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 angels having the seven bowls, came and spoke with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, the one sitting upon many waters:
2 Mamwenye ŵa mchilambo ŵatesile nawo chikululu, nombe ŵakutama mchilambo akolelwe divai ja chigwagwa chakwe.”
with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those dwelling upon the earth were made drunk from 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 the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, having the 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, and gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the impurities 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 her name was written; Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots And 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 saints, and from the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and seeing her, I was astonished with great astonishment.
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 angel said to me, Wherefore wast thou astonished? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast which carries her, having the seven heads and 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 which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and go into perdition: and those dwelling upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, seeing the beast, because he was, and is not, and will be. (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 a mind having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits upon 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; five have fallen, one is, and another is not yet come; and when he may come it behooves him to 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.
The beast which was, and is not, and the same is the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going into perdition.
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 which you saw, are ten kings, who live 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 make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them, because he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings: and with him are the called, and the elect, and the 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 which you saw, where the harlot 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 which you saw and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her up 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 has given it into their hearts to do his mind, and to have one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 “Ni jwankongwe jumwambweni jula uli musi waukulungwa waukwalamula mamwenye ŵa pachilambo.”
And the woman whom you saw is the great city, the one having dominion over the kings of the earth.
