< Revelation 18 >
1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
Paaga numwoni ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yumonga pakasuluka kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Kaweriti na uwezu mkulu na pasipanu pamulikwa na ng'ereng'eta yakuwi.
2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
Su kabotanga pakalonga, “Gubomoka, Babiloni lushi lukulu lubomoka! Vinu guwera numba ya washamshera na guwera liboma lya rohu zidoda zyoseri, na vijaka vya wampongu wadoda na wakukalaziya.
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
Toziya maisi goseri galoweritwi kwa divayi ikalipa ya kufira nentu uhumba wakuwi na wafalumi wa pasipanu watenditi uhumba nayomberi. Na watenda byashala wa pasipanu wawera walunda kwa makakala ga matamata yakuwi.”
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
Shakapanu mpikanira liziwu lyamonga kulawa kumpindi lilonga, “Wantu waneni, muwuki kwakuwi! Su namtenda pamuhera na yomberi muvidoda vyakuwi, Su namwiza kupata makomangu gakuwi!
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Toziya vidoda vyakuwi vivuwa nentu mpaka kumpindi, na Mlungu kagalyaluwa ndiri matendu gakuwi gadoda.
6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
Mumtenderi ntambu yakawatenderiti, mumlipi mala mbili galii gakawatendiriti. Mumuhanganyili mulutekeru lwakuwi divayi ikalipa mala mbili nentu kuliku ilii yakawapananiti.
7 However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
Mumpanani ntabiku na utama ntambu ya kulitumba kwakuwi, kulawirana na kulikala kwakuwi kwa makaliru ga kulinemeziya. Toziya kalikwisa mweni mumoyu, ‘Nulikala panu, neni ndo malikiya. Neni na mkenja ndiri, ama hapeni mpatwi na shiwembu!’
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
Toziya ya aga makomangu gakuwi hagampati kwa lishaka limu, mauti na hinginiku na njala. Na yomberi hakalunguziwi motu, toziya Mtuwa Mlungu yakamwazibu ndo kawera na makakala.”
9 The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
Wafalumi wa pasipanu yawatenditi uhumba na yomberi na kulikala nayomberi makaliru ga kulinemeziya hawadayi na kulila shipindi pawawona lyosi lya lushi lulii lwankulungula kwakuwi.
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
Wankugoloka kwa kutali toziya ya kutila ntabiku yakuwi na kulonga, “Shodi! Shodi kwa gwenga lushi lukulu, gwee Babiloni, lushi lwalumanika na lwaluwera na makakala! Kwa shipindi sha saa yimu azabu yaku yankwiza.”
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
Watenda byashala wa pasipanu hawalili na kwinginika, toziya kwahera muntu yakahemera kayi vintu vyawu,
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
kwahera kayi gwa kuhemera zahabu yawu na mpiya na vintu vya kunyawa kwa mabuwi vya beyi nkulu na lulu na shitani na nguwu ya langi ya zambalawu na zya halili na nguwu nsheri na vyombu vyoseri vya kila ntambu ya mitera ya gweka na vyombu vyoseri vyavinyawitwi kwa magoli ga ndembu na vintu vyoseri vya mitera ya beyi nkulu na vya shaba na shuma na ng'ereng'eta,
13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
mdalasini na viwungu na ubani na manimani na divayi na lipaki na ubumu uherepa wa nganu na nganu na ng'ombi na kondolu na falasi na mbutuka zya kukwega na wamanda wawu na ata makaliru ga wantu.
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
Vintu vyoseri vyagufira guweri navi vyagamira, “Vintu vyoseri vya beyi ngulu na vya kulitumbira hapeni guviwoni kayi!”
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
Watenda byashala yawapatiti ulunda kulawirana na lushi alu, hawagoloki kutali toziya ya lyoga lya ntabika yakuwi. Womberi hawalili na kwinginika,
16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
pawalonga, “Shodi! Shodi kwa lushi alu lukulu. Guvala nguwu zyazinyawitwi kwa shitani na zya zambalawu na nsheri na Kuliheripiziya kwa zahabu na vintu vyoseri vya kunyawa kwa mabuwi ga beyi nkulu na lulu!
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
Kwa saa yimu hera ulunda waku uwagamira!” Shakapanu walongoziya woseri wa mitumbwi na yawagenda mwanja gwawu na wanamashi na woseri yawatenda byashala kwa njira ya bahali na wagolokiti kwa kutali,
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
na pawawoniti lyosi lya motu gulii gwagumlunguziyiti mdala ulii, womberi waliliti kwa kubota, “Hakwenilawiri lushi gambira lushi alu lukulu!”
19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
Wagalagata lidika pamituwi yawu pawalira kwa kubota na kudaya pawalonga, “Shodi! Shodi kwa gwenga lushi lukulu! Ndo lushi lweni woseri yawawera na mitumbwi mubahali walunditi kulawirana na ulunda wakuwi, mulisaa limu hera ulunda wakuwi uwuka!”
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
Mnemeleri kumpindi toziya ya uharibisiwu wakuwi. Mnemeleri wantu wa Mlungu, wantumintumi na wambuyi wa Mlungu! Mlungu kamwazibu toziya ya vitwatira vyakawatenderiti mwenga!
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yumu, yakawera na makakala kalinyasuliti libuwi likulu lyalilifana na lwala, kalyasiti mubahali pakalonga, “Ntambu ira ayi Babiloni lushi lukulu halibomolwi na kwagamira nakamu.
22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
Mliru gwa vinubi gwa msambu, mliru gwa wagomba luperembi na wagomba talumbeta hapeni ipikaniriki kayi mngati mwaku. Kwahera fundi gwa ntambu yoseri ilii yakiza kuwoneka kayi mngati mwaku na mliru gwa lwala hapeni lupikiniki kayi mngati mwaku.
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
Ulangala gwa shikoloboyi hapeni gwoneki kayi mngati mwaku, nemeleru ya ndowa hapeni ipikiniki kayi mngati mwaku. Watenda byashala waku yawaweriti wakulu pasipanu na kwa uhawi waku maisi goseri guwapotoziyiti!”
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
Lushi lulii lwazibiwitwi toziya ya likosa lya kwita mwazi gwa wambuyi wa Mlungu na wantu woseri wa Mlungu yawalikitulitwi pasipanu.
