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:
Awo omu ku bamalayika omusanvu abaalina ebibya omusanvu n’ajja n’ayogera nange, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Jjangu nkulage ebigenda okutuuka ku mukazi malaaya omukulu atudde ku mazzi amangi.
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.
Bakabaka ab’oku nsi bayenda naye n’abantu ab’oku nsi banywa omwenge ogw’obwenzi bwe ne batamiira.”
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.
Bw’atyo malayika n’antwala mu mwoyo, mu ddungu, ne ndaba omukazi ng’atudde ku kisolo ekimyufu ekyalina emitwe omusanvu n’amayembe ekkumi, okwali kuwandiikiddwa amannya agavvoola Katonda.
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.
Omukazi yali ayambadde engoye bbiri olugoye olumyufu n’olwa kakobe era ng’alina n’ebintu ebirala eby’omuwendo, nga zaabu n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, era ng’akutte mu mukono gwe ekikompe ekya zaabu nga kijjudde eby’omuzizo byonna eby’obwenzi bwe.
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.
Ebiwandiiko eby’ekyama byali biwandiikiddwa ku kyenyi kye nga bigamba nti: Babulooni Ekibuga Ekikulu Nnyina wa Bamalaaya bonna, era Nnyina w’Eby’emizizo mu nsi.
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.
Ne ndaba omukazi ng’atamidde omusaayi gw’abatukuvu, awamu n’ogw’abajulirwa abattibwa olwa Yesu. Bwe namulaba ne neewuunya.
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.
Malayika n’ambuuza nti, “Lwaki weewuunya? Nzija kukunnyonnyola ebyama eby’omukazi oyo era n’ekisolo kw’atudde ekirina emitwe omusanvu n’amayembe ekkumi.
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)
Ekisolo kye walabye kyaliwo, naye kaakano tekikyaliwo era mu bbanga ttono kiriggyibwa mu bunnya obutakoma kiryoke kizikirizibwe. Abantu abali ku nsi amannya gaabwe nga tegawandiikiddwa mu kitabo eky’Obulamu okuva ensi lwe yatondebwa, balyewuunya okulaba ekisolo ekyaliwo, ne kitabeerawo, ate ne kiddamu okubeerawo. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
“Kale kyetaaga amagezi n’okutegeera. Emitwe omusanvu ze nsozi omusanvu omukazi kw’atudde, era be bakabaka omusanvu.
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.
Abataano baagwa, omu y’aliwo kaakano, naye omulala tannajja wabula bw’anajja kimugwanira okubeerawo ekiseera kitono.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, he is the eighth, and is of the seven, but goes to destruction.
Ekisolo ekyaliwo, kaakano nga tekikyaliwo, ky’eky’omunaana, kyokka kiri nga biri omusanvu; era nakyo kirizikirizibwa.
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.
“Amayembe ekkumi ge walaba be bakabaka ekkumi abatannaweebwa buyinza kufuga; balirondebwa okufugira wamu n’ekisolo okumala essaawa emu.
13 These have one mind, and shall deliver their own power and authority to the beast.
Bonna bassa kimu era baliwa ekisolo ekikambwe, amaanyi n’obuyinza bwabwe.
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.
Bano balyegatta wamu okulwanyisa Omwana gw’Endiga, kyokka Omwana gw’Endiga alibawangula kubanga ye Mukama wa bakama era Kabaka wa bakabaka, abali awamu naye be yayita era abalonde be abeesigwa.”
15 And he said to me, The waters which you saw, on which the harlot sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Awo malayika n’aŋŋamba nti, “Amazzi ge walaba omukazi omwenzi kw’atudde, be bantu n’ebibinja by’abantu aba buli kika n’aba buli lulimi.
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.
Ekisolo n’amayembe ekkumi bye walaba birikyawa omukazi oyo ne bimulumba ne bimulwanyisa, era birimuleka bwereere nga talina ky’ayambadde ne birya omubiri gwe, ne bimwokya n’omuliro.
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.
Kubanga Katonda ye yakibiwa bituukirize ebyo bye yasiima okukola, n’okukola n’omwoyo gumu n’okuwa obwakabaka bwabwe ekisolo ekyo okutuusa ekigambo kya Katonda lwe kirituukirira.
18 And the woman which you saw, is the great city, that rules over the kings of the earth.
Ate omukazi gwe walabye, ky’ekibuga ekikulu ekifuga bakabaka bonna ab’oku nsi.”
