Chivumbulutso 17
1 Mmodzi wa angelo asanu ndi awiri aja amene anali ndi mbale zisanu ndi ziwiri anadza nati kwa ine, “Bwera ndikuonetse chilango cha mkazi wadama wotchuka uja amene akukhala pambali pa madzi ambiri.
And one of the seven agents who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore who sits upon the many waters
2 Mafumu a dziko lapansi amachita naye chigololo ndipo okhala pa dziko lapansi analedzera ndi vinyo wa zigololo zake.”
with whom the kings of the earth fornicated, and those who inhabit the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
3 Kenaka mngeloyo anandinyamula mwa Mzimu Woyera kupita nane ku chipululu. Kumeneko ndinaona mkazi atakhala pa chirombo chofiira chokutidwa ndi mayina a chipongwe ndipo chinali ndi mitu isanu ndi iwiri ndi nyanga khumi.
And he carried me away in spirit into a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast containing names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Mkaziyo anavala zovala za pepo ndi zofiira nadzikongoletsa ndi golide, miyala yapamwamba ndi ngale. Ananyamula chikho chagolide mʼdzanja lake, chodzaza ndi zinthu zonyansa ndi fungo loyipa la zigololo zake.
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup containing abominations and the filthy things of her fornication,
5 Pa mphumi pake panalembedwa dzina lodabwitsa: BABULONI WAMKULU MAYI WA AKAZI ADAMA NDI WAZOYIPITSA ZA DZIKO LAPANSI.
and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 Ndinaona kuti mkaziyo anali ataledzera ndi magazi a oyera mtima, magazi a amene anachitira umboni Yesu. Nditamuona mkaziyo ndinadabwa kwambiri.
And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the sanctified, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And having seen her, I wondered with great amazement.
7 Kenaka mngelo uja anati kwa ine, “Bwanji ukudabwa? Ndikufotokozera chinsinsi cha mkaziyu ndi chinsinsi cha chirombo chimene wakwerapochi chokhala ndi mitu isanu ndi iwiri ndi nyanga khumi.
And the agent said to me, Why did thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 Chirombo chimene wachionachi chinalipo kale koma tsopano kulibe ndipo chidzatuluka ku chidzenje chakuya ndi kupita kukawonongedwa. Anthu okhala pa dziko lapansi amene mayina awo sanalembedwe mʼbuku lamoyo kuyambira pa kulengedwa kwa dziko lapansi adzadabwa pamene adzaona chirombocho, chifukwa chinalipo kale, tsopano kulibe, komabe chidzabwera. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that thou saw was, and is not, and is going to ascend out of the abyss and go into destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will come. (Abyssos g12)
9 “Zimenezi zikufunika kuganizira mwanzeru. Mitu isanu ndi iwiriyo ndi mapiri asanu ndi awiri pomwe mkazi uja amakhalirapo. Yomweyonso ndi mafumu asanu ndi awiri.
Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits on them.
10 Mafumu asanu anagwa, imodzi ilipo ndipo ina sinabwere; koma pamene idzafika, idzayenera kukhala kwa kanthawi kochepa.
And there are seven kings, the five are fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain a little while.
11 Chirombo chomwe chinalipo kale ndipo tsopano kulibe ndiyo mfumu yachisanu ndi chitatu. Iyo ndi ya mʼgulu la asanu ndi awiriwo ndipo ikupita kukawonongedwa.
And the beast that was, and is not, he also is an eighth, and is of the seven, and he goes into destruction.
12 “Nyanga khumi unaziona zija ndi mafumu khumi amene sanapatsidwe ulamuliro, koma adzapatsidwa ulamuliro pamodzi ndi chirombo kwa ora limodzi.
And the ten horns that thou saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
13 Mafumuwo ali ndi cholinga chimodzi ndipo adzapereka mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wawo kwa chirombocho.
These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 Iwo adzachita nkhondo ndi Mwana Wankhosa, koma Mwana Wankhosayo adzawagonjetsa chifukwa Iye ndi Mbuye wa ambuye ndi Mfumu ya mafumu, ndipo amene adzakhala ndi Iye ndi oyitanidwa ake, osankhidwa ndi otsatira ake okhulupirika.”
These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those with him are the called and chosen and faithful.
15 Kenaka mngeloyo anati kwa ine, “Madzi amene unawaona pamene mkazi wadamayo anakhalapo ndiwo anthu ochuluka, mitundu ndi ziyankhulo.
And he says to me, The waters that thou saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 Nyanga khumi ndi chirombo unazionazo zidzadya mkazi wadamayo. Zidzamufwifwitsa ndi kumusiya wamaliseche; zidzadya nyama yake ndi kumutentha ndi moto.
And the ten horns that thou saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her with fire.
17 Pakuti Mulungu wayika ichi mʼmitima mwawo kuti akwaniritse cholinga chake povomerezana kupereka mphamvu zawo zolamulira kwa chirombo, kufikira Mawu a Mulungu atakwaniritsidwa.
For God gave in their hearts to do his will. Even to do one will, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God would be ended.
18 Mkazi unamuonayo ndi mzinda waukulu umene ulamulira mafumu a dziko lapansi.”
And the woman whom thou saw is the great city having reign over the kings of the earth.
