Revelation 17
1 AND one of the seven angels who had the seven vases, came to me, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither, I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters:
Awo omu ku bamalayika omusanvu abaalina ebibya omusanvu n’ajja n’ayogera nange, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Jjangu nkulage ebigenda okutuuka ku mukazi malaaya omukulu atudde ku mazzi amangi.
2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and all the inhabitants of the world have intoxicated themselves with the wine of her whoredom.
Bakabaka ab’oku nsi bayenda naye n’abantu ab’oku nsi banywa omwenge ogw’obwenzi bwe ne batamiira.”
3 And he bore me away in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns.
Bw’atyo malayika n’antwala mu mwoyo, mu ddungu, ne ndaba omukazi ng’atudde ku kisolo ekimyufu ekyalina emitwe omusanvu n’amayembe ekkumi, okwali kuwandiikiddwa amannya agavvoola Katonda.
4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and all over decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and of the impurity of her whoredom.
Omukazi yali ayambadde engoye bbiri olugoye olumyufu n’olwa kakobe era ng’alina n’ebintu ebirala eby’omuwendo, nga zaabu n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, era ng’akutte mu mukono gwe ekikompe ekya zaabu nga kijjudde eby’omuzizo byonna eby’obwenzi bwe.
5 And upon her forehead was there a name written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother or harlots, and of the abominations of the earth.
Ebiwandiiko eby’ekyama byali biwandiikiddwa ku kyenyi kye nga bigamba nti: Babulooni Ekibuga Ekikulu Nnyina wa Bamalaaya bonna, era Nnyina w’Eby’emizizo mu nsi.
6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Ne ndaba omukazi ng’atamidde omusaayi gw’abatukuvu, awamu n’ogw’abajulirwa abattibwa olwa Yesu. Bwe namulaba ne neewuunya.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath seven heads and ten horns.
Malayika n’ambuuza nti, “Lwaki weewuunya? Nzija kukunnyonnyola ebyama eby’omukazi oyo era n’ekisolo kw’atudde ekirina emitwe omusanvu n’amayembe ekkumi.
8 The beast which thou seest was, and is not; and shall come up out of the abyss of hell, and shall go into perdition: and the dwellers upon earth will wonder, (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, ) when they shall see the beast which was, and is not, though he is. (Abyssos g12)
Ekisolo kye walabye kyaliwo, naye kaakano tekikyaliwo era mu bbanga ttono kiriggyibwa mu bunnya obutakoma kiryoke kizikirizibwe. Abantu abali ku nsi amannya gaabwe nga tegawandiikiddwa mu kitabo eky’Obulamu okuva ensi lwe yatondebwa, balyewuunya okulaba ekisolo ekyaliwo, ne kitabeerawo, ate ne kiddamu okubeerawo. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman is seated even upon them.
“Kale kyetaaga amagezi n’okutegeera. Emitwe omusanvu ze nsozi omusanvu omukazi kw’atudde, era be bakabaka omusanvu.
10 And these are seven kings: five have fallen, and the one exists, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must abide but a little while.
Abataano baagwa, omu y’aliwo kaakano, naye omulala tannajja wabula bw’anajja kimugwanira okubeerawo ekiseera kitono.
11 And the beast which was, and is not, though he is himself the eighth, yet is of the seven, and shall go away into perdition.
Ekisolo ekyaliwo, kaakano nga tekikyaliwo, ky’eky’omunaana, kyokka kiri nga biri omusanvu; era nakyo kirizikirizibwa.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms; but will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
“Amayembe ekkumi ge walaba be bakabaka ekkumi abatannaweebwa buyinza kufuga; balirondebwa okufugira wamu n’ekisolo okumala essaawa emu.
13 They hold one sentiment, and will give their own power and authority to the beast.
Bonna bassa kimu era baliwa ekisolo ekikambwe, amaanyi n’obuyinza bwabwe.
14 They shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings and they that are with him, are called, and elect, and faithful.
Bano balyegatta wamu okulwanyisa Omwana gw’Endiga, kyokka Omwana gw’Endiga alibawangula kubanga ye Mukama wa bakama era Kabaka wa bakabaka, abali awamu naye be yayita era abalonde be abeesigwa.”
15 And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, on which the whore sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Awo malayika n’aŋŋamba nti, “Amazzi ge walaba omukazi omwenzi kw’atudde, be bantu n’ebibinja by’abantu aba buli kika n’aba buli lulimi.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, they shall hate the whore, and make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her up with fire.
Ekisolo n’amayembe ekkumi bye walaba birikyawa omukazi oyo ne bimulumba ne bimulwanyisa, era birimuleka bwereere nga talina ky’ayambadde ne birya omubiri gwe, ne bimwokya n’omuliro.
17 For God hath put it into their hearts to do his will, to perform one purpose, even to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
Kubanga Katonda ye yakibiwa bituukirize ebyo bye yasiima okukola, n’okukola n’omwoyo gumu n’okuwa obwakabaka bwabwe ekisolo ekyo okutuusa ekigambo kya Katonda lwe kirituukirira.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which holds dominion over the kings of the earth.
Ate omukazi gwe walabye, ky’ekibuga ekikulu ekifuga bakabaka bonna ab’oku nsi.”
