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 sign 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 pregnant, cried out in travail, and in pangs, 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 sign in heaven; and, behold! a great fiery dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven crowns.
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 down a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that when she was delivered he might devour her child.
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 masculine son, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and he child was suddenly taken up to God, even 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 had a place prepared by God, that she might there be nourished one thousand two hundred and sixty 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 made war against the dragon; and the dragon made war, and his angels:
8 Kasi dalagona elongaki te; boye dalagona yango elongo na ba-anjelu na yango ebungisaki esika na yango kuna na likolo.
nevertheless, they did not prevail, neither was place found for them 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 thus the great dragon was cast out; even the old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the world, was cast out to 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 great voice saying, in heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast out, who 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 have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to 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 you heavens, and you who inhabit them. But woe to those who inhabit the earth and the sea; for the devil is come down to 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 out on the earth, he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the masculine 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 there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, to 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 threw out of his mouth water, like a river, after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream:
16 Kasi mabele esungaki mwasi, efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki ebale oyo dalagona esanzaki wuta na monoko na yango.
and the earth opened its mouth, and drank up the flood which the dragon threw 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 enraged against the woman, and went away to make war against the remainder of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and retain the testimony of Jesus Christ.
