< Revelation 12 >
1 And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars,
Nipele, chimanyisyo chakusimosya chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni jwankongwe jwambwechekwe lyuŵa ni lwesi pa sajo syakwe, ni pantwe pakwe paliji ni chindu mpela singwa jajikolochekwe ni ndondwa kumi na mbili.
2 and being with child she doth cry out, travailing and pained to bring forth.
Nombe jwankongwe jo ŵaliji pa chiilu. Nipele, ŵaliji nkulila ligongo lya kupotekwa ni chilungusi cha kuligopola.
3 And there was seen another sign in the heaven, and, lo, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems,
Chimanyisyo chine chawoneche kwinani. Kwaliji ni lijoka lyekulungwa lyechejeu, lyana mitwe saba ni misengo likumi. Pantwe wauli wose paliji ni chindu mpela singwa.
4 and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, her child he may devour;
Nchila wa lijoka lila, ukujiuta liunjili limo mwa maunjili gatatu ga ndondwa sya kwiunde ni kusiponya pa chilambo. Lijoka lyekulungwa lila lyajimi paujo pa jwankongwe jula juŵaliji chile kuŵeleka kuti nkuŵeleka pe, akamile kanache kakwe.
5 and she brought forth a male child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and caught away was her child unto God and His throne,
Nipele jwankongwe jo ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume, juŵaŵichikwe chile kuti ŵalamule ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose kwa nkongojo wa chisyano. Mwanache jo ŵanyakulikwe ni kunjausya kwa Akunnungu, pa chitengu chao cha umwenye.
6 and the woman did flee to the wilderness, where she hath a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her — days a thousand, two hundred, sixty.
Jwankongwe jula ŵautuchile kwiuto kwangali ŵandu. Liuto liŵampanganyichisye Akunnungu kuti agosekwe kweleko, kwa moŵa elufu moja mia mbili ni sitini.
7 And there came war in the heaven; Michael and his messengers did war against the dragon, and the dragon did war, and his messengers,
Nipele, kwaliji ni ngondo kwinani. Che Mikaeli, katumetume jwankulu jwa kwinani ni achikatumetume achinjakwe ŵa kwinani ŵamenyene ni lijoka lila, lijoka lila pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe lyamenyene nawo.
8 and they did not prevail, nor was their place found any more in the heaven;
Nambo lijoka lila ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ŵaputikwe, nipele ŵatopolekwe kwinani.
9 and the great dragon was cast forth — the old serpent, who is called 'Devil,' and 'the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world — he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.
Lijoka lyalikulungwa lila, lyaponyekwe paasa. Lyele ni lijoka lya kalakala lyalikuwilanjikwa Jwachigongomalo pane Shetani, jwakwalambusya ŵandu ŵa chilambo chose. Jwaponyekwe pachilambo, pampepe ni ŵakutumichila ŵakwe wose.
10 And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, 'Now did come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because cast down was the accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our God day and night;
Nipele napilikene liloŵe lyalikulungwa kwinani lichitiji, “Sambano ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu uiche! Sambano ukulupusyo uiche ni machili ni umwenye wa Akunnungu ŵetu ni ulamusi wa Kilisito jwasagulikwe aŵe Jwakuwombola! Pakuŵa ajula jwakwaŵechetela achalongo achinjetu paujo pa Akunnungu aponyekwe paasi. Jwelejo akwaŵechetela muusi ni chilo.
11 and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life — unto death;
Achalongo achinjetu wo ŵampundile Shetani kwa machili ga miasi ja Mwanangondolo ni kwa kwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni nkati chikulupi chao ku Che Yesu. Nganaunonyela umi wao, ŵaliji chile kuutyosya mpaka kuwa.
12 because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; woe to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.'
Kwayele, nsengwe mmwe kwinani ni wose ŵakutama mwelemo. Nambo, ulaje kwa chilambo ni bahali, pakuŵa Ibilisi antuluchile ali ni lutumbilo lwalukulungwa, pakuŵa akumanyilila kuti gaasigalile moŵa kanandipe.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who did bring forth the male,
Lijoka lyo palyaimanyilile kuti liponyekwe paasi pa chilambo, lyatandite kummutusya jwankongwe juŵambeleche mwanache jwannume jula.
14 and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly to the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent;
Nambo jwankongwe jula ŵapegwile mapapiko gaŵili nti ga kapungu jwankulungwa, kuti akombole kuguluka mpaka mwipululu, kwiuto kuchagosekwe uchenene, kuti agosekwe kwa yaka itatu ni miesi sita, kwati lijoka lila ngalikombola kwika.
15 and the serpent did cast forth after the woman, out of his mouth, water as a river, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river,
Ni lyele lijoka lyakopwesye meesi gamajinji kutyochela mu kang'wa mwakwe mpela lusulo, kuti gankumbe jwankongwe jo.
16 and the land did help the woman, and the land did open its mouth and did swallow up the river, that the dragon did cast forth out of his mouth;
Nambo litaka lyankamwisye jwankongwe jo, litaka lyaunukwiche mpela kang'wa ni kugamila meesi gagakopweche nkang'wa mwa lijoka.
17 and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Lijoka lyantumbilile jwankongwe jula, lyajawile kukumenyana ni iŵelesi ine ya jwankongwe jo, yaani ŵakugajitichisya makanyo ga Akunnungu ni ŵakuukamulichisya umboni nkati usyene wausasile Che Yesu.
