Revelation 17
1 Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
Yumo ywa malaika saba ywabile ni itasa saba kaisa ni kunimakiya, “Uichange, nalowa kukubonikiya hukumu ya kahaba nkolo ywatama nnani ya mase
2 The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.”
mengi, ywabile mpwalume ba nnema bapangite makowe ga uzinzi niywembe ni nnani ya mvinyo wa umalaya bake watama mu'dunia watileweshwa.
3 And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
Malaika kantola mu'roho mpaka mupongote, na nimweni nnwawa atami nnani ya mnyama nkele ywabile ni maina ga matukangano. Mnyama ywabile ni ntwe saba ni mbembe komi.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
Ywa nnwawa atiwala ngobo ya zambarau ni ngele ni apambwilwe kwa dhahabu, maliwe ga thamani, ni lulu. Abile akamwile kikombe sa dhahabu muluboko lwake sabile ni ilebe ya machukizo ya uchapu wa umalaya wake.
5 And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Nnani ya paji lyake liyandikilwe lina lya siri: “BABELI NKOLO, MAO BA MAKAHABA NI ILEBE YA MACHUKIZO GA NNEMA.”
6 I could see that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and witnesses for Jesus. And I was utterly amazed at the sight of her.
Namweni ya kuba nnwawa yoo abile atilebata wimbi kwa mwai ya baumini ni mwai ya balo bawile kwaajili ya Yesu. Mana kabamweni, nabile ni mshangao nkolo.
7 “Why are you so amazed?” said the angel. “I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
Lakini malaika kanibakiya, “Kwa mwanja namani watishangala? Nalowa kukubakiya maana ya yolo nnwawa ni mnyama ywantolile(mnyama ywabile ni ntwe saba na mbembe komi).
8 The beast that you saw—it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. And those who dwell on the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet will be. (Abyssos g12)
Mnyama ywamweni abile, ni abile kwa leno, lakini tayari kupanda kuoma mu'yembwa lyange yomoka. Boka po kayendelya ni uharibifu. Balo batamii nnani ya nnema, balo babile maina yabe yaandikilwe kwaa mu'kitabu cha ukoti tangu kubekwa misingi ya nnema-batishangala batimwona mnyama ywabile, kuwa yabile kwaa leno, lakini ywabile karibu kuyenda. (Abyssos g12)
9 This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
Wito wolo ni kwaajili ya malango ga hekima. Mitwe saba nga itombe saba yabile nnwawa atami nnani yake.
10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.
Ni kae nga apwalume saba. Apwalume atano gatombwike, yumo abile, ni wenge aichile kwaa bado; muda baichile, walowa tama kwa muda mwipi.
11 The beast that was, and now is not, is an eighth king, who belongs to the other seven and is going into destruction.
Mnyama ywabile, lakini ywabile, ywembe kae nga mpwalume wa nane; lakini nga yumo nkati ya balo apwalume saba, na atiyenda mu'uharibifu.
12 The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings, along with the beast.
Mbembe komi wazibweni nga apwalume babapokeyilwe upwalume, lakini kabapokya mamlaka kati apwalume kwa lisaa limo mpamo ni mnyama.
13 These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast.
Haba banashauri yumo, ni kabampeya ngupu yabe ni mamlaka yolo mnyama.
14 They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”
Kabapanga vita kati yabe na mwana ngondolo. Lakini mwana ngondolo alowa kubashinda kwa mana nga Ngwana wa mangwana na Mpwalume ba apwalume-na mu'ywembe twakemilwe, tuchaulilwe, baaminifu.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute was seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
Mamlaka kanibakiya, “Galo mache gaugabweni, kabatama yolo malaya nga bandu, makutano, mataifa na lugha.
16 And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
Mbembe komi zauzibweni-zabile ni yolo mnyama kabanchukiya yolo kahaba. Na kabampanga kuba kichake ni kana atewala ngobo, kabaulya bwega wake, ni kabautiniya mwoto.
17 For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
Mana Nnongo abekile mumyoyo yabe ni kupotwa kusudi lyake kwa makubaliano ga kumpeya mnyama ngupu kuntawala mpaka maneno ya Nnongo gabatimya.
18 And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
Yolo nnwawa wamweni nga mji wolo ubile nkolo wautawala nnani ya afalme ba nnema.”
