Nng'ibhulo 18
1 Gakapiteje genego, gunimmwene malaika juna alituluka kukopoka kunnungu. Ashinkukola mashili ga punda, na shilambolyo shikulangaywaga kwa ukonjelo gwakwe.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 Bhai, gwakweshiye lilobhe alinkuti, “Shigwile, shilambo shikulu sha Bhabhuloni shigwile! Nnaino shishibha ndamo ja mashetani, na ashimaoka bhangali bha mmbone, ndamo ja ijuni yangali ya mmbone na ya nyata.
He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
3 Pabha ilambo yowe ishikolelwa ukana gwa labhalabha, na bhapalume bha shilambolyo bhashigona nabhonji. Na bhaatendanga upindi bha pa shilambolyo, gubhapatilenje mali kwa ligongo lya shonanga shakwe.”
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
4 Kungai gumbilikene lilobhe lina kukopoka kunnungu lilinkuti, “Mmandu bhangu, nshokangane shene shilambosho, nnaikundikanyanje mwilebho yakwe, mwiiembuyanje na mboteko yakwe.
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
5 Pabha ilebho yakwe ishipunda kushuluka, ishigumbala mpaka niika kunnungu, na a Nnungu bhaikumbushile ilebho yakwe.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Muntendelanje malinga shantendelenje mmanganya, muntendelanje pabhili yantendelenjeyo. Nshing'welo shakwemo munngumbashiyanje pabhili.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Mumpanganje mboteko na kuinjika, malinga shaitapaga, na malinga shaikonjaga. Pabha sha muntima akuti. ‘Ndemi apano, nne akongwa a mpalume. Nne nngabha najwankongwe nshitenga, na wala nangali sha kwiigutanjila!’
However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
8 Kwa lyene ligongolyo mambukute shiganng'imane lyubha limope, shiwo na shililo na shibhanga. Shatiniywe na moto, pabha bhakunng'ukumula, ni a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili gowe.”
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burnt with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Bhapalume bha pa shilambolyo bhagonilenje nagwe jwenejo, akuno bhalikwiikonjanga kwa shonanga, shibhagutanje na kunngutanjila, pushibhalibhonanje lyoi lya tiniywa kwakwe.
The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 Shibhajimangane kwa talika kwa ligongo lya jogopa mboteko yakwe, bhalinkutinji, “Ole! Ole, nnole shilambo sha Bhabhuloni, shilambo shikulungwa shikwete mashili! Pabha kwa shaa jimope ukumu jako jikuishile.”
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgement has come in one hour.’
11 Bhaatendanga upindi bha pa shilambolyo, shibhagutanje na kunngutanjila, pabha jwakwa auma kabhili upindi gwabhonji,
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
12 Atendaga uma indu ya igwinji. Shaabhu na ela, na maganga ga ela yaigwinji, na lulu, na nngubho ya kitani ja mmbone, na nngubho ya langi ja shambalau, na alili, na nngubho yanashe, na kila nkongo gwa nunjila, na kila shikelelo shieleywe kwa mbembe, na kila shikelelo sha mikongo ja ela yaigwinji, na sha shabha, na sha shitale, na sha malumalu,
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 na nndalashini, na ilunjilo, na lubhani, na mauta ga nunjila, na udi, na mvinyo, na mauta ga nsheituni, na utandi gwa mmbone, na ngano, na ng'ombe, na ngondolo, na palashi, na mutuka, na bhatumwa, yani bhandunji.
and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 Bhaatendanga upindi bhalikummalanjilanga. “Mbwaiko yowe yugwaloleyaga ila iobhile, na utajili na kushuma kula kupelile, ukakombola kwiipata kabhili!”
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
15 Bhaatendanga upindi bhapatilenje mali kwa upindi na shene shilambosho, shibhajimangane kwa taliya kwa ligongo lya jogopa mboteko yakwe, bhaligutanga kwa ililo,
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 bhalinkutinji, “Ole! Ole, shene shilambo shikulungwashi. Gwayobhelele kuwalila nngubho ya kitani, ya langi ja shambalau, na yanashe, na kwiikwatula na shaabhu, na maganga ga ela yaigwinji, na lulu!
saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 Kwa shaa jimope utajili gwako uobhile!” Na bhowe bhaendeshanga meli, na bhandunji bhowe bhakwendangana mmeli, na indu ina ikwenda mmashi, na bhandunji bhakwiipashilanga mmeli, na bhaakamulanga maengo mmeli, gubhajimimgene kwa taliya,
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 pushibhalibhonanje lyoi lya moto gwa tiniywa kwakwe, shibhagutanje kwa utiya bhalinkutinji. “Shikanabhe koposhela shilambo shikulungwa malinga sheneshi!”
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
19 Gubhaitutulilenje ndutuli mmitwe jabhonji, akuno bhaligutanga kwa shililo, bhalinkutinji. “Ole! Ole, nnole shilambo shikulungwa shila! Bhowe bhakwetenje meli, bhapwaikenje na utajili gwakwe. Kwa shaa jimope indu yowe ititimile!
They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
20 Nng'angalalanje kunnungu na mmandunji bha ukonjelo, ashimitume na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu! Pabha a Nnungu bhashiukumula kwa ligongo lya itendi, yantendelenje mmanganya!”
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgement on her.”
21 Na malaika jumo akwete mashili, gwajinwile liganga lya mbuti liganga likulungwa lya yajila, gwalileshele mbhaali, alinkuti, “Nneyo na shilambo shikulu sha Bhabhuloni, shipinga leshelwa pai, na wala shikabhoneka kabhili.
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 Nyimbo ya bhaagomba ingushingushi na bhaajimba, na bhaagomba imbeta na mbalapala, wala ikapilikanika kabhili munngwako. Munngwako akabhoneka kabhili pundi, wala akwete shiloi shoshowe. Na liganga lya yajila likapilikanika kabhili munngwako.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 Shilangaya sha kandili shikalangaya kabhili munngwako, wala njobhela ya nng'angalo gwa ndoa, ukapilikanika kabhili munngwako. Pabha bhaatendanga upindi bhako, pubhalinginji bhandunji bha manyika pa shilambolyo. Ilambo yowe ishipuganywa kwa uabhi gwako.”
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 Mmitala jako jibhoneshe minyai ja ashinkulondola, na bhandunji bha ukonjelo bha a Nnungu, na minyai ja bhandunji bhowe bhabhulegwenje pa shilambolyo.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
