< Revelation 17 >
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters:
Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn angẹli méje náà tí ó ní ìgò méje wọ̀n-ọn-nì sì wá, ó sì ba mi sọ̀rọ̀ wí pé, “Wá níhìn-ín; èmi ó sì fi ìdájọ́ àgbèrè ńlá ní tí ó jókòó lórí omi púpọ̀ han ọ,
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.
ẹni tí àwọn ọba ayé bá ṣe àgbèrè, tí a sì fi ọtí wáìnì àgbèrè rẹ̀ pa àwọn tí ń gbé inú ayé.”
3 So he carried me away in the spirit (pneuma) 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.
Ó sì gbé mi nínú ẹ̀mí lọ sí aginjù: mo sì rí obìnrin kan ó jókòó lórí ẹranko aláwọ̀ òdòdó kan tí ó kún fún orúkọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, ó ní orí méje àti ìwo mẹ́wàá.
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:
A sì fi aṣọ elése àlùkò àti aṣọ òdòdó wọ obìnrin náà, a sì fi wúrà àti òkúta iyebíye àti perli ṣe é ní ọ̀ṣọ́, ó ní ago wúrà kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, tí ó kún fún ìríra àti fún ẹ̀gbin àgbèrè rẹ̀;
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
àti níwájú rẹ̀ ni orúkọ kan tí a kọ: Ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ Babeli ńlá ìyá àwọn panṣágà àti àwọn ohun ìríra ayé.
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.
Mo sì rí obìnrin náà mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ajẹ́rìí ikú Jesu ní àmuyó. Nígbà tí mo sì rí i, ẹnu yà mi gidigidi.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
Angẹli sì wí fún mi pé, “Nítorí kí ni ẹnu ṣe yà ọ́? Èmi ó sọ ti ìjìnlẹ̀ obìnrin náà fún ọ, àti ti ẹranko tí ó gùn, ti ó ní orí méje àti ìwo mẹ́wàá.
8 The beast that you saw 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 )
Ẹranko tí ìwọ ri nì, o ti wà, kò sì ṣí mọ́, yóò sì ti inú ọ̀gbun gòkè wá, yóò sì lọ sínú ìparun rẹ. Àwọn olùgbé ayé ti a kọ orúkọ wọn sínú ìwé iye láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé, nígbà tí wọn ń wò ẹranko tí o ti wà, tí kò sì ṣí mọ́, tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá, ẹnu si ya wọn. (Abyssos )
9 And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
“Níhìn-ín ni ìtumọ̀ tí o ní ọgbọ́n wà. Orí méje ni òkè ńlá méje ni, lórí èyí tí obìnrin náà jókòó.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.
Ọba méje sì ní wọn: àwọn márùn-ún ṣubú, ọ̀kan ń bẹ, ọ̀kan ìyókù kò sì tí ì dé; nígbà tí ó bá sì dé, yóò dúró fún ìgbà kúkúrú.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.
Ẹranko tí ó sì ti wà, tí kò sì ṣí, òun náà sì ni ẹ̀kẹjọ, ó sì ti inú àwọn méje náà wá, ó sì lọ sí ìparun.
12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
“Ìwo mẹ́wàá tí ìwọ sì rí ni ọba mẹ́wàá ni wọn, tí wọn kò ì ti gba ìjọba; ṣùgbọ́n wọn gba àṣẹ bí ọba pẹ̀lú ẹranko náà fún wákàtí kan.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí ní inú kan, wọ́n yóò sì fi agbára àti ọlá wọn fún ẹranko náà.
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.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni yóò si máa bá Ọ̀dọ́-Àgùntàn jagun, Ọ̀dọ́-Àgùntàn náà yóò sì ṣẹ́gun wọn: nítorí òun ni Olúwa àwọn Olúwa, àti ọba àwọn ọba: àwọn tí ó sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, tí a pè, tí a yàn, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun pẹ̀lú.”
15 And he says unto me, The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are races and tribes, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Àwọn omi tí ìwọ ti rí ni, níbi tí àgbèrè náà jókòó, àwọn ènìyàn àti ẹ̀yà àti orílẹ̀ àti onírúurú èdè ni wọ́n.
16 And the ten horns which you saw 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.
Àti ìwo mẹ́wàá tí ìwọ rí, àti ẹranko náà, àwọn wọ̀nyí ni yóò kórìíra àgbèrè náà, wọn ó sì sọ ọ́ di ahoro àti ẹni ìhòhò, wọn ó sì jẹ ẹran-ara rẹ̀, wọn ó sì fi iná sun ún pátápátá.
17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words (rhema) of God shall be fulfilled.
Nítorí Ọlọ́run ti fi sínú ọkàn wọn láti mú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣẹ, láti ní inú kan, àti láti fi ìjọba wọn fún ẹranko náà, títí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run yóò fi ṣẹ.
18 And the woman which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.
Obìnrin tí ìwọ rí ní ìlú ńlá ni, tí ń jẹ ọba lórí àwọn ọba ilẹ̀ ayé.”
