Revelation 17
1 AND there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Otu nʼime ndị mmụọ ozi asaa ndị ahụ ji efere bịara sị m, “Bịa, aga m egosi gị ahụhụ ga-abịakwasị onye ahụ ụwa niile maara dịka akwụna, onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ọtụtụ mmiri nke ụwa.
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Ndị eze ụwa esorola ya kwaa iko nʼotu ihe ndina, emeekwara ka ndị niile bi nʼụwa bụrụ ndị mmanya ịkwa iko ya na-egbu.”
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
O duuru m nʼime mmụọ baa nʼọzara. Nʼebe ahụ ka m nọ hụ otu nwanyị nọkwasịrị nʼelu otu anụ ọhịa na-acha ọbara ọbara. Anụ ọhịa ahụ nwere isi asaa na mpi iri. Aha ndị e dere anụ ọhịa ahụ nʼahụ bụ naanị okwu ikwulu Chineke.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Nwanyị ahụ yi akwa na-acha odo odo na nke na-achakwa ọbara ọbara, gbarakwa ihe ịchọ mma e ji ọlaedo, nkume dị oke ọnụahịa na pieal kpụọ. O jikwa iko ọlaedo nʼaka ya nke jupụtara nʼihe arụ na ihe ure niile o ji na-akwa iko ya.
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Aha e dekwasịrị ya nʼegedege ihu bụ ihe omimi: Obodo ukwu ahụ bụ Babilọn, nne ndị na-akwa iko na nke ihe arụ niile nke ụwa.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Ejikwa m anya m hụ na nwanyị ahụ aṅụjuola ọbara ndị nsọ afọ, ya na ọbara ndị ama Jisọs. Mgbe m hụrụ ya, ọ gbagwojuru m anya.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Ma mmụọ ozi ahụ sịrị m, “Gịnị mere ihe ị hụrụ ji ju gị anya? Aga m akọwara gị ihe omimi banyere nwanyị a na anụ ọhịa ahụ nke na-ebugharị ya, bụ nke nwere isi asaa na mpi iri.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)
Anụ ọhịa ahụ ị hụrụ, nwere mgbe ọ dịịrị, ma ugbu a, ọ dịkwaghị. Ma ọ ga-esi nʼolulu Abis ahụ pụta banye na mbibi. Ma nlọghachi ya ga-eju ndị ahụ a na-edeghị aha ha nʼime akwụkwọ ndụ ahụ site nʼoge e kere ụwa anya. Nʼihi na e nwere mgbe ọ dịịrị, ma ugbu a, ọ dịkwaghị, ma ọ ga-emesi bịa. (Abyssos g12)
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
“Nke a chọrọ uche nke nwere amamihe. Isi asaa ahụ nọchiri anya ugwu asaa ahụ nke nwanyị ahụ na-anọdụ nʼelu ha. Ha na-anọchikwa anya ndị eze asaa.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Ise nʼime ha adaala, otu ka nọ, nke ọzọ abịabeghị. Mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ga-anọ nwantakịrị oge.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Anụ ọhịa ahụ nke dịrịị ma ọ dịkwaghị, bụ onye nke asatọ, ọ bụ onye otu ndị eze asaa ahụ ma a lakwara ya nʼiyi.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
“Mpi iri ahụ ị hụrụ nọchiri anya ndị eze iri na-anatabeghị alaeze. Ha na anụ ọhịa ahụ ga-anata ike ọchịchị dịka eze sọọsọ otu awa.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Ha ji otu obi na-enye anụ ọhịa ahụ ike ha na ịchị isi ha.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Ha ga-ebu agha megide Nwa Atụrụ ahụ, ma Nwa Atụrụ ahụ ga-emeri ha nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe kachasị ndị nwenụ niile nakwa Eze kachasị ndị eze niile. Ndị so ya bụkwa ndị a kpọrọ, na ndị a họpụtara, ndị ya kwesikwara ntụkwasị obi.”
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị m, “Mmiri ndị ahụ ị hụrụ, ebe nwanyị akwụna ahụ nọ, bụ ndị mmadụ dị iche iche, igwe mmadụ, na mba dị iche iche na nʼasụsụ dị iche iche.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Anụ ọhịa ahụ na mpi iri ahụ ị hụrụ ga-akpọ nwanyị akwụna ahụ asị. Ha ga-agba ya ọtọ, laakwa ya nʼiyi, ha ga-eri anụ ya, werekwa ọkụ rechapụ ya.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Chineke etinyela ya nʼobi ha imejupụta nzube ya site nʼinwe otu obi nakwa inyefe anụ ọhịa ahụ ikike ọchịchị alaeze ha, tutu ruo mgbe a ga-emezu okwu Chineke.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Ma nwanyị a ị hụrụ bụ obodo ukwu ahụ na-achị ndị eze niile nke ụwa.”
