Ufunuo 18
1 Naakeile imaintu aya nikamuona malaika numuya ukusima pihe kupuma kilunde. Nuunso aukete uhumi ukulu, nuhe aiemelikilwe nuukulu wakwe.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated 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.
He shouted with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean and detestable beast.
3 Kunsoko emahe ehi ang'weza imagai nansula aukosi wakwe nuemuletela ikuo. Eatemi ehi agoolya nung'wenso.
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."
4 Hange nikija ululi langeza kupuma milunde ikalunga, hegi kug'wanso antu ane, insoko muleke kihangwela mumilandu akwe, ninsoko mulekusingiilya emapigo akwe ehi.
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 Imelandu akwe ilundie migulya anga kilunde, ni Tunda wakimbuka imelandu akwe nemebe.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Mulepi anga naulepile niang'wi, hange mumulepe kabeele anga naewitumile, mukekombe naukihalekanilye, kuhalinkanya hange kabeele kunsoko akwe.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
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.
However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'
8 Kuite gwa muluhiku lung'wi imapigo akwe akumulemelya, ninzala. Ukulimansiligwa kumoto, kunsoko amukulu Itunda ukete ingulu, hange mulamuli wakwe.
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Eatemi amihe naeagooye nukihangwila palung'wi nuyo akulila nukuhongeelya niikaluona ulyoki lakuzigila kung'wakwe.
The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at 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 far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city. For your judgment has come in one hour.'
11 Asuluja amihe ehi nukuhongelya kunsoko akwe, kunso kutile nung'wi nukugula insao yakwe hange.
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys 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, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of bronze, and iron, and marble;
13 Mdalasini, iungo, uvumba, manemane, ubani, mvinyo, makuta, utu nuuza, ngano, ng'ombe ninkolo, farasi nimagale, niatungwa, ninkolo yaantu.
and cinnamon, spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves and human lives.
14 Inkani nauikete insula kungulu yako ahega kupuma kuwang'wako. Usambo wako wehi nuukengo wahega, shangaukigela kwe.
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were luxury and splendor have perished from you, and you will never ever find them again.
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 by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
16 Akulunga, “Ukia, ukia uo nuukulu nuukumbilwe kitani ninza, zambalao, niye ninkauku, nukulembwa kuzahabu, nukumaintu nansao nilulu.”
saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked 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 an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 Aealeile naeaine ulyoki nulakuzigilya kungwakwe, ezelunga, “Kisaleki nikipya nikisale eki nekikulu?”
and exclaimed as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the 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.
They cast dust on their heads, and shouting, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth.' For in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Lowi migulya akwe, ilunde, unye ahueli itumineanyakidagu, kundogoelyo Itunda waleta ulamuli wanyu migulya akwe.
"Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has 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.
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will 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.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
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.
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the great ones of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 Mukate akwe sakami waanyakidagu niakueli aigee nusakami nuaihe naeabulagilwe migulya nihe.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
