< Revelation 17 >
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
Yumu gwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi saba walii, yawaweriti na mabakuli saba kiziti na kang'ambiriti, “Gwizi na neni hanukulanguziyi utoza yakapananitwi mndiyandiya mkulu ulii, yakalivagiti pambeku na mashi gavuwa.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."
Wafalumi wa pasipanu watenditi uhumba pamuhera nayomberi na wantu yawalikala pasipanu walowera divayi ya uhumba wakuwi.”
3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
Shakapanu Rohu gwa Mlungu kanjegiti na ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kanjegiti kushiwara. Kweni aku numwona mdala kalivagiti pankanyama mkalipa msheri. Nkanyama mkalipa ayu kaweriti kalembwa kila pahala matawu ga kumwigilanga Mlungu, kaweriti na mituwi saba na magoli lilongu.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
Mdala ayu kaweriti kavala nguwu langi ya zambalawu na nsheri, kaweriti kalihelipiziya kwa zaabu na vintu vinyawitwi kwa mabuwi ga beyi nkulu na mabuwi ga lulu. Mumawoku mwakuwi kaweriti na lutekeru lwa zaabu lwaluweliti lumema makalaliru na vitwatira vidoda vya uhumba wakuwi.
5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Pashiwunji shakuwi palembitwi visoweru vya litawu lyana mana ya bada, “Babiloni mkulu, mawu gwa wandiyandiya na gwa vitwatira vyoseri vya kukalaziya nentu pasipanu.”
6 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Numwona mdala ayu kalowera mwazi gwa wantu wa Mlungu na mwazi gwa wantu yawalagitwi toziya ya kuwera wakapitawu kwa Yesu. Panumwoniti nulikangashiti nentu.
7 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kang'ambira, “Iwera hashi gwankulikangasha. Neni hanukugambiri mana ya bada yaififikiti ya mdala ayu na nkanyama mkalipa ayu yakampapiti, nkanyama mkalipa yakawera na mituwi saba na magoli lilongu.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and is going to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, but is to come. (Abyssos )
Nkanyama mkalipa ayu yagumwoniti, kaweriti mkomu pakwanja kumbiti vinu kahowa. Kayi kapakwegera kulawa mulirindi lyalihera upeleru kugenda kuharabisiwa. Wantu yawalikala pasipanu hawalikangashi, wantu woseri matawu gawu galembitwi ndiri mushintola sha ukomu kwanjira kunyawa kwa pasipanu, hawalikangashi kumwona nkanyama mkalipa ayu kwanja kalikaliti, shakapanu kafuwa na vinu hakalawili kayi. (Abyssos )
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
“Panu pafiruwa mahala na luhala! Mituwi saba ayi ndo vigongu saba mdala ayu kalivagiti. Mituwi ayi viraa ndo wafalumi saba.
10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
Pakati pa wafalumi saba, wamhanu yawagamiliti kala, yumu kankali kankukolamlima na yumonga ulii kankali kwiza na pakasoka kafiruwa hakakolimlima kwa shipindi shididini.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
Na nkanyama mkalipa ayu yakaweriti kankulikala kwanja, kumbiti vinu kalikala ndiri kayi ndo mfalumi gwa nani na yomberi viraa ndo yumu gwawu gwa walii saba na kuharabisiwa.
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
“Magoli galii lilongu yagugawoniti ndo wafalumi lilongu weni haweniyanji kukolamlima. Kumbiti hawapananwi uwezu wa kukolamlima kwa shipindi sha saa yimu pamuhera na nkanyama mkalipa ulii.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Woseri awa lilongu wawera na nfiru yimu na hawamupanani nkanyama mkalipa ulii makakala na uwezu wawu.
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
Hawalikomangi na Mwanakondolu na kumbiti Mwanakondolu pamuhera na walii yakawashemiti na kuwasyagula weni ndo waminika hakawakanki toziya yomberi ndo Mtuwa gwa watuwa na Mfalumi gwa wafalumi.”
15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kang'ambira vilaa, “Mashi galii yagugawoniti palii pakalivagiti mndiyandiya ulii, ndo mapinga ga wantu wa kulawa kila isi, ukowu na luga.
16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
Na magoli lilongu galii gagugawoniti na nkanyama mkalipa ulii hawamkalalili mndiyandiya ulii. Hawatoli kila shintu shakawera nashu na kumleka shivula hera, hawalii vinofu vya nshimba yakuwi na kumlunguziya kwa motu.
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
Toziya Mlungu kalekera mumyoyu mwawu nfiru ya kutenda mafiliru gakuwi, su walijimirani womberi kwa womberi na kumpanana nkanyama mkalipa ayu makakala ga kukolamlima mpaka galii gagatakuliti Mlungu pagatendeka.
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
“Na mdala ulii yagumwoniti ndo lushi lulii lukulu lwaluwera na ukukolamlima wawafalumi wa pasipanu.”
