< Kũguũrĩrio 12 >
1 Ningĩ kũu igũrũ gũkĩoneka ũrirũ mũnene wa kũgegania: gũkĩoneka mũndũ-wa-nja wehumbĩte riũa, agacooka agakinya mweri na magũrũ, na agekĩra thũmbĩ ya njata ikũmi na igĩrĩ mũtwe.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 Aarĩ na nda, na nĩakayaga nĩ ruo tondũ aarĩ hakuhĩ kũheo mwana.
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 Ningĩ gũkĩoneka ũrirũ ũngĩ kũu igũrũ na atĩrĩ: nĩ ndamathia nene yarĩ ndune, na yarĩ na ciongo mũgwanja, na hĩa ikũmi, na thũmbĩ mũgwanja ciongo-inĩ ciayo.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 Naguo mũtingʼoe wayo ũkĩhaata gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa njata cia igũrũ na ĩgĩcirekania thĩ. Ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩrũgama mbere ya mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio warĩ hakuhĩ kũheo mwana, nĩguo ĩtambuure mwana ũcio aaciarwo o ũguo.
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩgĩa mwana wa kahĩĩ, ũrĩa ũgaathaga ndũrĩrĩ ciothe na rũthanju rwa kĩgera. Nake mwana ũcio akĩhurio, agĩtwarwo igũrũ gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Ngai.
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
6 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩũrĩra werũ-inĩ, handũ harĩa aathondekeirwo nĩ Ngai, harĩa aarĩ amenyererwo handũ ha ihinda rĩa matukũ 1,260.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.
7 Na rĩrĩ, kũu igũrũ gũkĩgĩa mbaara. Mikaeli na araika ake makĩrũa na ndamathia ĩyo, nayo ndamathia na araika ayo makĩrũa nao.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 No ndamathia ndĩarĩ na hinya wa kũigana, nayo hamwe na araika ayo makĩaga ũikaro kũu igũrũ.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Nayo ndamathia ĩyo nene ĩkĩnyugutwo thĩ, na nĩyo nyoka ĩrĩa ya tene, o ĩrĩa ĩĩtagwo mũcukani, na ĩgeetwo Shaitani, ĩrĩa ĩhĩtithagia andũ a thĩ yothe. Nayo ĩkĩnyugutwo thĩ hamwe na araika ayo.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene kũu igũrũ, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: “Rĩu ũhonokio nĩ mũkinyu, na ũhoti, na ũthamaki wa Ngai witũ, o na wathani wa Kristũ wake. Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũcuukaga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ũrĩa ũmacuukaga mbere ya Ngai mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩaharũrũkĩtio thĩ.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 Nao nĩmamũtooririe na ũndũ wa thakame ya Gatũrũme, o na nĩ ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa ũira wao; na matiigana kwenda kũhonokia mĩoyo yao, o na maatuĩka a gũkua.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kenai inyuĩ igũrũ, o na inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga kuo! No kaĩ thĩ na iria rĩrĩa inene irĩ na haaro-ĩ, tondũ mũcukani nĩaikũrũkĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ! Nake aiyũrĩtwo nĩ marũrũ manene, tondũ nĩoĩ atĩ ihinda rĩake rĩrĩa rĩtigaire nĩ inyinyi.”
Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 Rĩrĩa ndamathia ĩyo yoonire atĩ nĩyanyugutwo thĩ, ikĩambĩrĩria kũnyariira mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio waagĩĩte mwana wa kahĩĩ.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
14 Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩheo mathagu meerĩ ma nderi ĩrĩa nene nĩgeetha ombũke athiĩ werũ-inĩ handũ harĩa aathondekeirwo, harĩa aarĩ amenyererwo kwa ihinda, na kwa mahinda na nuthu ya ihinda, harĩa atangĩakinyĩrirwo nĩ nyoka ĩyo.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 Nayo nyoka ĩyo ĩkĩhorora maaĩ kuuma kanua kayo o ta rũũĩ, nĩgeetha ĩkinyĩrie mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio, ĩtũme atwarwo nĩ kĩguũ kĩu.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 No thĩ nayo ĩgĩteithĩrĩria mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio na ũndũ wa gwathamia kanua kayo, nayo ĩkĩmeria rũũĩ rũu rwahororetwo nĩ ndamathia ĩyo kuuma kanua kayo.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩrakarĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio mũno, nayo ĩgĩthiĩ kũrũa na ciana iria ingĩ ciake, na nĩo andũ arĩa maathĩkagĩra maathani ma Ngai, na makagwatĩria ũira wa Jesũ.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
