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.
Hwawabhaje hwabhoneha amwanya: ashe akwinshiwe nisanya, alinomwezi pansi yemanama gakwe; netaji eye ntondwe olingo limo nazibhele yali pamwanya pitwe lyakwe.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Ali nolwanda na alialila nabhawa—aje apape akhetwe aje apape.
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.
Ohwabhele hwabha hwabhoneshe amwanya: Enya! Hwali noguzoha ogusha mwamu igosi lyashele lyali namatwe saba nempeta ilongo limo, hali netaji saba humatwe gakwe.
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.
Oswiha lwakwe lwakhete etheluthi emo eye ntondwe amwanya nazitaje pansi pensi. Oguzoha gwahemeleye witagalila, eyashe yali apalamiye apape, aje wakati na papa amile omwana wakwe.
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.
Apepe omwana, oweshi lume, yashele abha tabhale ensizyonti hundesa eijela. Omwana wakwe wavuutwa amwanya hwa Ngolobhe hwitengo elye umwene,
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.
neshe anyililie huisengo, pashele Ongolobhe ali alengenye pieneo kwa sababu yamwene aje ahudumiwe ensiku 1, 260.
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].
Eshi hweli nibho amwanya. O Mikaeli na antumi bhakwe bhakhomene nola enzoha; wape onzola ogosi na antumi bhakwe bhakhomana 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.
Lelo onzoha sagaline nguvu. Ezyamene hagapahabha nenafasi amwanya kwaajili yakwe nantumi bhakwe.
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.
Joka mkubwa—yule nyoka hudanganya - dunia nzima akatupwa chini katika dunia, na malaika zake wakatupwa chini pamoja naye.
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.
Shesho nonvwa esauti engosi afume amwanya: “Eshi olokoole wenzele, enguvu—no umwene wa Ngolobhe wetu, na madalaka ga Kilisiti wakwe. Afwatane oshitaka owaholo bhetu aponyizewe pansi —yashele abhatakile witagalila wa Ngolobhe wetu pasanya no siku.
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.
Bhamenile hwidanda elya Mwanangole na hwizu elya ohushuda wabho, kwa maana sebhagene sana amaisha gabho, paka afwe.
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.
Hwesho, shanjililaji, namwe emwanya, mwenti mwamkhala mhati yakwe. Lelo palwabho pansi ne nsumbi afwataneje obhibhi ayishila hulimwe. Ali ni lyoyo ikhali, afwatanaje amenye aje alinensiku ndodo wene.
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.
Nashele onzoha ahamanya aje atajilwe pansi pensi, alondozezye washe yashele aliapepe omwana oweshilume.
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.
Lelo oshe apewilwe amapiho gabhele ege nsimla engosi, aje awezye alushe paka wieneo lyalya bhewelwe hani huji ya wene hula wisengo ieneo lyashele handawezize awutwe, hu wakati ne nyakati ne nusu wakati pamo pashele sawezizye afishe oyo onzoha.
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.
Onzoha ahitile amenze afume hwilamu lyakwe nashi isoho, aje abheshe amakhabha agahumwisye.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Lelo inkondi lyamwavwizye oshe. Ehigue ilomu lyakwe na amile isoho lyaswiye onzoha afume mwilomu lyakwe.
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).
Shesho onzoha wavitiwa oshe wape asogoye abhombe ibho nabhe mpapo bhakwe bhonti—bhala bhabha hwogopa endajizyo ezya Ngolobhe na akhatalile endajizyo ezya Yesu.
