Chiyubunuzyo 18
1 Nikwakinda zintu ezi ndakabona umbi angelo kaseluka aansi kalikuzwa kujulu. Kajisi bwendelezi bupati, aboobo nyika yakamwesegwa abulemu bwakwe.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 Wakakwilila ajwi ijumu, wati, “Waawa, waawa Bbabbiloni mupati! Waba chikkalilo chamadimoni, chiyobwedo chamyuya yoonse isofwede, achiyobwedo chatuyuni tusofwede atusesemya.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 Nkambo zisi zyoonse zyanywa wayini wabwamu bwakwe. Bami banyika bakachita bwamu anguwe. Abalabo bendelezi baansi abavubi buzwa kunguzu nzyalibotezya anzila yakupona kwakwe.”
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 Alimwi ndakamvwa limbi ijwi lizwa kujulu liti, “Kamuzwa aanze kuzwa kulinguwe, nobantu bangu, kuchitila kuti mutawanisigwi zibi zyakwe, akuchitila kuti mutatambuli niziba zipenzyo zyakwe.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 Zibi zyakwe zyatanta kujulu, kule, aboobo Leza wayeya inchito zyakwe imbi.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Mumubbadale mbuli mbakabbadala bamwi, amumubbadale kobile mbuli mbachita; munkomeki njakali kuswanizya muswanizye tubili akulinguwe.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 Mbuli mbakali kulemya lwakwe akupona mukulyiiba, amupe koomba amawuse. 'Ndakala mbuli namalelo; tandili mukamufu pe, aboobo tandikoyobona koomba.
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Nkaambo kako mubuzuba bomwe zipenzyo zyakwe ziyo musikila: Lufu, anzala: Uyo syukutwa amulilo, nkambo Mwami Leza ngusinguzu aboobo ngomubetesi wakwe.”
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 Baami banyika bakachita bwamu chakulibotezya aboobo baakenda chakutalyunanga anguwe bayolila akoomoka nibayobona busi bwakutentwa kwakwe.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Bayoyimikila kule, akuyowa zipenzyo zyakwe, akuti, “Maawe, maawe kuchisis chipati, Bbabbiloni, chisi chili ampuwo! Nkambo muchindi chomwe lubeteko lwako lwasika.”
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 Abalabo bendelezi benyika bakwiila akomba nkambo tachikwe naba omwe uyobawulila alimbi -
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 Makwebo angolida, ansiliva, mabwe mayandisi, angale, amasani asalala tyu, azimvwalimvwali, ayoonse misyobo yamasamu amukomba, azyonse zibikilo zyameja anzovu, azyonse zibikilo zyakatwa amasamu mayandisi, azyamundalila, azyamukuba, azya mabweluuma,
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 Kkinamono, tununkilizyo, alibbano, aamula, wayini, amatuta, abusu bunante, abulotwe, ang'ombe ambelele, ambizi ankalaki, amyuya yabantu.
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 Muchelo oyo ngoyandisya anguzu zyako zyakumana kuzwa kulinduwe. Zyoonse zyoolwe zyako azi kubotezya zyakukubulika, tazichika bonwi limbi pe.
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 Bendelezi bazintu ezi abo bakaba bavubi akambo kakwe bayoyima kule kuzwa kuli nguwe musinzo nkambo kakuyowa kupenzegwa kupati.
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 Bayoti, “Maawe, maawe kuchisi chipati echo chakasamikidwe masani mabotu, mudowalowa, azisalala pyuu, aboobo wakalisakatide ingolida, mabwe mayandisi, angaale!
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 Muchiindi chomwe boonseni buvubi bwakambilwa kufwa.” Boonse basibana musyoloma, boonse bantu beenda alwizi, amulwizi bakayimikila kule.
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 Bakakwila nibakabona busi bwakutentwa kwamubili wakwe. Bakaati, “Nchichili chisi chibanga nchisi chipati?”
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great city!
19 Bakalivwikila lusuko amitwe yabo, akukwila kupati, akwema akoomoka, “Maawe, mawe kuchisi chipati balikuli boonse bakajisi maato abo mulwizi bakavubisigwa kuzwa kuli nguwe. Pele muchindi choomwe bakambilwa kufwa,”
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 “Amusekelele kwinda kwakwe amajulu, nywebo nobantu basalala anobatumwa anobasinsimi, pele Leza wamwetele lubeta alinguwe!”
Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 Angelo singuzu wakabweza ibbwe lilimbuli iziyo pati aboobo waliwala mulwizi, wamba wati, “Munzila eyi, Bbabbiloni, yochisi chipati, uyosowegwa aansi chabukkali aboobo tochikabonwi limbi pe.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 Ijwi lyabasituntimbwa, basinyele abasimweembo talichiyomvwigwi limbi muli nduwe. Abasimilimo niba ilibuti tabakoyojanwa limbi mulinduwe. Takukoyomvwigwa kuvuuta kwaziyo limbi muli nduwe.
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 Mumuni walampi tuchikamuniki limbi mulinduwe. Ijwi lyabasibwinga talikoyomvwigwa limbi muli nduwe, pele basambazi bako bakali bapati baansi, aboobo maasi akeenwa amasalamusi ako.
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 Mulinguwe bulowa bwaba sinsimi abwa basalali ba Leza bwaka janwa, abulowa bwababo boonse bakajayigwa aansi.”
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
