< Chiunukuko 13 >

1 Ni lijoka lila lyajimi mmbwani mwa bahali. Nipele nachiweni chinyama chachikali chili nkukopoka mu bahali, chana mitwe saba ni misengo likumi ni pachanya pa kila msengo pana chindu mpela singwa. Ni pachanya pa jele mitwe paliji ni meena ga kwatukana Akunnungu.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and upon his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
2 Ni chinyama chachikali chinachiweni cho chalandene ni chisuŵi, ni sajo syakwe chisau chisuŵi ni kang'wa jakwe chisau kang'wa ja lisimba. Lijoka lyo lyachipele chinyama chachikali chila machili gakwe ni chitengu cha ulamusi ni ukombole waujinji.
And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of lions: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
3 Ntwe umo wa chinyama chachikali chila waoneche kuti waulele liŵanga lyakogoya nnope lilyatyochele ni kukapikwa ni lipanga, nambo liŵanga lyakogoya lyo lyaliji lilamile. Ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo ŵachisimosile chinyama cho ni kuchikuya.
And I saw one of his heads as it had been smitten unto death; and the wound of his death was healed. And the whole earth wondered after the beast:
4 Ŵandu wose ŵalilambile lijoka lila ligongo lyachipele chinyama chachikali ukombole wakwe. Nombe ŵachipopelele chinyama achitiji, “Ana ŵaani ŵakulandana ni chinyama chi? Ana ŵaani ŵakukombola kumenyana nacho?”
and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying; Who is like the beast? and who is able to make war with him?
5 Nipele chinyama chachikali chila chapegwile ukombole wa kuŵecheta maloŵe ga kuligamba ni ga kwatukana Akunnungu. Nombecho chapegwile ulamusi wa kupanganya masengo kwa miesi alobaini na mbili.
and a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies; and authority was given unto him to prevail forty-two months.
6 Nombe chinyama chachikali chila chatandite kwatukana Akunnungu ni kulitukana liina lyao ni liuto lyakutama Akunnungu ni wose ŵakutama kwinani.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, those dwelling in the heaven.
7 Sooni chapegwile machili ga kumenyana ngondo ni ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni kwapunda. Ŵapegwile ulamusi wa kwatawala ŵandu ŵa ngosyo ni kila chiŵecheto ni kila chilambo ni kila mitundu.
And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them: and authority was given unto him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation.
8 Ni ŵandu wose ŵakutama mu chilambo chaachipopelele chinyama chachikali cho, ikaŵe ŵeŵala pe ŵaŵalembekwe meena gao chitandilile kupagwa kwa chilambo mu chitabu cha umi cha Mwanangondolo juŵaulajikwe.
And all those who dwell upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him.
9 “Ŵakwete mapikanilo, apikane!
if any one has ears, let him hear.
10 Iŵaga mundu akusachilwa kujigalikwa migole chajigalikwe migole. Iŵaga mundu akusachilwa aulajikwe ni lipanga chaulajikwe ni lipanga. Kwa yele ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu akusachilwa aŵeje ni upililiu ni chikulupi.”
If any one leads into captivity he goes into captivity: if any one kills with a sword, it behooves him to be killed with a sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 Nipele nachiweni chinyama chine chachikali chili nkukopoka mu lisi. Chakwete misengo jiŵili jati mpela ja ngondolo ni chaŵechete mpela lijoka lyekulungwa lila.
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he continued to speak as the dragon.
12 Chinyama cho chaliji ni ukombole wemalile kutyochela kwa chinyama cha ndanda ni ŵautumiye ukombole ula paujo pa chinyama. Nombecho kwa machili ŵaatendaga ŵandu ŵa chilambo chose achipopelele achila chinyama chandanda chichaliji ni liŵanga lyakogoya lilyalamile.
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him. And he makes the earth and those dwelling in it, that they shall worship the first beast, whose wound of his death was healed.
13 Nipele, chinyama chachikali chaaŵili chatesile imanyisyo yekulungwa yakusimosya paujo pa ŵandu namose kuutenda mooto utuluche pachilambo kutyochela kwinani.
And he performs great signs, so that he can indeed make fire descend out of the heaven to the earth in presence of the people.
14 Kwa ukombole uŵapegwilwe wa kutendekanya imanyisyo yekulungwa yakusimosya paujo pa chinyama chandanda. Ŵalyungesye ŵandu ŵakutama pachilambo kwakwasalila akolosye chinyago chakulandana ni chinyama chichaliji ni liŵanga lilyatyochele ni kukapikwa ni lipanga ni kulama chila kuti achichimbichisye.
And he deceives those dwelling upon the earth through the signs which it was given unto him to perform in the presence of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who had the wound of the sword, and did live.
15 Chinyama chaaŵili chila chapegwile machili ga kuchitaga mbumu ja umi chinyago cha chinyama cha ndanda kuti chikombole kuŵecheta ni kwaulaga ŵandu wose ŵangakuchipopelela chinyago cho.
And it was given unto him to give spirit to the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast may indeed speak, and he may cause so many as will not worship the image of the beast that they should be killed.
16 Nombe ŵaakanganichisye ŵandu wose, achanandi ni achakulungwa, ŵachipanje ni ŵakulaga, ŵanganaŵa achikapolo ni achikapolo, kuti atajikwe chimanyisyo pa nkono wao wa kundyo pane ku meeso kwao.
And he causes all, small and great, both rich and poor, both free and bond, that they may give them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead:
17 Ŵakanyisye akapagwa mundu jwalijose juchasume pane kusumisya chindu chachili chose akaŵe jwakwete chimanyisyo, yaani liina lya chinyama chila pane uŵalanjikwe wa liina lyakwe.
that no one may be able to buy or sell, except the one having the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Pelepa pakusachilwa lunda! Jwakwete umanyilisi akukombola kuŵalanga uŵalanje wa chele chinyama, pakuŵa namba jo jili liina lya mundu jumpepe. Syele namba sili mia sita, sitini na sita.
Here is wisdom. Let the one having understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man. And his is, Six hundred and sixty-six.
