Revelation 17
1 Then came one of the seven angels who have the seven cups, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters;
Moko kati na ba-anjelu sambo oyo bazalaki na bakopo sambo ayaki mpe alobaki na ngai: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo etumbu oyo mwasi ya ndumba monene oyo avandaka na bibale minene akozwa.
2 with whom the kings of the earth have practised whoredom, and the inhabitants of the earth have been inebriated with the wine of her whoredom.
Bakonzi minene ya mokili basalaki ekobo elongo na ye, mpe bavandi ya mokili balangwaki vino ya kindumba na ye. »
3 And he led me in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a red beast of prey, which was full of names of blasphemy, and had seven heads and ten horns.
Bongo kati na Molimo, amemaki ngai kati na esobe moko. Mpe kuna, namonaki mwasi moko avanda na likolo ya nyama ya motane. Loposo ya nyama yango etondaki na bakombo oyo ezalaki kofinga Nzambe. Yango moko nyama ezalaki na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had a cup of gold in her hand, which was full of the pollutions and impurity of her whoredoms of the earth.
Mwasi yango alataki bilamba ya motane ya pete mpe ya motane makasi, babiju ya wolo, mabanga ya talo mpe mayaka. Na loboko na ye, asimbaki kopo moko basala na wolo mpe etonda na makambo ya nkele mpe ya bosoto ya kindumba na ye.
5 And upon her forehead was the name written: Mystery: Babylon the great; the Mother of Harlots, and of the contaminations of the Earth.
Na mbunzu na ye, bakomaki kombo moko oyo ebombaki makambo ya somo mpe oyo ndimbola na yango ezali: Babiloni monene, Mama ya Basi ya Ndumba mpe ya Makambo ya Nkele ya Mokili.
6 And I saw that the woman was intoxicated with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Namonaki ete mwasi yango alangwaki makila ya basantu mpe ya batatoli ya Yesu. Tango kaka namonaki ye, namitungisaki mingi.
7 And the Angel said to me, Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast of prey that beareth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
Bongo anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa? Nakoyebisa yo mabombami ya mwasi wana mpe ya nyama oyo ememi ye, nyama oyo ezali na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
8 The beast of prey which thou sawest, was, and is not; and he will ascend from the abyss and go into perdition: and the dwellers on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast of prey, which was, and is not, and approacheth. (Abyssos g12)
Nyama oyo omonaki; oyo liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te; ekobima wuta na libulu moko ya monene mpe ya molili makasi, mpe ekokende na libebi na yango. Bavandi ya mokili, ba-oyo bakombo na bango ekomama te kati na buku ya bomoi wuta na ebandeli ya mokili bakokamwa tango bakomona nyama; pamba te liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, kasi ekoya lisusu. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is intelligence, for him who hath wisdom. Those seven heads are the seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Makambo oyo ezali penza kosenga mayele oyo bwanya engengisaka mpo na kososola yango. Mito sambo ezali bangomba sambo epai wapi mwasi avandaka.
10 And there are seven kings: of whom five have fallen, one exists, and the other hath not yet come; and when he cometh he must continue for a short time.
Ezali lisusu bakonzi sambo: mitano kati na bango basila kokweya na bokonzi. Moko azali sik’oyo na bokonzi, mpe mosusu ayei nanu te; kasi tango akoya, akowumela kaka mpo na tango moke.
11 And the beast of prey, which was and is not, is the eighth, and is from the seven, and is for perdition.
Bongo nyama oyo, liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, yango nde mokonzi ya mwambe. Ezali mpe moko kati na bakonzi wana sambo, mpe ezali kokende na libebi na yango.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings. These persons have not yet received royalty; but they receive authority, as if kings, with the beasts of prey, for one hour.
Maseke zomi oyo omonaki ezali bakonzi zomi oyo bazwi nanu bokonzi te, kasi bakozwa yango mpo na ngonga moko mpe bakosalela yango lisanga na nyama.
13 They have one mind; and they will give their power and authority unto the beast of prey.
Bango nyonso zomi bazali na likanisi kaka moko: kosangisa nguya mpe bokonzi na bango mpo na kosalela nyama.
14 They will make war upon the Lamb; and the Lamb will vanquish them; because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and these with him are called and chosen and faithful.
Bakobundisa Mpate, kasi Mpate akolonga bango mpo ete azali Nkolo ya bankolo mpe Mokonzi ya bakonzi. Elongo na Ye, babengami, baponami mpe ba-oyo bazali sembo bakolonga mpe lokola. »
15 And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mayi oyo omonaki, oyo mwasi ya ndumba avandaki na likolo na yango, ezali bato ya mokili, bangulupa ebele ya bato, bikolo mpe nkota.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast of prey, will hate the harlot; and they will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Nyama mpe maseke zomi oyo omonaki ekoyina mwasi ya ndumba, ekobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe ekotika ye bolumbu; ekolia misuni na ye mpe ekotumba ye na nzela ya moto.
17 For God hath put into their hearts, to do his pleasure, and to execute one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast of prey, until these words of God shall be fulfilled.
Pamba te Nzambe atia kati na mitema na bango makanisi ya kokokisa mabongisi na Ye moko Nzambe, na boyokani malamu mpo na kolatisa nyama wana nguya na bango ya bokonzi, kino mikano nyonso ya Nzambe ekokisama.
18 And the woman whom thou sawest, is the great city, which hath dominion over the kings of the earth.
Mwasi oyo omonaki ezali engumba monene oyo ekonzaka bakonzi ya mokili. »
