Mi Doagidima 18
1 Lani yaapuoli, n den laa maleki toa ke o ñani tanpoli po ki ji. o den pia li bali boncianla, o kpiagidi mo den yendi ki tinga.
After this I saw another angel, descending from heaven, invested with great authority; and the earth was illuminated by his splendour.
2 O den kpaani leni u nialiciamu ki yedi: u baa, u baa u dociamu babilona baa u tua mu cicibiadimu yekaanu, a cicibiada kuli wuonkanu leni ya bonyugiditi n joagini ki go gundi kuli n jiidi nankani ki wuondi.
With a mighty voice he cried – ‘She has fallen! She has fallen – Babylon the Great! She has become an abode of demons, a stronghold of every wicked spirit, a stronghold of every foul and hateful bird.
3 Kelima yi nibuoli kuli den ñuni ya duven n tie u concon kandikaama ke ki tinga badiba den punibi yula upo, ki conbi leni u, ki tinga kpenkpenda mo den tua piada kelima u yeŋan - kandikaama po.
For, after drinking the maddening wine of her licentiousness, all the nations have fallen; while all the kings of the earth have had licentious intercourse with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the excess of her luxury.’
4 N go den gbadi ñialito ke u maadi tanpoli po ki yedi yinba n niba, ña mani u niini. Ke yin da taani leni u u tuonbiadi nni. Ke yin da ti taani leni u, u falabiadi nni.
Then I heard another voice from heaven saying – ‘Come out of her, my people, so that you may not participate in her sins, and that you may not suffer from the curses inflicted on her.
5 Kelima u tuonbiadi dogini ki pundi hali tanpoli po ke U Tienu mo tiadi wun teni ya biadima kuli po.
For her sins are heaped up to the heavens, and God has not forgotten her misdeeds.
6 Pa u mani, nani wun den pa maama, ki guani u mani taalima lie wun den tieni yaala po wun den kuodi ya tañokaaga nni, kuodi mani u po lienni talima lie.
Pay her back the treatment with which she has treated you; yes, repay twice over what her actions deserve; in the cup which she mixed for you, mix for her as much again;
7 Wun den kpiagidi u yuli, ki ye mi yemanma nni ke li pundi ya bianu, pa u mani o falabiado leni li paboanli lan pundi yeni. kelima u yedi u pali nni: N ka li bali kalikaanu po ki tie pobado, mii tie kpepuoli ka, n kan le paboanli.
for her self-glorification and her luxury, give her now an equal measure of torture and misery. In her heart she says “I sit here a queen; no widow am I; I will never know misery.”
8 Lani yaapo, u falabiadi baa baa u po dayenli: mi kuuma, li paboanli, leni mi konbiadima, mi fantama baa buoni u. Kelima O Diedo U Tienu, yua pia upaalu n jia u buudi ki cuo u.
Therefore in one day will these curses strike her – death, misery, and famine, and she will be utterly consumed by fire; for mighty is the Lord God who condemned her.’
9 Ki tinga badiba kuli, yaaba n den puni bi yula u ki conbi leni u ki go taani leni u, wun den ye ya yemanma nni baa mua yi kuomoe bi ya laa ya yogunu u buodima fantañii.
All the kings of the earth who had licentious intercourse with her and shared her luxury will weep and lament over her, when they see the smoke from the burning city,
10 ti jawandi baa ti cuo baa kelima u falabiado po ke bi baa ti paadi ki ban sedi ki yaa tua: fala fala, u dociamu babilona, ya dogu n pia u paalu yogunjenjenga nne ke a buudi cuonu baa a po.
while they stand at a distance, horrified at her torture, and cry – ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! Mighty city of Babylon! In a single hour your judgment fell.’
11 Lani ki tinga kpenkpenda den buudi ki go ye leni li paboanli u po, kelima oba kuli ki go da ban kpendinni ya tiadi.
And the merchants of the earth weep and wail over her, because no longer does anyone buy their cargoes –
12 Yaadi n tie wula leni ŋanjilifa, leni ya tanbila n pia mayuli boncianla leni ya lanbima ya dunga yaba boncianla, leni len ya caba, leni ya caba n moani, leni ya n yi sua, leni ya n moani coicoi, leni ya daadi n pia u nuulimanu buoli kuli leni ya tiabuoli n tagi leni ya daadi n ŋani boncianla, leni ya tiadi n tagi leni ti kumoandi leni ti kuboandi leni ya tanpiena buoli n ŋani boncianla.
