Ufunuo 13

1 Izoka lekimeka hange migulya amehanganga muluguo la bahali. Hange nekaona kekale kekapuma mubahali. Aieukete mpembe ikumi nimatwe mupungate. Mumpembe yqkwe aikole ngala ikumi numitwe lakwe aeikole nkani.

Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles.

2 Eke ikakale nainukiine inge anga ihue. Emegulu akwe anga edubu, numulomo wakwe anga ihimba izoka ile lekamupa ingulu, numituntu lakwe nilautemi nuhumi nuangulu kukela nukutema.

The beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were bear’s feet, and his mouth a lion’s mouth. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

3 Itwe lakekale king'wi kao iekigeeleka kutula ninkomele nkulu naizesasha inshakwe. Kuite inkomele akwe akapola, nihe ehi ikakuelwa nukukityata ikekale.

And I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth was following the beast, wondering.

4 Hangi ikalikulya izoka ndogoelyo kekapegwa uhumi ekekale eke. Ikakekulya ekekale kwe, hange ekalongoleka kulunga; nyenyu anga kekale? hange nyenyu nukikua neko?

Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast? Who can fight with him?"

5 Ikekale kekapegwa melomo ketambule inkani yakikulya nukutukila. Aeugombigwe kutula nuuhumi kumyeli makumianne nuubeele.

And he was permitted to utter loud boasts and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months.

6 Kuite ikekule kikamaha umulomo wakwe nukuligitya ituki kumutukila itunda, akaletukila elina lakwe, pang'wanso naewikie nawa neikie kilunde.

So he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle (those who live in his tabernacle in heaven).

7 Ekekale kekapegwa lyoma kituma mbita neahueli nukuahuma, hange wekapegwa uhumi kikila ekabila, antu, ntambu, nihe.

The beast was allowed to wage war upon the saints, and to conquer them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation;

8 Eehi neikie muunkumbigulu akumukulya nuanso kukela ung'weao elina lakwe nesingalandekilwe, kupuma ihe nauumbewe, mumbugulu naupanga, inge nekang'wankolo, nausensilwe.

and each one whose name has not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world. All who dwell on the earth shall worship him.

9 Angeze ukole wehi nukete ukutwe uategeelye.

Let him who has ears to hear, listen.

10 Angeze ung'weao uhoilwe utugwa, nukutugwa winzu. angeze ung'weao ukubulaga kushege, kushege kiko ukubulagwa, uwu witangwi nuaupolo hange wigigimyeeli kuawa niatakatifu.

Whoever is destined to go into captivity, goes into captivity. Whoever shall kill with the sword, shall surely be killed by the sword. (Here is the endurance and faith of the saints.)

11 Hange nikaona kekale nekiuya kepembilye kupuma mihe. Aekekete mpembe ibeele anga enkolo hange kekaligitya anga izoka.

And I saw another beast ascending from the land; and he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon;

12 Wikalageela uhumi wehi kukekale eke nekang'wandyo nuukole wakwe, nukituma mehi nawa neikie mung'wanso, kukulya ekekale nekanso nikang'wandyo, uyu nenkomeleakwa aipoile.

and he exerts the full authority of the first beast before him, and he makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast whose death-stroke was healed.

13 Wikituma makula du, sunga wikautenda umoto wikasima pihe kupuma kilunde wikigela ntongeela aantu.

And he performs great miracles, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from the sky, before men’s eyes.

14 Kilengaseelyo augombigwe kituma, wikaakongela awaneikie mihe, akazeaela azipye eadudu kikulyo lakikale naekelemaigwe kuwege, kuite kekili kukikie.

And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived.

15 Aiugombigwe kupumya emihupo kung'wa dudu kekali kehume kutambula nukusasha awa ehi niahitile kukulya ekekale abulagwe.

And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death.

16 Hange wikasinja kukila ung'we ao, numugila ensailo, nuyu nuangulu, mugole numuhimbe, nuidesile numutugwa kusengeelya ugomola kumokono wakigoha ang'wi nuusu wao.

And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows,

17 Inge shangaeagombekile kuhela muntu kugulya ang'wi kugula, inge kusinja wezeukete ugomola nuanso hangi nelina lakekale nikanso ang'wi ulimeeli nualina lakwe.

so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Pang'wanso papo ukole uupolo. Nuanso nuukete eemahala, nuaelye utimeli nuakekale eke, ndogoelyo naewitumile nuakiuntu. Nuutimeli wakwe inge namba 666.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.
