¹ Ο δε οφις ητο το φρονιμωτερον παντων των ζωων του αγρου, τα οποια εκαμε Κυριος ο Θεος· και ειπεν ο οφις προς την γυναικα, Τω οντι ειπεν ο Θεος, Μη φαγητε απο παντος δενδρου του παραδεισου;

² Και ειπεν η γυνη προς τον οφιν, Απο του καρπου των δενδρων του παραδεισου δυναμεθα να φαγωμεν·

³ απο δε του καρπου του δενδρου, το οποιον ειναι εν μεσω του παραδεισου, ειπεν ο Θεος, Μη φαγητε απ' αυτου, μηδε εγγισητε αυτον, δια να μη αποθανητε.

⁴ Και ειπεν ο οφις προς την γυναικα, Δεν θελετε βεβαιως αποθανει

⁵ αλλ' εξευρει ο Θεος, οτι καθ' ην ημεραν φαγητε απ' αυτου, θελουσιν ανοιχθη οι οφθαλμοι σας, και θελετε εισθαι ως θεοι, γνωριζοντες το καλον και το κακον.

⁶ Και ειδεν η γυνη, οτι το δενδρον ητο καλον εις βρωσιν, και οτι ητο αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους, και επιθυμητον το δενδρον ως διδον γνωσιν· και λαβουσα εκ του καρπου αυτου, εφαγε· και εδωκε και εις τον ανδρα αυτης μεθ' εαυτης, και αυτος εφαγε.

⁷ Και ηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι αμφοτερων, και εγνωρισαν οτι ησαν γυμνοι· και ραψαντες φυλλα συκης, εκαμον εις εαυτους περιζωματα.

⁸ Και ηκουσαν την φωνην Κυριου του Θεου, περιπατουντος εν τω παραδεισω προς το δειλινον· και εκρυφθησαν ο Αδαμ και η γυνη αυτου απο προσωπου Κυριου του Θεου, μεταξυ των δενδρων του παραδεισου.

⁹ Εκαλεσε δε Κυριος ο Θεος τον Αδαμ, και ειπε προς αυτον, Που εισαι;

¹⁰ Ο δε ειπε, Την φωνην σου ηκουσα εν τω παραδεισω, και εφοβηθην, διοτι ειμαι γυμνος· και εκρυφθην.

¹¹ Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος, Τις εφανερωσεν εις σε οτι εισαι γυμνος; Μηπως εφαγες απο του δενδρου, απο του οποιου προσεταξα εις σε να μη φαγης;

¹² Και ειπεν ο Αδαμ, Η γυνη την οποιαν εδωκας να ηναι μετ' εμου, αυτη μοι εδωκεν απο του δενδρου, και εφαγον.

¹³ Και ειπε Κυριος ο Θεος προς την γυναικα, Τι ειναι τουτο το οποιον εκαμες; Και η γυνη ειπεν, Ο οφις με ηπατησε, και εφαγον.

¹⁴ Και ειπε Κυριος ο Θεος προς τον οφιν, Επειδη εκαμες τουτο, επικαταρατος να ησαι μεταξυ παντων των κτηνων, και παντων των ζωων του αγρου· επι της κοιλιας σου θελεις περιπατει, και χωμα θελεις τρωγει, πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου·

¹⁵ και εχθραν θελω στησει αναμεσον σου και της γυναικος, και αναμεσον του σπερματος σου και του σπερματος αυτης· αυτο θελει σου συντριψει την κεφαλην, και συ θελεις κεντησει την πτερναν αυτου.

¹⁶ Προς δε την γυναικα ειπε, Θελω υπερπληθυνει τας λυπας σου και τους πονους της κυοφοριας σου· με λυπας θελεις γεννα τεκνα· και προς τον ανδρα σου θελει εισθαι η επιθυμια σου, και αυτος θελει σε εξουσιαζει.

¹⁷ Προς δε τον Αδαμ ειπεν, Επειδη υπηκουσας εις τον λογον της γυναικος σου, και εφαγες απο του δενδρου, απο του οποιου προσεταξα εις σε λεγων, Μη φαγης απ' αυτου, κατηραμενη να ηναι η γη εξ αιτιας σου· με λυπας θελεις τρωγει τους καρπους αυτης πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου·

¹⁸ και ακανθας και τριβολους θελει βλαστανει εις σε· και θελεις τρωγει τον χορτον του αγρου·

¹⁹ εν τω ιδρωτι του προσωπου σου θελεις τρωγει τον αρτον σου, εωσου επιστρεψης εις την γην, εκ της οποιας εληφθης· επειδη γη εισαι, και εις γην θελεις επιστρεψει.

²⁰ Και εκαλεσεν ο Αδαμ το ονομα της γυναικος αυτου, Ευαν· διοτι αυτη ητο μητηρ παντων των ζωντων.

²¹ Και εκαμε Κυριος ο Θεος εις τον Αδαμ και εις την γυναικα αυτου χιτωνας δερματινους, και ενεδυσεν αυτους.

²² Και ειπε Κυριος ο Θεος, Ιδου, εγεινεν ο Αδαμ ως εις εξ ημων, εις το γινωσκειν το καλον και το κακον· και τωρα μηπως εκτεινη την χειρα αυτου, και λαβη και απο του ξυλου της ζωης, και φαγη, και ζηση αιωνιως·

²³ Οθεν Κυριος ο Θεος εξαπεστειλεν αυτον εκ του παραδεισου της Εδεμ, δια να εργαζηται την γην εκ της οποιας εληφθη.

²⁴ Και εξεδιωξε τον Αδαμ· και κατα ανατολας του παραδεισου της Εδεμ εθεσε τα Χερουβειμ, και την ρομφαιαν την φλογινην, την περιστρεφομενην, δια να φυλαττωσι την οδον του ξυλου της ζωης.

¹ After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.

² He cried with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!

³ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."

⁴ I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues,

⁵ for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.

⁶ Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.

⁷ However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'

⁸ Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.

⁹ The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,

¹⁰ standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.'

¹¹ The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;

¹² merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;

¹³ and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people's bodies and souls.

¹⁴ The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.

¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;

¹⁶ saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!

¹⁷ For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,

¹⁸ and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'

¹⁹ They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!' For in one hour is she made desolate.

²⁰ "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."

²¹ A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.

²² The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.

²³ The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

²⁴ In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
