Mi Dɔgdima 13
1 Ku bonfuodcincilingu den sedi ku tanbiingu nni, mi ñincianma jaali po. N go den la ke yanga ñani mi ñincianma nni. ki den pia yina piiga yeni yula lele. O yina po den pia mu badfeglimu, ke o yuli kuli po bi diani ya yeli n fanbidi, ki sugdi U Tienu.
And he took up a position upon the sands of the sea-shore. Then I saw a Wild Beast coming up out of the sea, and he had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten kingly crowns, and inscribed on his heads were names full of blasphemy.
2 Min den la ya yanga den tie nani naamunpieno yeni. Ki taana den tie nani a bonpiena n yii ya yangbengli wursi taana yeni, ke ki ñɔbu naani yangbanñɔbu. Ku bonfuodcincilingu den puni ga ku paalu ku badigbandi yeni ku fidu ke gan diedi bonli kuli.
The Wild Beast which I saw resembled a leopard, and had feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and it was to the Dragon that he owed his power and his throne and his wide dominion.
3 Ki yanga yuyenli den naani ke bi den kpa ga, ama ki kuuma yiagu yeni den gbeni, ke ki paagi. Li bonli den yaalidi ŋanduna yaaba, ke bi ŋɔdi ga.
I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded; but his mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed him.
4 Bi go den pugi ku bonfuodcincilingu, kelima ku den puni ki yanga yeni ku fidu. Bi den pugi ki yanga mo, ki maadi yognu kuli, “ŋma tie nani ki yanga ne yeni?” bii “ŋma ba fidi ki mɔa yeni ga?”
And they offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, "Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle with him?"
5 Bi den teni ki yanga ya ñɔbu n maadi mi japaamaama, ki sugdi U Tienu. Ki den baa u sanu ki ba bili o yema hali piina n ŋmaali lie (ŋm 42).
And there was given him a mouth full of boastful and blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him for forty-two months.
6 Lanwani ii, ki yanga den yi yaadi o ñɔbu, ki maadi ki sugdi U Tienu: ki fanbdi O yeli, Wan ye naani, ki sugdi yaaba n ye U Tienu diema nni.
And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemies against God, to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place--that is to say, of those who dwell in Heaven.
7 Bi den puni ki yanga u sanu ke gan pua bu tɔbu yeni U Tienu dugkaaba, ki paadi ba. Bi go den puni ga u paalu ke gan diedi i nibuoli, diema, i maabuoli yeni i dogi kuli.
And permission was given him to make war upon God's people and conquer them; and power was given him over every tribe, people, language and nation.
8 Yua n den ye ki tinga po kuli ba gbaani ki pugi ga, yua ke o yeli den ki diani li miali tili nni, ki pebiga, ban den kodi yaaga hali ban den taga ŋanduna ya yogu ya tili.
And all the inhabitants of the earth will be found to be worshipping him: every one whose name is not recorded in the Book of Life--the Book of the Lamb who has been offered in sacrifice ever since the creation of the world.
9 Yua n pia tubli kuli, wan cengi.
Let all who have ears give heed.
10 Yua n tagi ke ban cuo o ti yonbdi, o ba gedi ti yonbdi. Yua n tagi ke ban kpa o yeni ki jugsiegs mo, bi ba kpa o yeni ki jugsiega. Ne tie kpaandi bi nigagdiŋanba po, ke ban tieni li juunli, ki kɔni yeni mi jama ti dudugdi nni.
If any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.
11 N den la yantianga, ke ki ñani ki tinga nni. Ki den pia yina lie nani pebiga yeni, ki maadi nani ku bonfuodcincilingu yeni.
Then I saw another Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
12 Ki den bili ki go kubi ki yankpiaga yema, ke ki dá ye, ki cedi ke ki tinga yeni yaaba n ye kipo kuli gbaandi ki pugi ki yankpiaga yaaga ya yiagu n den gbeni, ke ki baa laafia yeni.
And the authority of the first Wild Beast--the whole of that authority--he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild Beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13 Ki den tiendi yaalidgu tuona boncianla. ki den cedi hali ke u mu ñani tanpoli ki jiidi ki tinga po asala siiga.
He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
14 Yaaba n den ye ki tinga po den nua gan tiendi yaali i, ke ki tulni ba. Ki den yedi ba ke ban tagi ya yanga n pia ku yiagu ki nan tindi yeni nannanli.
And his power of leading astray the inhabitants of the earth is due to the marvels which he has been permitted to work in the presence of the Wild Beast. And he told the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the Wild Beast who had received the sword-stroke and yet had recovered.
15 Ki den baa u sanu ki ba kuani mi fuoma li nannanli yeni nni, lan ya maadi, hali ki cedi ban kpa yaaba n yie ke bi kan gbaaniki pugi ki yanga.
And power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be put to death.
16 Ki go den mabni yuakuli, bi paatieba yeni talginba kuli, bi ŋalmandanba yeni a luoda kuli, yaaba n yeni bi yudandi yeni i yonbi kuli, ke ban tieni bi nuujienu bii bi yutuna po ki yanga maalma.
And he causes all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
17 Yua n den ki pia ki yanga maalma kuli, o den kan fidi ki kuadi bii ki daa bonli. Li maalma den tie cɔli lanba i, ki tie ki yanga yeni yeli.
in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark--either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.
18 Li buali mi yanfuoma. Yua n pia li banma kuli, wan tieni li cɔli, ki bandi ki yanga yeni yeli cɔli. Kelima li tie nisaalo cɔli lanba i, lani n tie 666.
Here is scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666.
