< Revelation 12 >

1 And a great sign was seen in heaven. A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars upon her head.
Nipele, chimanyisyo chakusimosya chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni jwankongwe jwambwechekwe lyuŵa ni lwesi pa sajo syakwe, ni pantwe pakwe paliji ni chindu mpela singwa jajikolochekwe ni ndondwa kumi na mbili.
2 And having in her womb, she cried out, suffering birth pains, and suffering to give birth.
Nombe jwankongwe jo ŵaliji pa chiilu. Nipele, ŵaliji nkulila ligongo lya kupotekwa ni chilungusi cha kuligopola.
3 And another sign was seen in heaven. And behold, a great fiery red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.
Chimanyisyo chine chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni lijoka lyekulungwa lyechejeu, lyana mitwe saba ni misengo likumi. Pantwe wauli wose paliji ni chindu mpela singwa.
4 And his tail drags the third part of the stars of the sky, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was going to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
Nchila wa lijoka lila, ukujiuta liunjili limo mwa maunjili gatatu ga ndondwa sya kwiunde ni kusiponya pa chilambo. Lijoka lyekulungwa lila lyajimi paujo pa jwankongwe jula juŵaliji chile kuŵeleka kuti nkuŵeleka pe, akamile kanache kakwe.
5 And she gave birth to a son, a male who was going to tend all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was taken up to God and to his throne.
Nipele jwankongwe jo ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume, juŵaŵichikwe chile kuti ŵalamule ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose kwa nkongojo wa chisyano. Mwanache jo ŵanyakulikwe ni kunjausya kwa Akunnungu, pa chitengu chao cha umwenye.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness where she has a place there prepared by God, so that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred sixty days.
Jwankongwe jula ŵautuchile kwiuto kwangali ŵandu. Liuto liŵampanganyichisye Akunnungu kuti agosekwe kweleko, kwa moŵa elufu moja mia mbili ni sitini.
7 And war developed in heaven: Michael and his agents to fight with the dragon. And the dragon and his agents fought.
Nipele, kwaliji ni ngondo kwinani. Che Mikaeli, katumetume jwankulu jwa kwinani ni achikatumetume achinjakwe ŵa kwinani ŵamenyene ni lijoka lila, lijoka lila pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe lyamenyene nawo.
8 And he did not prevail, nor was a place found for him any more in heaven.
Nambo lijoka lila ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ŵaputikwe, nipele ŵatopolekwe kwinani.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, called the Devil and Satan, he who leads the whole world astray. He was cast out to the earth, and his agents were cast out with him.
Lijoka lyalikulungwa lila, lyaponyekwe paasa. Lyele ni lijoka lya kalakala lyalikuwilanjikwa Jwachigongomalo pane Shetani, jwakwalambusya ŵandu ŵa chilambo chose. Jwaponyekwe pachilambo, pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe wose.
10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now it came to pass, the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. Because the accuser of our brothers was cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night.
Nipele napilikene liloŵe lyalikulungwa kwinani lichitiji, “Sambano ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu uiche! Sambano ukulupusyo uiche ni machili ni umwenye wa Akunnungu ŵetu ni ulamusi wa Kilisito jwasagulikwe aŵe Jwakuwombola! Pakuŵa ajula jwakwaŵechetela achalongo achinjetu paujo pa Akunnungu aponyekwe paasi. Jwelejo akwaŵechetela muusi ni chilo.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. And they loved not their life to the point of death.
Achalongo achinjetu wo ŵampundile Shetani kwa machili ga miasi ja Mwanangondolo ni kwa kwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni nkati chikulupi chao ku Che Yesu. Nganaunonyela umi wao, ŵaliji chile kuutyosya mpaka kuwa.
12 Rejoice because of this, O heavens, and ye who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.
Kwayele, nsengwe mmwe kwinani ni wose ŵakutama mwelemo. Nambo, ulaje kwa chilambo ni bahali, pakuŵa Ibilisi antuluchile ali ni lutumbilo lwalukulungwa, pakuŵa akumanyilila kuti gaasigalile moŵa kanandipe.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male.
Lijoka lyo palyaimanyilile kuti liponyekwe paasi pa chilambo, lyatandite kummutusya jwankongwe juŵambeleche mwanache jwannume jula.
14 And two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place. So that she might be nourished there for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Nambo jwankongwe jula ŵapegwile mapapiko gaŵili nti ga kapungu jwankulungwa, kuti akombole kuguluka mpaka mwipululu, kwiuto kuchagosekwe uchenene, kuti agosekwe kwa yaka itatu ni miesi sita, kwati lijoka lila ngalikombola kwika.
15 And the serpent cast water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might make her carried away by the flood.
Ni lyele lijoka lyakopwesye meesi gamajinji kutyochela mu kang'wa mwakwe mpela lusulo, kuti gankumbe jwankongwe jo.
16 And the earth helped the woman. And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Nambo litaka lyankamwisye jwankongwe jo, litaka lyaunukwiche mpela kang'wa ni kugamila meesi gagakopweche nkang'wa mwa lijoka.
17 And the dragon was angry toward the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, those keeping the commandments of God, and having the testimony of Jesus.
Lijoka lyantumbilile jwankongwe jula, lyajawile kukumenyana ni iŵelesi ine ya jwankongwe jo, yaani ŵakugajitichisya makanyo ga Akunnungu ni ŵakuukamulichisya umboni nkati usyene wausasile Che Yesu.
