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,
Zvino kwakauya umwe wevatumwa vanomwe vakange vane ndiro nomwe, ndokutaura neni, achiti kwandiri: Uya pano, ndicharatidza kwauri mutongo wemhombwe huru igere pamusoro pemvura zhinji;
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."
madzimambo enyika aakaita upombwe nayo, nevagari vepanyika vakadhakiswa newaini yeupombwe hwayo.
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.
Zvino wakandisengera kurenje mumweya, uye ndakaona mukadzi akatasva chikara chitsvuku, chizere nemazita ekunyomba, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi.
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.
Zvino mukadzi wakange akamonera zvine ruvara rwehute nezvitsvuku, uye akashonga goridhe nemabwe anokosha nemaparera, ane mukombe wegoridhe muruoko rwake uzere nezvinosemesa netsvina yeupombwe hwake.
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."
Nepahuma yake pakange pakanyorwa zita rekuti: CHAKAVANZIKA, BHABHIRONI GURU, MAI VEMHOMBWE NEZVINOSEMESA ZVENYIKA.
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.
Zvino ndakaona mukadzi akararadza neropa revatsvene, uye neropa rezvapupu zvaJesu. Zvino ndakati ndamuona ndikashamisika nekushamisika kukuru.
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.
Zvino mutumwa akati kwandiri: Washamisika nei? Ini ndichakuudza chakavanzika chemukadzi, nechechikara chinomutakura, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi.
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 g12)
Chikara chawakaona, chaivapo, uye chisipo; uye choda kukwira chichibva mugomba risina chigadziko, chichienda mukuparadzwa; uye vanogara panyika vasina kunyorwa mazita avo mubhuku reupenyu kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika vachashamisika vachiona chikara chaivapo uye chisipo, kunyange chiripo. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
Zvino heino fungwa ine njere. Misoro minomwe ndiwo makomo manomwe mukadzi paagere pamusoro pawo,
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.
uye ndiwo madzimambo manomwe; vashanu vawa, uye umwe aripo, umwe haasati asvika; uye kana achisvika, anofanira kugara chinguvana.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
Uye chikara chaivapo, uye chisipo, ndiyewo werusere, uye anobva pavanomwe, uye anoenda mukuparadzwa.
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.
Nenyanga gumi dzawaona, ndiwo madzimambo gumi, asati agamuchira ushe, asi achagamuchira simba semadzimambo pamwe nechikara awa rimwe.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Ava vane fungwa imwe, uye vanopa simba neutongi hwavo kuchikara.
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."
Ava vacharwa neGwayana, uye Gwayana richavakunda, nokuti ndiIshe wemadzishe naMambo wemadzimambo; nevanaro ndevakadanwa nevakasarudzwa nevakatendeka.
15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
Zvino akati kwandiri: Mvura yawaona, pagere mhombwe, ndivo vanhu nezvaunga nemarudzi nendimi.
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.
Uye nyanga gumi dzawaona pamusoro pechikara, avo vachavenga mhombwe, uye vachaiparadza nekuifukura, uye vachadya nyama yayo, nekuipisa nemoto.
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.
Nokuti Mwari wakaisa mumoyo yavo kuti vaite fungwa yake, vaite fungwa imwe, nekupa chikara ushe hwavo, kusvikira mashoko aMwari apedzeredzwa.
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
Zvino mukadzi wawaona ndiro guta guru, rine umambo pamusoro pemadzimambo enyika.
