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.
AND one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and spake with me, saying, Come; I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, which sitteth upon many waters:
2 Na nĩwe athamaki a thĩ maatharirie nake, na andũ arĩa matũũraga thĩ makarĩĩo nĩ ndibei ya ũtharia wake.”
with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and they who dwell in the earth have been made drunk by 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.
And he led me into the desert, in the spirit; and I saw a woman sitting on a beast of prey which was red, full of names of blasphemy, (and) having seven heads and ten horns.
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 arrayed in purple and scarlet, and golden with gold and precious stones and pearls; having a cup of gold in her hand, full of pollutions and uncleanness of her fornications the earth.
5 Thiithi-inĩ wake aandĩkwo rĩĩtwa atĩrĩ: KĨRIGA BABULONI ŨRĨA MŨNENE, NYINA WA MARAYA, NA WA MAŨNDŨ MOTHE MARĨA MARĨ MAGIGI MA THĨ.
And upon her forehead the name was written, Mystery: Babel the Great, the Mother of Harlots and of the 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 saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jeshu; and I wondered, when I saw, with great wonder.
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.
And the angel said to me, Why wonderest thou? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast of prey which beareth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
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 of prey which thou seest, was, and is not; and will ascend from the abyss, and go into perdition: and they who dwell on the earth will admire, they whose name is not written in the book of life from the foundations of the world, while they see the beast of prey, who was, and is not, and draweth nigh. (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 of him who hath wisdom: The seven heads are seven hills where the woman sitteth upon them.
10 Ningĩ nĩ athamaki mũgwanja. Atano nĩmeherete, ũmwe arĩ ho, na ũrĩa ũngĩ ndarĩ arooka; no ooka-rĩ, no nginya aikare o kahinda kanini.
And the kings are seven; five have fallen, one is, the other not yet hath come: and when he hath come, a little while it behoveth him to abide.
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 of prey which was and is not, this is an Eighth, and is of the Seven, and is unto perdition.
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 ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, the men who kingdom not yet have received; but authority as kings one hour receive with the beast of prey.
13 Marĩ na muoroto ũmwe, na nĩmakaheana ũhoti na wathani wao kũrĩ nyamũ ĩyo.
They have one will, and their power and their authority unto the beast of prey they will give.
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.”
They with the Lamb will make war, and the Lamb will overcome them; for he is the Lord of lords, and the King of kings, and they who are with him (are) the called and the chosen and the faithful.
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 to me, The waters which thou sawest where the harlot is sitting, are peoples, and assemblages, 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 ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast of prey, will hate the harlot, and make her desolate and naked; and her flesh they will eat, and herself burn 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 Aloha hath ingiven it to their hands that they might do his will, and perform one will to give their kingdom to the wild beast, until shall be fulfilled the words of Aloha.
18 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wonire nĩwe itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩa rĩathaga athamaki a thĩ.”
And the woman which thou sawest is the great city which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
