Revelation 17
1 And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven bowls, and he spoke with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show to you the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting on the many waters,
Moko kati na ba-anjelu sambo oyo bazalaki na bakopo sambo ayaki mpe alobaki na ngai: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo etumbu oyo mwasi ya ndumba monene oyo avandaka na bibale minene akozwa.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed whoredom; and those inhabiting the earth were made drunk from the wine of her whoredom”;
Bakonzi minene ya mokili basalaki ekobo elongo na ye, mpe bavandi ya mokili balangwaki vino ya kindumba na ye. »
3 and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of slander, having seven heads and ten horns,
Bongo kati na Molimo, amemaki ngai kati na esobe moko. Mpe kuna, namonaki mwasi moko avanda na likolo ya nyama ya motane. Loposo ya nyama yango etondaki na bakombo oyo ezalaki kofinga Nzambe. Yango moko nyama ezalaki na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
4 and the woman was clothed with purple and scarlet-color, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,
Mwasi yango alataki bilamba ya motane ya pete mpe ya motane makasi, babiju ya wolo, mabanga ya talo mpe mayaka. Na loboko na ye, asimbaki kopo moko basala na wolo mpe etonda na makambo ya nkele mpe ya bosoto ya kindumba na ye.
5 and on her forehead was a name written: “SECRET, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES, AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Na mbunzu na ye, bakomaki kombo moko oyo ebombaki makambo ya somo mpe oyo ndimbola na yango ezali: Babiloni monene, Mama ya Basi ya Ndumba mpe ya Makambo ya Nkele ya Mokili.
6 And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the holy ones, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I wondered—having seen her—with great wonder;
Namonaki ete mwasi yango alangwaki makila ya basantu mpe ya batatoli ya Yesu. Tango kaka namonaki ye, namitungisaki mingi.
7 and the messenger said to me, “For this reason did you wonder? I will tell you the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Bongo anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa? Nakoyebisa yo mabombami ya mwasi wana mpe ya nyama oyo ememi ye, nyama oyo ezali na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
8 The beast that you saw: it was, and it is not, and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and those dwelling on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written on the Scroll of Life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. (Abyssos g12)
Nyama oyo omonaki; oyo liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te; ekobima wuta na libulu moko ya monene mpe ya molili makasi, mpe ekokende na libebi na yango. Bavandi ya mokili, ba-oyo bakombo na bango ekomama te kati na buku ya bomoi wuta na ebandeli ya mokili bakokamwa tango bakomona nyama; pamba te liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, kasi ekoya lisusu. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,
Makambo oyo ezali penza kosenga mayele oyo bwanya engengisaka mpo na kososola yango. Mito sambo ezali bangomba sambo epai wapi mwasi avandaka.
10 and there are seven kings, the five fell, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it is necessary for him to remain a short time;
Ezali lisusu bakonzi sambo: mitano kati na bango basila kokweya na bokonzi. Moko azali sik’oyo na bokonzi, mpe mosusu ayei nanu te; kasi tango akoya, akowumela kaka mpo na tango moke.
11 and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and he is out of the seven, and he goes away to destruction.
Bongo nyama oyo, liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, yango nde mokonzi ya mwambe. Ezali mpe moko kati na bakonzi wana sambo, mpe ezali kokende na libebi na yango.
12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who did not yet receive a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast;
Maseke zomi oyo omonaki ezali bakonzi zomi oyo bazwi nanu bokonzi te, kasi bakozwa yango mpo na ngonga moko mpe bakosalela yango lisanga na nyama.
13 these have one mind, and they will give over their own power and authority to the beast;
Bango nyonso zomi bazali na likanisi kaka moko: kosangisa nguya mpe bokonzi na bango mpo na kosalela nyama.
14 these will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those with Him are called, and chosen, and steadfast.”
Bakobundisa Mpate, kasi Mpate akolonga bango mpo ete azali Nkolo ya bankolo mpe Mokonzi ya bakonzi. Elongo na Ye, babengami, baponami mpe ba-oyo bazali sembo bakolonga mpe lokola. »
15 And he says to me, “The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;
Anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mayi oyo omonaki, oyo mwasi ya ndumba avandaki na likolo na yango, ezali bato ya mokili, bangulupa ebele ya bato, bikolo mpe nkota.
16 and the ten horns that you saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her in fire,
Nyama mpe maseke zomi oyo omonaki ekoyina mwasi ya ndumba, ekobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe ekotika ye bolumbu; ekolia misuni na ye mpe ekotumba ye na nzela ya moto.
17 for God gave into their hearts to do His purpose, and to make one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the sayings of God may be fulfilled,
Pamba te Nzambe atia kati na mitema na bango makanisi ya kokokisa mabongisi na Ye moko Nzambe, na boyokani malamu mpo na kolatisa nyama wana nguya na bango ya bokonzi, kino mikano nyonso ya Nzambe ekokisama.
18 and the woman that you saw is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the earth.”
Mwasi oyo omonaki ezali engumba monene oyo ekonzaka bakonzi ya mokili. »
