Revelation 17
1 And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters,
Moko kati na ba-anjelu sambo oyo bazalaki na bakopo sambo ayaki mpe alobaki na ngai: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo etumbu oyo mwasi ya ndumba monene oyo avandaka na bibale minene akozwa.
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth, have been made drunk with the whine of her whoredom.
Bakonzi minene ya mokili basalaki ekobo elongo na ye, mpe bavandi ya mokili balangwaki vino ya kindumba na ye. »
3 And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Bongo kati na Molimo, amemaki ngai kati na esobe moko. Mpe kuna, namonaki mwasi moko avanda na likolo ya nyama ya motane. Loposo ya nyama yango etondaki na bakombo oyo ezalaki kofinga Nzambe. Yango moko nyama ezalaki na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
4 And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.
Mwasi yango alataki bilamba ya motane ya pete mpe ya motane makasi, babiju ya wolo, mabanga ya talo mpe mayaka. Na loboko na ye, asimbaki kopo moko basala na wolo mpe etonda na makambo ya nkele mpe ya bosoto ya kindumba na ye.
5 And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and the abominations of the earth.
Na mbunzu na ye, bakomaki kombo moko oyo ebombaki makambo ya somo mpe oyo ndimbola na yango ezali: Babiloni monene, Mama ya Basi ya Ndumba mpe ya Makambo ya Nkele ya Mokili.
6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.
Namonaki ete mwasi yango alangwaki makila ya basantu mpe ya batatoli ya Yesu. Tango kaka namonaki ye, namitungisaki mingi.
7 And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Bongo anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa? Nakoyebisa yo mabombami ya mwasi wana mpe ya nyama oyo ememi ye, nyama oyo ezali na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
8 The beast, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not. (Abyssos g12)
Nyama oyo omonaki; oyo liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te; ekobima wuta na libulu moko ya monene mpe ya molili makasi, mpe ekokende na libebi na yango. Bavandi ya mokili, ba-oyo bakombo na bango ekomama te kati na buku ya bomoi wuta na ebandeli ya mokili bakokamwa tango bakomona nyama; pamba te liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, kasi ekoya lisusu. (Abyssos g12)
9 And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are seven kings:
Makambo oyo ezali penza kosenga mayele oyo bwanya engengisaka mpo na kososola yango. Mito sambo ezali bangomba sambo epai wapi mwasi avandaka.
10 Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time.
Ezali lisusu bakonzi sambo: mitano kati na bango basila kokweya na bokonzi. Moko azali sik’oyo na bokonzi, mpe mosusu ayei nanu te; kasi tango akoya, akowumela kaka mpo na tango moke.
11 And the beast which was, and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into destruction.
Bongo nyama oyo, liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, yango nde mokonzi ya mwambe. Ezali mpe moko kati na bakonzi wana sambo, mpe ezali kokende na libebi na yango.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast.
Maseke zomi oyo omonaki ezali bakonzi zomi oyo bazwi nanu bokonzi te, kasi bakozwa yango mpo na ngonga moko mpe bakosalela yango lisanga na nyama.
13 These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast.
Bango nyonso zomi bazali na likanisi kaka moko: kosangisa nguya mpe bokonzi na bango mpo na kosalela nyama.
14 These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful.
Bakobundisa Mpate, kasi Mpate akolonga bango mpo ete azali Nkolo ya bankolo mpe Mokonzi ya bakonzi. Elongo na Ye, babengami, baponami mpe ba-oyo bazali sembo bakolonga mpe lokola. »
15 And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and nations, and tongues.
Anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mayi oyo omonaki, oyo mwasi ya ndumba avandaki na likolo na yango, ezali bato ya mokili, bangulupa ebele ya bato, bikolo mpe nkota.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.
Nyama mpe maseke zomi oyo omonaki ekoyina mwasi ya ndumba, ekobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe ekotika ye bolumbu; ekolia misuni na ye mpe ekotumba ye na nzela ya moto.
17 For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled.
Pamba te Nzambe atia kati na mitema na bango makanisi ya kokokisa mabongisi na Ye moko Nzambe, na boyokani malamu mpo na kolatisa nyama wana nguya na bango ya bokonzi, kino mikano nyonso ya Nzambe ekokisama.
18 And the woman which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
Mwasi oyo omonaki ezali engumba monene oyo ekonzaka bakonzi ya mokili. »
