Chiunukuko 17
1 Nipele jumo jwa achikatumetume saba ŵa kwinani juŵaliji ni mbale saba ŵaiche ni kuusalila, “Njise akuno, chinannosye kulamulikwa kwa jwankongwe jwachigwagwa jula, musi wautaŵikwe pa meesi gamajinji.
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 Mamwenye ŵa mchilambo ŵatesile nawo chikululu, nombe ŵakutama mchilambo akolelwe divai ja chigwagwa chakwe.”
with whom the kings of the earth fornicated, and those who inhabit the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
3 Nipele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanyigele ni katumetume ŵanongwesye mpaka mwilambo. Kweleko nammweni jwankongwe ali atemi pa chinyama chechejeu chegumbale meena ga kwatukana Akunnungu. Nombecho chaliji ni mitwe saba ni misengo likumi.
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 Ni jwankongwe jula ŵawete chiwalo cha sambalau ni chechejeu, ŵalisalesye ni indu yekolochekwe kwa sahabu ni maganga ga ndalama ni lulu. Nombejo ŵakamulile chikombe cha sahabu mu nkono wakwe, chachigumbele indu yaikuchima ni isambo ya usakwa wa chikululu chakwe.
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 Nombewo ŵalembekwe pa usyo wakwe liina lyanchitemela, “Babeli, musi waukulungwa, achikulugwe wa ŵachigwagwa ni wa yose yaikuchima pachilambo.”
and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 Nammweni jwankongwe jo ali akolelwe miasi ja ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni miasi ja ŵandu ŵaŵaulegwe kwa ligongo lya kwasalila ŵandu umboni wa ngani ji Che Yesu. Panammweni nasimosile nnope.
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 Nambo katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵamusisye une, “Ligongochi nkusimonga? Chinansalile indu yaisisiche ya jwankongwe jwatemi pachanya pa chinyama chachikwete mitwe saba ni misengo kumi.
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 Chinyama chachikali chimwachiweni chili chachijumi kundanda, sambano chiwile. Nambo pachiŵandi chakopoche mu Lisimbo lyangali mbesi nambo chajonanjikwe. Ŵandu ŵakutama pa chilambo chasimonje, elo, ŵandu wose ŵanganalembekwa meena gao mu chitabu cha umi chitandile kupagwa chilambo, chasimonje kuchiwona chinyama chichaliji chachijumi kundanda, ni kuwa nambo sambano chikukopochela sooni. (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 “Pele lukusachilwa lunda ni umanyilisi. Jele mitwe saba jo, gali matumbi saba gaakutama jwankongwe pachanya pakwe. Jele mitwe saba jo jili mamwenye saba.
Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits on them.
10 Pasikati ja ŵele mamwenye saba wo, mamwenye nsano amasile kuwa, jumo akulongosya ni jwine nganaŵe kwika, nambo pachaiche po chalongosye kwa katema kakajipi.
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 Ni chinyama chachikali chichaliji chachijumi kalakala, nambo sambano nganichikola umi sooni, ali mwenye jwa nane. Ni jwelejo ali jumo jwa aŵala saba, nombejo chaulajikwe.
And the beast that was, and is not, he also is an eighth, and is of the seven, and he goes into destruction.
12 “Ni misengo kumi jimwajiweni jili, ali mamwenye kumi ŵanganatande kutawala. Nambo chapegwe ulamusi wa kulongosya kwa katema kamo pe pamo ni chinyama chila.
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 Wose kumi chajilane nombewo chachimpa chinyama machili gao ni ulamusi wao wose wa kwatawala ŵandu.
These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 Chamenyane ni Mwanangondolo, nambo Mwanangondolo pamo ni aŵala ŵaŵaaŵilasile ni kwasagula ŵaali ŵakukulupilichika, chiŵapunde ligongo jwele ali Ambuje jwa achambuje ni Mwenye jwa mamwenye.”
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 Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani ŵasalile une, “Meesi gamwagaweni pepala paŵatemi jwachigwagwa jula, jili mipingo ja kila ngosyo ni kila chilambo ni kila chiŵecheto ni kila mitundu.
And he says to me, The waters that thou saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 Misengo kumi jimwajiweni ni chinyama chila, chiŵachime jwakulaŵalaŵa. Chiŵasumule yose yalinayo ni kwaleka makonope, chaalye nyama ja chiilu chakwe ni kwatinisya kwa mooto.
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 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatasile mmitima jao achila chakuchisaka kuti chitendekwe kuti ajilane achinsyene pe kuchipa chinyama chila ulamusi wakulongosya, mpaka pele maloŵe ga Akunnungu pachigamalile.
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 “Ni jwankongwe jumwambweni jula uli musi waukulungwa waukwalamula mamwenye ŵa pachilambo.”
And the woman whom thou saw is the great city having reign over the kings of the earth.
