Kũguũrĩrio 17
1 Nake mũraika ũmwe wa araika acio mũgwanja, maarĩ na mbakũri mũgwanja agĩũka, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, nguonie iherithia rĩa mũmaraya ũrĩa mũnene, ũrĩa ũikarĩte igũrũ rĩa maaĩ maingĩ.
Then there came one of the seuen Angels, which had the seuen vials, and talked with me, saying vnto me, Come: I will shewe thee the damnation of the great whore that sitteth vpon many waters,
2 Na nĩwe athamaki a thĩ maatharirie nake, na andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ makarĩĩo nĩ ndibei ya ũtharia wake.”
With whom haue committed fornication the Kings of the earth, and the inhabitants of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication.
3 Ningĩ mũraika ũcio akĩnjoya ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho, akĩndwara werũ-inĩ. Ndĩ kũu werũ-inĩ ngĩona mũndũ-wa-nja aikarĩire nyamũ yarĩ ndune ta gakarakũ, na yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ marĩĩtwa ma kũruma Ngai mwĩrĩ wayo, na yarĩ na ciongo mũgwanja na hĩa ikũmi.
So he caried me away into the wildernesse in the Spirit, and I sawe a woman sit vpon a skarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemie, which had seuen heads, and tenne hornes.
4 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ehumbĩte nguo cia rangi wa ndathi na mũtune, na akegemia na thahabu, na tũhiga twa goro, o na ruru. Guoko-inĩ gwake nĩanyiitĩte gĩkombe gĩa thahabu kĩiyũrĩtio maũndũ marĩ magigi, na ciĩko cia ũtharia wake.
And the woman was arayed in purple and skarlet, and gilded with golde, and precious stones, and pearles, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthines of her fornication.
5 Thiithi-inĩ wake aandĩkwo rĩĩtwa atĩrĩ: KĨRIGA BABULONI ŨRĨA MŨNENE, NYINA WA MARAYA, NA WA MAŨNDŨ MOTHE MARĨA MARĨ MAGIGI MA THĨ.
And in her forehead was a name written, A mysterie, that great Babylon, that mother of whoredomes, and abominations of the earth.
6 Nĩndonire atĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio aarĩ mũrĩĩu, akarĩĩo nĩ thakame ya andũ arĩa aamũre, o na thakame ya andũ arĩa maarĩ aira a Jesũ. Na rĩrĩa ndaamuonire, ngĩgega mũno.
And I sawe ye woman drunken with the blood of Saintes, and with the blood of the Martyrs of IESVS: and when I sawe her, I wondred with great marueile.
7 Nake mũraika ũcio akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ: “Wagegio nĩ kĩĩ? Nĩngũgũtaarĩria hitho ya mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio na ya nyamũ ĩyo ahaicĩte, ĩyo ĩrĩ na ciongo mũgwanja na hĩa ikũmi.
Then the Angel saide vnto me, Wherefore marueilest thou? I will shewe thee the misterie of that woman, and of that beast, that beareth her, which hath seuen heads, and tenne hornes.
8 Nyamũ ĩyo wonire yarĩ ho, na rĩu ndĩrĩ ho, na ĩrĩ hakuhĩ kuuma Irima-rĩrĩa-Rĩtarĩ-Gĩturi ĩthiĩ ĩkaanangwo. Nao andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ, arĩa marĩĩtwa mao mataandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo nĩmakagega mona nyamũ ĩyo, tondũ hĩndĩ ĩmwe yarĩ ho, na rĩu ndĩrĩ ho, no nĩĩrĩũka. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that thou hast seene, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomles pit, and shall goe into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth, shall wonder (whose names are not written in the booke of life from the foundation of ye world) when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)
9 “Ũndũ ũyũ ũkwenda gwĩciirio na ũũgĩ. Ciongo icio mũgwanja nĩ irĩma mũgwanja iria ciikarĩirwo nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio.
Here is the mind that hath wisdome. The seuen heads, are seuen mountaines, whereon the woman sitteth: they are also seuen Kings.
10 Ningĩ nĩ athamaki mũgwanja. Atano nĩmeherete, ũmwe arĩ ho, na ũrĩa ũngĩ ndarĩ arooka; no ooka-rĩ, no nginya aikare o kahinda kanini.
Fiue are fallen, and one is, and another is not yet come: and when he commeth, he must continue a short space.
11 Nyamũ ĩrĩa yarĩ kuo, na rĩu ndĩrĩ ho, nĩyo mũthamaki wa kanana. We nĩ ũmwe wa acio mũgwanja, na rĩu erekeire kwanangwo.
And the beast that was, and is not, is euen the eight, and is one of the seuen, and shall goe into destruction.
12 “Hĩa icio ikũmi wonire nĩ athamaki ikũmi arĩa mataahetwo ũthamaki, no nĩmakaheo wathani ta athamaki maathane ithaa rĩmwe hamwe na nyamũ ĩyo.
And the tenne hornes which thou sawest, are tenne Kings, which yet haue not receiued a kingdome, but shall receiue power, as Kings at one houre with the beast.
13 Marĩ na muoroto ũmwe, na nĩmakaheana ũhoti na wathani wao kũrĩ nyamũ ĩyo.
These haue one minde, and shall giue their power, and authoritie vnto the beast.
14 Nao nĩmakarũa na Gatũrũme, no Gatũrũme nĩakamatooria tondũ nĩwe Mwathani wa aathani, na Mũthamaki wa athamaki, na andũ arĩa agaakorwo hamwe nao nĩ arũmĩrĩri ake arĩa metĩtwo, na magathuurwo, na nĩ ehokeku.”
These shall fight with the Lambe, and the Lambe shall ouercome them: for he is Lord of Lordes, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithfull.
15 Ningĩ mũraika ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Maaĩ macio wonire hau mũmaraya ũcio aikarĩte nĩ iruka cia andũ, na irĩndĩ, na ndũrĩrĩ, na thiomi.
And he said vnto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 Nayo nyamũ ĩyo wonire, na hĩa icio ikũmi nĩgũthũũra ĩgaathũũra mũmaraya ũcio. Nacio nĩikamwananga na ĩmũtige arĩ njaga; nĩikaarĩa nyama ciake, na imũcine na mwaki.
And the tenne hornes which thou sawest vpon the beast, are they that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eate her flesh, and burne her with fire.
17 Nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩekĩrĩte ngoro-inĩ ciao rĩciiria rĩa kũhingia muoroto wake na ũndũ wa kũiguanĩra mahe nyamũ ĩyo hinya wao wa gwathana, nginya ciugo cia Ngai ihinge.
For God hath put in their heartes to fulfill his will, and to doe with one consent for to giue their kingdome vnto the beast, vntill the wordes of God be fulfilled.
18 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wonire nĩwe itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩa rĩathaga athamaki a thĩ.”
And that woman which thou sawest, is that great citie, which reigneth ouer the kings of ye earth.
