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 he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on 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 unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: 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 though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke 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 worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to 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 there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and 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 for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, [even] them that dwell 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 unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority 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 that dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name hath not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world.
9 “Ŵakwete mapikanilo, apikane!
If any man hath an ear, 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 man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. 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 unto a lamb, and he spake as a 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 exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.
13 Nipele, chinyama chachikali chaaŵili chatesile imanyisyo yekulungwa yakusimosya paujo pa ŵandu namose kuutenda mooto utuluche pachilambo kutyochela kwinani.
And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.
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 deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who hath the stroke of the sword, and lived.
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 breath to it, [even] to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast 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 causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon 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.
and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, [even] 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. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
