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,
Lino mungelo umo pa bangelo basanu ne babili basa balikukute ndilo shisanu ne shibili walang'ambileti, “Kwesa ndikuleshe cisubulo Lesa nceti amupe usa mutukashi mufule usa munshi unene webakwa pa menshi angi.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed whoredom; and those inhabiting the earth were made drunk from the wine of her whoredom”;
Usa mufule wonanga ne bami ba pacishi capanshi, kayi wakolweshanga bantu waini wa bufule bwakendi.”
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,
Mpondalekatwa ne Mushimu wa Lesa, mungelo walantwala ku cinyika. Uko nkondalabona mutukashi kaliwatanta pa cinyama cifubela, calikuba calembwa maina mubili wonse akutukana Lesa. Kayi calikukute mitwi isanu ne ibili ne meca likumi.
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,
Mutukashi uyu walikuba wafwala byakufwala bya fubeluka ne byafubela byadula, walikobaika malungu a golide amushobo uliwonse. Walikukute nkomeshi ya golide mu cikasa cakululyo yesula ne bintu byasesemya, kayi byasafwana, bya cabufule bwakendi.
5 and on her forehead was a name written: “SECRET, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES, AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Pa nkumo pakendi palikuba palembwa lina lyashupa kulipandulula, lyakwambeti, “Babulo waya lulumbi, nyabo wa bafule bonse ne bintu bishikusesemya byonse bya mu cishi capanshi.”
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;
Kayi ndalabona mutukashi uyo katantalika, cebo ca milopa njalanwa ya bantu baswepa, kayi ne ya bakamboni ba Yesu mbobalashina. Mpondalamubona ndalakankamana.
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.
Lino mungelo walanjipusheti, “Inga nicani ncolakankamananga?” Ninkwambile sha mutukashi uyu, ne sha cinyama ncatantapo ne sha mitwi isanu ne ibili kayi ne sha meca likumi asa.
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)
Cinyama ncolabono calikubako, kayi cilashimangana, cilipepi kupula mucisengu, nomba nicikenga kuya kufwa. Lino bantu bekala pa cishi capanshi, babula kulembwa maina abo mu libuku lya bayumi kacitana cilengwa cishi, bakaboneti cinyama calikubako, calashimangana, kayeti cilesa, nibakakankamane. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,
“Pano epalayandikinga mano ne kunyumfwishisha. Mitwi isanu ne ibili isa pekala mutukashi, ilemanininga milundu isanu ne ibili, kayi iyi mitwi isanu ne ibili ilemanininga bami basanu ne babili.
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;
Bami basanu bafwa kendi, umo ucendelesha, wakupwililisha nkana esa. Nomba akesa nakekalowa kacindi kang'ana.”
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.
“Cinyama cisa calikubako, kayi calashimangana cilemanininga mwami wa cisanu ne citatu, uyo eti akapule mu mitwi isanu ne ibili, lino neye nakonongeke.”
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;
“Nawo meca likumi ngowalabona alemanininga bami likumi batana batatika kwendelesha. Nabo nibakapewe bwami, nibakendeleshe pamo ne cinyama kwa kacindi kang'anowa.
13 these have one mind, and they will give over their own power and authority to the beast;
Bami aba bali likumi nibakabe ne muyeyo umo, nibakape ngofu ne bwendeleshi ku cinyama.
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.”
Nibakalwane ne Mwana mbelele, lino Mwana mbelele pamo ne bantu bakwiwa bakendi, basalwa, kayi bakute lushomo, nibakabakome, pakwinga Yesu eMwami wa bami bonse.”
15 And he says to me, “The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;
Kayi mungelo walang'ambileti, “Asa menshi ngowabona pekala mutukashi mufule, alemanininga bishi ne bantu bankanda shapusana kayi ne milaka.”
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,
Nawo asa meca likumi ne cinyama ncowalabona nibikamupele mutukashi mufule, ne kumulamuna bintu byonse, ne kumufulula matakosha, nibakalye minyemfu yakendi ne kumutenta pa mulilo.
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,
Pakwinga Lesa nakabike kuyanda kwakendi mu myoyo yabo kwambeti basebensele pamo ne cinyama pakucipa ngofu shakwendelesha mpaka maswi a Lesa akakwanilishiwe.
18 and the woman that you saw is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the earth.”
“Mutukashi ngowabonanga ni mushi wayampuwo ulendeleshenga bami bonse pa cishi capanshi.”
