Revelation 18
1 And after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was enlightened with his glory.
Mgbe ihe ndị a niile gasịrị, ahụrụ m mmụọ ozi ọzọ ka o si nʼeluigwe na-arịdata. E nyere ya ikike dị ukwuu, ebube ya mekwara ka ihe jupụta nʼụwa.
2 And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird:
O ji olu dị ike tie mkpu, “‘Ọ daala! Ọ daala! Babilọn Obodo Ukwu ahụ adaala!’ Ọ ghọọkwala ọgba obibi ndị mmụọ ọjọọ nʼebe nzukọ mmụọ ndị ahụ na-adịghị ọcha, nʼebe nzukọ ụmụ nnụnụ rụrụ arụ nʼebe nzukọ ụmụ anụmanụ niile na-adịghị ọcha na ndị rụrụ arụ.
3 Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies.
Nʼihi na mba niile aṅụọla site na mmanya ọnụma nke ịkwa iko ya. Ndị eze nke ụwa sokwaara ya kwaa iko, ndị na-azụ ahịa nʼụwa aghọkwaala ndị ọgaranya site nʼoke ịba ụba nke ya.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
Mgbe ahụ, anụkwara m olu ọzọ si nʼeluigwe na-akpọ oku na-asị, “‘Ndị m, sinụ nʼime ya pụta,’ ka unu ghara iketa oke na mmehie ya, ka unu gharakwa iketa oke ahụhụ ya.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities.
Nʼihi na mmehie ya amụbaala ruo eluigwe. Chineke echetakwala ajọ omume ya niile.
6 Render to her as she also hath rendered to you; and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup wherein she hath mingled, mingle ye double unto her.
Mesonụ ya mmeso dịka o si meso unu. Kwụghachinụ ya ụgwọ mmaji abụọ maka ihe o mere. Gwakọọrọnụ ya mmaji abụọ nʼime iko mmanya ahụ nke ọ gwakọọrọ ndị ọzọ.
7 As much as she hath glorified herself, and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her; because she saith in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow; and sorrow I shall not see.
Nye ya ọtụtụ mmekpa ahụ na obi ilu dịka ndụ otuto, nʼime onwe ya obi ụtọ nke o nyere onwe ya. Ọ na-ekwu nʼobi ya na-asị, ‘Abụ m eze nwanyị nọ nʼelu ocheeze m. Abụghị m nwanyị di ya nwụrụ, iru ụjụ ọbụla adịghị nye m.’
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be burnt with the fire; because God is strong, who shall judge her.
Nʼihi nke a, ihe ntaramahụhụ ya ga-abịakwasị ya nʼotu ụbọchị, ọnwụ na iru ụjụ nke ọnwụ na-eweta, na ụnwụ. A ga-eji ọkụ rechapụ ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke onye na-ekpe ya ikpe, dị ike.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived in delicacies with her, shall weep, and bewail themselves over her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning:
“Ndị eze nke ụwa, ndị soro ya kwaa iko, ma bie ndụ ọchịchọ ọjọọ ya, ga-akwa akwa, ruo ụjụ nʼihi ya, mgbe ha ga-ahụ anwụrụ ọkụ nke ịkpọ ọkụ ya.
10 Standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying: Alas! alas! that great city Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Ha ga-eji oke egwu guzo nʼebe dị anya, kwaa akwa nʼihi ntaramahụhụ ya sị, “‘Ahụhụ, Ahụhụ dịrị gị, Babilọn, Obodo ukwu a maara aha ya gị Babilọn, obodo e ji ịdị ike maara. Nʼotu ntabi anya, ikpe nke gị na-abịa.’
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep, and mourn over her: for no man shall buy their merchandise any more.
“Ndị ahịa nke ụwa ga-akwa akwa ruokwa ụjụ nʼihi ya, nʼihi na ọ dịkwaghị onye na-azụ ihe ahịa ha ọzọ.
12 Merchandise of gold and silver, and precious stones; and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner of vessels of ivory, and all manner of vessels of precious stone, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble,
Ngwa ahịa ọlaedo gị, na ọlaọcha, na ọla e ji achọ mma na nkume oke ọnụahịa, ezi akwa ọcha, na akwa uhie uhie, na akwa lọrịlọrị, na akwa odo odo, osisi niile na-esi isi ọma, ihe niile e ji ọdụ enyi mee, ngwa ahịa niile e ji osisi niile dị oke ọnụahịa mee, bronz, igwe na nkume mabụl.
