Revelation 17
1 And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls, came and spoke with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, the one sitting upon many waters:
Mmonga wa vala vamitumu saba va kunani kwa Chapanga vevavi na nkeve akabwela, akanijovela, “Bwelayi, na nene yati nikulangisa uhamula weapewili yula mkemi mkulu, mweitama pamuhana ya manji gamahele.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those dwelling upon the earth were made drunk from the wine of her fornication.
Vankosi va pamulima vakitili ukemi pamonga nayu, na vandu va pamulima vagalili divayi ya ukemi waki.”
3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, having the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Kangi, Mpungu wa Chapanga anitolili na Mtumu wa kunani akanipeleka mbaka kulugangatu, namuwene mdala atamili panani ya chinyama chidung'u. Chinyama chila gayandikwi mahina ga kumliga Chapanga, chavi na mitu saba na mang'elu kumi.
4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication:
Mdala yula awali nyula za langi ya zambalau na yidung'u, ajinyambisi vindu vyevitengenizwi kwa zahabu na maganga ga mashonga gamahele na lulu. Mu mawoko gaki akamwili chikombi cha zahabu chechimemili mambu gegilangisa yomeso ya ukemi waki.
5 and upon her forehead her name was written; Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots And The Abominations of The Earth.
Ayandikwi panani ya chiwungi cha mihu gaki liina la mfiyu, “Babeli mkulu, nyina wa vakemi na mambu goha ga yomeso neju lwa mulima.”
6 And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and seeing her, I was astonished with great astonishment.
Namuwene uyo mdala agalili ngasi ya vandu va Chapanga, na ngasi ya vandu vevakomiwi ndava ya kuvajovela vandu vangi mambu ga Yesu. Na penamuwene nakangisi neju.
7 And the angel said to me, Wherefore wast thou astonished? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast which carries her, having the seven heads and ten horns.
Nambu mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akanijovela, “Ndava kyani wikangasa?” Nene yati nikukujovela mfiyu wa mdala uyu mweatamili panani ya chinyama chechivii na mitu saba na mang'elu kumi.
8 The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and go into perdition: and those dwelling upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, seeing the beast, because he was, and is not, and will be. (Abyssos g12)
Chinyama chikali cheuchiwene chavi wumi wa kadeni nambu hinu chifwili. Nambu gapipi yati chikwela kuhuma muligodi langali mwishu nambu yati chikomewa. Vevitama pamulima yati vikangasa, ena vandu voha vangayandikwa mahina gavi kutumbula muchitabu cha wumi wa mulima, yati vikangasa kuchilola chinyama penapo kadeni chavi mumi, kavili chafwili na hinu chihumila kangi! (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is a mind having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits upon them,
Penapa yiganikiwa kuhololela na luhala! Mitu iyo saba ndi vidunda saba ndi mdala mwenuyo itama panani yaki. Mewawa mitu yeniyo saba ndi vankosi saba.
10 and there are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, and another is not yet come; and when he may come it behooves him to remain a little while.
Pagati ya avo vankosi saba mhanu vamali kukomewa, mmonga yati ilongosa akona yungi kubwela, na peibwela yati ilongosa mulukumbi luhupi.
11 The beast which was, and is not, and the same is the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going into perdition.
Na chinyama chikali chila chechatamili kadeni nambu hinu chitamili lepi kavili ndi nkosi wa nane, ndi pagati ya vala saba na mwene yati ikomiwa.
12 And the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, who live not yet received a kingdom; but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
“Gala mang'elu kumi gevagawene ndi vankosi vevakona kutumbula kulongosa. Nambu yati vipewa uhotola wa kulongosa kwa lukumbi lwa saa yimonga pamonga na chinyama chila.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Voha avo kumi yati viyidakilana, na vene yati vachipela chila chinyama makakala gavi na uhotola wavi woha wa kulongosa vandu.
14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them, because he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings: and with him are the called, and the elect, and the faithful.
Yati vitovana na Mwanalimbelele nambu Mwanalimbelele pamonga na vala veavakemili na kuvahagula na vasadikika, yati akuvahotola ndava mwene ndi Bambu wa mabambu na Nkosi wa vankosi.”
15 And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akanijovela mewa, “Gala manji gewagawene pala peatamili yula mkemi, ndi misambi ya vandu va kila mulima na kila lukolo na kila luga na kila langi.
16 And the ten horns which you saw and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire;
Mang'elu gala kumi geugaweni na chila chinyama yati vakumuyomela mwenuyo mkemi, yati vitola kila chindu na kumleka waka, yati vilya nyama yaki na kutinyisa kwa motu.
17 for God has given it into their hearts to do his mind, and to have one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Muni Chapanga asopili mumitima yavi chila cheigana mwene chikitiwayi, kuvya vayidakilana vene kwa vene kumpela chinyama chila uhotola wa kulongosa, mbaka Malovi ga Chapanga pegitimila.”
18 And the woman whom you saw is the great city, the one having dominion over the kings of the earth.
“Na yula mdala mwewamuwene ndi muji mkulu wewilongosa vankosi va milima.”
