< Revelation 13 >

1 And he took up a position upon the sands of the sea-shore. Then I saw a Wild Beast coming up out of the sea, and he had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten kingly crowns, and inscribed on his heads were names full of blasphemy.
Kisha lijhoka likajhema panani pa n'sanga mu ufukwe bhwa bahari. Kisha nikabhona mnyama ihomela mu bahari. Ajhele ni mang'eru kumi ni mitu saba. Mu mang'eru ghake kwajhele ni taji kumi, ni pa mutu pake pajhele ni malobhi gha kufuru kwa K'yara.
2 The Wild Beast which I saw resembled a leopard, and had feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and it was to the Dragon that he owed his power and his throne and his wide dominion.
Mnyama ojho jha nibwene ajhe kama s'obhi. Magolo ghake ghajhele kama dubu, ni ndomo bhwa muene bhwajhele kama simba. Lijhoka lela likampela nghofu, na pakiti kya enzi, ni mamlaka ghaghajhele ni nghofu nesu jha kutawala.
3 I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded; but his mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed him.
Mutu ghwa mnyama mmojawapo kyabhoniki kujha ni lijeraha libhaha ambalyo ngalisababisi mauti gha muene. Lakini lijeraha lya muene lyaponili, ni dunia jhioha jhasyangesibhu ni kun'kesya mnyama.
4 And they offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, "Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle with him?"
Kabhele bhakaliabudu lijhoka, maana ampelili mamlaka jhola mnyama. Bhakamwabudu mnyama kabhele, na bhajhendelili kujobha, “Niani kama mnyama? na “Niani ibetakukomana naku?”
5 And there was given him a mouth full of boastful and blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him for forty-two months.
Mnyama akapelibhwa ndomo ili alongelayi malobhi gha kwisifila ni malighu. Aruhusibhu kujha ni mamlaka kwa miesi arobaini ni mibhele.
6 And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemies against God, to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place--that is to say, of those who dwell in Heaven.
Hivyo mnyama adajhuili ndomo ghwa muene kulongela malighu dhidi jha K'yara, alilighili lihina lya muene, lieneo lya atameghe ni bhala bhabhitama kumbinguni.
7 And permission was given him to make war upon God's people and conquer them; and power was given him over every tribe, people, language and nation.
Mnyama aruhusibhu kubhomba vita ni bhaamini ni kubhashinda. Kabhele, apelibhu mamlaka juu jha khila likabila, bhanu, lugha ni taifa.
8 And all the inhabitants of the earth will be found to be worshipping him: every one whose name is not recorded in the Book of Life--the Book of the Lamb who has been offered in sacrifice ever since the creation of the world.
Bhoha bhatameghe paduniani bhibetakumwabudu muene, khila mmonga ambajhe lihina lya muene lijhandiki bhulepi, kuhoma uumbaji bhwa dunia, mu kitabu kya uzima, ambakyo ndo mwanakondoo, ambajhe achinjibhu.
9 Let all who have ears give heed.
Ikajhiajhi muene ajhe ni mbol'okoto, na apelekesiajhi.
10 If any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.
Ikajhele mmojawapo atolibhu mateka, ni kumateka ilota. Ikajhiajhi mmojawapo ibeta kuhoma kwa upanga, kwa upanga ibetakukomibhwa. Obho ndo mwilota bhwa utulivu ni uvumilivu ni imani kwa abhu bhabhajhele bhatakatifu.
11 Then I saw another Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
Kabhele nabhwene mnyama jhongi ihida kuhoma mu nchi. Ajhele mwenye mang'eru mabhele kama likondoo na alongelili kama lijhoka.
12 And the authority of the first Wild Beast--the whole of that authority--he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild Beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
Alasili mamlaka ghoha kwa mnyama jhola ghwa kuanza mu uwepo bhwa muene ni kukheta pa dunia ni bhala bhabhiishi kumwabudu jhola mnyama ghwa kuanza, jhola ambajhe jeraha lya muene lyaponili.
13 He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
Akabhomba miujiza jha jhijhele ni nghofu, hata akatengenesya muoto uselelayi pa dunia Kuhoma kumbinguni palongolo pa bhanu,
14 And his power of leading astray the inhabitants of the earth is due to the marvels which he has been permitted to work in the presence of the Wild Beast. And he told the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the Wild Beast who had received the sword-stroke and yet had recovered.
ni kwa ishara aruhusibhu kubhomba akabhakofya abhu bhabhitama mu dunia, akabhajobhela kutengenesya sanamu kwa heshima jha mnyama ambajhe ajeruhibhu kwa upanga, lakini bado akajhaiishi.
15 And power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be put to death.
Aruhusibhu kupisya pumzi mu sanamu jhela jha mnyama ili sanamu jhibhwesiajhi kulongela ni kusababisya bhala bhoha bhabhabelili kumwabudu mnyama na bhakhomibhwayi.
16 And he causes all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
Kabhele alasimisi khila mmonga jha abelikujha ni thamani ni mwenye nghofu, tajiri ni maskini, huru ni mtumwa, kupokela alama mu kibhokho Kya kuume au mu paji lya pamihu.
17 in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark--either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.
Jhikajha jhibhwesekana lepi kwa kila munu kugo'lesya au kutola isi mwenye alama jha mnyama, na e'j'he ndo namba jha kuwakilisya lihina lya muene.
18 Here is scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666.
Ejhe jhilonda busara. Ikajhiajhi jhejhioha ajhe ni ufahamu, ndekayi abhwesiajhi kubhomba. Maana ndo namba jha kibinadamu. Namba jha muene ndo 666.
