Ufunuo 17
1 Mmonga ghwa malaika saba ajhele ni fitasa saba ahidili ni kunijobhela, “Hidai, nibeta kulasya hukumu jha kahaba mbaha jhaitama panani pa masi ghamehele,
And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;
2 ambajhe bhafalme bha nchi bhabhombili mambo gha uzinzi ni muene ni panani pa mvinyo bhwa uzinzi bhwa muene bhabhitama paduniani bhagalisibhu.”
with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
3 Malaika akanitola mu Roho mpaka KU nyika, na nambwene n'dala atamili panani pa mnyama n'dung'u jhaamemili mahina gha matukano. Mnyama ajhele ni mitu saba ni mang'eru kumi.
And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 N'dala afwatikibhu nghobho sya dhambarau ni sidung'u na apambibhu kwa dhahabu, maganga gha thamani, ni lulu. Ajhele akamulili mu kibhoko kya muene kikombi kya dhahabu kyakimemili fenu fya machukizo gha uchafu bhwa uasherati bhuake.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication,
5 Panani pa lipaji lya pamihu pa siri: “BABELI MBAHA, MABHU GHWA MAKAHABA NI GHWA MADADISILU GHA NCHI.”
and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 Nabhwene jha kujha n'dala ojhu ajhele angalili kwa damu jha bhaumini ni damu jha bhabhafuili kwa ndabha jha Yesu. Wakati nimbhwene, najhele ni mshangao mbaha.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.
7 Lakini malaika akan'jobhela, “Kwandajha kiki ghwishangala? Nibetakujhelekesya maana jha n'dala ni mnyama jhaan'tolili (Mnyama ojho jha ajhe ni mitu saba ni ghala mang'eru kumi).
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 Mnyama jha umbwene ajhele, ajhelepi kabhele henu, lakini ajhe tayari kukwela kuhoma mu lilende lya libelikujha ni mwishu. Kisha ibeta kujhendelela ni uharibifu. Bhala bhabhitama, panani pa nchi, bhala ambabho mahina gha bhene ghajhandikibhu lepi mu kitabu kya uzima kuhoma kubhekibhwa misingi ghwa ulimwengu - bhibeta kusyangala pabhibeta kumbona mnyama jhajhele, ajhelepi henu, lakini ajhe karibu kuhida. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, [they] whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come. (Abyssos g12)
9 Wito obho kwandabha jha luhala lwa lujhele ni hekima. Mitu saba ndo fidonda saba ambapo n'dala atamili panani pa muene.
Here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:
10 Nabhu kabhele ndo bhafalme saba. Bhafalme bhahanu bhabinili, mmonga ajhele, ni jhongi ahidilipi, akona; pa ibetakuhida, ibetakutama kwa muda mfupi tu.
and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.
11 Mnyama jha ajhele, lakini henu ajhelepi, muene kabhele ndo Mfalme ghwa nene; lakini ndo mmonga ghwa bhala bhafalme saba, na ilota mu uharibifu.
And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.
12 Ghala mang'eru kumi gha ughabhuene ndo bhafalme kumi ambabho bhapokili lepi ufalme, lakini bhibetakupokela mamlaka kama bhafalme kwa lisaa limonga pamonga ni mnyama.
And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
13 Abha bhajhe ni shauri limonga, na bhibeta kumpela nghofu sya bhene ni mamlaka mnyama jhola.
These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.
14 Bhibeta kuleta ngondo dhidi jha bhene ni mwanakondoo. Lakini mwanakondoo ibeta kubhashinda kwa ndabha ndo Bwana ghwa mabwana ni Mfalme ghwa bhafalme - ni kwa muene twakutibhu, twachagulibhu, bhaaminifu.”
These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they [also shall overcome] that are with him, called and chosen and faithful.
15 Malaika akan'jobhela, “Masighala gha ughabhwene, pala paatamili jhola kahaba ndo bhanu, makutano, mataifa ni lugha.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 Mang'eru kumi ghala gha ughabhuene-esu ni jhola mnyama bhibeta kumbomba kujha mpweke ni ngoli, bhibeta kulya mb'ele ghwa muene, ni kuukosya ni muoto.
And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.
17 Maana K'yara abhekili mioyo ghya bhene kup'enda kusudi lya muene kwa makubalianu gha kumpela mnyama nghofu sya bhene kun'tawala mpaka malobhi gha K'yara pa ghibeta kutimila.
For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
18 N'dala jhola jhaumbwene ndo mji bhola mbaha bhwawitawala panani pa bhafalme bha nchi.”
And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
