< 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,
Mme morago ga mo gotlhe ka bona moengele yo mongwe a fologa kwa legodimong ka taolo e kgolo, mme lefatshe la phatsimisiwa ke kgalalelo ya gagwe.
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.
A goa a re, “Babelone yo Mogolo o ole, o ole; o fetogile boago jwa mewa e e maswe, le mefuta yotlhe ya mewa e e bosula.
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.
Gonne dichaba tsotlhe di nole mofine o o bolayang wa boaka jwa gagwe jo bo feleletseng. Babusi ba lefatshe ba akafetse nae, le babapatsi mo lefatsheng lotlhe ba humisitswe ke botshelo jwa gagwe jwa letlepu.”
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.
Mme ka utlwa lentswe le lengwe le bitsa le tswa kwa legodimong le re, “Mo tlogeleng, batho ba me; se tlhakaneleng dibe nae, e seng jalo lo tlaa otlhaiwa nae.
5 For her sinnes are come vp into heauen, and God hath remembred her iniquities.
Gonne dibe tsa gagwe di tlhatlagane selekanyo sa go fitlha kwa legodimong mme Modimo o ipaakanyeditse go mo atlholela melato ya gagwe.
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.
Mo direleng jaaka a lo diretse, le go feta foo, mo tlhatlaganyetseng petso ya ditiro tsa gagwe tse di bosula. O diretse batho ba le bantsi dinwelo tsa tatlhego, mo direleng fela jalo go menagane.
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.
O tshetse mo letlepung le mo botlhapelweng, tshwantshanyang matshelo a gagwe le khutsafalo le kutlobotlhoko, o ikgantsha a re, ‘Ke mohumagadi mo setilong sa me sa bogosi. Ga ke motlhologadi yo o se ka keng a itirela sepe. Ga nkitla ke nna le kutlobotlhoko’.
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.
Mme ke gone ka moo kutlobotlhoko ya loso le selelo le mmopamo di tlaa mo tlela ka letsatsi le le lengwe, mme o tlaa nyelediwa ka molelo; gonne Morena yo o mo atlholang o mogolo.”
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,
Mme baeteledipele ba lefatshe, ba ba tlhakanetseng ditiro tse di maswe tsa boaka nae, ebile ba itumelela go ratwa ke ene, ba tlaa mo hutsafalela fa ba bona mosi wa setopo sa gagwe.
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.
Ba tlaa emela kgakala, ba roroma ka poifo ebile ba lelela kwa godimo ba re, “Ijoo, Babelone, motse o mogolo! Tshekiso ya gagwe e tsile ka nako e khutshwane.”
11 And the marchants of the earth shall weepe and wayle ouer her: for no man byeth their ware any more.
Mme barekisi ba lefatshe ba tlaa mo lelela ka khutsafalo, gonne ga go ope yo o tlaa tlholang a reka dithoto tsa bone.
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,
Gonne e ne e le moreki wa bone yo mogolo wa gauta le selefera majana a botlhokwa, diperela, matsela a a boleta, sei e e bohibidu jo bo borokwa le bohibidu jo bo letlhololo le mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa ditlhare tsa dinkgisa monate, dithoto tsa dinkgisa monate, dithoto tsa naka lwa tlou le dijana tsa logong tse di tlhwatlhwa kgolo le kgotlho le tshipi le mmabole;
13 And of cinamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oyle, and fine floure, and wheate, and beastes, and sheepe, and horses, and charets, and seruants, and soules of men.
le ditswaiso tsa dijo, dinkgisa monate, le maswalo, setlolo le lebano, mofine, lookwane lwa motlhware, bopi jo bo boleta; korong, dikgomo, dinku, dipitse dikara le batlhanka, le mewa ya batho tota.
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)
Ba lela ba re, “Dilo tsotlhe tse o neng a di rata thata di fedile, dijo tse di metsegang le tse di kgorwang tse o ntseng o di rekisa ka tlhwatlhwa e kgolo ga di kitla di nna tsa gago gope. Di feletse ruri.”
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,
Mme jaanong barekisi ba ba humisitsweng ke go mo rekisetsa dilo tse, ba tlaa emela kgakala, ba boifa tlhokofatso, ba lela, ba re,
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.
“Ijoo, motse o mogolo o montle jaaka mosadi yo o apereng leloba le le boleta le bohibidu jo bo borokwa le bohibidu jo bo letlhololo, o o kgabisitsweng ka gauta le majana a botlhokwa le diperela.
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,
Ka motsotso o le mongwe, dikhumo tsotlhe tsa motse di fedile!” Le beng ba dikepe botlhe le balaodi ba dikepe tsa barekisi le badiri mo dikepeng ba tlaa emela kgakala,
18 And crie, when they see that smoke of that her burning, saying, What citie was like vnto this great citie?
ba lela fa ba bona mosi o tlhatloga, ba re, “Ke fa kae mo lefatsheng lotlhe mo go nang le motse o o ntseng jaaka o?”
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.
Mme ba tlaa itshela lorole mo ditlhogong ka kutlobotlhoko ba re, “Ijoo, Ijoo, a motse o mogolo! O o re humisitseng rotlhe ka dikhumo tsa one. Mme jaanong ka oura e le nngwe gotlhe go fedile…”
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.
Mme wena, legodimo, itumelele go wa ga gagwe; le lona bana ba Modimo, baporofiti le baaposetoloi! Gonne kwa bofelong Modimo o lo mo atlholetse.
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.
Mme moengele yo mogolo a tsholetsa lefika le le tshwanang le lolwala a le latlhela mo lewatleng mme a goa a re, “Babelone, motse o mogolo, o tlaa latlhwa jaaka ke latlhile leje le mme o tlaa nyelela ka bosakhutleng.
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.
Ga go kitla go tlhola go nna le moopelo gone, ga go kitla go tlhola go nna le dipiano, diletso le ditorompeta. Ga go kitla go tlhola go nna madirelo a mofuta ope teng, e bile ga go kitla go tlhola go nna le tshilo ya mabele.
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.
Go tla nna lefifi le legolo thata mo go ene; ga go kitla go tlhola go bonala lesedi la lobone mo fensetereng. Ga go kitla go tlhola go nna le meduduetso ya lonyalo le boitumelo jwa banyadi le banyadwi. Barekisi ba gagwe ba ne ba itsege mo tikologong ya lefatshe lotlhe mme o tsieditse dichaba tsotlhe ka boloi jwa gagwe.
24 And in her was found the blood of the Prophets, and of the Saints, and of all that were slaine vpon the earth.
Mme ke ene yo o neng a na le maikarabelo mo mading a baporofiti botlhe ba ba bolaetsweng tumelo le baitshepi.”
