 when I sawG3708 herG846, I wonderedG2296 with greatG3173 astonishmentG2295.

7AndG2532 the angelG3588G32 said untoG3004 meG1473, WhereforeG1223 didst thou marvelG2296? IG1473 will tellG2046 theeG4771 the mysteryG3588G3466 of the womanG3588G1135, andG2532 of the beastG3588G2342 that carriethG3588G941 herG846, whichG5101 hathG3588G2192 theG3588G2776 sevenG2033 headsG3588G2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG3588G2768. 8The beastG3588G2342 thatG3739 thou sawestG3708 wasG1510, andG2532 isG1510 notG3756; andG2532 shallG3195 ascendG305 outG1537 of the abyssG3588G12, andG2532 goG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684: andG2532 they that dwellG3588G2730 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093 shall wonderG2296, whoseG3739 namesG3588G3686 wereG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1909 the bookG3588G975 of lifeG3588G2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they beholdG991 the beastG3588G2342 thatG3739G5100 wasG1510, andG2532 isG1510 notG3756, and yetG2539 isG1510. 9And hereG5602 is the mindG3588G3563 which hathG2192 wisdomG4678. The sevenG2033 headsG2776 areG1510 sevenG2033 mountainsG3735, onG1909 whichG846 the womanG3588G1135 sittethG2521. 10AndG2532 there areG1510 sevenG2033 kingsG935: fiveG4002 are fallenG4098, andG2532 oneG1520 isG1510, and the otherG243 is not yetG3768 comeG2064; andG2532 whenG3752 heG846 comethG2064, he mustG1163 continueG3306 a short spaceG3641. 11AndG2532 the beastG3588G2342 thatG3739 wasG1510, andG2532 isG1510 notG3756, evenG2532 heG846 isG1510 the eighthG3590, andG2532 isG1510 ofG1537 the sevenG2033, andG2532 goethG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684. 12AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG3708 areG1510 tenG1176 kingsG935, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 noG3768 kingdomG932 as yetG3768; butG235 receiveG2983 authorityG1849 asG5613 kingsG935 oneG1520 hourG5610 withG3326 the beastG3588G2342. 13TheseG3778 haveG2192 oneG1520 mindG1106, andG2532 shall giveG1239 theirG1438 powerG3588G1411 andG2532 strengthG3588G1849 unto the beastG3588G2342. 14TheseG3778 shall make warG4170 withG3326 the LambG3588G721, andG2532 the LambG3588G721 shall overcomeG3528 themG846: forG3754 he isG1510 LordG2962 of lordsG2962, andG2532 KingG935 of kingsG935: andG2532 they that areG3588 withG3326 himG846 are calledG2822, andG2532 chosenG1588, andG2532 faithfulG4103. 15AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG1473, The watersG3588G5204 whichG3739 thou sawestG3708, whereG3757 the whoreG3588G4204 sittethG2521, areG1510 peoplesG2992, andG2532 multitudesG3793, andG2532 nationsG1484, andG2532 tonguesG1100. 16AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG3708 uponG1909 the beastG3588G2342, theseG3778 shall hateG3404 the whoreG3588G4204, andG2532 shall makeG4160 herG846 desolateG2049 andG2532 nakedG1131, andG2532 shall eatG5315 herG846 fleshG3588G4561, andG2532 burnG2618 herG846 withG1722 fireG4442. 17ForG1063 GodG2316 hath putG1325 inG1519 theirG846 heartsG3588G2588 to fulfilG4160 hisG846 willG3588G1106, andG2532 to agreeG4160, andG2532 giveG1325 theirG846 kingdomG3588G932 unto the beastG3588G2342, untilG891 the wordsG3588G4487 of GodG3588G2316 shall be fulfilledG5055. 18

AndG2532 the womanG3588G1135 whichG3739 thou sawestG3708 isG1510 that greatG3173 cityG3588G4172, whichG2192 reignethG932 overG1909 the kingsG3588G935 of the earthG3588G1093.
