Revelation 17
1 And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, came and spoke with me, saying, Come, and I will show you the judgment of the great harlot, that sits upon many waters:
Nake mũraika ũmwe wa araika acio mũgwanja, maarĩ na mbakũri mũgwanja agĩũka, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, nguonie iherithia rĩa mũmaraya ũrĩa mũnene, ũrĩa ũikarĩte igũrũ rĩa maaĩ maingĩ.
2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and all the inhabitants of the earth have been drunk with the wine of her whoredom.
Na nĩwe athamaki a thĩ maatharirie nake, na andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ makarĩĩo nĩ ndibei ya ũtharia wake.”
3 And he brought me, in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of slanderous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
Ningĩ mũraika ũcio akĩnjoya ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho, akĩndwara werũ-inĩ. Ndĩ kũu werũ-inĩ ngĩona mũndũ-wa-nja aikarĩire nyamũ yarĩ ndune ta gakarakũ, na yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ marĩĩtwa ma kũruma Ngai mwĩrĩ wayo, na yarĩ na ciongo mũgwanja na hĩa ikũmi.
4 And the woman was clothed with purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abominations and pollution of her whoredom.
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ehumbĩte nguo cia rangi wa ndathi na mũtune, na akegemia na thahabu, na tũhiga twa goro, o na ruru. Guoko-inĩ gwake nĩanyiitĩte gĩkombe gĩa thahabu kĩiyũrĩtio maũndũ marĩ magigi, na ciĩko cia ũtharia wake.
5 And she had upon her forehead her name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Thiithi-inĩ wake aandĩkwo rĩĩtwa atĩrĩ: KĨRIGA BABULONI ŨRĨA MŨNENE, NYINA WA MARAYA, NA WA MAŨNDŨ MOTHE MARĨA MARĨ MAGIGI MA THĨ.
6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Nĩndonire atĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio aarĩ mũrĩĩu, akarĩĩo nĩ thakame ya andũ arĩa aamũre, o na thakame ya andũ arĩa maarĩ aira a Jesũ. Na rĩrĩa ndaamuonire, ngĩgega mũno.
7 And the angel said to me, Why do you wonder? I will tell you the secret of the woman, and of the beast which carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Nake mũraika ũcio akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ: “Wagegio nĩ kĩĩ? Nĩngũgũtaarĩria hitho ya mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio na ya nyamũ ĩyo ahaicĩte, ĩyo ĩrĩ na ciongo mũgwanja na hĩa ikũmi.
8 The beast which you saw, was, and is not; and he will ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go to destruction; and the inhabitants of the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life, from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast who was, and is not, yet shall be. (Abyssos g12)
Nyamũ ĩyo wonire yarĩ ho, na rĩu ndĩrĩ ho, na ĩrĩ hakuhĩ kuuma Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi ĩthiĩ ĩkaanangwo. Nao andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ, arĩa marĩĩtwa mao mataandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo nĩmakagega mona nyamũ ĩyo, tondũ hĩndĩ ĩmwe yarĩ ho, na rĩu ndĩrĩ ho, no nĩĩrĩũka. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
“Ũndũ ũyũ ũkwenda gwĩciirio na ũũgĩ. Ciongo icio mũgwanja nĩ irĩma mũgwanja iria ciikarĩirwo nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio.
10 And they are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must endure for a little time.
Ningĩ nĩ athamaki mũgwanja. Atano nĩmeherete, ũmwe arĩ ho, na ũrĩa ũngĩ ndarĩ arooka; no ooka-rĩ, no nginya aikare o kahinda kanini.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, he is the eighth, and is of the seven, but goes to destruction.
Nyamũ ĩrĩa yarĩ kuo, na rĩu ndĩrĩ ho, nĩyo mũthamaki wa kanana. We nĩ ũmwe wa acio mũgwanja, na rĩu erekeire kwanangwo.
12 And the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, which have not yet received their kingdom, but they shall receive authority with the beast, as kings at the same time.
“Hĩa icio ikũmi wonire nĩ athamaki ikũmi arĩa mataahetwo ũthamaki, no nĩmakaheo wathani ta athamaki maathane ithaa rĩmwe hamwe na nyamũ ĩyo.
13 These have one mind, and shall deliver their own power and authority to the beast.
Marĩ na muoroto ũmwe, na nĩmakaheana ũhoti na wathani wao kũrĩ nyamũ ĩyo.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb; and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings; and those that are with him, are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Nao nĩmakarũa na Gatũrũme, no Gatũrũme nĩakamatooria tondũ nĩwe Mwathani wa aathani, na Mũthamaki wa athamaki, na andũ arĩa agaakorwo hamwe nao nĩ arũmĩrĩri ake arĩa metĩtwo, na magathuurwo, na nĩ ehokeku.”
15 And he said to me, The waters which you saw, on which the harlot sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Ningĩ mũraika ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Maaĩ macio wonire hau mũmaraya ũcio aikarĩte nĩ iruka cia andũ, na irĩndĩ, na ndũrĩrĩ, na thiomi.
16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and make her desolate and naked; and they shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.
Nayo nyamũ ĩyo wonire, na hĩa icio ikũmi nĩgũthũũra ĩgaathũũra mũmaraya ũcio. Nacio nĩikamwananga na ĩmũtige arĩ njaga; nĩikaarĩa nyama ciake, na imũcine na mwaki.
17 For God has given it into the hearts to execute his sentence, even to perform one purpose; and to give their kingdoms to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩekĩrĩte ngoro-inĩ ciao rĩciiria rĩa kũhingia muoroto wake na ũndũ wa kũiguanĩra mahe nyamũ ĩyo hinya wao wa gwathana, nginya ciugo cia Ngai ihinge.
18 And the woman which you saw, is the great city, that rules over the kings of the earth.
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wonire nĩwe itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩa rĩathaga athamaki a thĩ.”
