< 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.
Jumo ughwa vanyamola lekela lubale alyale ni fitasa fiila lekela lubale akisa na pikum'bula, “Isa, nikukusona uluhighilo lwa mbwafu u m'baha juno ikukala mumalenga minga,
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.”
juno ava tua va iisi vavombile naghwoope isa vuvwafu na muluhuje lwa muvuvwafu vwa mweene vano vikukala mu iisi vaghalile.”
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.
Umunyamola akanoola mu mepo mpaaka kulukuve, nilya m'bwene u mwana mama ikalile pakyanya pa ng'anu indangali juno amemile amatavua agha nyamaligho. Ing'anu jilyale na maatu lekela lubale namapembe kijigho.
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.
Umwana mama alyafwasivue amenda gha sambalau ni ndangali apambilue ni sahabu amavue gha lutogo, ni lulu. Alyakolelile muluvoko lwa mweene ulwa sahabukino kimemile ifiinu fino fikalasia nhu vunyali vwa vuvwafu vwa mweene.
5 And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Pavweni vwa mwene lilembilue ilitavua lya vusyefu: “BABELI UM'BAHa, GHWE NG'INA GHWA VAMALAYA NI FINU FINO FIKARASI MU IISI.”
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.
Nikalula kuuti umwanamama uju akaghalile idanda ja vitiki ni danda javano valyafwile vwimila u Yesu. Unsiki ghuno nilyam'bwene, nikadeghile kyongo.
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.
Looli umunyamola akam'bula, “Kiki ghudegha? Nikukwolelela uvu mama kye kiinu kiki nu ng'aanu ikuntokla (ing'aanu ijio jinyamaatu lekela lubale namapembe ghala kijigho).
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 )
Ing'anu jino ukajivwene pwejikale, nakwejili kange lino, looli jiling'anisie kuhuma mu lina linlo lisila vusililo. Kange jighendelelaghe kuvomba uvunangi. Kuvala vano vikukala mu iisi, vala vano amatavua gha vanave naghalembilue mukitabu ikya vwuumi kuhuma livikua ulwalo lwa iisi - vilidegha pano vikujivona ing'anu jino pwiili, kuuti na pe jiili lino, looli alipipi pikwisa. (Abyssos )
9 This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
Ing'emelo iiji vwimila vwa haala sino sivungike. Amaatu lekela lubale ni fidunda lekela lubale pano umwana mama alikalile lakyanya pa fyeene.
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.
Joope kange ve vaatua lekela lubale. Ava tua vahano vaghwile, jumo kwale, jumo akyale na isile; unsiki ghuno ikwisa, ikukala unsiki n'debe.
11 The beast that was, and now is not, is an eighth king, who belongs to the other seven and is going into destruction.
Ing'anu jino kwejilyale, looli lino napwiili, kange ghwe ntua ghwa lekela kwooni, looli ghwe jumo na vutua lekela lubale, kange iluta kuvunangi.
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.
Amapembe ghala kijigho ghano akaghavweene ve vatua kijigho vano navupiile uvutua, looli vikwupila uvutavulilua hwene vatua ku kivalilo kimo palikimo ni ng'anu.
13 These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast.
Ava vali nu n'kolo ghumo pevikupela ingufu sa vanave nuvutavulilua vwa ng'aanu jiila.
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.”
Vilua ililugu avene nu mwana ng'olo. Looli umwanang'olo ikuvalefia ulwakuva Mutwa ghwa vatua Ntua ghwa vatua - mwamwene tukemelilue, tusalulivue, vapesie.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute was seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
Umunyamola akam'bula, “Amalenga ghala ghano akaghavwene, pala pano akikalileumalaya jula ve vaanhu, fupugha, fisina ni njovele.
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.
Amapembe ghala kijigho ghano aka ghavwene - ni ng'aanu jila vikusulagha u malaya juula. Voope vikum'bikagha mwene kange vufula, vilisagha um'biili ghwa mwene, pe vinyanyilila nu mwooto.
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.
Ulwakuva u Nguluve avikile mu mojo gha vanave kum'pinda uluhuvilo lwa mwene ku lwiting'ano ulwakujipela ing'ano ingufu sivanave pikun'ema m'paka amasio gha Nguluve ghiiliva ghikwilana.
18 And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
Umwanamama jula juno alyam'bwene lye likaja lila ilivaha lino litemile uvutua vwa iisi.”
