< 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.
Sima na makambo wana, namonaki anjelu mosusu kokita wuta na Lola; azalaki na bokonzi monene, mpe nkembo na ye engengisaki mokili.
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:
Agangaki na mongongo makasi: « Ekweyi! Ekweyi! Babiloni monene ekweyi penza! Ekomi ndako ya milimo mabe, ebombamelo ya milimo nyonso ya mbindo, ya bandeke ya mbindo mpe ya banyama ya nkele.
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.
Pamba te bikolo nyonso emelaki vino ya kanda ya kindumba na yango. Bakonzi ya mokili basalaki ekobo elongo na Babiloni, mpe bozwi ya bato ya mokili, oyo basalaka mombongo, emataki makasi mpo na monzele na yango, oyo elekaki ndelo. »
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.
Bongo nayokaki mongongo mosusu koloba wuta na likolo: « Bino bato na ngai, bobima longwa na Babiloni mpo ete bosangana te na masumu na yango, mpe mpo ete bozwa te bitumbu oyo ekokweyela yango.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities.
Pamba te masumu na yango esali mipiku kino na likolo, mpe Nzambe akanisi lisusu misala na yango nyonso ya mabe.
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.
Bosala yango ndenge kaka yango esalaki bato mosusu, bozongisela yango mbala mibale mabe oyo esalaki bino. Kati na kopo oyo ezalaki kosalela mpo na komelisa bamosusu masanga, botia masanga oyo ezali makasi mbala mibale koleka.
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.
Bonyokola mpe bosala yango mabe makasi ndenge kaka emipesaki na nkembo mpe na lokumu. Pamba te emikumisaka kati na motema na yango: ‹ Navandi lokola mwasi mokonzi, nakufisa mobali te mpe nakotikala kosala matanga ata mokolo moko te. ›
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.
Yango wana, bitumbu nyonso ekokweyela yango na mokolo moko: kufa, matanga mpe nzala. Ekozikisama na moto, pamba te Nzambe oyo apesi yango etumbu azali Nkolo-Na-Nguya.
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:
Tango bakonzi ya mokili, oyo bakabolaki elongo na yango bomoi na yango ya kindumba mpe ya bisengo, bakomona molinga ya engumba oyo etumbami, bakolela mpe bakoyoka mawa na tina na yango.
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.
Mpo na somo ya minyoko na yango, bakotelema na mosika mpe bakoganga: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene! Mawa na yo, Babiloni, engumba ya nguya! Kobebisama na yo ezwi kaka ngonga moko pamba! ›
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep, and mourn over her: for no man shall buy their merchandise any more.
Bongo bato ya mombongo ya mokili bakolela mpe bakosala matanga na tina na yango, pamba te moko te akosomba lisusu biloko na yango:
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,
wolo, palata, mabanga ya talo, mayaka, bilamba ya lino ya kitoko, bilamba ya motane ya pete, bilamba ya swa, bilamba ya motane makasi, banzete na bango ya solo kitoko, biloko na bango oyo basala na pembe ya nzoko, biloko nyonso oyo basala na banzete ya talo, na bronze, na bibende mpe na mabanga kitoko oyo babengaka marbre;
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.
eteni ya poso ya nzete oyo epesaka solo kitoko, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, malasi, mire, ansa, vino, mafuta, farine, ble, bangombe, bameme, bampunda, bashar, bawumbu mpe milimo ya bato.
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.
Bakoloba: ‹ Biloko oyo ozalaki kolinga mingi ekimi yo mosika; biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kosala lolendo mpe lofundu na yo ebebi, ekotikala kozwama lisusu te! ›
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of her torments, weeping and mourning.
Bato ya mombongo oyo bamonaki bomengo komata mpo ete bazalaki kotekela engumba yango biloko na bango, bakotelema na mosika mpo na somo ya pasi oyo ekokweyela yango. Bakolela mpe bakosala matanga.
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.
Bakoloba: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene, yo oyo ozalaki kolata bilamba ya lino ya kitoko, bilamba ya motane makasi, babiju ya wolo, mabanga ya talo, mpe mayaka!
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.
Kaka na ngonga moko, bomengo nyonso esili! › Batambolisi nyonso ya bamasuwa, bato nyonso oyo basalaka mibembo na bamasuwa, bato oyo basalaka kati na bamasuwa mpe ba-oyo basalaka mombongo na nzela ya mayi, bakotelema na mosika.
18 And cried, seeing the place of her burning, saying: What city is like to this great city?
Wana bakomona molinga komata longwa na engumba oyo etumbami, bakoganga: ‹ Engumba nini ekokanaki na engumba monene oyo? ›
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.
Bakobwaka putulu na mito na bango, bakolela, bakosala matanga mpe bakoganga makasi: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene epai wapi bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na bamasuwa na likolo ya ebale monene bakomaki bazwi mpo na bomengo na yo! Na ngonga moko kaka, obebisami! ›
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
Likolo, sepela na libebi na yango! Bino mpe basantu, bosepela! Bino bantoma mpe basakoli, bosepela mpe lokola! Pamba te Nzambe alongisi bino awa akateli yango etumbu. »
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.
Bongo anjelu moko ya nguya akamataki libanga moko oyo ezalaki lokola libanga oyo basalelaka mpo na konika ble, abwakaki yango na ebale monene mpe alobaki: « Babiloni, engumba monene, ekobwakama ndenge wana, kaka na makasi moko wana, mpe ekomonana lisusu te.
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;
Mindule ya babeti mandanda mpe ya bayembi, ya babeti piololo mpe babeti kelelo, ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo. Bato ya misala ya maboko ya ndenge na ndenge bakomonana lisusu te kati na yo. Makelele ya mabanga minene oyo banikelaka ble ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo.
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.
Mwinda ekopela lisusu te kati na yo, mpe mongongo ya mobali mpe mwasi oyo bawuti kobalana ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo. Makambo wana nyonso ekosalema, pamba te bato na yo ya mombongo bazalaki bato na nguya ya mokili. Okosaki bato ya bikolo nyonso na nzela ya maji na yo.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Kati na yo, emonanaki makila ya basakoli, ya basantu mpe ya bato nyonso oyo babomamaki na mokili. »