their cargoes of gold, or silver, or precious stones, or pearls, or fine linen, or purple robes, or silk, or scarlet cloth; nor their many scented woods; nor their many articles of ivory; nor their many articles of choicest wood, or brass, or iron, or marble;
13 Leni sinamomi, leni ya tisinma ya nuulu n mani, leni tulale, leni mili, leni a dugibila, leni duven, leni mi kpama, leni mi yonŋanma, leni ŋalikama, leni i ne, leni i pe, leni yi taami leni ti toateliti leni ti gbannandi leni bi nisaaliba naani.
nor their cinnamon, or spice, or incense, or perfumes, or frankincense, or wine, or oil, or fine flour, or wheat, or cattle, or sheep; nor their horses, or chariots, or slaves; nor the bodies and souls of people.
14 Ya bonluonkaala den tie a po tiladi kuli foagidi leni a yaala n den mani ki go pia mi ñuanma a po kuli bodi, a kan go goa le la.
The fruit that your soul craved is no longer within your reach, and all dainties and luxuries are lost to you, never to be found again.
15 Ya kpenkpenda n den tua piada u dogu-ciamu yeni po, ban den kpendi yaala nni, baa piadi ki ban sedi foagima leni ti jawaandi u falabiado po; bi baa buudi li paboanli bubula,
The merchants who sold these things, and grew rich by her, will stand at a distance weeping and wailing, horrified at her torture, and crying –
16 ki tua, ŋain, ŋain, u doguciamu, yu n den laa ti tiamoandi, leni yaadi n moani coicoi, ki bobi wula, leni ya tanbila n pia mayuli boncianla, ki ñuliti ki pelini leniya lanbila ya dunga n pa. laa piama kuli bodi yenma, ki yoginjienjienga ni nni?
‘Alas! Alas! Great city! City clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet cloth! City adorned with gold ornaments, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 Ti ñindabiaciandi danba, leni yaaba n kua ti ni nni, ki ca lipo, leni ti tuonsoanba, leni yaaba n tuuni bi tuonli mi ñincianma nni kuli den piadi ki ban see foagima.
In a single hour your vast wealth vanished.’ Every ship’s captain and all who sail to any port, and sailors, and all who get their living from the sea, stood at a distance,
18 Ki nua u dogu yeni buodima fantanŋii ki tangi ki tua; u laa dogu n den naani leni u naa dogu cianmu?
and seeing the smoke from the burning city, cried – ‘What city can compare with the Great city?’
19 Bi den wuliti bi yula po mi tama, ki mua ikumoe, ki tangi ki tua, fala, fala, baa u do- ciamu, yu ya piacianma po n den teni ke yaaba n pia ti ti ñinbiaciandi mi ñincianma nni kuli tua piada. u bodi yenma yogunjenjenga nni.
They threw dust on their heads, and, as they wept and wailed, they cried – ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! All who have ships on the sea grew rich through her magnificence. In a single hour it has vanished.’
20 Tanpoli, mangi a pali u po! yinba, bi nigagidiŋanba, bi tondiba, leni bi sawalipuaba kuli mo n mangi yi pala. kelima U Tienu saa yi po yi moamoani, ki jia u buudi.
Rejoice over her, heaven, and people of Christ, and apostles, and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!
21 Lani ya maleki n pia u paalu boncianla den yua ya tancianli n naani leni li naacianli, ki luni li mi ñincianma nni ki yedi; yene ke bi baa lu u do-ciamu babilona ke bi kan go le u.
Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, crying – ‘So will Babylon, the great city, be violently overthrown, never more to be seen.
22 Bi kan go gbadi a ni nni bi kogidi puaba leni ti bantiadi, leni yaaba n piebi mu yelimu, leni yaaba n piebi kakacinba ya niali. bi kan go le tuonsoan-banmaba kuli daano a niinni bi kan go gbadi naali moe a niinni.
No more will the music of harpers, or minstrels, or flute players, or trumpeters be heard in you, no more will any worker, skilled in any art, be found in you; no more will the sound of a mill be heard in you;
23 Ki fidisanga yenma kan go yendi a niinni bi kan go gbadi pocaan-pamali niali a niinni kelima a kpenkpenda den tie nicianba ki tinga nni a den boandi i nibuoli kuli leni a tanbi puali.
no more will the light of a lamp shine in you; no more will the voices of groom and bride be heard in you. Your merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your magical charms.’
24 Kelima bi laa u ni nni bi sawalipuaba, bi nigagidiŋanba leni ban den kodi yaaba ki tinga po kuli ya soama.
Yes, and in her was to be found the blood of the prophets and of Christ’s people, and of all who have been put to death on the earth.
