Chiyubunuzyo 18
1 Nikwakinda zintu ezi ndakabona umbi angelo kaseluka aansi kalikuzwa kujulu. Kajisi bwendelezi bupati, aboobo nyika yakamwesegwa abulemu bwakwe.
And after this, I saw an angel descending from heaven, who had great power; and the earth was enlightened 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 with a mighty and a loud voice, saying, It is fallen! it is fallen! it is fallen! even Babylon the Great: and it is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every unclean 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 she has caused all the nations to drink of the wine of her raging whoredom; and the kings of the earth have committed whoredom with her, and the merchants of the earth have been enriched by the abundance of her luxuries.
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 from her, my people, that you may not be partakers with her in her sins, and that you may not partake of her plagues:
5 Zibi zyakwe zyatanta kujulu, kule, aboobo Leza wayeya inchito zyakwe imbi.
for her sins have followed up to heaven, and her unrighteous actions are come up in remembrance before God.
6 Mumubbadale mbuli mbakabbadala bamwi, amumubbadale kobile mbuli mbachita; munkomeki njakali kuswanizya muswanizye tubili akulinguwe.
Give her, as he also has given; and recompense to her double, according to her works: in the cup which she has mingled, mingle to her double.
7 Mbuli mbakali kulemya lwakwe akupona mukulyiiba, amupe koomba amawuse. 'Ndakala mbuli namalelo; tandili mukamufu pe, aboobo tandikoyobona koomba.
In proportion to the degree in which she has made ostentation of her glory, and lived in luxury, inflict upon her torment and grief. Because she has said in her heart, I sit as a queen, and am not a widow, and shall not see sorrow;
8 Nkaambo kako mubuzuba bomwe zipenzyo zyakwe ziyo musikila: Lufu, anzala: Uyo syukutwa amulilo, nkambo Mwami Leza ngusinguzu aboobo ngomubetesi wakwe.”
therefore, in one day shall her plagues come--death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be burnt with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judges 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 in luxury with her, shall mourn and lament, 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 fear of her torment, saying, Alas! alas! the great city, Babylon; the strong 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 wail and lament over her, because no one buys their wares any longer--
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 jewels, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and every odiferous wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble,
13 Kkinamono, tununkilizyo, alibbano, aamula, wayini, amatuta, abusu bunante, abulotwe, ang'ombe ambelele, ambizi ankalaki, amyuya yabantu.
and cinnamon, and perfume, and myrrh, and incense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and oxen, 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 which thy soul desired, are gone from thee; and all delicious and splendid things are departed from thee, and thou shalt never find them any more.
15 Bendelezi bazintu ezi abo bakaba bavubi akambo kakwe bayoyima kule kuzwa kuli nguwe musinzo nkambo kakuyowa kupenzegwa kupati.
The merchants of these commodities, who were enriched by her, shall stand afar off, for fear of her torment, weeping, and mourning,
16 Bayoti, “Maawe, maawe kuchisi chipati echo chakasamikidwe masani mabotu, mudowalowa, azisalala pyuu, aboobo wakalisakatide ingolida, mabwe mayandisi, angaale!
and saying, Alas! alas! the great city, that was clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and adorned 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 all these riches are laid waste. And every pilot, and every passenger, and the mariners, and all that bestow their labor upon the 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 to the 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 upon their heads, and cried, weeping, and mourning, saying, Alas! alas! the great city, by whose magnificent expenses, all that had ships in the sea were enriched; for she is made desolate in one hour!
20 “Amusekelele kwinda kwakwe amajulu, nywebo nobantu basalala anobatumwa anobasinsimi, pele Leza wamwetele lubeta alinguwe!”
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and you saints, and apostles, and prophets; for on your account God has pronounced sentence upon 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 strong angel took a stone, like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea; saying, Thus shall Babylon, the great city, he dashed down with violence, and never be found again.
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, of them that play the flute, and sound the trumpet, shall be heard no more in thee; nor shall the noise of the millstone be heard any more 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 lamp shall be seen no more in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom, and of the bride, shall be heard no more in thee: because they merchants were the grandees of the earth--because by thy sorceries were all the 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, even of all those who were slain upon the earth.
