Fakahā 17
1Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters,
1PEA naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hina ʻe fitu, ʻo ne lea kiate au, ʻo pehē mai kiate au, “Haʻu ki heni; pea te u fakahā kiate koe hono fakamaau ʻoe fuʻu feʻauaki, ʻoku heka ʻi he ngaahi vai lahi:
2with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.”
2ʻAia kuo fai feʻauaki mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻa māmani, pea ko e kakai ʻo māmani naʻe fakakona ʻaki ʻae uaine ʻo ʻene feʻauaki.”
3And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.
3Pea naʻe ʻāvea au ʻi he laumālie ki he toafa: pea ne u mamata ʻoku heka ʻae fefine ʻi he manu fekai ʻoku kulaʻahoʻaho, kuo pito ʻi he ngaahi hingoa fakataukae ki he ʻOtua, kuo fitu hono ʻulu, pea mo e nifo ʻe hongofulu.
4The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
4Pea naʻe teunga ʻaki ʻae fefine ʻae kulokula mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, pea teunga ʻaki foki ʻae koula mo e ngaahi maka koloa mo e ngaahi mataʻitofe, kuo ʻi hono nima ʻae ipu koula, kuo pito ʻi he ngaahi fakalielia mo e ʻuli ʻo ʻene feʻauaki.
5And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.”
5Pea naʻe tohi ʻi hono foʻi laʻē ʻae hingoa ni, KO E MEʻA FAKALILOLILO, KO PAPILONE KO E LAHI, KO E FAʻĒ ʻAE KAU FEʻAUAKI MO E NGAAHI FAKALIELIA ʻOE MĀMANI.
6And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
6Pea ne u mamata ʻoku konā ʻae fefine ʻi he toto ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni, mo e toto ʻoe kakai naʻe mate koeʻuhi ko Sisu: pea ne u ofo ʻi heʻeku mamata ki ai, ʻo ofo lahi ʻaupito.
7But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
7Pea pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ofo ai? Te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻoku kau ki he fefine, mo e manu fekai ʻoku ne fua ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻulu ʻe fitu, pea mo e nifo ʻe hongofulu.
8The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.
8Ko e manu fekai ne ke mamata ai, naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai eni; pea ʻe ʻalu hake mei he luo taʻehanotakele, pea ʻe ʻalu ia ki he malaʻia: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tohi honau hingoa ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui talu hono ngaohi ʻo māmani, te nau ofo ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he manu fekai, naʻe ʻi ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai eni, ka ʻoku ʻi ai ni.
9This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;
9“Ko eni ʻae loto ʻoku poto. Ko e ʻulu ʻe fitu, ko e moʻunga ia ʻe fitu, ʻaia ʻoku heka ai ʻae fefine.
10they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.
10Pea ʻoku fitu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: kuo hinga ʻae toko nima, pea ʻoku ai ni ʻae tokotaha, pea ʻoku teʻeki hoko hono toe; pea ka haʻu ia, kuo pau ke nofo pe ia ʻi he kuonga siʻi.
11As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.
11Pea ko e manu fekai, naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai eni, ko hono valu ia, pea ʻoku ʻoe toko fitu, pea ʻoku ʻalu ia ki he malaʻia.
12And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.
12“Pea ko e nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe hongofulu naʻa ke mamata ki ai, ko e tuʻi ʻe hongofulu ia, ʻoku teʻeki kenau maʻu ha puleʻanga; ka ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mālohi ʻo hangē ha ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻe taha fakataha mo e manu fekai.
13These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.
13ʻOku loto taha ʻakinautolu ni, pea te nau foaki ʻenau pule mo e mālohi ki he manu fekai.
14They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
14ʻE tauʻi ʻekinautolu ni ʻae Lami, pea ʻe ikuna ʻakinautolu ʻe he Lami: he ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia kuo ui, mo fili, mo angatonu.”
15And the angel said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.
15Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi vai ne ke mamata ai, ʻoku heka ai ʻae fefine feʻauaki, ko e ngaahi kakai mo e fuʻu tokolahi, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea.
16And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,
16Pea ko e nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe hongofulu ne ke mamata ai ʻi he manu fekai, ʻe fehiʻa ʻakinautolu ni ki he fefine feʻauaki, pea te nau fakamasivaʻi mo fakatelefuaʻi ia, pea te nau kai ʻa hono kakano, pea tutu ia ʻi he afi.
17for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
17He kuo fakalotoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ke nau fai ki hono finangalo, pea ke nau loto taha, ʻo foaki honau puleʻanga ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
18And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”
18Pea ko e fefine naʻa ke mamata ki ai, ko e kolo lahi ko ia ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne puleʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.”
