< Chiunukuko 18 >
1 Pakumala yeleyo nammweni katumetume jwa kwinani jwine achitulukaga kutyochela kwinani, akwete ulamusi wekulungwa, ni kung'alima kwakwe chilambo chang'alime.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 Nipele ŵanyanyisye kwa machili achitiji, “Ugwile, Babeli musi wekulungwa ugwile, utendekwe pakutama masoka ni mbumu sili syose syausakwa, utendekwe pakutama ijuni yose ya usakwa ni yaikuchima.
He shouted with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean and detestable beast.
3 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose ŵakolelwe divai jakalipa ja chigwagwa cho. Nombe mamwenye ŵa pachilambo ŵatesile najo chikululu. Nombe ŵandu ŵa malonda ŵa pachilambo ŵapatile ipanje kutyochela ni machili ga tama jakwe ja kusaka kulisengwasya kwannope.”
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."
4 Nipele napilikene liloŵe line kutyochela kwinani lichitiji “Nkopoche kukwakwe ŵandu ŵangu! Nkaŵa chindu chimo mu sambi syakwe; Ntakupochela iputo yakwe.
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 Pakuŵa sambi syakwe siunjikene mpaka kwinani, ni Akunnungu aikumbuchile ileŵo yakwe.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Chimwatendele ilaila mpela iŵaitesile kwa ŵanyamwe, mwauchisye kaŵili kwa aila iŵatendele ŵane. Ngumbasye chikombe chakwe kaŵili chakung'wa chakalipa, mpela iŵatite pakumgumbalichisya mmwe.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Mwape masausyo ni ipetesi malinga ni mwakulikusya ni kulipokasya kwakwe kwannope. Pakuŵa akuŵecheta muntima mwakwe, ‘Ngutawala nti mwenye jwankongwe! Nginima jwambwililwe ni jwannume, Une ngasasupuka namose kanandi’
However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'
8 Kwa ligongo lyo iputiko yakwe tiiche pa lyuŵa limo pelyo, chiwa ni kusupuka ni sala. Kupunda ni gelego chajochekwe pa mooto pakuŵa Ambuje Akunnungu ŵakwalamula wo, akwete machili.”
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Ni mamwenye ŵa pa chilambo ŵaŵatesile najo chigwagwa ni kupoka pampepe najo chalile ni kwalilila kwa malumbo pachaliwone lyosi lya kutinika kwakwe.
The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 Chajime kwakutali pakugajogopa masausyo gakwe, achitiji, “Chanasa, chanasa kukwenu Babeli musi wekulungwa ni wauli ni machili! Pakuŵa kwa katema kamo pe kulamulikwa kwenu kuiche!”
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city. For your judgment has come in one hour.'
11 Ŵa malondo ŵa pachilambo chalile ni kusupuka ligongo ngapagwa mundu jwakusuma malonda gao sooni,
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;
12 ngapagwa sooni jwakusuma malonda ga sahabu ni feza ni maganga gandalama jajikulungwa ni lulu ni iwalo yeswela ni iwalo ya sambalau ni iwalo ya halili ni iwalo yechejeu, itela yose yakununjila uchenene, ni yoombo yose yekolochekwe ni misengo ja ndembo ni yose yesepekwe mu itela ya ndalama jajikulungwa, ni yoombo yose ya shaba ni ya chisyano ni yombo ya malumalu,
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of bronze, and iron, and marble;
13 ni mdalasini ni iliki ni ubani ni mauta gambone ni divai ni mauta ga seituni ni utandi wambone ni ngano ni ng'ombe ni ngondolo ni falasi ni mutuka ja kukwekwelemya ni falasi ni achikapolo namose umi wa ŵandu.
and cinnamon, spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves and human lives.
14 Ŵandu ŵa malonda ŵala ŵansalile jwankongwe jula, “Indu yose ya kusalala imwasakaga mme nayo isoŵile, ni chipanje ni kulapikwa kummutwiche ni ngannyiwona sooni ng'o.”
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were luxury and splendor have perished from you, and you will never ever find them again.
15 Ŵandu ŵa malonda ŵaŵasichile ni jwelejo musi ula, chajime kwakutalika kwaligongo lya kogopa masausyo gakwe gakaika kwasimana ni ŵanyawo.
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
16 Chalile ni kulila kwamalumbo achitiji, “Chanasa! Chanasa kwa au musi wekulungwa wu. Ŵasyoŵelele kuwala iwalo yeswela, ni ya sambalau ni yechejeu ni kuliilemba kwa indu yaikolochekwe kwa sahabu ni indu yekolochekwe kwa maganga ga ndalama jajikulungwa ni kuwala lulu!
saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls.
17 Kwa katema kamo pe ipanje yejinji yanti jeji namuna ji ijonasiche.” Ŵakusilongosya meli ni ŵakwenda mu bahali ni ŵakupanganya masengo mu meli ni ŵandu wose ŵakutenda malonda kwa litala lya bahali ŵajimi kwakutalika.
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 Ŵaliweni lyosi lya musi wo ni kuti, “Ngapagwa kose musi wekulungwa mpela musi wu.”
and exclaimed as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'
19 Ŵalitasile luundu pa mitwe jao kulosya kulilasika kwao, ŵalisile kwa liloŵe ni kulila kwa malumbo achitiji “Kulaga! Kulaga kwa musi wekulungwa! Musi wati wose ŵaali ni ngalaŵa syasikulungwa syasikwenda mmeesi ŵasichile kutyochela ni ipanje yakwe yejinji. Nambo kwa katema kamo pe usoyesye indu yose.”
They cast dust on their heads, and shouting, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth.' For in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Nsangalale mmwe kwinani! Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu pamo ni achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu! Kwaligongo lya indu yaikopochele mmusi ula, pakuŵa Akunnungu aulamwile kwa ligongo lya ipanganyo yampanganichisye ŵanyamwe!
"Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."
21 Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jwali ni machili ŵanyakwile lisyago, ŵaliponyisye mu bahali achitiji, “Kwanti iyiyi musi wa Babeli ni uchijile pakugumulikwa kusyene ni ngasiuwoneka sooni.
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 Namose liloŵe lya ŵandu ŵakwimba ni liloŵe lya ing'wenyeng'wenye ni ŵakugomba ipeeta ni ŵakugomba mapenga ngasilipikanika sooni mwenumwe ng'o. Nombe fundi jwa masengo gagali gose ngasaoneka mwenumwe sooni ng'o namose lisegwe lya lisyago ngasilipikanika mwenumwe sooni ng'o.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 Namose lilanguka lya lumuli ngasilumulika sooni mwenumwe ng'o. Liloŵe lya mlombela ni jwakulombwa ngasilipikanika sooni kukwenu ng'o. Ŵamalonda ŵenu ŵaliji ni machili pachilambo ni usaŵi wenu walyungasisye ŵandu wose ŵa chilambo.”
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 Wele musi wa Babeli walamulikwe kwa ligongo mu nkati mwakwe jawoneche miasi ja ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni miasi ja aŵala wose ŵaŵaulajikwe pachilambo.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
