< Revelation 18 >

1 And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory,
Mgbe ihe ndị a niile gasịrị, ahụrụ m mmụọ ozi ọzọ ka o si nʼeluigwe na-arịdata. E nyere ya ikike dị ukwuu, ebube ya mekwara ka ihe jupụta nʼụwa.
2 and he did cry in might — a great voice, saying, 'Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,
O ji olu dị ike tie mkpu, “‘Ọ daala! Ọ daala! Babilọn Obodo Ukwu ahụ adaala!’ Ọ ghọọkwala ọgba obibi ndị mmụọ ọjọọ nʼebe nzukọ mmụọ ndị ahụ na-adịghị ọcha, nʼebe nzukọ ụmụ nnụnụ rụrụ arụ nʼebe nzukọ ụmụ anụmanụ niile na-adịghị ọcha na ndị rụrụ arụ.
3 because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich.
Nʼihi na mba niile aṅụọla site na mmanya ọnụma nke ịkwa iko ya. Ndị eze nke ụwa sokwaara ya kwaa iko, ndị na-azụ ahịa nʼụwa aghọkwaala ndị ọgaranya site nʼoke ịba ụba nke ya.”
4 And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, 'Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,
Mgbe ahụ, anụkwara m olu ọzọ si nʼeluigwe na-akpọ oku na-asị, “‘Ndị m, sinụ nʼime ya pụta,’ ka unu ghara iketa oke na mmehie ya, ka unu gharakwa iketa oke ahụhụ ya.
5 because her sins did follow — unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness.
Nʼihi na mmehie ya amụbaala ruo eluigwe. Chineke echetakwala ajọ omume ya niile.
6 Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.
Mesonụ ya mmeso dịka o si meso unu. Kwụghachinụ ya ụgwọ mmaji abụọ maka ihe o mere. Gwakọọrọnụ ya mmaji abụọ nʼime iko mmanya ahụ nke ọ gwakọọrọ ndị ọzọ.
7 'As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;
Nye ya ọtụtụ mmekpa ahụ na obi ilu dịka ndụ otuto, nʼime onwe ya obi ụtọ nke o nyere onwe ya. Ọ na-ekwu nʼobi ya na-asị, ‘Abụ m eze nwanyị nọ nʼelu ocheeze m. Abụghị m nwanyị di ya nwụrụ, iru ụjụ ọbụla adịghị nye m.’
8 because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her;
Nʼihi nke a, ihe ntaramahụhụ ya ga-abịakwasị ya nʼotu ụbọchị, ọnwụ na iru ụjụ nke ọnwụ na-eweta, na ụnwụ. A ga-eji ọkụ rechapụ ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke onye na-ekpe ya ikpe, dị ike.
9 and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning,
“Ndị eze nke ụwa, ndị soro ya kwaa iko, ma bie ndụ ọchịchọ ọjọọ ya, ga-akwa akwa, ruo ụjụ nʼihi ya, mgbe ha ga-ahụ anwụrụ ọkụ nke ịkpọ ọkụ ya.
10 from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment.
Ha ga-eji oke egwu guzo nʼebe dị anya, kwaa akwa nʼihi ntaramahụhụ ya sị, “‘Ahụhụ, Ahụhụ dịrị gị, Babilọn, Obodo ukwu a maara aha ya gị Babilọn, obodo e ji ịdị ike maara. Nʼotu ntabi anya, ikpe nke gị na-abịa.’
11 'And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more;
“Ndị ahịa nke ụwa ga-akwa akwa ruokwa ụjụ nʼihi ya, nʼihi na ọ dịkwaghị onye na-azụ ihe ahịa ha ọzọ.
12 lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,
Ngwa ahịa ọlaedo gị, na ọlaọcha, na ọla e ji achọ mma na nkume oke ọnụahịa, ezi akwa ọcha, na akwa uhie uhie, na akwa lọrịlọrị, na akwa odo odo, osisi niile na-esi isi ọma, ihe niile e ji ọdụ enyi mee, ngwa ahịa niile e ji osisi niile dị oke ọnụahịa mee, bronz, igwe na nkume mabụl.
13 and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.
