Okubikkulirwa 12
1 Ne wabaawo ekyewuunyo ekinene mu ggulu. Ne ndaba omukazi ng’ayambadde enjuba n’omwezi nga guli wansi wa bigere bye, ng’alina engule eyaliko emmunyeenye kkumi na bbiri ku mutwe gwe.
And there was a great sign in the heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
2 Yali lubuto era ng’akaaba ng’alumwa okuzaala.
and being in gestation, she also cries, travailing in pain, and suffering to bring forth.
3 Awo ne ndaba ekyewuunyo ekirala mu ggulu, era laba, ogusota ogumyufu nga gulina emitwe musanvu n’amayembe kkumi era nga ku mitwe egyo kuliko engule musanvu.
And there appeared another sign in the heaven; and behold the great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems:
4 Ku mukira gw’ogusota kwali kuwalulirwako ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu eky’emmunyeenye zonna eziri waggulu mu ggulu, ne guzisuula wansi ku nsi. Ne guyimirira mu maaso g’omukazi oyo, anaatera okuzaala nga gulindirira okulya omwana we nga yaakazaalibwa.
and his tail draws the third of the stars of the heaven, and casts them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman about to bring forth, in order that he may eat up her child when she may bring it forth.
5 Omukazi n’azaala omwana owoobulenzi eyali agenda okufuga amawanga gonna n’omuggo ogw’ekyuma, amangwago n’akwakulibwa n’atwalibwa eri Katonda ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka.
And she brought forth a male son, who is about to shepherdize all the nations with an iron rod: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
6 Omukazi n’addukira mu ddungu eyali ekifo Katonda gye yategeka okumulabirira okumala ennaku Lukumi mu bibiri mu nkaaga.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place prepared of God, that they may there nourish her a thousand and two hundred and sixty days.
7 Ne wabaawo olutalo mu ggulu. Mikayiri ne bamalayika ab’omu kibinja kye ne balwanyisa ogusota n’eggye lya bamalayika baagwo.
And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon.
8 Ogusota ne guwangulwa era ne gusindiikirizibwa okuva mu ggulu.
And the dragon and his angels fought, and they did not prevail; neither was their place found any more in the heaven.
9 Ogusota ogwo ogw’amaanyi, era gwe gusota ogw’edda oguyitibwa Setaani Omulimba, alimba ensi yonna, ne gusuulibwa wansi ku nsi n’eggye lyagwo lyonna.
And the great dragon, the old serpent, the one called the devil, and Satan, the one deceiving the whole world, was cast out: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Ne mpulira eddoboozi ery’omwanguka mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, “Kaakano obulokozi bwa Katonda, n’amaanyi ge n’obwakabaka bwa Katonda waffe awamu n’obuyinza bwa Kristo we bizze. Kubanga omuloopi eyaloopanga baganda baffe, eri Katonda waffe emisana n’ekiro, agobeddwa mu ggulu.
And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now has come salvation, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren, the one accusing them before our God day and night, is cast out.
11 Ne bamuwangula olw’omusaayi gw’Omwana gw’Endiga, n’olw’ekigambo eky’obujulirwa bwabwe, ne bawaayo obulamu bwabwe nga tebatya na kufa.
And they conquered him through the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony; and with divine love they love not their life unto death.
12 Noolwekyo ssanyuka ggwe eggulu, nammwe abalituulamu musanyuke. Naye mmwe ensi n’ennyanja zibasanze, kubanga Setaani asse gye muli ng’alina obusungu bungi, ng’amanyi nti asigazza akaseera katono.”
Therefore rejoice, O ye heavens, and those dwelling in them; woe unto the earth and the sea! because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.
13 Awo ogusota bwe gwalaba nga gusuuliddwa ku nsi ne guyigganya omukazi eyazaala omwana owoobulenzi.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the male child.
14 Naye omukazi n’aweebwa ebiwaawaatiro bibiri ebinene ng’eby’empungu okubuuka agende mu ddungu mu kifo ekyamuteekerwateekerwa, gy’alabiririrwa era gy’akuumibwa, ogusota ne gutamukola kabi okumala ekiseera n’ekitundu ky’ekiseera.
And the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly away into the wilderness, into her own place, where she is there nourished a time, and times, and a half time, from the face of the serpent.
15 Ogusota ne guwandula amazzi mangi okuva mu kamwa kaagwo ne ganjaala ne gafuuka omugga nga galaga omukazi gye yali, nga gafuba okumuzikiriza.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16 Naye ettaka ne liyamba omukazi bwe lyayasama ne limira omugga ogwo ogwayanjaala.
And the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened her mouth, and drank up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 Awo ogusota, nga gwonna gujjudde obusungu bungi, ne gugenda okulumba abaana b’omukazi abalala, abo bonna abaali bakwata amateeka ga Katonda era nga bajulira Yesu.
And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.
