< Revelation 17 >

1 And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, 'Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters,
Moko kati na ba-anjelu sambo oyo bazalaki na bakopo sambo ayaki mpe alobaki na ngai: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo etumbu oyo mwasi ya ndumba monene oyo avandaka na bibale minene akozwa.
2 with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;'
Bakonzi minene ya mokili basalaki ekobo elongo na ye, mpe bavandi ya mokili balangwaki vino ya kindumba na ye. »
3 and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,
Bongo kati na Molimo, amemaki ngai kati na esobe moko. Mpe kuna, namonaki mwasi moko avanda na likolo ya nyama ya motane. Loposo ya nyama yango etondaki na bakombo oyo ezalaki kofinga Nzambe. Yango moko nyama ezalaki na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
4 and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,
Mwasi yango alataki bilamba ya motane ya pete mpe ya motane makasi, babiju ya wolo, mabanga ya talo mpe mayaka. Na loboko na ye, asimbaki kopo moko basala na wolo mpe etonda na makambo ya nkele mpe ya bosoto ya kindumba na ye.
5 and upon her forehead was a name written: 'Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.'
Na mbunzu na ye, bakomaki kombo moko oyo ebombaki makambo ya somo mpe oyo ndimbola na yango ezali: Babiloni monene, Mama ya Basi ya Ndumba mpe ya Makambo ya Nkele ya Mokili.
6 And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder — having seen her — with great wonder;
Namonaki ete mwasi yango alangwaki makila ya basantu mpe ya batatoli ya Yesu. Tango kaka namonaki ye, namitungisaki mingi.
7 and the messenger said to me, 'Wherefore didst thou wonder? I — I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
Bongo anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa? Nakoyebisa yo mabombami ya mwasi wana mpe ya nyama oyo ememi ye, nyama oyo ezali na mito sambo mpe na maseke zomi.
8 'The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. (Abyssos g12)
Nyama oyo omonaki; oyo liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te; ekobima wuta na libulu moko ya monene mpe ya molili makasi, mpe ekokende na libebi na yango. Bavandi ya mokili, ba-oyo bakombo na bango ekomama te kati na buku ya bomoi wuta na ebandeli ya mokili bakokamwa tango bakomona nyama; pamba te liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, kasi ekoya lisusu. (Abyssos g12)
9 'Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit,
Makambo oyo ezali penza kosenga mayele oyo bwanya engengisaka mpo na kososola yango. Mito sambo ezali bangomba sambo epai wapi mwasi avandaka.
10 and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;
Ezali lisusu bakonzi sambo: mitano kati na bango basila kokweya na bokonzi. Moko azali sik’oyo na bokonzi, mpe mosusu ayei nanu te; kasi tango akoya, akowumela kaka mpo na tango moke.
11 and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away.
Bongo nyama oyo, liboso, ezalaki, mpe sik’oyo, ezali lisusu te, yango nde mokonzi ya mwambe. Ezali mpe moko kati na bakonzi wana sambo, mpe ezali kokende na libebi na yango.
12 'And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast,
Maseke zomi oyo omonaki ezali bakonzi zomi oyo bazwi nanu bokonzi te, kasi bakozwa yango mpo na ngonga moko mpe bakosalela yango lisanga na nyama.
13 these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over;
Bango nyonso zomi bazali na likanisi kaka moko: kosangisa nguya mpe bokonzi na bango mpo na kosalela nyama.
14 these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.'
Bakobundisa Mpate, kasi Mpate akolonga bango mpo ete azali Nkolo ya bankolo mpe Mokonzi ya bakonzi. Elongo na Ye, babengami, baponami mpe ba-oyo bazali sembo bakolonga mpe lokola. »
15 And he saith to me, 'The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;'
Anjelu alobaki na ngai: « Mayi oyo omonaki, oyo mwasi ya ndumba avandaki na likolo na yango, ezali bato ya mokili, bangulupa ebele ya bato, bikolo mpe nkota.
16 and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire,
Nyama mpe maseke zomi oyo omonaki ekoyina mwasi ya ndumba, ekobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe ekotika ye bolumbu; ekolia misuni na ye mpe ekotumba ye na nzela ya moto.
17 for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete,
Pamba te Nzambe atia kati na mitema na bango makanisi ya kokokisa mabongisi na Ye moko Nzambe, na boyokani malamu mpo na kolatisa nyama wana nguya na bango ya bokonzi, kino mikano nyonso ya Nzambe ekokisama.
18 and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.'
Mwasi oyo omonaki ezali engumba monene oyo ekonzaka bakonzi ya mokili. »
