< Revelation 12 >
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Nipele, chimanyisyo chakusimosya chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni jwankongwe jwambwechekwe lyuŵa ni lwesi pa sajo syakwe, ni pantwe pakwe paliji ni chindu mpela singwa jajikolochekwe ni ndondwa kumi na mbili.
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Nombe jwankongwe jo ŵaliji pa chiilu. Nipele, ŵaliji nkulila ligongo lya kupotekwa ni chilungusi cha kuligopola.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Chimanyisyo chine chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni lijoka lyekulungwa lyechejeu, lyana mitwe saba ni misengo likumi. Pantwe wauli wose paliji ni chindu mpela singwa.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Nchila wa lijoka lila, ukujiuta liunjili limo mwa maunjili gatatu ga ndondwa sya kwiunde ni kusiponya pa chilambo. Lijoka lyekulungwa lila lyajimi paujo pa jwankongwe jula juŵaliji chile kuŵeleka kuti nkuŵeleka pe, akamile kanache kakwe.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
Nipele jwankongwe jo ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume, juŵaŵichikwe chile kuti ŵalamule ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose kwa nkongojo wa chisyano. Mwanache jo ŵanyakulikwe ni kunjausya kwa Akunnungu, pa chitengu chao cha umwenye.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.
Jwankongwe jula ŵautuchile kwiuto kwangali ŵandu. Liuto liŵampanganyichisye Akunnungu kuti agosekwe kweleko, kwa moŵa elufu moja mia mbili ni sitini.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Nipele, kwaliji ni ngondo kwinani. Che Mikaeli, katumetume jwankulu jwa kwinani ni achikatumetume achinjakwe ŵa kwinani ŵamenyene ni lijoka lila, lijoka lila pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe lyamenyene nawo.
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Nambo lijoka lila ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ŵaputikwe, nipele ŵatopolekwe kwinani.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Lijoka lyalikulungwa lila, lyaponyekwe paasa. Lyele ni lijoka lya kalakala lyalikuwilanjikwa Jwachigongomalo pane Shetani, jwakwalambusya ŵandu ŵa chilambo chose. Jwaponyekwe pachilambo, pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe wose.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Nipele napilikene liloŵe lyalikulungwa kwinani lichitiji, “Sambano ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu uiche! Sambano ukulupusyo uiche ni machili ni umwenye wa Akunnungu ŵetu ni ulamusi wa Kilisito jwasagulikwe aŵe Jwakuwombola! Pakuŵa ajula jwakwaŵechetela achalongo achinjetu paujo pa Akunnungu aponyekwe paasi. Jwelejo akwaŵechetela muusi ni chilo.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Achalongo achinjetu wo ŵampundile Shetani kwa machili ga miasi ja Mwanangondolo ni kwa kwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni nkati chikulupi chao ku Che Yesu. Nganaunonyela umi wao, ŵaliji chile kuutyosya mpaka kuwa.
12 Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Kwayele, nsengwe mmwe kwinani ni wose ŵakutama mwelemo. Nambo, ulaje kwa chilambo ni bahali, pakuŵa Ibilisi antuluchile ali ni lutumbilo lwalukulungwa, pakuŵa akumanyilila kuti gaasigalile moŵa kanandipe.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
Lijoka lyo palyaimanyilile kuti liponyekwe paasi pa chilambo, lyatandite kummutusya jwankongwe juŵambeleche mwanache jwannume jula.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Nambo jwankongwe jula ŵapegwile mapapiko gaŵili nti ga kapungu jwankulungwa, kuti akombole kuguluka mpaka mwipululu, kwiuto kuchagosekwe uchenene, kuti agosekwe kwa yaka itatu ni miesi sita, kwati lijoka lila ngalikombola kwika.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Ni lyele lijoka lyakopwesye meesi gamajinji kutyochela mu kang'wa mwakwe mpela lusulo, kuti gankumbe jwankongwe jo.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Nambo litaka lyankamwisye jwankongwe jo, litaka lyaunukwiche mpela kang'wa ni kugamila meesi gagakopweche nkang'wa mwa lijoka.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Lijoka lyantumbilile jwankongwe jula, lyajawile kukumenyana ni iŵelesi ine ya jwankongwe jo, yaani ŵakugajitichisya makanyo ga Akunnungu ni ŵakuukamulichisya umboni nkati usyene wausasile Che Yesu.
