Revelation 18
1 (and *k*) After these things I saw another angel descending out of heaven, having authority great, and the earth was illuminated from the glory of him.
Baada ya haya nikaona malaika mwingine akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa na mamlaka makuu na dunia ikamulikiwa na mngʼao wake.
2 And he cried out in (a mighty *N(k)O*) voice (loud *K*) saying: Fallen Fallen is Babylon the great And she has become a habitation (of demons *N(k)O*) and a prison of every spirit unclean and a prison of every bird unclean (and a prison of every creature unclean *NO*) and hated,
Naye akalia kwa nguvu kwa sauti kubwa, akisema: “Umeanguka! Umeanguka Babeli Mkuu! Umekuwa makao ya mashetani na makazi ya kila pepo mchafu, makazi ya kila ndege na kila mnyama achukizaye.
3 For of the wine of the wrath of the sexual immorality of her (they have drunk *N(k)O*) all the nations, and the kings of the earth with her committed sexual immorality, and the merchants of the earth through the power of the sensuality of her were enriched.
Kwa maana mataifa yote yamekunywa mvinyo wa ghadhabu ya uasherati wake. Nao wafalme wa dunia wamefanya uzinzi nao, nao wafanyabiashara wa dunia wametajirika kutokana na wingi wa utajiri wake.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying: (do come *NK(o)*) you who [are] people of mine from her, so that not you may have fellowship in the sins of her, and of the plagues of her so that not you may receive;
Kisha nikasikia sauti nyingine kutoka mbinguni ikisema: “Tokeni katikati yake, enyi watu wangu, ili msije mkashiriki dhambi zake, ili msije mkapatwa na pigo lake lolote;
5 For (they were heaped *N(K)O*) in her sins as high as heaven, and has remembered God the iniquities of her.
kwa kuwa dhambi zake zimelundikana hadi mbinguni, naye Mungu ameukumbuka uhalifu wake.
6 do give back to her as also she has rendered (to you *k*) and do pay back double (to her *k*) (the *no*) twofold according to the works of her. In the cup which she has mixed, do mix to her double.
Mtendee kama yeye alivyotenda; umlipe mara mbili kwa ajili ya yale aliyotenda. Katika kikombe chake mchanganyie mara mbili ya kile alichochanganya.
7 So much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, so much do give to her torment and misery, because in the heart of herself she says that I sit [as] a queen and a widow never I am and mourning certainly not shall I see.
Mpatie mateso na huzuni nyingi sawa na utukufu na anasa alizojipatia. Kwa kuwa moyoni mwake hujivuna, akisema, ‘Mimi ninatawala kama malkia; mimi si mjane, wala sitaona huzuni kamwe.’
8 Because of this in one day will come the plagues of her, death and misery and famine, and with fire she will be burned up, because mighty [is the] Lord God the [One] (having judged *N(k)O*) her.
Kwa hiyo mapigo yatampata kwa siku moja: mauti, maombolezo na njaa. Naye atateketezwa kwa moto, kwa maana Bwana Mungu amhukumuye ana nguvu.
9 And (they will weep *N(k)O*) ([for] her *k*) and they will wail for her the kings of the earth the [ones who] with her having committed sexual immorality and having lived luxuriously, when they may see the smoke of the burning of her
“Wafalme wa dunia waliozini naye na kushiriki anasa zake watakapoona moshi wa kuungua kwake, watamlilia na kumwombolezea.
10 from afar standing because of the fear of the torment of her saying: Woe woe you who [are] the city great Babylon the city strong! For (in *k*) one hour has come the judgment of you.
Kwa hofu kubwa ya mateso yake, watasimama mbali na kulia na wakisema: “‘Ole! Ole, ee mji mkubwa, ee Babeli mji wenye nguvu! Hukumu yako imekuja katika saa moja!’
11 And the merchants of the earth (weep *NK(o)*) and (they mourn *NK(o)*) for (her, *N(k)O*) because the cargo of them no [one] buys no longer no longer
“Wafanyabiashara wa dunia watalia na kumwomboleza kwa sababu hakuna anunuaye bidhaa zao tena:
12 cargo of gold and of silver and of stone precious and (of pearls *N(k)O*) and (of fine linen [things] *N(k)O*) and (of purple cloth *NK(o)*) and of silk and of scarlet and all wood citron and every article of ivory and every article of wood most precious and of bronze and of iron and of marble
Bidhaa za dhahabu, za fedha, za vito vya thamani na vya lulu, kitani safi, nguo za rangi ya zambarau, hariri, nguo nyekundu, aina zote za miti ya udi, na vifaa vyote vya pembe za ndovu, vifaa vyote vya miti yenye thamani kuliko yote, shaba, chuma na marmar,
13 and cinnamon (and spice *NO*) and incense and myrrh and frankincense and wine and oil and finest flour and wheat and cattle and sheep and of horses and of chariots and of slaves and souls of men.
bidhaa za mdalasini, vikolezi, za uvumba, manemane, na uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, za divai, na mafuta ya zeituni, za unga mzuri na ngano; ngʼombe na kondoo; farasi na magari; na miili na roho za wanadamu.
