< Revelation 18 >
1 And after these thinges, I sawe another Angel come downe from heauen, hauing great power, so that the earth was lightened with his glorie,
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 cryed out mightily with a loud voyce, saying, It is fallen, it is fallen, Babylon that great citie, and is become the habitation of deuils, and the holde of all foule spirits, and a cage of euery vncleane and hatefull birde.
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 For all nations haue drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the Kings of the earth haue committed fornication with her, and the marchants of the earth are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
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 voyce from heauen say, Goe out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sinnes, and that ye receiue 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 sinnes are come vp into heauen, and God hath remembred her iniquities.
Nʼihi na mmehie ya amụbaala ruo eluigwe. Chineke echetakwala ajọ omume ya niile.
6 Rewarde her, euen as she hath rewarded you, and giue her double according to her workes: and in the cup that she hath filled to you, fill her ye double.
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 In as much as she glorified her selfe, and liued in pleasure, so much giue ye to her torment and sorow: for she saith in her heart, I sit being a queene, and am no widowe, and shall see no mourning.
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 at one day, death, and sorowe, and famine, and she shalbe burnt with fire: for that God which condemneth her, is a strong Lord.
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 shall bewayle her, and lament for her, which haue committed fornication, and liued in pleasure with her, when they shall see that smoke of that 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 And shall stand a farre off for feare of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great citie Babylon, that mightie citie: for in one houre is thy iudgement 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 marchants of the earth shall weepe and wayle ouer her: for no man byeth their ware 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 The ware of golde, and siluer, and of precious stone, and of pearles, and of fine linnen, and of purple, and of silke, and of skarlet, and of all maner of Thyne wood, and of all vessels of yuorie, and of all vessels of most precious wood, and of brasse, and of yron, and of marble,

14 (And the apples that thy soule lusted after, are departed from thee, and all things which were fatte and excellent, are departed from thee, and thou shalt finde them no more)
“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 marchants of these thinges which were waxed riche, shall stand a farre off from her, for feare of her torment, weeping and wayling,
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 citie, that was clothed in fine linnen and purple, and skarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearles.
“‘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 houre so great riches are come to desolation. And euery shipmaster, and all the people that occupie shippes, and shipmen, and whosoeuer traffike on the sea, shall stand a farre 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 crie, when they see that smoke of that her burning, saying, What citie was like vnto this great citie?
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 shall cast dust on their heads, and crie, weeping, and wayling, and say, Alas, alas, that great citie, wherein were made rich all that had ships on the sea by her costlinesse: for in one houre 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 O heauen, reioyce of her, and ye holy Apostles and Prophets: for God hath punished her to be reuenged on her for your sakes.
“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 Then a mightie Angell tooke vp a stone like a great milstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, With such violence shall that great citie Babylon be cast, and shalbe found no more.
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 voyce of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpetters shalbe heard no more in thee, and no craftesman, of whatsoeuer craft he be, shall be found any more in thee: and the sound of a milstone shalbe heard no more 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 a candle shall shine no more in thee: and the voyce of the bridegrome and of the bride shalbe heard no more in thee: for thy marchants were the great men of the earth: and with thine inchantments were deceiued all nations.

24 And in her was found the blood of the Prophets, and of the Saints, and of all that were slaine vpon 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.”