Ha na ụda sinamọn na mmanụ otite nke ọkpụrụkpụ eso osisi na-esi isi ụtọ, máá na frankisens, mmanya na mmanụ oliv, ụtụ ọka na wiiti, ehi na atụrụ, ịnyịnya na ụgbọala agha, na ndị na-ere mmadụ ibe ha dịka ohu, na ahụ mmadụ na mkpụrụobi mmadụ.
14 'And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things — the dainty and the bright — did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.
“Ha ga-asị, ‘Mkpụrụ ndị ahụ niile nke na-agụ mkpụrụobi agụ e sitela nʼebe ị nọ gabiga. Ihe ọma niile i ji ebi ndụ, na ihe oke ọnụahịa niile i ji azụ afọ gị, efunarịla gị. Apụghị ịchọtakwa ha ọzọ mgbe ọbụla.’
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing,
Ndị ahịa ahụ bara ọgaranya site nʼaka ya, ga-anọ nʼebe dị anya, nʼihi oke egwu nke ntaramahụhụ ya, na-eru ụjụ, na-ebesikwa akwa ike.
16 and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls — because in one hour so much riches were made waste!
“‘Ahụhụ, Ahụhụ dịrị gị, obodo ukwu ahụ, nke e yikwasịrị ezi akwa ọcha, nke na-acha odo odo na ọbara ọbara nke nya ihe ịchọ mma nke ọlaedo, nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche na nkume pieal dị iche iche.
17 'And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood,
Nʼotu awa a ka a lara oke akụ niile ndị a nʼiyi.’ “Ndị niile nwee ụgbọ na-aga nʼoke osimiri, na ndị na-akwọ ụgbọ ndị ahịa nʼoke osimiri, na ndị niile na-eso ụgbọ mmiri ga-anọ nʼebe tere anya,
18 and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city?
na-eti mkpu mgbe ha ga na-ele anya na-ahụ anwụrụ ọkụ na-ala elu site nʼire ọkụ ya na-asị, ‘Olee obodo ọzọ dịka obodo ukwuu a?’
19 and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness — for in one hour was she made waste.
Ha ga-ekpokwasị aja nʼisi igosi obi ọjọọ ha na-eti mkpu akwa na-asị, “‘Ahụhụ, Ahụhụ dịrị gị, obodo ukwu a maara aha ya ebe ndị niile nwere ụgbọ mmiri na-aga nʼosimiri ghọrọ ndị ọgaranya site nʼakụ dị nʼime ya. Ma ugbu a, nʼotu ntabi anya, ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ ihe a laara nʼiyi.’
20 'Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'
“Ma gị eluigwe, ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼihi ihe a dakwasịrị ya, unu ndị nsọ, ṅụrịakwanụ ọnụ, unu ndị amụma na ndị ozi, ṅụrịakwanụ ọnụ. Nʼihi na Chineke ekpeela ya ikpe nʼihi mmeso ya megide unu.”
21 And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great millstone, and did cast [it] to the sea, saying, 'Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found any more at all;
Mgbe ahụ, otu mmụọ ozi dị ukwuu tụtụlitere otu nkume nke dịka nkume igwe nri, tụba ya nʼime oke osimiri, na-asị, “Otu a ka a ga-esi tufuo Babilọn obodo ukwu ahụ, agaghị ahụkwa ya ọzọ.
22 and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any artisan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any more;
Ọ dịghị mgbe ọzọ ụzụ egwu ga-adị nʼebe ahụ. Agaghị anụkwa olu ọja na une na ụbọ akwara na nke ndị na-afụ opi ike nʼime gị ọzọ. Aghaghị ahụ onye ọrụ ǹka ọbụla nʼime gị ọzọ. Agaghị anụkwa ụzụ nkume igwe nri nʼime gị ọzọ.
23 and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,
Ìhè nke sitere nʼoriọna agaghị acha nʼime gị ọzọ. Olu obi ụtọ nke nwoke na nwanyị na-alụ di na nwunye agaghị adịkwa. Ndị mgbereahịa gị bụ ndị a ma ama nʼelu ụwa, ọ bụkwa mgbaasị gị ka e ji duhie mba niile nke ụwa.
24 and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.'
Nʼime ya ka a hụrụ ọbara ndị amụma niile, na nke ndị nsọ niile, na nke ndị ọzọ ahụ niile e gburu nʼụwa.”
