Insinulo 17
1 Limwina iñiloi ku a kwana iyanza ni lyonke libakwete tuhambwe tukwana iyanza ni tobele imi nikuti kwangu, “Wize, Kani kutondenze kunyanseha kwa musangu mukando yo wikele ha menzi mangi.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show yoʋ the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters.
2 Njikwali uko ba busi be inkanda ba bapangi busangu. Nji waine ya kwe ya busangu kuti bantu be inkanda bakolwa.”
With her the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and those who dwell on the earth have become drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 Linu iñiloi chilya ni hinda Muluhuho kwi halaupa, imi chinabona mwanakazi wikele ha chibatana chisubila chibe zwile mazina abulyansi. Chibatana chibena mitwi ikwana iyanza ni wonke ni maziya akwana ikumi.
So he carried me away in the Spirit to a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, the one that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
4 Mwanakizi aba zwete mwa pepulu ni kusubila aba kabiswe nigauda, mabwe asepahala, ni bulungu. Aba kwete mwiyanza lyakwe inkomoki yegauda izwile zintu zisazuweki sinte ni kusajolola kwa busangu bwakwe.
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filth of the fornication of the earth.
5 He impata yakwe haba ñoletwe izina lina intoloko ye inkunutu: “Babilona mukando, nyina wa busangu ni zintu zisazuweki za hansi.”
A mysterious name was written on her forehead: “Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth.”
6 China bona kuti mwanakazi aba koletwe cha malaha aba zumine imi ni malaha abo ba basukulukili Jesu. Hani mubona, nibakomokwa kukando.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly amazed.
7 Kono iñiloi chilyati kwatu, “Chinzi hokomokwa? Kani kutolekele intaluso ya mwanakazi ni chibatana chi muhindite, chibatana china mitwi ikwana iyaza ni yobele ni maziya e ikumi.
But the angel said to me, “Why are yoʋ so amazed? I will tell yoʋ the mystery of the woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
8 Chibatana cho baboni ku chibali kwina, hanu kachikwina, kono chihafuhi nikwiza kuzwililila mwilindi lisena manimani. Linu ka chizwile habusu ni kusinya. Abo bahala hansi, nabo mazina abo kana aba ñolwa Mwimbuka ya Buhalo kuzwa matangilo e inkanda-kabakomokwe chiba bona chibatana chibali kwinako, ka chikwina hanu, kono chi china hafuhi ni kwiza. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that yoʋ saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth, everyone whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be amazed when they see that the beast was and is not and will be back. (Abyssos g12)
9 Iyi i sumpa munahano wina butali. Mitwi ikwana iyanza lyonke ni yobele ziwulu zikwana iyanza nizobele hekele mwanaki.
This calls for a mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10 Kwina hape ba babusi bakwana iyanza ni bobele. Ba busi bakwana iyanza ba bawi, yenke kwena, imi zumwi keni kwiza; chinasika, uwola kushala bulyo inako zana.
They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and another has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.
11 Chibatana chi balikwina kwateni, kono ka chikwina hanu, nacho bulyo chibusi chikwana iyanza ni zotatwe, kono nachocha zimwi zibusi zikwana iyanza ni zobele, imi chikaya ku kusinyeha.
The beast that was and is not, is an eighth king. Yet he is one of the seven and is on his way to destruction.
12 Maziya akwana ikumi obani ba busi baseni kutambula mubuso, kono ka batambule buyendisi cha bu busi che inhola hamwina ni chibatana.
The ten horns that yoʋ saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
13 Izi zina muzezo wonke, imi zitambika kukola ni buyendisi kuchibatana.
These kings have one mind and will give their power and authority to the beast.
14 Kaba buse inkondo kulwisanisa Ingu, kono Ingu kazikome kakuti njiye Simwine uba simwine ni Mubusi wa babusi-imi iye wina niba sumpitwe, baketetwe, ni basepahala.”
They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them because he is the Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 Iñiloi chilyati kwangu, Menzi obaboni, aho hekele ihule, bantu, inkunga, inkanda, ni mishobo.
Then the angel said to me, “The waters yoʋ saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.
16 Maziya ene ikumi oba boni-izo ni chibatana kazi holofaze ihule, kazi mushubule ni mapunu, kaba sinye inyama yakwe, kaba muhise ni kumanisiliza cha mulilo.
The beast and the ten horns yoʋ saw will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17 Kakuti Ireeza aba zibiki muinkulo zabo kuhinda mulelo wakwe cha kuzuminzana kuha ziho kuchibatana kuti manzwi a Ireeza ezuzilizwe.
For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing their kingdom over to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled.
18 Mwanaki yoba boni nji itolopo inkando iyendisa hewulu lya babusi bahansi.”
As for the woman yoʋ saw, she is the great city that has dominion over the kings over the earth.”
