Ufunuo 18
1 Naakeile imaintu aya nikamuona malaika numuya ukusima pihe kupuma kilunde. Nuunso aukete uhumi ukulu, nuhe aiemelikilwe nuukulu wakwe.
And after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was enlightened with his glory.
2 Wikalela kululi nulukulu, wikalunga, “Wagwiza, kagwiza, ikesale iko nekikulu Ibabeli! Aina kianza kakikie iahing'wi, hange pang'wanso kila enkolo nimbe ikie, nipang'wanso yaina kila ushapu ninyunyi niyeleta uube.
And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird:
3 Kunsoko emahe ehi ang'weza imagai nansula aukosi wakwe nuemuletela ikuo. Eatemi ehi agoolya nung'wenso.
Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies.
4 Hange nikija ululi langeza kupuma milunde ikalunga, hegi kug'wanso antu ane, insoko muleke kihangwela mumilandu akwe, ninsoko mulekusingiilya emapigo akwe ehi.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
5 Imelandu akwe ilundie migulya anga kilunde, ni Tunda wakimbuka imelandu akwe nemebe.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Mulepi anga naulepile niang'wi, hange mumulepe kabeele anga naewitumile, mukekombe naukihalekanilye, kuhalinkanya hange kabeele kunsoko akwe.
Render to her as she also hath rendered to you; and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup wherein she hath mingled, mingle ye double unto her.
7 Anga naiwikuiye nuanso ung'wenso hange aiwikae muusambo, mupi inzago niyendu nuukia kunsoko witunga munkolo akwe. Nikie anga umalaeka hange singamushelwa, hange singakuona uhongelya.
As much as she hath glorified herself, and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her; because she saith in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow; and sorrow I shall not see.
8 Kuite gwa muluhiku lung'wi imapigo akwe akumulemelya, ninzala. Ukulimansiligwa kumoto, kunsoko amukulu Itunda ukete ingulu, hange mulamuli wakwe.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be burnt with the fire; because God is strong, who shall judge her.
9 Eatemi amihe naeagooye nukihangwila palung'wi nuyo akulila nukuhongeelya niikaluona ulyoki lakuzigila kung'wakwe.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived in delicacies with her, shall weep, and bewail themselves over her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning:
10 Akimeka kule nuyo, kuwoa wauwai wakwe azekengaukia, ukia wakisale nikikulu, Babeli, kesale nekete ingulu! Kusaa eng'wi ulamuli wako wazaa.
Standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying: Alas! alas! that great city Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 Asuluja amihe ehi nukuhongelya kunsoko akwe, kunso kutile nung'wi nukugula insao yakwe hange.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep, and mourn over her: for no man shall buy their merchandise any more.
12 Insao yazahabu, mpia magwe ansailo, lulu, kitani ninza, zambalao, halili, nkauku, aina yehi niyamakota nauwinki nuuza, kila keseme nikampembe andovu, kila kiseme nikeze pigwe kikota niza, shaba, shuma, igwe.
Merchandise of gold and silver, and precious stones; and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner of vessels of ivory, and all manner of vessels of precious stone, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble,
13 Mdalasini, iungo, uvumba, manemane, ubani, mvinyo, makuta, utu nuuza, ngano, ng'ombe ninkolo, farasi nimagale, niatungwa, ninkolo yaantu.
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 Inkani nauikete insula kungulu yako ahega kupuma kuwang'wako. Usambo wako wehi nuukengo wahega, shangaukigela kwe.
And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee, and all fat and goodly things are perished from thee, and they shall find them no more at all.
15 Iasuluja amaintu aya aealigilye uugole naauloilwe nuanso ukimeka kule kupuma kung'waakwe kunsoko awoa wauwai wakwe, akulela kululi lakuhongeelya.
The merchants of these things, who were made rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of her torments, weeping and mourning.
16 Akulunga, “Ukia, ukia uo nuukulu nuukumbilwe kitani ninza, zambalao, niye ninkauku, nukulembwa kuzahabu, nukumaintu nansao nilulu.”
And saying: Alas! alas! that great city, which was clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and was gilt with gold, and precious stones, and pearls.
17 Musaa ing'wi ugole wehi nuanso wikahega. Kila nahoza nuameli, kukila bahali, hange ehi niamumaze, hange ehi neituma milimo mubahali.
For in one hour are so great riches come to nought; and every shipmaster, and all that sail into the lake, and mariners, and as many as work in the sea, stood afar off.
18 Aealeile naeaine ulyoki nulakuzigilya kungwakwe, ezelunga, “Kisaleki nikipya nikisale eki nekikulu?”
And cried, seeing the place of her burning, saying: What city is like to this great city?
19 Ikaguma ulunkunde mumatwe ao, hangi ekalila “ekahung'wa nuliholi nukuhongelya,” Ukia, ukia kisale kikulu kianza kehi, aeakete meli mubahali aeagole nsoko ameli akwe. Kusaa ing'wi ekalimansiligwa.
And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices: for in one hour she is made desolate.
20 Lowi migulya akwe, ilunde, unye ahueli itumineanyakidagu, kundogoelyo Itunda waleta ulamuli wanyu migulya akwe.
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
21 Umalaeka nuangulu auhumbue igwe anga igwe nikulu nilakusela auligumile mubahali, wikalunga, “kunzila eye, Babeli uyu numukulu, ukugung'wa pihe kulogoha hangi shangaukigela kwee.
And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 Luli lainanda, niakui, iginsi apelembe, nitalumbeta shaa kusiga hangi kitalanyu. Ang'wi umumanyi wehi shangaukigela kitalanyu. Ang'wi ululi lutule shangalukijeka hange kitalanyu.
And the voice of harpers, and of musicians, and of them that play on the pipe, and on the trumpet, shall no more be heard at all in thee; and no craftsman of any art whatsoever shall be found any more at all in thee; and the sound of the mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 Uwelu wa ntala shaukumileka mukate akwe. Loli lang'wa Bwana numugoha bibi numusungu niawinga shayukigigwa hangi mukole nako, indogoelyo asuluja ako aeakulu ihe, hange amaha, akongewe kuulogi.
And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for all nations have been deceived by thy enchantments.
24 Mukate akwe sakami waanyakidagu niakueli aigee nusakami nuaihe naeabulagilwe migulya nihe.
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
