2 Hem singaot big olsem: “Bigfala Babylon hem foldaon nao! Olketa demon and olketa rabis bird wea no klin stap long datfala taon and air long there hem poison!
3 Wine bilong hem, wea hem nao strongfala feeling bilong hem for laek durong, hem mekem evri kantri for drunk. Olketa king long earth durong witim hem and olketa bisnisman long earth kamap rich bikos long staka rich samting bilong hem wea hem no shame for hipimap.”
4 Mi herem nara voice long heven hem sei: “Pipol bilong mi, sapos iufala no laek join witim hem long sin bilong hem, and no laek kasem olketa nogud samting wea bae kasem hem, iufala mas go aot from hem nao.

9 “Olketa king long earth wea durong witim hem and wea sharem staka rich samting wea hem no shame for hipimap, bae krae and hitim chest bilong olketa seleva taem olketa lukim smoke bilong fire wea bonem hem. Olketa duim diswan for showimaot olketa sorre tumas.
10 Olketa bae standap farawe lelebet bikos olketa fraetem tumas wei wea disfala taon hem safa, and bae olketa sei, ‘Sorre long iu Babylon, wea iu nao datfala big taon wea strong tumas, bikos long wanfala hour nomoa God judgem iu nao!’
11 “Olketa bisnisman long earth tu bae krae and sorre long hem, bikos no eniwan hem stap nao for peim evri kago bilong olketa.
12 Kago bilong olketa hem gold and silver and olketa spesol ston witim olketa pearl.* Olketa garem kaleko wea olketa wakem long silk, and purple and red kaleko witim olketa nara naes kaleko.

15 “Olketa bisnisman wea salem olketa samting hia and wea kamap rich bikos long disfala taon, bae standap farawe lelebet from olketa fraetem tumas panis wea kasem hem. Bae olketa krae and sorre
16 and sei, ‘Sorre long datfala big taon Babylon, wea werem naesfala kaleko and purple and red kaleko and wea werem tu olketa naes samting wea olketa wakem long gold and olketa spesol ston and pearl
17 bikos long wanfala hour nomoa olketa riches hia finis nao!’
“Evri kapten bilong olketa ship and evriwan wea gogo long ship and olketa crew, olketa standap farawe lelebet,
18 and taem olketa lukim smoke bilong fire wea bonem hem, olketa singaot olsem, ‘No eni nara taon hem olsem disfala big taon!’
19 Olketa putim dust long hed bilong olketa and olketa krae and sorre. Olketa singaot olsem, ‘Sorre long datfala big taon Babylon, wea mekem evriwan wea ownim olketa ship kamap rich. Sorre long datfala taon, bikos long wanfala hour nomoa hem finis nao!’
20 “Iufala long heven and iufala olketa holy wan witim olketa aposol and profet, iufala mas hapi long diswan bikos God hem judgem hem for olketa samting wea hem duim long iufala!”
21 Then wanfala strong angel hem liftimap wanfala big ston wea olsem ston for smasem wheat. Hem torowem insaed long sea and hem sei: “Diswan nao samting wea bae kasem datfala big taon Babylon. Olketa bae torowem hem go daon and bae hem lus for olowe.
