Revelation 12
1 Then something very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a woman, whose [appearance and] clothing were [MET] as bright as the sun. The moon was under her feet. On her head was a crown [that was made] of twelve stars.
Echibhalikisho chinene nichibhonekana Mulwile: Omugasi unu aliga aswikiwe lisubha, na aliga ali no kwesi emwalo ya magulu gaye; no olutenga lwa Jinjota ekumi ne bhili yaliga ili ingulu yo mutwe gwaye.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Aliga ana inda na aliga nalila ingulu yo kwasibhwa kwo kwibhula no bhusungu bhwo okwibhula.
3 Something else very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon. It had seven heads and ten horns. On each of its heads was a royal crown.
Nechibhalikisho echindi nichibhonekana Mulwile: Lola! Lyaliga lilio liyoka limutuku enene linu lyaliga Lina mitwe musanju na mayembe ekumi, na jaliga jilio ntenga musanju ku mitwe jaye.
4 The dragon’s tail dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon set himself in front of the woman who was about to give birth, in order that he might eat her child as soon as it was born.
Omukila gwalyo nigukulula libhala elya kasatu elya jinjota ja Mulwile no kujesa ansi mu chalo. Mbe lijoka elyo nilimelegulu imbele yo mugasi oyo unu aliga ali Yeo okwibhula, koleleki ati omwanya gunu kebhula, amumile omwana waye.
5 The woman gave birth to a son, who [is destined] to rule all the nations with [complete authority as if he was using] [MET] an iron rod [MET]. [God] snatched away her child and took him to [rule from] his throne.
Amwibhuye omwana, omwana we chilubhe, unu katungu amaanga gona kwa insimbo eye chuma. Omwana waye agegelwe nasilwa ingulu ku Nyamuanga na ku chitebhe echo bhutungi,
6 The woman fled to a desert. She has a place there that God has prepared for her, in order that [the angels] may take care of her for 1,260 days.
no mugasi nelukila mwibhala, libhala linu Nyamuanga aliga amwilabhie ingulu hate, koleleki atule okufulubhendelwa kwa nsiku 1,260 (chiumbi chimwi na katana gabhili na makumi mukaga.)
7 [In the vision I saw that] there was a battle in heaven. Michael and the angels that he [commanded] fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back [against Michael and his angels].
Mbe woli nilibhao lilemo Mulwile. Mikaeli na bhamalaika bhaye nibhalwana na lijoka lilya; elyenene lijoka linene na bhamalaika bhaye nibhalwana nabho.
8 But the dragon did not win the battle, so [God] did not allow the dragon and his angels to stay in heaven any longer.
Mbe nawe lijoka lilya lyaliga Litana managa agokwiya okuiga. Kulwejo gutabhonekene mwanya lindi Mulwile ingulu yaye na bhamalaika bhaye.
9 The huge dragon was thrown {[Michael and his angels] threw the huge dragon} out [of heaven]. The dragon is the ancient serpent, [the one] who is called the Devil and Satan. He is the one who deceives [people all over] the earth. He was thrown down to the earth, along with all his angels.
Lijoka linene -lilya ijoka eya kala inu eitogwa Ibhilisi amwi Shetani unu kajigajiga-echalo chona Neswa ansi muchalo, na bhamalaika bhaye one nibheswa ansi bhona nage.
10 Then I heard [someone] in heaven shout loudly, saying, Now our God has saved his people by his power, and he rules everyone! Now the Messiah, the one who is the supreme ruler whom God appointed, has authority to rule all people, because our God has thrown out of heaven the one who accuses our fellow believers! The dragon is the one who accuses them day and night before our God, saying that they have sinned and that God ought to punish them.
Okumala ninungwa bhulaka bhunene okusoka Mulwile: “Woli omwelulo gwaja, amanaga-no obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga weswe, no obhutungi bhwa Kristo waye. Kulwo kubha omusitaki wa bhaili bhasu amalile okweswa ansi-unu abhasitakile imbele ya Nyamuanga weswe mumwisi na mugeta.
11 Our fellow believers overcame the dragon because they never stopped trusting (OR, never stopped telling people about) Jesus, and because they trusted in what Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, accomplished when his blood flowed when he died. Even though those believers wanted to live, they were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
Mbe bhamusngile kwa insagama yo mwana wa Inama na kwo musango gwo bhubhambasi bhwebhwe, kulwo kubha bhaliga bhatakubhwenda obhulame bhwebhwe muno, nolwo kufwa.
12 So, all you angels living [MTY] in heaven, rejoice! But terrible things will happen to you ungodly people who [MTY] live on the earth and on the ocean, because the devil has come down to you! He is very angry because he knows that he has only a short time during which he can harm people.
Kulwejo, mukondelelwe, emwe olwile, na bhona bhanu mwikayemo. Mbe nawe jabhabhona abha munsi na inyanja ku nsonga omubhibhi ekile kwemwe. Ejuye esungu elulu, ku nsonga amenyele ati ali na mwanya mufui-la.
13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown {that [the angels] had thrown him} down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to a son.
Mbe omwana ogwo lijoka lyejile lyamenya ati lyeselwe Ansi ku chalo, nilimulubha omugasi oyo unu aliga ebhuye omwana we chilume.
14 But the woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large eagle, in order that she might fly to a desolate place. That is a place [that God] has prepared for her. There she was taken care of {[God’s angels] took care of her} for three and a half years. The serpent, [that is, the dragon], was not able to reach her there.
Mbe nawe omugasi oyo nayanwa amabhabha gabhili aga inkona inene, koleleki ati atule okuguluka okukinga kwi bhalagi linu lilabhilwe ingulu yaye eliya mwibhala, libhala linu akatulile okubhikwa, kwo mwanya, emyanya na inusu yo mwanya anu libhala linu itakutula kukingayo eyo injoka.
15 The serpent spewed water like a river from his mouth in the direction of the woman, in order that the water might sweep her away.
Injoka Nifubhula amanji okusoka mu Kanwa Kaye kuti mugela, koleleki akole induluma yo kumusimagisha.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Mbe nawe insi nimusakila Omugasi oyo. Niyasama omunwa gwaye no kumila omugela gunu lijoka lyafubhuye okusoka mu Kanwa Kaye.
17 Then the dragon was very angry with the woman, so he went away to fight against [the people who are like] the rest of her descendants. They are the people who obey God’s commandments and who tell other people about Jesus (OR, hold fast to what Jesus taught them).
Okumala lijoka nilimubhiilililwa omugasi nawe ndisokao ndigenda ndijo okukola lilemo no olwibhulo lwaye lwona—bhaliya bhanu abholobhela ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga no kugwatilila obhubhambasi okulubhana na Yesu.
