Okubikkulirwa 13
1 Ne guyimirira ku lubalama lw’ennyanja. Awo ne ndaba ekisolo ekikambwe nga kiva mu nnyanja, nga kirina emitwe musanvu n’amayembe kkumi era nga kirina engule kkumi ku mayembe gaakyo, era ku buli mutwe nga kuwandiikiddwako amannya agavvoola Katonda.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 Ekisolo ekyo kye nalaba kyali kifaanana ng’engo naye ng’ebigere byakyo biri ng’eby’eddubu, kyokka ng’akamwa kaakyo kali ng’ak’empologoma. Ogusota ne guwa ekisolo ekyo amaanyi gaagwo awamu n’entebe yaakyo ey’obufuzi era n’obuyinza bungi.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 Awo ogumu ku mitwe gyagwo gwali gufumitiddwa nga gufunye ekiwundu ekyali kigenda okugutta, naye ekiwundu ekyali kigenda okugutta ne kiwona. Ensi yonna ne yeewuunya era abantu ne bagoberera ekisolo ekyo.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 Ne basinza ogusota olw’okuwa ekisolo ekikambwe obuyinza obwenkaniddaawo, era n’ekisolo ne bakisinza, nga bagamba nti, “Ani akisinga amaanyi era ani ayinza okulwana nakyo?”
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 Awo ekisolo ne kikkirizibwa okwogera ebintu eby’okwegulumiza n’eby’obuvvoozi era ne kiweebwa n’obuyinza okumala emyezi amakumi ana mu ebiri.
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.
6 Ekisolo ne kitandika okuvvoola Katonda n’obutayogera birungi ku linnya lye, ne ku kifo kye mw’abeera, ne kivuma n’abo ababeera mu ggulu.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 Ne kiweebwa obuyinza okulwanyisa abatukuvu n’okubawangula era n’okufuga buli kika, na buli ggwanga, na buli lulimi, na buli nsi.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 Era abantu bonna abaaliwo okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi, abatawandiikiddwa mu kitabo eky’Obulamu eky’Omwana gw’Endiga eyattibwa balisinza ekisolo ekyo.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 Alina amatu awulire.
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 Buli ow’okutwalibwa mu busibe wa kusiba. Era buli ow’okuttibwa n’ekitala, wa kuttibwa na kitala. Kubanga awo okugumiikiriza n’okukkiriza kw’abatukuvu we kutegeererwa.
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 Awo ne ndyoka ndaba ekisolo ekikambwe ekirala nga kiva mu ttaka, nga kirina amayembe abiri agali ng’ag’akaliga akato naye ng’eddoboozi lyakyo liri ng’ery’ogusota.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 Ekisolo ekyo ne kikozesa obuyinza obwa kiri ekyasooka ekyalina ekiwundu ekyawonyezebwa era ekyasinzibwa ensi yonna.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 Ne kikola ebyamagero ebyewuunyisa, gamba ng’okuwandula ennimi ez’omuliro ku nsi nga ziva mu bbanga nga buli omu alaba.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 Olw’okuweebwa obuyinza okukola ebyamagero ebyo mu linnya ly’ekisolo kiri ekyasooka, abantu bangi baalimbibwalimbibwa. Ekisolo ekyo ne kiragira abantu ab’oku nsi okukola ekifaananyi eky’ekisolo kiri ekyasooka ekyalina ekiwundu eky’ekitala ekyawona.
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 Ekisolo ekyo ne kiweebwa okufuuwa omukka ogw’obulamu mu kifaananyi ky’ekisolo ekyo kyogere, era ekifaananyi ekyo ne kittisa abantu bangi abaagaana okukisinza.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 Awo ekisolo ne kiragira bonna, abakulu n’abato, abagagga n’abaavu, ab’eddembe n’abaddu, bateekebweko akabonero ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba mu kyenyi,
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 nga tewali n’omu akkirizibwa okugula oba okutunda ekintu kyonna, nga talina kabonero ak’erinnya ly’ekisolo ekyo oba ennamba yaakyo.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Ekyo kyetaaga amagezi: abo abasobola okutegeera amakulu g’omuwendo guno babale ennamba eri ku kisolo kubanga gwe muwendo gw’omuntu. Omuwendo ogwo guli lukaaga mu nkaaga mu mukaaga.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.
