Ru’uya ta Yohanna 17
1 Ɗaya daga cikin mala’iku bakwai masu ɗauke da kwanoni bakwai nan, ya zo ya ce mini, “Zo, zan nuna maka hukuncin babbar karuwan nan da take zaune a bisan ruwaye masu yawa.
Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls came and spoke to me. ‘Come here,’ he said, ‘and I will show you the sentence passed upon that Great Harlot who is seated at the meeting of many waters,
2 Da ita ce sarakunan duniya suka yi zina mazaunan duniya kuma suka bugu da ruwan inabin zinace zinacenta.”
and with whom all the kings of the earth have had licentious intercourse; while all who live upon the earth have been make drunk by the wine of her licentiousness.’
3 Sa’an nan mala’ikan ya ɗauke ni cikin Ruhu zuwa hamada. A can na ga mace zaune a kan wata jan dabbar da aka rufe da sunayen saɓo tana kuma da kawuna bakwai da ƙahoni goma.
And he bore me away in a trance to a lonely place, and I saw a woman seated upon a scarlet Beast, which was covered with blasphemous names; it had seven heads and ten horns.
4 Macen tana saye da tufafi masu ruwan ja da shunayya, tana ƙyalli da zinariya, duwatsu masu daraja da kuma lu’ulu’ai. Tana riƙe da kwaf na zinariya a hannunta, cike da abubuwa masu banƙyama da kuma ƙazantar zinace zinacenta.
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold ornaments, precious stones, and pearls. In her hand she held a gold cup, full of idolatrous abominations, and the unclean fruits of her licentiousness;
5 Sunan da aka rubuta a goshinta asiri ne, Babilon mai girma mahaifiyar karuwai da kuma na abubuwa masu banƙyama na duniya.
while on her forehead there was written this mystic name — ‘BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF ALL IDOLATROUS ABOMINATIONS UPON EARTH.’
6 Na ga cewa macen ta bugu da jinin tsarkaka, jinin waɗanda suka shaida Yesu. Da na gan ta, sai na yi mamaki ƙwarai.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of Christ’s People and with the blood of the martyrs for Jesus. When I saw her, I was amazed beyond measure;
7 Sa’an nan mala’ikan ya ce mini, “Don me kake mamaki? Zan bayyana maka asirin macen nan da dabbar da take hawa, wadda take da kawuna bakwai da ƙahoni goma.
but the angel said to me — ‘Why were you amazed? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the vision of this woman, and of the Beast, with the seven heads and ten horns, that carries her.
8 Dabbar da ka gani, a dā ta taɓa kasancewa, a yanzu, ba ta, za tă kuma fito daga Abis zuwa ga hallakarta. Mazaunan duniya waɗanda ba a rubuta sunayensu a littafin rai tun kafin halittar duniya ba za su yi mamaki sa’ad da suka ga dabbar, domin a dā ta taɓa kasancewa, yanzu kuwa ba ta, duk da haka za tă dawo. (Abyssos g12)
The Beast that you saw was, but is not, and is about to rise out of the bottomless pit, and is on its way to destruction. Those who are living on earth will be amazed — those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world — when they see that the Beast was, but is not, and yet will come.’ (Abyssos g12)
9 “Wannan yana bukata hankali da kuma hikima. Kawuna bakwai nan tuddai bakwai ne da macen take zama a kai.
(Here there is need for the discerning mind.) The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman is seated.
10 Sarakuna bakwai ne kuma. Biyar sun fāɗi, ɗaya yana nan, ɗayan kuma bai zo ba tukuna; amma sa’ad da ya zo, zai kasance na ɗan lokaci.
They are also seven kings; of whom five have fallen and one remains, while one is not yet come. When he comes, he must stay for a little while.
11 Dabbar da a dā ta taɓa kasancewa, amma yanzu ba ta, ita ce sarki na takwas. Ita ɗaya ce cikin bakwai ɗin, kuma tana tafiya zuwa ga hallakarta.
So must the Beast that was, but is not. He counts as an eighth king, although he is one of the seven, and is on his way to destruction.
12 “Ƙahonin nan goma da ka gani sarakuna goma ne da ba su riga sun karɓi mulki ba, amma waɗanda na sa’a guda za su karɓi iko a matsayin sarakuna tare da dabbar.
The ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms, but for an hour they receive the authority of kings, together with the Beast.
13 Suna da manufa guda za su kuma ba wa dabbar ikonsu da kuma sarautarsu.
These kings are of one mind in surrendering their power and authority to the Beast.
14 Za su yi yaƙi da Ɗan Ragon, sai dai Ɗan Ragon zai ci nasara a bisansu domin shi ne Ubangijin iyayengiji, Sarkin sarakuna, tare da shi kuwa kirayayunsa, zaɓaɓɓunsa da kuma amintattu masu binsa za su kasance.”
They will fight with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; so, too, will those with him who have received the Call and are chosen and faithful.
15 Sa’an nan mala’ikan ya ce mini, “Ruwayen da ka gani, inda karuwan take zama, jama’a ce, taro masu yawa, al’ummai da kuma harsuna.
And the angel said to me — ‘The waters that you saw, where the Harlot is seated, are throngs of people and men of all nations and languages.
16 Dabbar da kuma ƙahoni goma da ka gani za su ƙi jinin karuwar. Za su kai ta ga hallaka su kuma bar ta tsirara; za su ci namanta su kuma ƙone ta da wuta.
The ten horns that you saw, and the Beast — they will hate the Harlot, and cause her to become deserted and strip her bare; they will eat her very flesh and utterly consume her with fire.
17 Gama Allah ya sa a zukatansu su cika nufinsa ta wurin yarda su ba wa dabbar ikonsu tă yi mulki, sai lokacin da kalmomin Allah sun cika.
For God has put it into their minds to carry out his purpose, in carrying out their common purpose and surrendering their kingdoms to the Beast, until God’s decrees shall be executed.
18 Macen da ka gani ita ce babban birnin da yake mulki a bisan sarakunan duniya.”
As for the woman whom you saw, she is the great city that holds sway over all the kings of the earth.’
