< Revelation 18 >
1 And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of Heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory,
Sima na makambo wana, namonaki anjelu mosusu kokita wuta na Lola; azalaki na bokonzi monene, mpe nkembo na ye engengisaki mokili.
2 and he cried in might [with] a great voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! And she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,
Agangaki na mongongo makasi: « Ekweyi! Ekweyi! Babiloni monene ekweyi penza! Ekomi ndako ya milimo mabe, ebombamelo ya milimo nyonso ya mbindo, ya bandeke ya mbindo mpe ya banyama ya nkele.
3 because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom, and the kings of the earth committed whoredom with her, and merchants of the earth were made rich from the power of her indulgence.”
Pamba te bikolo nyonso emelaki vino ya kanda ya kindumba na yango. Bakonzi ya mokili basalaki ekobo elongo na Babiloni, mpe bozwi ya bato ya mokili, oyo basalaka mombongo, emataki makasi mpo na monzele na yango, oyo elekaki ndelo. »
4 And I heard another voice out of Heaven, saying, “Come forth out of her, My people, that you may not partake with her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues,
Bongo nayokaki mongongo mosusu koloba wuta na likolo: « Bino bato na ngai, bobima longwa na Babiloni mpo ete bosangana te na masumu na yango, mpe mpo ete bozwa te bitumbu oyo ekokweyela yango.
5 because her sins have reached up to Heaven, and God remembered her unrighteousness.
Pamba te masumu na yango esali mipiku kino na likolo, mpe Nzambe akanisi lisusu misala na yango nyonso ya mabe.
6 Render to her as she also rendered to you, and double to her twofold according to her works; in the cup that she mingled mingle to her double.
Bosala yango ndenge kaka yango esalaki bato mosusu, bozongisela yango mbala mibale mabe oyo esalaki bino. Kati na kopo oyo ezalaki kosalela mpo na komelisa bamosusu masanga, botia masanga oyo ezali makasi mbala mibale koleka.
7 As much as she glorified herself and indulged, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she says, I sit [as] queen, and I am not a widow, and I will not see sorrow;
Bonyokola mpe bosala yango mabe makasi ndenge kaka emipesaki na nkembo mpe na lokumu. Pamba te emikumisaka kati na motema na yango: ‹ Navandi lokola mwasi mokonzi, nakufisa mobali te mpe nakotikala kosala matanga ata mokolo moko te. ›
8 because of this, in one day, will come her plagues: death, and sorrow, and famine; and she will be utterly burned in fire, because strong [is] the LORD God who is judging her;
Yango wana, bitumbu nyonso ekokweyela yango na mokolo moko: kufa, matanga mpe nzala. Ekozikisama na moto, pamba te Nzambe oyo apesi yango etumbu azali Nkolo-Na-Nguya.
9 and the kings of the earth will weep over her and strike themselves for her, who committed whoredom and indulged with her, when they may see the smoke of her burning,
Tango bakonzi ya mokili, oyo bakabolaki elongo na yango bomoi na yango ya kindumba mpe ya bisengo, bakomona molinga ya engumba oyo etumbami, bakolela mpe bakoyoka mawa na tina na yango.
10 having stood from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! Because in one hour your judgment came.
Mpo na somo ya minyoko na yango, bakotelema na mosika mpe bakoganga: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene! Mawa na yo, Babiloni, engumba ya nguya! Kobebisama na yo ezwi kaka ngonga moko pamba! ›
11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore;
Bongo bato ya mombongo ya mokili bakolela mpe bakosala matanga na tina na yango, pamba te moko te akosomba lisusu biloko na yango:
12 cargo of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all fragrant wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,
wolo, palata, mabanga ya talo, mayaka, bilamba ya lino ya kitoko, bilamba ya motane ya pete, bilamba ya swa, bilamba ya motane makasi, banzete na bango ya solo kitoko, biloko na bango oyo basala na pembe ya nzoko, biloko nyonso oyo basala na banzete ya talo, na bronze, na bibende mpe na mabanga kitoko oyo babengaka marbre;
13 and cinnamon, and amomum, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.
eteni ya poso ya nzete oyo epesaka solo kitoko, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, malasi, mire, ansa, vino, mafuta, farine, ble, bangombe, bameme, bampunda, bashar, bawumbu mpe milimo ya bato.
14 And the fruits of the desire of your soul went away from you, and all things—the sumptuous and the radiant—went away from you, and no more at all may you find them.
Bakoloba: ‹ Biloko oyo ozalaki kolinga mingi ekimi yo mosika; biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kosala lolendo mpe lofundu na yo ebebi, ekotikala kozwama lisusu te! ›
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far off because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and mourning,
Bato ya mombongo oyo bamonaki bomengo komata mpo ete bazalaki kotekela engumba yango biloko na bango, bakotelema na mosika mpo na somo ya pasi oyo ekokweyela yango. Bakolela mpe bakosala matanga.
16 and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls—
Bakoloba: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene, yo oyo ozalaki kolata bilamba ya lino ya kitoko, bilamba ya motane makasi, babiju ya wolo, mabanga ya talo, mpe mayaka!
17 because in one hour so much riches were made desolate! And every shipmaster, and all the company on the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, stood far off,
Kaka na ngonga moko, bomengo nyonso esili! › Batambolisi nyonso ya bamasuwa, bato nyonso oyo basalaka mibembo na bamasuwa, bato oyo basalaka kati na bamasuwa mpe ba-oyo basalaka mombongo na nzela ya mayi, bakotelema na mosika.
18 and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city?
Wana bakomona molinga komata longwa na engumba oyo etumbami, bakoganga: ‹ Engumba nini ekokanaki na engumba monene oyo? ›
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! In which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness—for in one hour was she made desolate.
Bakobwaka putulu na mito na bango, bakolela, bakosala matanga mpe bakoganga makasi: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene epai wapi bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na bamasuwa na likolo ya ebale monene bakomaki bazwi mpo na bomengo na yo! Na ngonga moko kaka, obebisami! ›
20 Be glad over her, O Heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, because God judged your judgment of her!”
Likolo, sepela na libebi na yango! Bino mpe basantu, bosepela! Bino bantoma mpe basakoli, bosepela mpe lokola! Pamba te Nzambe alongisi bino awa akateli yango etumbu. »
21 And one strong messenger took up a stone as a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found anymore at all;
Bongo anjelu moko ya nguya akamataki libanga moko oyo ezalaki lokola libanga oyo basalelaka mpo na konika ble, abwakaki yango na ebale monene mpe alobaki: « Babiloni, engumba monene, ekobwakama ndenge wana, kaka na makasi moko wana, mpe ekomonana lisusu te.
22 and voice of harpists, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in you anymore; and any craftsman of any craft may not be found at all in you anymore; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in you anymore;
Mindule ya babeti mandanda mpe ya bayembi, ya babeti piololo mpe babeti kelelo, ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo. Bato ya misala ya maboko ya ndenge na ndenge bakomonana lisusu te kati na yo. Makelele ya mabanga minene oyo banikelaka ble ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo.
23 and light of a lamp may not shine at all in you anymore; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in you anymore; because your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were led astray in your sorcery,
Mwinda ekopela lisusu te kati na yo, mpe mongongo ya mobali mpe mwasi oyo bawuti kobalana ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo. Makambo wana nyonso ekosalema, pamba te bato na yo ya mombongo bazalaki bato na nguya ya mokili. Okosaki bato ya bikolo nyonso na nzela ya maji na yo.
24 and in her blood of prophets and of holy ones was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.”
Kati na yo, emonanaki makila ya basakoli, ya basantu mpe ya bato nyonso oyo babomamaki na mokili. »
