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,
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 lewdness, —and they who were dwelling upon the earth were made drunk with the wine of her lewdness.
madzimambo enyika aakaita upombwe nayo, nevagari vepanyika vakadhakiswa newaini yeupombwe hwayo.
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.
Zvino wakandisengera kurenje mumweya, uye ndakaona mukadzi akatasva chikara chitsvuku, chizere nemazita ekunyomba, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi.
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;
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, upon her forehead, a name written, a secret: Babylon the great, the Mother of the Harlots and of the Abominations of the earth.
Nepahuma yake pakange pakanyorwa zita rekuti: CHAKAVANZIKA, BHABHIRONI GURU, MAI VEMHOMBWE NEZVINOSEMESA ZVENYIKA.
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.
Zvino ndakaona mukadzi akararadza neropa revatsvene, uye neropa rezvapupu zvaJesu. Zvino ndakati ndamuona ndikashamisika nekushamisika kukuru.
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.
Zvino mutumwa akati kwandiri: Washamisika nei? Ini ndichakuudza chakavanzika chemukadzi, nechechikara chinomutakura, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi.
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)
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 hath wisdom. The seven heads, are, seven mountains, whereupon the woman sitteth;
Zvino heino fungwa ine njere. Misoro minomwe ndiwo makomo manomwe mukadzi paagere pamusoro pawo,
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,
uye ndiwo madzimambo manomwe; vashanu vawa, uye umwe aripo, umwe haasati asvika; uye kana achisvika, anofanira kugara chinguvana.
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.
Uye chikara chaivapo, uye chisipo, ndiyewo werusere, uye anobva pavanomwe, uye anoenda mukuparadzwa.
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.
Nenyanga gumi dzawaona, ndiwo madzimambo gumi, asati agamuchira ushe, asi achagamuchira simba semadzimambo pamwe nechikara awa rimwe.
13 These, have, one mind, and, their power and authority, unto the wild-beast, they give.
Ava vane fungwa imwe, uye vanopa simba neutongi hwavo kuchikara.
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.
Ava vacharwa neGwayana, uye Gwayana richavakunda, nokuti ndiIshe wemadzishe naMambo wemadzimambo; nevanaro ndevakadanwa nevakasarudzwa nevakatendeka.
15 And he saith unto me—The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are, peoples and multitudes, and nations and tongues.
Zvino akati kwandiri: Mvura yawaona, pagere mhombwe, ndivo vanhu nezvaunga nemarudzi nendimi.
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.
Uye nyanga gumi dzawaona pamusoro pechikara, avo vachavenga mhombwe, uye vachaiparadza nekuifukura, uye vachadya nyama yayo, nekuipisa nemoto.
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.
Nokuti Mwari wakaisa mumoyo yavo kuti vaite fungwa yake, vaite fungwa imwe, nekupa chikara ushe hwavo, kusvikira mashoko aMwari apedzeredzwa.
18 And, the woman whom thou sawest, is the great city, which hath sovereignty over the kings of the earth.
Zvino mukadzi wawaona ndiro guta guru, rine umambo pamusoro pemadzimambo enyika.
