Okubikkulirwa 18
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne ndaba malayika omulala ng’akka okuva mu ggulu n’obuyinza obungi ennyo era ensi n’eyakaayakana olw’ekitiibwa kye yalina.
After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 N’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Babulooni ekibuga ekikulu kigudde! kigudde! Kifuuse empuku ya baddayimooni, n’ekkomera lya buli mwoyo ogutali mulongoofu, n’ekkomera erya buli nnyonyi etali nnongoofu, n’ekkomera erya buli kisolo ekitali kirongoofu, ebyakyayibwa.
And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of devils, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 Kubanga amawanga gonna gaanywa ku mwenge gw’obwenzi bwe. Bakabaka ab’omu nsi bonna baayenda naye. Era abasuubuzi ab’omu nsi yonna bagaggawadde olw’obulamu bwe obw’okwejalabya.”
For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.
4 Ne mpulira eddoboozi eddala nga lyogera okuva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, “‘Mmwe abantu bange muve mu kibuga ekyo’ muleme kwegatta mu bibi bye, muleme kubonerezebwa wamu naye.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:
5 Kubanga ebibi bye bingi nnyo, era bituuse ne mu ggulu, era Katonda ajjukira obutali butuukirivu bwe.
for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Mumuyise nga naye bwe yayisa abalala; mumubonereze emirundi ebiri olw’ebikolwa bye ebibi. Mumuyengere emirundi ebiri mu kikompe kye yagabulirangamu abalala.
Render unto her even as she rendered, and double [unto her] the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double.
7 Nga bwe yeegulumiza ne yeejalabya, bw’otyo bw’oba omubonereza era omunakuwaze, kubanga ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Ntudde nga kabaka omukazi, siri nnamwandu, era sirina nnaku.’
How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning.
8 Noolwekyo ebibonyoobonyo eby’okufa n’okukaaba n’enjala birimujjira mu lunaku lumu, era alizikirizibwa n’omuliro; kubanga Mukama Katonda amusalidde omusango.
Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God which judged her.
9 “Bakabaka ab’omu nsi abeegatta naye mu bwenzi bwe ne beejalabya naye, balimukaabira nga bakuba ebiwoobe bwe baliraba omukka oguva mu kifo mw’alyokerwa.
And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning,
10 Baliyimirira wala nga bakankana olw’okutya era nga boogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “‘Zikisanze, Zikisanze Babulooni ekibuga ekyo ekikulu! Ekibuga eky’amaanyi, Kubanga mu ssaawa emu omusango gwakyo gusaliddwa.’
standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 “Abasuubuzi b’omu nsi balimukaabira nga bamukungubagira kubanga nga tewakyali abagulako byamaguzi byabwe.
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more;
12 Ebyamaguzi ebya zaabu, n’ebya ffeeza, n’eby’amayinja ag’omuwendo, ne luulu, n’eby’engoye eza linena, n’eza kakobe, n’eza liiri, n’emyufu era na buli muti gwonna ogwa kaloosa, n’ebintu eby’amasanga, na buli kika eky’emiti egy’omuwendo ennyo, n’ebikomo, n’ebyuma awamu n’amayinja aga mabbo;
merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 n’ebyakaloosa, n’ebinzaali, n’obubaane, n’omuzigo gw’omugavu, n’envinnyo, n’amafuta, n’obuwunga bw’eŋŋaano obulungi; n’ente, n’endiga; n’embalaasi, n’amagaali; n’abaddu n’emyoyo gyabwe.
and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and [merchandise] of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men.
14 “Ekibala emmeeme yo kye yeegombanga, tekyakirina, byonna eby’omuwendo omungi n’eby’okwejalabya tebikyali bibyo. Bikuvuddeko byonna so toliddayo kubirabako nate emirembe gyonna.”
And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and [men] shall find them no more at all.
15 Bwe batyo abasuubuzi abaagaggawala olw’okubaguza ebintu bino, baliyimirira wala nga nabo batya, olw’okutya okubonaabona kwe, n’okukaaba kwe, n’okunakuwala kwe,
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
16 nga bagamba nti, “‘Zikisanze, Zikisanze, ekibuga ekikulu, ekifaanana ng’omukazi ayambadde engoye eza linena omulungi, n’eza kakobe, n’emyufu, era ng’ataddemu eby’omu bulago ebya zaabu n’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi ne luulu.
saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl!
17 Mu ssaawa emu obugagga obwenkanaawo bwonna buzikiridde!’ “Era abo bonna abalina emmeeri ez’eby’obusuubuzi awamu n’abagoba baazo, n’abo abazikolamu, baayimirira wala.
for in one hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any whither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,
18 Bakaaba nga balaba omukka oguva mu muliro ogumwokya, nga gwambuka, nga bwe bagamba nti, ‘Ekibuga ekiri nga kino kirirabika wa nate?’
and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city] is like the great city?
19 Ne beeyiyira enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe nga banakuwadde era nga bakaaba nga boogera nti, “‘Zikisanze, Zikisanze, ekibuga ekikulu! Kyabagaggawaza bonna abaalina ebyombo ku lubalama lw’ennyanja olw’obugagga obwakirimu, naye kaakano mu ssaawa emu byonna ebyakirimu bizikiridde.’
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein were made rich all that had their ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 “Kyokka ggwe eggulu ssanyuka olw’okubonerezebwa kwe, nammwe abatukuvu ne bannabbi n’abatume musanyuke. Kubanga Katonda amusalidde omusango ku lwammwe.”
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
21 Awo malayika omu ow’amaanyi n’asitula ejjinja eddene eriri ng’olubengo n’alisuula mu nnyanja nga bw’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Bwe kityo Babulooni, ekibuga ekikulu bwe kirisuulibwa wansi n’amaanyi, era tekiriddayo kulabika nate emirembe gyonna.
And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 Mu ggwe temuliwulirwa nate ddoboozi lya bayimbi, n’abakubi b’ennanga n’ery’abafuuyi b’endere, n’ery’abafuuyi b’eŋŋombe. Mu ggwe temulisangibwamu muweesi wadde okuweesa okw’engeri yonna, newaakubadde okuvuga kw’olubengo nga basa tekuliwulirwa mu ggwe.
And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 Ekitangaala ky’ettabaaza ng’eyaka tekirirabikira mu ggwe nate, kubanga abasuubuzi be wasuubulanga nabo baamanyika nnyo mu nsi yonna, era walimbalimba amawanga gonna n’eby’obulogo bwo.
and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived.
24 Era mu Babulooni mwasangibwamu omusaayi gw’abatukuvu n’ogwa bannabbi, n’abo bonna abattibwa ku nsi.”
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.
