Revelation 17

17 ¹One of di seven angels wey get di seven bowls come meet me, e talk give me sey: “Come, make I show you di judgment wey go fall di big ashawo woman wey siddon for plenty waters. ²Di kings of di earth do sexual sin with her, and di people wey dey for earth drink di wine of her sin sotay dem drunk.” ³E carry me for di Spirit go one wilderness, and I see one woman wey siddon for one scarlet beast wey full with names wey dey insult God, and e get seven heads and ten horns. ⁴Di woman wear purple and scarlet cloth, e dress fine with gold, and precious stones, and pearls, and e hold gold cup for her hand wey full with dirty things and di nastiness of her sexual sin. ⁵For her forehead dem write one name, one mystery: “Babylon di great, mama of ashawo women and of all di dirty things wey dey for earth.”

⁶I see di woman wey drink di blood of di saints sotay she drunk, di blood of di people wey be witness for Jesus. As I see her, e shock me well well.

⁷Di angel ask me, “Wetin make you dey wonder? I go tell you di mystery of di woman and of di beast wey dey carry her, di one wey get di seven heads and di ten horns. ⁸Di beast wey you see, e bin dey before, but now e no dey, and e dey ready to comot from di abyss and go to im destruction. Di people wey dey live for earth, wey dem no write dia names for di book of life since di time wey dem lay di foundation of di world, go wonder wen dem see di beast—because e bin dey before, e no dey now, but e go come.

⁹Dis one need mind wey get wisdom: di seven heads na seven mountains wey di woman siddon on top, and dem na seven kings too. ¹⁰Five don fall, one dey now, di oda one never come; wen e come, e go only stay small time. ¹¹Di beast wey bin dey before and wey no dey now na di eighth one, but e na one of di seven, and e dey go to im destruction. ¹²Di ten horns wey you see na ten kings wey never receive kingdom yet, but dem go receive authority as kings for one hour together with di beast. ¹³Dis ones get one mind, and dem go hand over dia power and authority give di beast.

¹⁴Dem go fight di Lamb, and di Lamb go conquer dem, because e be Lord of lords and King of kings, and di people wey dey with am na dem wey e call, and e choose, and wey dey faithful.” ¹⁵Di angel tell me, “Di waters wey you see, wia di ashawo woman siddon, na plenty people, and crowds, and nations, and languages. ¹⁶Di ten horns wey you see, and di beast, go hate di ashawo woman. Dem go leave her empty and naked, dem go chop her flesh, and dem go burn her finish with fire. ¹⁷Because our Papa put am for dia mind make dem carry out wetin e wan do, make dem gree with one mind, and hand over dia kingdom give di beast, until di words of our Papa go complete. ^a a v17 Even di kings wey dey stubborn and dey serve di beast dey carry out wetin our Papa wan do. E dey direct history go reach di Lamb im victory. ¹⁸Di woman wey you see na di great city wey dey rule over di kings of di earth.”
