Revelation 17
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
Nipele jumo jwa achikatumetume saba ŵa kwinani juŵaliji ni mbale saba ŵaiche ni kuusalila, “Njise akuno, chinannosye kulamulikwa kwa jwankongwe jwachigwagwa jula, musi wautaŵikwe pa meesi gamajinji.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
Mamwenye ŵa mchilambo ŵatesile nawo chikululu, nombe ŵakutama mchilambo akolelwe divai ja chigwagwa chakwe.”
3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
Nipele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanyigele ni katumetume ŵanongwesye mpaka mwilambo. Kweleko nammweni jwankongwe ali atemi pa chinyama chechejeu chegumbale meena ga kwatukana Akunnungu. Nombecho chaliji ni mitwe saba ni misengo likumi.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.
Ni jwankongwe jula ŵawete chiwalo cha sambalau ni chechejeu, ŵalisalesye ni indu yekolochekwe kwa sahabu ni maganga ga ndalama ni lulu. Nombejo ŵakamulile chikombe cha sahabu mu nkono wakwe, chachigumbele indu yaikuchima ni isambo ya usakwa wa chikululu chakwe.
5 And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Nombewo ŵalembekwe pa usyo wakwe liina lyanchitemela, “Babeli, musi waukulungwa, achikulugwe wa ŵachigwagwa ni wa yose yaikuchima pachilambo.”
6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Nammweni jwankongwe jo ali akolelwe miasi ja ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni miasi ja ŵandu ŵaŵaulegwe kwa ligongo lya kwasalila ŵandu umboni wa ngani ji Che Yesu. Panammweni nasimosile nnope.
7 The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Nambo katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵamusisye une, “Ligongochi nkusimonga? Chinansalile indu yaisisiche ya jwankongwe jwatemi pachanya pa chinyama chachikwete mitwe saba ni misengo kumi.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)
Chinyama chachikali chimwachiweni chili chachijumi kundanda, sambano chiwile. Nambo pachiŵandi chakopoche mu Lisimbo lyangali mbesi nambo chajonanjikwe. Ŵandu ŵakutama pa chilambo chasimonje, elo, ŵandu wose ŵanganalembekwa meena gao mu chitabu cha umi chitandile kupagwa chilambo, chasimonje kuchiwona chinyama chichaliji chachijumi kundanda, ni kuwa nambo sambano chikukopochela sooni. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
“Pele lukusachilwa lunda ni umanyilisi. Jele mitwe saba jo, gali matumbi saba gaakutama jwankongwe pachanya pakwe. Jele mitwe saba jo jili mamwenye saba.
10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
Pasikati ja ŵele mamwenye saba wo, mamwenye nsano amasile kuwa, jumo akulongosya ni jwine nganaŵe kwika, nambo pachaiche po chalongosye kwa katema kakajipi.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
Ni chinyama chachikali chichaliji chachijumi kalakala, nambo sambano nganichikola umi sooni, ali mwenye jwa nane. Ni jwelejo ali jumo jwa aŵala saba, nombejo chaulajikwe.
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
“Ni misengo kumi jimwajiweni jili, ali mamwenye kumi ŵanganatande kutawala. Nambo chapegwe ulamusi wa kulongosya kwa katema kamo pe pamo ni chinyama chila.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Wose kumi chajilane nombewo chachimpa chinyama machili gao ni ulamusi wao wose wa kwatawala ŵandu.
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
Chamenyane ni Mwanangondolo, nambo Mwanangondolo pamo ni aŵala ŵaŵaaŵilasile ni kwasagula ŵaali ŵakukulupilichika, chiŵapunde ligongo jwele ali Ambuje jwa achambuje ni Mwenye jwa mamwenye.”
15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani ŵasalile une, “Meesi gamwagaweni pepala paŵatemi jwachigwagwa jula, jili mipingo ja kila ngosyo ni kila chilambo ni kila chiŵecheto ni kila mitundu.
16 The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
Misengo kumi jimwajiweni ni chinyama chila, chiŵachime jwakulaŵalaŵa. Chiŵasumule yose yalinayo ni kwaleka makonope, chaalye nyama ja chiilu chakwe ni kwatinisya kwa mooto.
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatasile mmitima jao achila chakuchisaka kuti chitendekwe kuti ajilane achinsyene pe kuchipa chinyama chila ulamusi wakulongosya, mpaka pele maloŵe ga Akunnungu pachigamalile.
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
“Ni jwankongwe jumwambweni jula uli musi waukulungwa waukwalamula mamwenye ŵa pachilambo.”
