< Revelation 13 >
1 And the dragon stood on the sea shore. Then I saw a beast rising out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten small crowns on his horns, and had blasphemous names on his heads.
Mi kuzwa aho i dilagoni chilya zimana halusekeseke lwa helizo lye wate. Linu china bona chibatana chibbikuka kuzwa mwi wate. Chibena maziya e kumi ni mitwi yina sebeni. he wulu lya maziya habena mishukwe itenda ikumi, mi hamutwi ni mutwi haba kwina izina lishubula.
2 The beast I saw looked like a leopard, but his feet looked like those of a bear, and his mouth looked like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority.
Ichi chibatana chinibaboni chikola ubu ungwe. Matende acho abalikukola ubu matende ebere, mi kaholo kateni kabali ku kola ubu kaholo ko ndavu. I dalagoni libahi ziho zateni kuchili, ni mushukwe wa teni, ni buyendisi bu kolete bwa ku yendisa.
3 One of his heads seemed to have suffered a death-blow, but this fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder at the beast,
Umwi mutwi wa chibatana uba boneki kuti ube haiwa, kono chilabi chateni chi kando chibaholi. Bantu benkanda yonse baba komokwa nibe chilile chibatana.
4 and they worshiped the dragon because he had given his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, asking “Who is like the beast? Who could defeat him?”
Nabo mane baba lapeli i dilagoni, Kakuti ibahi ziho zayo ku chibatana. Baba lapeli chibatana, nacho, mi nibata kuti, “njeni yokola ubu chibatana?” mi “njeni yowola kulwa naco?”
5 He was given the ability to make great boasts and speak blasphemies, and he was also given the authority to do this for forty-two months.
Chibatana chi bahewa kaholo ka wola kuwamba manzwi abuli kuhumusi ni ku nyansa. Chiba zumininwa ku bonisa ziho ka mulao mu myezi itenda makumi onee ni yobele- 42.
6 As soon as he opened his mouth he spoke blasphemies against God, insulting his character, his sanctuary, and those who live in heaven.
Njikuti chibatana ni cheyalula kaholo kuwamba zi shubula Ireeza: ku shubula izina lyakwe, ku chibaka kwa hala, mane nabo bahala mwi wulu.
7 The beast was given power to attack believers and defeat them, and he was also given authority over every people, tribe, language, and nation.
Chibatana chiba zumininwa kuleta inkondo ni ba lumeli mi ni kuba kooma. Hape, impuso iba hewa kuchili he wulu lya mishobo yonse, bantu, malimi, ni nkanda.
8 Everybody living on earth will worship him, those whose names had not been written in the book of life—the book of life that belongs to the Lamb slain from the beginning of the world.
Bonse bahala hansi mubachi lapele, yense wezina lisa ñoletwe, kuzwa kumatangilo e mpupo ye nkanda, mwi Mbuka ya Buhalo, ili ye Mbelele, ibe haiwa.
9 If you have ears, listen!
Heba kwina wina kutwi, mumusiye azuwe.
10 Anyone who has to go into captivity will go into captivity; anyone who has to die by the sword will die by the sword. This demonstrates the patient endurance and confidence in God of the believers.
haiba nikwina yo twalwa mubukoba, mubukoba mwaye mo. Haiba kwina wi haiwa ni sabule, che sabule mwe haiwe. kunu ku sumpwa kwa ku lindila inako inde mi nintumelo yabana ba jolola.
11 Then I saw another beast, rising up from the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
Hape chinabona chimwi chibatana chitumuka kuzwa mwi inkanda. Chi bena maziya obele ubu imbelele, mi chiba wambi ubu i dilagoni.
12 He imposed the same authority as the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and those who live there worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
Chi babonisi zonse ziho za chibatana chamatangilo ha busa bwacho, mi chiba letisi kuti inkanda nabo bahala mwateni kulapela chibatana chamatangilo-icho chibena chilabi chikando chiba hozwa.
13 He performed great miracles, even bringing fire down from heaven to earth while people watched.
Chi ba tendi imboniso zikando. mane chiba bonisi ni mulilo uba soki hansi kuzwa kwi wulu habusu bwa bantu,
14 He deceived those who live on the earth by the miracles he performed on behalf of the beast, ordering the people that they should make an image for the beast who had received the fatal sword wound but came back to life.
Che mboniso ichiba zumininwa kutenda, chiba chengeleli abo bahala hansi. chibaba wambili ku tenda chi bumbantu mukukuteka chibatana chibena chilabi che sabule kono chiba hali.
15 He was permitted to breathe life into the image of the beast so that it could speak, ordering anyone who did not worship it put to death.
Chi ba zumininwa kuha luuho ku chibumbeho cha chibatana nji kuta kuti chibumbeho chi bakuwola kuwamba ni kuletela kuti bonse bakana ku lapela chibatana be hayiwe.
16 He made everyone, whether weak or powerful, rich or poor, free or slave, receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads.
Chi ba hambilizi zumwi ni zumwi, basena intuso ni ba kolete, ba fumite ni ba shebete, ba lukuluhite ni bahikana, ku tambula lusalo heyanza lya bulyo kapa ha bulubi.
17 Nobody was permitted to buy or sell except those who had the mark, which was the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Ke na ku ba ku woleka kwa zumwi ni zumwi ku ula kapa ku uuza, kwanda kuti wina lusalo lwa chibatana, nji kuti, nji nombolo izimanina izina lyacho.
18 Wisdom is needed here. Whoever has understanding should calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.
Ichi chisumpa butali, haiba kwina wina inkutwisiso, akopanye i nombolo ya chibatana, inombolo yamuntu, iyi nombolo nji 666.
