< Revelation 13 >
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy.
Su njoka kagoloka mumpeku mwa bahali. Shakapanu numwoniti nkanyama mkalipa yumu pakalawa mubahali. Kaweriti na mituwi saba na magoli lilongu na kila ligoli liweriti na lijenjeri. Pamituwi yakuwi palembitwi litawu lya kumwigilanga Mlungu.
2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopardess, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority;
Nkanyama mkalipa ulii yanumwoniti kaweriti gambira duma na magulu gakuwi gaweriti gambira nkanyama dubu, mlomu gwakuwi guweriti gambira mlomu gwa simba. Njoka ulii kamupananiti nkanyama ulii makakala gakuwi na shibanta shakuwi na uwezu mkulu.
3 and one of his heads [was] as slain to death, and his wound of death had been healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast.
Mtuwi gumu gwa nkanyama mkalipa ulii guwonikaniti gambira shironda shikulu shashijega kuhowa kumbiti shironda shilii shiponiti. Wantu woseri wa pasipanu walikangashiti na nkanyama mkalipa ulii na kumfata.
4 And they did homage to the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they did homage to the beast, saying, Who [is] like to the beast? and who can make war with it?
Wantu woseri wamguwiriti njoka ulii toziya kamupananiti nkanyama mkalipa ulii uwezu wakuwi. Wamguwiriti vilaa nkanyama mkalipa ulii pawalonga, “Hashi, gaa yakawera gambira nkanyama mkalipa ayu? Hashi, gaa yakaweza kulikoma nayu?”
5 And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority to pursue its career forty-two months.
Shakapanu nkanyama mkalipa ulii kalekeziwa kutakula visoweru vya mtiti na kumwigilanga Mlungu, kalekeziwa kuwera na uwezu kwa shipindi sha myezi malongu msheshi na mawili.
6 And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven.
Su kanjiti kumwigilanga Mlungu na kuligilanga litawu lya Mlungu na pahala pakalikala na woseri yawalikala kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
7 And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation;
Kalekeziyitwi kuwakoma ngondu na kuwakanka wantu wa Mlungu. Kampananiti uwezu kwa wantu wa kila likabira na isi na ntambu ya wantu yawalonga na lukolu.
8 and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, [every one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of [the] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb.
Woseri yawalikala pasipanu hawamguwiri, wantu awa ndo walii matawu gawu galembitwi ndiri pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu, mushintola sha ukomu sha Mwanakondolu yakalikitulitwi.
9 If any one has an ear, let him hear.
“Yakawera na makutu, kapikaniri.
10 If any one [leads] into captivity, he goes into captivity. If any one shall kill with [the] sword, he must with [the] sword be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
Yawampangiliti kutolwa kuwera mloporwa mpaka katolwi kuwera mloporwa na ulii yakapangilitwi kulagwa kwa upanga hakalagwi kwa upanga. Su wantu wa Mlungu waweri na uhepeleru na njimiru.”
11 And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon;
Shakapanu numwoniti nkanyama mkalipa yumonga kankulawa pasipanu. Kaweriti na magoli mawili gambira magoli ga mwanakondolu na kayoweriti gambira njoka.
12 and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed.
Kaweriti na uwezu woseri kulawa kwa nkanyama mkalipa ulii gwa kwanja na kautendiriti uwezu ulii pahala pa nkanyama mkalipa gwa kwanja. Su katenda pasipanu poseri na woseri yawaweramu kumguwira nkanyama mkalipa ayu gwa kwanja mweni kaweriti na shironda sha kuhowa shashiponiti.
13 And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men.
Su nkanyama mkalipa ayu gwa pili katenditi mauzauza ga kulikangasha, kalaviyiziti motu kulawa kumpindi gusuluki pasipanu palongolu pa wantu.
14 And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast, saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived.
Kawapotoziyiti yawalikala pasipanu kwa mauzauza galii gakapananitwi kugatenda pahala pa nkanyama mkalipa gwa kwanja. Kawagambiriti yawalikala pasipanu wanyawi shinyagu kwa ligoya lya nkanyama mkalipa ulii yakatenduwitwi kwa upanga kumbiti kalikaliti kayi.
15 And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed.
Nkanyama mkalipa gwa pili kapananitwi uwezu kushitenda shipumuli shinyagu shilii sha nkanyama mkalipa gwa kwanja, su shinyagu shiweziti kutakula na kuwatenda wantu woseri yawalemiti kushiguwira shinyagu shilii, walagwi.
16 And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead;
Kawatenditi woseri watulwi shimaniziwu mumawoku gawu ga kumliwu na musheni zyawu, yawamanika na yawamanika ndiri, walunda na wahushu, wantu walekeru na wamanda.
17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
Na muntu yoseri hapeni kawezi kuhemera ama kuwuza shintu mpaka kaweri na shimaniziwu shilii. Shimaniziwu shiweriti na litawu lya nkanyama mkalipa ama walanga ya litawu lilii.
18 Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six.
Peni panu pafiruwa luhala! Yakawera na mahala kaweza kuvimana mana ya walanga ya nkanyama mkalipa ayu, toziya walanga ayi iwera walanga ya muntu. Walanga ayi ndo miya sita malongu sita na sita.
