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,
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgement of the great prostitute who sits on 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 sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
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.
He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-coloured beast, full of blasphemous names, 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.
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.
5 Panani pa lipaji lya pamihu pa siri: “BABELI MBAHA, MABHU GHWA MAKAHABA NI GHWA MADADISILU GHA NCHI.”
And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES 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.
I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
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).
The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has 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 you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present. (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 that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10 Nabhu kabhele ndo bhafalme saba. Bhafalme bhahanu bhabinili, mmonga ajhele, ni jhongi ahidilipi, akona; pa ibetakuhida, ibetakutama kwa muda mfupi tu.
They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, 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.
The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
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.
The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who 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 to 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 will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 Malaika akan'jobhela, “Masighala gha ughabhwene, pala paatamili jhola kahaba ndo bhanu, makutano, mataifa ni lugha.
He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
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.
The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will 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 has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to 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.”
The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
