1 Kisha lijhoka likajhema panani pa n'sanga mu ufukwe bhwa bahari. Kisha nikabhona mnyama ihomela mu bahari. Ajhele ni mang'eru kumi ni mitu saba. Mu mang'eru ghake kwajhele ni taji kumi, ni pa mutu pake pajhele ni malobhi gha kufuru kwa K'yara.
Now I was standing on the seashore, and I saw a Beast of prey coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems and on his heads blasphemous names.
2 Mnyama ojho jha nibwene ajhe kama s'obhi. Magolo ghake ghajhele kama dubu, ni ndomo bhwa muene bhwajhele kama simba. Lijhoka lela likampela nghofu, na pakiti kya enzi, ni mamlaka ghaghajhele ni nghofu nesu jha kutawala.
The beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth was like a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
3 Mutu ghwa mnyama mmojawapo kyabhoniki kujha ni lijeraha libhaha ambalyo ngalisababisi mauti gha muene. Lakini lijeraha lya muene lyaponili, ni dunia jhioha jhasyangesibhu ni kun'kesya mnyama.
And one of his heads was as if it had been mortally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the Beast.
4 Kabhele bhakaliabudu lijhoka, maana ampelili mamlaka jhola mnyama. Bhakamwabudu mnyama kabhele, na bhajhendelili kujobha, “Niani kama mnyama? na “Niani ibetakukomana naku?”
And they did obeisance to the dragon who had given the authority to the Beast, and they did obeisance to the Beast saying, “Who is like the Beast, and who is able to make war with him?”
5 Mnyama akapelibhwa ndomo ili alongelayi malobhi gha kwisifila ni malighu. Aruhusibhu kujha ni mamlaka kwa miesi arobaini ni mibhele.
And he was given a mouth speaking great things, that is, blasphemy; and he was given authority to make war forty-two months.
6 Hivyo mnyama adajhuili ndomo ghwa muene kulongela malighu dhidi jha K'yara, alilighili lihina lya muene, lieneo lya atameghe ni bhala bhabhitama kumbinguni.
So he opened that mouth of his in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those who dwell in Heaven.
7 Mnyama aruhusibhu kubhomba vita ni bhaamini ni kubhashinda. Kabhele, apelibhu mamlaka juu jha khila likabila, bhanu, lugha ni taifa.
And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given him over every tribe and language and ethnic nation.
8 Bhoha bhatameghe paduniani bhibetakumwabudu muene, khila mmonga ambajhe lihina lya muene lijhandiki bhulepi, kuhoma uumbaji bhwa dunia, mu kitabu kya uzima, ambakyo ndo mwanakondoo, ambajhe achinjibhu.
All who dwell on the earth will do obeisance to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slaughtered from the foundation of the world.
9 Ikajhiajhi muene ajhe ni mbol'okoto, na apelekesiajhi.
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 Ikajhele mmojawapo atolibhu mateka, ni kumateka ilota. Ikajhiajhi mmojawapo ibeta kuhoma kwa upanga, kwa upanga ibetakukomibhwa. Obho ndo mwilota bhwa utulivu ni uvumilivu ni imani kwa abhu bhabhajhele bhatakatifu.
If anyone has captivity, he goes away. If anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 Kabhele nabhwene mnyama jhongi ihida kuhoma mu nchi. Ajhele mwenye mang'eru mabhele kama likondoo na alongelili kama lijhoka.
Now I saw another beast of prey coming up out of the land, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.
12 Alasili mamlaka ghoha kwa mnyama jhola ghwa kuanza mu uwepo bhwa muene ni kukheta pa dunia ni bhala bhabhiishi kumwabudu jhola mnyama ghwa kuanza, jhola ambajhe jeraha lya muene lyaponili.
And he exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence; and he started to cause the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
13 Akabhomba miujiza jha jhijhele ni nghofu, hata akatengenesya muoto uselelayi pa dunia Kuhoma kumbinguni palongolo pa bhanu,
And he performs great signs, including that fire should come down from heaven upon the earth before the people.
14 ni kwa ishara aruhusibhu kubhomba akabhakofya abhu bhabhitama mu dunia, akabhajobhela kutengenesya sanamu kwa heshima jha mnyama ambajhe ajeruhibhu kwa upanga, lakini bado akajhaiishi.
And he deceives my own people, those dwelling on the earth, by the signs that it was given to him to perform before the Beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the sword wound and lived.
15 Aruhusibhu kupisya pumzi mu sanamu jhela jha mnyama ili sanamu jhibhwesiajhi kulongela ni kusababisya bhala bhoha bhabhabelili kumwabudu mnyama na bhakhomibhwayi.
And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast should actually speak, and should cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed.
16 Kabhele alasimisi khila mmonga jha abelikujha ni thamani ni mwenye nghofu, tajiri ni maskini, huru ni mtumwa, kupokela alama mu kibhokho Kya kuume au mu paji lya pamihu.
And he causes everyone—both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave—to receive marks on their right hand or on their foreheads,
17 Jhikajha jhibhwesekana lepi kwa kila munu kugo'lesya au kutola isi mwenye alama jha mnyama, na e'j'he ndo namba jha kuwakilisya lihina lya muene.
so that no one would be able to buy or sell who does not have the mark, the name of the Beast or the number of his name.
18 Ejhe jhilonda busara. Ikajhiajhi jhejhioha ajhe ni ufahamu, ndekayi abhwesiajhi kubhomba. Maana ndo namba jha kibinadamu. Namba jha muene ndo 666.
Here is wisdom: let the one who has understanding evaluate the number of the Beast, for it is the number of man—his number is 666.