14 And the ripe fruit of you of the desire of the soul are departed from you, and all the sumptuous things and the splendid things (were destroyed *N(k)O*) from you, and no longer no longer certainly not them (they will find. *N(K)(o)*)
“Watasema, ‘Yale matunda ambayo roho yako iliyatamani yamekoma. Utajiri wako wote na fahari yako vimetoweka, wala haviwezi kupatikana tena kamwe!’
15 The merchants of these things which having been enriched from her from afar will stand because of the fear of the torment of her weeping and mourning,
Wale wafanyabiashara waliotajirika kwa bidhaa hizo kutoka kwake watasimama mbali naye kwa hofu kubwa ya mateso yanayompata. Watalia na kuomboleza wakipiga kelele wakisema:
16 (and *k*) saying: Woe woe you who [are] the city great, which having been clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet and adorned with (gold [things] *N(k)O*) and with stone precious and (with pearl! *N(K)O*)
“‘Ole! Ole, ee mji mkubwa, uliyekuwa umevikwa mavazi ya kitani safi, ya rangi ya zambarau na nyekundu, ukimetameta kwa dhahabu, vito vya thamani na lulu!
17 Since in one hour has been brought to desolation so great wealth. And every shipmaster and every [one] who on (a place *NO*) (of the *k*) (sailing *N(k)O*) (the multitudes *K*) and sailors and as many as the sea trade by at a distance stood
Katika muda wa saa moja utajiri wote mkubwa kama huu umeangamia!’ “Kila nahodha, na wote wasafirio kwa meli, na wote wapatao kipato chao kutokana na bahari, watasimama mbali.
18 and (were crying out *NK(o)*) (seeing *N(k)O*) the smoke of the burning of her saying; What [is] like as the city great?
Watakapouona moshi wa kuungua kwake watalia wakisema, ‘Je, kulipata kuwako mji mkubwa kama huu?’
19 And they cast dust upon the heads of them and (they were crying out *NK(o)*) weeping and mourning (and *o*) saying: Woe woe the city great, in which were enriched all those having ships in the sea through the wealth of her! Since in one hour she has been desolated.
Nao watajirushia mavumbi vichwani mwao, huku wakilia na kuomboleza, wakisema: “‘Ole! Ole, ee mji mkubwa, mji ambao wote wenye meli baharini walitajirika kupitia kwa mali zake! Katika saa moja tu ameangamizwa!
20 do rejoice over (her, *N(k)O*) O heaven and you saints (and *no*) you apostles and you prophets, because did judge God the judgment for you against her.
Furahia kwa ajili yake, ee mbingu! Furahini watakatifu, mitume na manabii! Mungu amemhukumu kwa vile alivyowatendea ninyi.’”
21 And took up one angel a mighty stone like (a millstone *N(k)O*) great and cast [it] into the sea saying: Thus with violence will be cast down Babylon the great city and certainly not may be found any longer.
Kisha malaika mmoja mwenye nguvu akainua jiwe kubwa kama la kusagia akalitupa baharini akisema: “Hivyo ndivyo mji mkubwa Babeli utakavyotupwa chini kwa nguvu wala hautaonekana tena.
22 And sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters certainly not may be heard in you any longer, And any craftsmen of any craft certainly not may be found in you any longer, and [the] sound of a millstone certainly not may be heard in you any longer,
Nyimbo za wapiga vinubi na waimbaji, wapiga filimbi na wapiga tarumbeta kamwe hazitasikika tena ndani yako. Ndani yako kamwe hataonekana tena fundi mwenye ujuzi wa aina yoyote. Wala sauti ya jiwe la kusagia kamwe haitasikika tena.
23 And [the] light of lamp certainly not may shine in you any longer, and [the] voice of a bridegroom and a bride certainly not may be heard in you any longer, for the merchants of you were the great ones of the earth, because by the sorcery of you were deceived all the nations.
Mwanga wa taa hautaangaza ndani yako tena. Sauti ya bwana arusi na bibi arusi kamwe haitasikika ndani yako tena. Wafanyabiashara wako walikuwa watu maarufu wa dunia. Mataifa yote yalipotoshwa kwa uchawi wako.
24 And in her ([the] blood *N(k)O*) of prophets and of saints was found and of all those slain on the earth.
Ndani yake ilionekana damu ya manabii na ya watakatifu na wote waliouawa duniani.”
