< Kũguũrĩrio 13 >
1 Nayo ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩrũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria. Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩona nyamũ ĩkiuma iria thĩinĩ. Nyamũ ĩyo yarĩ na hĩa ikũmi, na mĩtwe mũgwanja, na hĩa-inĩ ciayo yarĩ na thũmbĩ ikũmi, na o mũtwe wayo warĩ na rĩĩtwa rĩa kũruma Ngai.
And I saw, out of the sea, a wild-beast coming up; having ten horns, and seven heads, and, upon his horns, ten diadems, and, upon his head, names of blasphemy.
2 Nyamũ ĩyo ndonire yahaanaga ta ngarĩ, no magũrũ mayo maatariĩ ta ma nduba, nako kanua kayo kahaanaga ta ka mũrũũthi. Nayo ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩhe nyamũ ĩyo hinya wayo na gĩtĩ kĩayo kĩa ũnene o na wathani mũnene.
And, the beast which I saw, was like unto a leopard; and, his feet, as of a bear, and, his mouth, as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave unto him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
3 Mũtwe ũmwe wa nyamũ ĩyo wonekaga ta waringĩtwo iringa rĩa kĩũrago, no iringa rĩu rĩa kĩũrago nĩrĩahonete. Nayo thĩ yothe nĩyagegete na ĩkĩrũmĩrĩra nyamũ ĩyo.
And [I saw] one of his heads, showing that it had been slain unto death, and, the stroke of his death, was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the wild-beast,
4 Nao andũ magĩkĩhooya ndamathia ĩyo tondũ nĩyaheete nyamũ ĩyo ũhoti wayo, o na makĩhooya nyamũ ĩyo, na makooragia atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũtariĩ ta nyamũ ĩno? Nũũ ũngĩmĩũkĩrĩra, arũe nayo?”
and did homage unto the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the wild-beast; and they did homage unto the wild-beast, saying—Who is like unto the wild-beast? and Who can make war with him?
5 Nayo nyamũ ĩyo ĩkĩheo kanua ga kwaria ciugo cia mwĩtĩĩo na cia kũruma Ngai, na ĩkĩheo ihinda rĩa gwathana rĩa mĩeri mĩrongo ĩna na ĩĩrĩ.
And there was given unto him, a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and it was given unto him to act, forty and two months.
6 Nyamũ ĩyo ĩgĩtumũra kanua ĩrume Ngai, na ĩcambie rĩĩtwa rĩake, na gĩikaro gĩake, o na arĩa matũũraga kũu igũrũ.
And he opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent, —them, who, in heaven were tabernacling.
7 Nĩyaheirwo hinya nĩguo ĩrũe na arĩa aamũre na ĩmatoorie. Na ĩkĩheo wathani igũrũ rĩa mĩhĩrĩga yothe, na andũ a iruka ciothe, na thiomi ciothe, o na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
[And it was given unto him, to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; ] and there was given him, authority against every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
8 Nao andũ othe arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo, arĩa othe marĩĩtwa mao matarĩ maandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo rĩa Gatũrũme karĩa gaathĩnjirwo, makĩinamĩrĩra nyamũ ĩyo mamĩhooe.
And all they who are dwelling upon the earth will do homage unto him, —[every one] whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na gũtũ nĩakĩigue.
If anyone hath an ear: let him hear.
10 Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo nĩ wa gũtahwo, nĩegũtahwo athiĩ. Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo nĩ wa kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ atakooragwo na rũhiũ. Ũguo nĩkuonania atĩ andũ arĩa aamũre nĩmabataire gũkirĩrĩria, na marĩ na wĩtĩkio.
If anyone [carrieth] into captivity, into captivity, he goeth away. If anyone, with a sword, doth slay, he must, with a sword, be slain. Here, is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 Ngĩcooka ngĩona nyamũ ĩngĩ, ĩkiuma na thĩ. Nyamũ ĩyo yarĩ na hĩa igĩrĩ ta cia gatũrũme, no yaaragia ta ndamathia.
And I saw another wild-beast, coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns, like unto a lamb, and began speaking as a dragon.
12 Nyamũ ĩyo ĩgĩathana na ũhoti wothe wa nyamũ ĩrĩa ya mbere ithenya rĩayo, ĩgĩtũma thĩ na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo mahooyage nyamũ ĩyo ya mbere, o ĩyo yahonete iringa rĩayo rĩa kĩũrago.
And, all the authority of the first wild-beast, he useth before him; and causeth the earth, and them who, therein, are dwelling, that they shall do homage unto the first wild-beast, whose stroke of death, was healed.
13 Nayo ĩkĩringa ciama nene na morirũ, o na ĩgĩtũma mwaki ũikũrũke uume igũrũ ũũke thĩ andũ makĩonaga.
And he doeth great signs, so that, even fire, he causeth to be coming down unto the earth before men;
14 Tondũ wa morirũ macio nĩyaheirwo hinya wa kũringa ciama ithenya rĩa nyamũ ĩyo ya mbere, ĩkĩheenia andũ arĩa matũire thĩ. Ningĩ ĩgĩatha andũ mathondeke mũhianano nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa nyamũ ĩyo, yagurarĩtio na rũhiũ rwa njora no yarĩ o muoyo.
and he deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild-beast, —saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild-beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet did live.
15 Nĩyaheirwo hinya wa kũhe mũhianano ũcio wa nyamũ ĩyo ya mbere mĩhũmũ, nĩguo ũhote kwaria, na ũtũme arĩa othe maaregete kũhooya mũhianano ũcio wa nyamũ ĩyo mooragwo.
And it was given unto it, to give spirit unto the image of the wild-beast, in order that the image of the wild-beast should both speak and should cause that, as many as should not do homage unto the image of the wild-beast, should be slain.
16 Ningĩ nĩyaathire andũ othe na hinya, arĩa anini na arĩa anene, arĩa itonga na arĩa athĩĩni, arĩa meyathĩte na arĩa ngombo, o mũndũ ekĩrwo rũũri guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo kana thiithi-inĩ wake,
And he causeth all—the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, —that they should give unto them a mark, upon their right hand or upon their forehead;
17 nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũngĩendia kana agũre, atarĩ na rũũri rũu, na nĩruo rĩĩtwa rĩa nyamũ ĩyo, kana namba ya rĩĩtwa rĩayo.
[and] that no one should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩũbataire ũũgĩ. Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo arĩ na ũmenyo-rĩ, nĩeke ithabu rĩa namba ya nyamũ ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo nĩ namba ya mũndũ. Nayo namba yake nĩ 666.
Here, is, wisdom: he that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is, the number of a man; and, his number, is 666.