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Ha na ụda sinamọn na mmanụ otite nke ọkpụrụkpụ eso osisi na-esi isi ụtọ, máá na frankisens, mmanya na mmanụ oliv, ụtụ ọka na wiiti, ehi na atụrụ, ịnyịnya na ụgbọala agha, na ndị na-ere mmadụ ibe ha dịka ohu, na ahụ mmadụ na mkpụrụobi mmadụ.
14 And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee, and all fat and goodly things are perished from thee, and they shall find them no more at all.
“Ha ga-asị, ‘Mkpụrụ ndị ahụ niile nke na-agụ mkpụrụobi agụ e sitela nʼebe ị nọ gabiga. Ihe ọma niile i ji ebi ndụ, na ihe oke ọnụahịa niile i ji azụ afọ gị, efunarịla gị. Apụghị ịchọtakwa ha ọzọ mgbe ọbụla.’
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of her torments, weeping and mourning.
Ndị ahịa ahụ bara ọgaranya site nʼaka ya, ga-anọ nʼebe dị anya, nʼihi oke egwu nke ntaramahụhụ ya, na-eru ụjụ, na-ebesikwa akwa ike.
16 And saying: Alas! alas! that great city, which was clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and was gilt with gold, and precious stones, and pearls.
“‘Ahụhụ, Ahụhụ dịrị gị, obodo ukwu ahụ, nke e yikwasịrị ezi akwa ọcha, nke na-acha odo odo na ọbara ọbara nke nya ihe ịchọ mma nke ọlaedo, nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche na nkume pieal dị iche iche.
17 For in one hour are so great riches come to nought; and every shipmaster, and all that sail into the lake, and mariners, and as many as work in the sea, stood afar off.
Nʼotu awa a ka a lara oke akụ niile ndị a nʼiyi.’ “Ndị niile nwee ụgbọ na-aga nʼoke osimiri, na ndị na-akwọ ụgbọ ndị ahịa nʼoke osimiri, na ndị niile na-eso ụgbọ mmiri ga-anọ nʼebe tere anya,
18 And cried, seeing the place of her burning, saying: What city is like to this great city?
na-eti mkpu mgbe ha ga na-ele anya na-ahụ anwụrụ ọkụ na-ala elu site nʼire ọkụ ya na-asị, ‘Olee obodo ọzọ dịka obodo ukwuu a?’
19 And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices: for in one hour she is made desolate.
Ha ga-ekpokwasị aja nʼisi igosi obi ọjọọ ha na-eti mkpu akwa na-asị, “‘Ahụhụ, Ahụhụ dịrị gị, obodo ukwu a maara aha ya ebe ndị niile nwere ụgbọ mmiri na-aga nʼosimiri ghọrọ ndị ọgaranya site nʼakụ dị nʼime ya. Ma ugbu a, nʼotu ntabi anya, ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ ihe a laara nʼiyi.’
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
“Ma gị eluigwe, ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼihi ihe a dakwasịrị ya, unu ndị nsọ, ṅụrịakwanụ ọnụ, unu ndị amụma na ndị ozi, ṅụrịakwanụ ọnụ. Nʼihi na Chineke ekpeela ya ikpe nʼihi mmeso ya megide unu.”
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Mgbe ahụ, otu mmụọ ozi dị ukwuu tụtụlitere otu nkume nke dịka nkume igwe nri, tụba ya nʼime oke osimiri, na-asị, “Otu a ka a ga-esi tufuo Babilọn obodo ukwu ahụ, agaghị ahụkwa ya ọzọ.
22 And the voice of harpers, and of musicians, and of them that play on the pipe, and on the trumpet, shall no more be heard at all in thee; and no craftsman of any art whatsoever shall be found any more at all in thee; and the sound of the mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Ọ dịghị mgbe ọzọ ụzụ egwu ga-adị nʼebe ahụ. Agaghị anụkwa olu ọja na une na ụbọ akwara na nke ndị na-afụ opi ike nʼime gị ọzọ. Aghaghị ahụ onye ọrụ ǹka ọbụla nʼime gị ọzọ. Agaghị anụkwa ụzụ nkume igwe nri nʼime gị ọzọ.
23 And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for all nations have been deceived by thy enchantments.
Ìhè nke sitere nʼoriọna agaghị acha nʼime gị ọzọ. Olu obi ụtọ nke nwoke na nwanyị na-alụ di na nwunye agaghị adịkwa. Ndị mgbereahịa gị bụ ndị a ma ama nʼelu ụwa, ọ bụkwa mgbaasị gị ka e ji duhie mba niile nke ụwa.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Nʼime ya ka a hụrụ ọbara ndị amụma niile, na nke ndị nsọ niile, na nke ndị ọzọ ahụ niile e gburu nʼụwa.”
