Revelation 17
1 And one of the seven messengers who had the seven bowls came, and spake with me, saying—Hither! I will point out to thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters,
Otu nʼime ndị mmụọ ozi asaa ndị ahụ ji efere bịara sị m, “Bịa, aga m egosi gị ahụhụ ga-abịakwasị onye ahụ ụwa niile maara dịka akwụna, onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ọtụtụ mmiri nke ụwa.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed lewdness, —and they who were dwelling upon the earth were made drunk with the wine of her lewdness.
Ndị eze ụwa esorola ya kwaa iko nʼotu ihe ndina, emeekwara ka ndị niile bi nʼụwa bụrụ ndị mmanya ịkwa iko ya na-egbu.”
3 And he carried me away into a desert, in spirit. And I saw a woman, sitting upon a scarlet wild-beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
O duuru m nʼime mmụọ baa nʼọzara. Nʼebe ahụ ka m nọ hụ otu nwanyị nọkwasịrị nʼelu otu anụ ọhịa na-acha ọbara ọbara. Anụ ọhịa ahụ nwere isi asaa na mpi iri. Aha ndị e dere anụ ọhịa ahụ nʼahụ bụ naanị okwu ikwulu Chineke.
4 And, the woman, was arrayed with purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, —having a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness;
Nwanyị ahụ yi akwa na-acha odo odo na nke na-achakwa ọbara ọbara, gbarakwa ihe ịchọ mma e ji ọlaedo, nkume dị oke ọnụahịa na pieal kpụọ. O jikwa iko ọlaedo nʼaka ya nke jupụtara nʼihe arụ na ihe ure niile o ji na-akwa iko ya.
5 and, upon her forehead, a name written, a secret: Babylon the great, the Mother of the Harlots and of the Abominations of the earth.
Aha e dekwasịrị ya nʼegedege ihu bụ ihe omimi: Obodo ukwu ahụ bụ Babilọn, nne ndị na-akwa iko na nke ihe arụ niile nke ụwa.
6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I was astonished, when I beheld her, with great astonishment.
Ejikwa m anya m hụ na nwanyị ahụ aṅụjuola ọbara ndị nsọ afọ, ya na ọbara ndị ama Jisọs. Mgbe m hụrụ ya, ọ gbagwojuru m anya.
7 And the messenger said unto me—Wherefore wast thou astonished? I, will tell thee the secret of the woman, and of the wild-beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
Ma mmụọ ozi ahụ sịrị m, “Gịnị mere ihe ị hụrụ ji ju gị anya? Aga m akọwara gị ihe omimi banyere nwanyị a na anụ ọhịa ahụ nke na-ebugharị ya, bụ nke nwere isi asaa na mpi iri.
8 The wild-beast which thou sawest, was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and into, destruction, goeth away. And they who are dwelling upon the earth whose name is not written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, when they see the wild-beast, because it was, and is not, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)
Anụ ọhịa ahụ ị hụrụ, nwere mgbe ọ dịịrị, ma ugbu a, ọ dịkwaghị. Ma ọ ga-esi nʼolulu Abis ahụ pụta banye na mbibi. Ma nlọghachi ya ga-eju ndị ahụ a na-edeghị aha ha nʼime akwụkwọ ndụ ahụ site nʼoge e kere ụwa anya. Nʼihi na e nwere mgbe ọ dịịrị, ma ugbu a, ọ dịkwaghị, ma ọ ga-emesi bịa. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here, is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads, are, seven mountains, whereupon the woman sitteth;
“Nke a chọrọ uche nke nwere amamihe. Isi asaa ahụ nọchiri anya ugwu asaa ahụ nke nwanyị ahụ na-anọdụ nʼelu ha. Ha na-anọchikwa anya ndị eze asaa.
10 and they are, seven kings: the five, have fallen, the one, is, the other, hath not yet come; and, whensoever he shall come, a little while, must he remain,
Ise nʼime ha adaala, otu ka nọ, nke ọzọ abịabeghị. Mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ga-anọ nwantakịrị oge.
11 and the wild-beast which was and is not. And he, is an eighth, and is, of the seven, —and, into destruction, goeth away.
Anụ ọhịa ahụ nke dịrịị ma ọ dịkwaghị, bụ onye nke asatọ, ọ bụ onye otu ndị eze asaa ahụ ma a lakwara ya nʼiyi.
12 And, the ten horns which thou sawest, are, ten kings, —who, indeed, have not received, sovereignty, as yet, but, authority, as kings, for one hour, shall receive, with the wild-beast.
“Mpi iri ahụ ị hụrụ nọchiri anya ndị eze iri na-anatabeghị alaeze. Ha na anụ ọhịa ahụ ga-anata ike ọchịchị dịka eze sọọsọ otu awa.
13 These, have, one mind, and, their power and authority, unto the wild-beast, they give.
Ha ji otu obi na-enye anụ ọhịa ahụ ike ha na ịchị isi ha.
14 These, with the Lamb, will make war; and, the Lamb, will overcome them, because he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings, —and, they who are with him, are called and chosen and faithful.
Ha ga-ebu agha megide Nwa Atụrụ ahụ, ma Nwa Atụrụ ahụ ga-emeri ha nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe kachasị ndị nwenụ niile nakwa Eze kachasị ndị eze niile. Ndị so ya bụkwa ndị a kpọrọ, na ndị a họpụtara, ndị ya kwesikwara ntụkwasị obi.”
15 And he saith unto me—The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are, peoples and multitudes, and nations and tongues.
Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị m, “Mmiri ndị ahụ ị hụrụ, ebe nwanyị akwụna ahụ nọ, bụ ndị mmadụ dị iche iche, igwe mmadụ, na mba dị iche iche na nʼasụsụ dị iche iche.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the wild-beast, these, shall hate the harlot, and, desolate, shall make her, and naked, and, her flesh, shall they eat, and, herself, shall they burn up with fire.
Anụ ọhịa ahụ na mpi iri ahụ ị hụrụ ga-akpọ nwanyị akwụna ahụ asị. Ha ga-agba ya ọtọ, laakwa ya nʼiyi, ha ga-eri anụ ya, werekwa ọkụ rechapụ ya.
17 For, God, hath put into their hearts, to do his mind, and to do one mind, —and to give their sovereignty unto the wild-beast, until the words of God shall be completed.
Chineke etinyela ya nʼobi ha imejupụta nzube ya site nʼinwe otu obi nakwa inyefe anụ ọhịa ahụ ikike ọchịchị alaeze ha, tutu ruo mgbe a ga-emezu okwu Chineke.
18 And, the woman whom thou sawest, is the great city, which hath sovereignty over the kings of the earth.
Ma nwanyị a ị hụrụ bụ obodo ukwu ahụ na-achị ndị eze niile nke ụwa.”
