< Insinulo 12 >
1 I mboniso inkando i ba boneki mwi wulu: mwanakazi yaba zwete izuba, mi ni mwezi mukunsi kama tende akwe, ni mushukwe we nkani zekumi nitotwatwe hamutwi wakwe.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 Abe minsi, mi abali kulila chokuhuwa muku sasama kwa ku puluha, mubutuku bukando bwa kupuluha.
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 Linu imwi imboniso i baboneki mwi wulu: bone, kubena i dilagoni inkando isubila iba kwina mitwi ye yanza ni tobele ni maziya e kumi, mi kubakwina mishukwe ina iyanza ni to bele hamitwi wayo.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 muchila wayo uba fiyeli zikiti zo tatwe ze nkani mwi wulu ni kuzi kwitila hansi. I dilagoni chiya zimana habusi bwa mwanakazi yaba kwina ha fuhi ni kupuluha, nji kuti cha puluha, i yo ilye mwana.
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as he was born.
5 Cha puluha mulombwana, mwana muswisu, yete ayendise chisi chonse ni nkoli ye nsimpi. mwanakwe aba zwabulwa ni kutwalwa kwa Ireeza ku lubona lwakwe,
And she brought forth a son, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
6 mi mwanakazi cha tilila mwi halaupa, uko Ireeza aba mubakanyizi chibaka chakwe, njo kuti aka silelezwe muma zuba alikana lule ni myanda yo bele ni makumi eyanza ni kamwina
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 Linu hanu kubena inkondo mwi wulu. Maikulu ni mangeloi akwe chi balwaa ni dilagoni; mi i dalagoni ni mangeloi ayo chi zalwa nabo cha kubozekeza.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 Kono i dalagoni ka hena iba kolete ahulu kuti i kome. Nji kuti kana kubasina chibaka mwi wulu cha yo ni mangeloi ayo.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 I dalagoni ikando — i nzoka ya kale i sumpwa diabulusi kapa Satani, yo chengelela inkanda yonse— aba sohelwa hansi mwi nkanda, ni mangeloi akwe aba sohelelwa hamwina naye hansi.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out upon the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Kuzwa aho china zuwa muhuwo mukando mwi wulu: “Linu chikwa sika kusungununwa, ziho, mubuso wa Ireeza wetu, ni buyendisi bwa Krisite wakwe. Mukuti iye munyansi wa ba kwetu aba sohelwa hansi, iye yaba banyansi habusu bwa Ireeza wetu musihali ni masiku.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.
11 Baba muwoli cha malaha e mbelele mi ni che inzwi lya bupaki bwabo, mukuti kahena baba saki buhalo bwabo mane kubambanywa ni ifu.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death.
12 Kuzwaho, musange, inwe maulu, nabo bonse ba hala mwateni. Kono bumai kwi nkanda mi nikwi wate kakuli daiabulusi aba sezumukili hansi kwenu. Wizwile ni bukali bu tiiza, kakuti wizi kuti wina bulyo inako zana.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 Kuzwa i dilagoni ha lizela kuti liba sohelwa hansi he nkanda, cha hindikisa mwanakazi yaba puluhi mwana wa mwanaswisu.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the son.
14 Kono mwanakazi aba helwe mabando o bele a kolete e mbande, njo kuti awole ku tilila kuchibaka cha lukisezwe mwi halaupa. Ichi nji chibaka uko kwa ba kuswanela ku babalelelwa, mwi nako zana, inako zingi, mi ninako infwihi- kuzwa mumenso e nzoka.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 I nzoka nciyetila menzi azwa mukaholo kayo ubu lwizi, kuti ipange muunda uwola ku tanyela mwanakazi kumutwala kule.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
16 Kono inkanda chiya tusa mwanakazi. Inkanda chi ye yalula kaholo ni ku mina lwizi ulo i dilagoni liba yubula kuzwa mukaholo kalyo.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 kuzwa aho idilagoni ncilya nyelelwa mwanakazi mi chilya zwa hateni ni kuka leta inkondo ku luhasi lwakwe, kwabana be chilila intaelo za Ireeza mi niku kwatilila ku bupaki bwa Jesu.
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
