Emoniseli 12
1 Elembo moko ya monene emonanaki na likolo, ezalaki mwasi moko. Alataki moyi lokola elamba, sanza ezalaki na se ya matambe na ye, mpe, na moto na ye, alataki motole oyo ezalaki na minzoto zomi na mibale.
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 Azalaki na zemi mpe, lokola azalaki koyoka pasi ya kobota, azalaki koganga makasi mpo na pasi.
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 Sima na yango, elembo mosusu emonanaki na likolo, ezalaki dalagona moko ya monene mpe ya motane. Dalagona yango ezalaki na mito sambo mpe maseke zomi; mpe na mito wana sambo, moko na moko ezalaki na motole.
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 Mokila na yango ekombolaki eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya minzoto ya likolo mpe ebwakaki yango na mabele. Dalagona etelemaki liboso ya mwasi oyo azalaki koyoka pasi ya kobota mpo ete elia mwana na ye tango kaka akobotama.
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, in order to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 Nzokande, mwasi yango abotaki mwana mobali oyo akokamba bikolo nyonso na nzela ya lingenda ya ebende. Bongo mwana na ye amemamaki epai ya Nzambe mpe epai ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
And she brought forth a male child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 Mwasi yango akimaki na esobe epai wapi Nzambe abongiselaki ye ebombamelo, mpo ete asungama kuna mikolo nkoto moko na nkama mibale na tuku motoba.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 Bongo etumba ekweyaki kuna na likolo: Misheli elongo na ba-anjelu na ye babundisaki dalagona, mpe dalagona elongo na ba-anjelu na yango ebundisaki Misheli elongo na ba-anjelu na ye.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 Kasi dalagona elongaki te; boye dalagona yango elongo na ba-anjelu na yango ebungisaki esika na yango kuna na likolo.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Babwakaki dalagona monene, nyoka ya kala, oyo babengaka zabolo to Satana, oyo akosaka mokili mobimba. Ebwakamaki na mabele elongo na ba-anjelu na yango.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Bongo nayokaki, kati na Lola, mongongo moko ya makasi koloba: « Tango ya lobiko, ya nguya, ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe na biso, mpe ya nguya ya Klisto na Ye ekoki. Pamba te Mofundi ya bandeko na biso, oyo afundaka bango butu mpe moyi, liboso ya Nzambe na biso, abwakami na mokili.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now has 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, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 Kasi bango balongi ye na nzela ya makila ya Mpate, mpe na nzela ya liloba ya litatoli na bango; balingaki te bomoi na bango kino kondima ata kokufa.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word (logos) of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Yango wana, yo Lola, sepela; mpe bino bavandi ya Lola, bosepela! Kasi mawa na mokili mpe na ebale monene, pamba te Satana akiti epai na bino! Atondi na kanda, pamba te ayebi malamu ete atikali kaka na tango moke. »
Therefore rejoice, all of you heavens, and all of you that dwell in them. Woe to the citizens of the earth and of the sea! for the devil has come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
13 Tango dalagona emonaki ete ebwakami na mokili, ekomaki kolanda mwasi oyo abotaki mwana mobali.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the male child.
14 Kasi mapapu nyonso mibale ya mpongo moko ya monene epesamaki na mwasi yango mpo ete apumbwa kino na esika na ye, na esobe epai wapi asengeli kosungama, mosika ya nyoka, mpo na tango moko, mpo na batango, mpe mpo na ndambo ya tango.
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 Bongo nyoka esanzaki wuta na monoko na yango, na sima ya mwasi, mayi ebele lokola ebale, mpo ete atiola na mbonge na yango.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 Kasi mabele esungaki mwasi, efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki ebale oyo dalagona esanzaki wuta na monoko na yango.
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 Bongo dalagona esilikelaki mwasi mpe ekendeki kobundisa bana na ye mosusu, ba-oyo batosaka mibeko ya Nzambe mpe bakangamaka makasi na litatoli na bango na tina na Yesu.
And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
