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 he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names 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 throne, 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 though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth 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, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to 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 to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority 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 for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, [even] them that dwell in the 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 there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
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 on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name hath not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world.
9 Alina amatu awulire.
If any man hath 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.
If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. 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 saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto 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 authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke 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 signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon 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 he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him 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, who hath the stroke of the sword, and lived.
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 it was given [unto him] to give breath to it, [even] to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should 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, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;
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 should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, [even] 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. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
