Nng'ibhulo 13
1 Bhai, lijoka lila gulijimi nnyenje bhaali. Gunimmwene nnyama jumo alikopoka mbhaali. Ashinkukola mitwe shabha na mbembe likumi limo, na kila lupembe lwashinkubhikwa shilemba. Muntundu mitwe jakwe gashinkujandikwa mena ga kwaatukana a Nnungu.
And he stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.
2 Jwene nnyama junammwene jula paaliji mbuti ubhi, makongono gakwe mbuti liogo na ntwe gwakwe mbuti imba. Lijoka jula gwanngabhile nnyama jula mashili gakwe na shitengu shakwe sha ukulungwa na mashili ga kaje.
The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The serpent gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
3 Ntwe gwakwe gumo pugwabhonekaga mbuti ushiulaywa libhanga lya shiwo, ikabheje libhanga lyakwe liponile. Shilambo showe shikunkanganigwaga nnyama jula nigubhankagulenje.
One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.
4 Bhandunji bhowe gubhantindibhalilenje lijoka jula kwa pabha nnyama jula ashinkunngabhila mashili gakwe. Gubhantindibhalilenje na nnyama jula bhalinkutinji, “Gani ali malinga aju nnyamaju? Numbe gani akombola kukomana najo?”
They worshiped the serpent, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
5 Na nnyama jula gwaleshilwe abhelekete malobhe ga kwiitapa na ga kwaatukana a Nnungu, gwapegwilwe mashili ga tenda liengo lyakwe kwa myei makumi nsheshe na jibhili.
A mouth was given to him speaking proud words and blasphemies. There was given to him authority to act for forty-two months.
6 Bhai, gwatandwibhe kwaatukana a Nnungu na alitukana na lina lyabho na ndamo jabho na bhowe bhaatamangana kunnungu.
He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
7 Na gwaleshilwe akomane ngondo na bhandunji bha ukonjelo nikwaakombolanga. Gwapegwile ukulungwa kubhandunji bha kila kabhila, na kila shipinga, na kila shibheleketi, na kila shilambo.
It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
8 Bhowe bhaatamangana pa shilambolyo shibhantindibhalilanje, ikabheje bhene bhajandikwenje mena gabhonji nshitabhu sha gumi shika Mwana Ngondolo ainjilwe, kuumila ku ndandubho kwa panganywa shilambolyo.
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb who has been killed.
9 Akwete makutujo, apilikane!
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 Mundu atumbililwe kukamulwa utumwa, shaakamulwe utumwa, na mundu jwa bhulagwa na upanga, shabhulagwe na upanga. Kwa nneyo, bhandunji bha ukonjelo bhaipilililanje na bhakolanje ngulupai.
If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 Kabhili, gunimmwene nnyama juna alikopoka nnitaka. Ashinkukola mbembe ibhili mbuti ya ngondolo, ikabheje atendaga bheleketa mbuti lijoka.
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a serpent.
12 Ashinkukola mashili gapegwilwe nagwe nnyama jwa ntai jula, na gwalangwile mashili gakwe kuka nnyama jula. Akushitendaga shilambolyo, na bhowe bhaatamangana mwenemo, kuntindibhalila nnyama jwa ntai, akwete libhanga liponile jula.
He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
13 Gwatendile ilapo yaikulungwa, akubhulayaga moto ukoposhe kunnungu utulushe pa shilambolyo, nibhoneka ku bhandu bhowe.
He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of people.
14 Alikwaapuganyanga bhandunji bhaatamangana pa shilambolyo, kwa ilapo yapegwile kwiitenda paka nnyama jwa ntai jula. Alikwaabhalanjilanga bhaatamangana pa shilambo bhanng'alashiyanje shanamu nnyama jwa ntai auleywe kwa upanga nilama kabhili jula.
He deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15 Nigwapegwilwe mashili ga pepetela mbumu ya gumi nshanamu shika nnyama jwa ntai jula, mpaka gushikombwele kubheleketa nikwaabhulaganga bhandunji bhowe bhashitindibhalilenje shanamu shika nnyama shila.
It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast could both speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 Na alikwaatendanga bhowenji, bhashoko na bhakulungwanji, matajili, na bhaalaga, na bhangwana, na bhatumwa bhalembwanje lulembo munkono gwabhonji gwa nnilo eu pa shenyi shabhonji.
He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead;
17 Na kabhili kuti mundu jojowe anaume shindu eu kuusha, ikabheje mundu alembilwe lwene lulembolo, yani lina lika nnyama jula eu eshabhu ja lyene linalyo.
and that no one could be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18 Penepa panapinjikwa lunda! Akwete lunda shagamanye malombolelo ga eshabhu jika jwene nnyamajo, pabha ni eshabhu jikunnombola mundu. Jene eshabhujo, mmia shita na makumi shita na shita.
Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
