Ufunuo 12
1 Ishara ngolo yaibonekine kumaunde: nwawa yayobikwe ni lumu, ni mwei pae ya magolo yabe; ni taji lya ndondwa komi ni ibele yabile kunani ya mtwe wabe.
And a great sign was seen in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars,
2 Abile ni ndumbo ni abile kalela kwaajili ya maumivu ya papa-katika uchungu wa beleka.
and having [a child] in [her] womb she cries out, travailing and being in pain to bring forth.
3 Ni ishara yenge yabonekine kumaunde: Lola! Pabile ni ling'ambo likele nkolo abile ni mitwe saba ni mbembe komi, ni yabile mataji saba pamutwe yabe.
And there was seen another sign in the sky, and behold, a great fire-colored dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads,
4 Nkela wabe utikokota theluthi jimo ya ndondwa kumaunde ni kuitoikwa pae mukilambo. Lingambo latiyema nnonge ya mwana nnwawa ywa karibie beleka, lenga wakati wabeleka, apale kummeza mwana wake.
and his tail draws the third of the stars of the sky, and he cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, he may devour her child;
5 Atibeleka mwana, mwana nnalome, ywapala tawala mataifa yoti kwa imba ya kiuma. Mwana wake atikakatuliwa kunani ya Nnongo ni pa iteo ya enzi.
and she brought forth a male son, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and her child was snatched up to God and to His throne,
6 Ni nnwawa atibutukiya nyikani, mahali ambapo Nnongo atiandaa eneo kwa ajili yake, lenga aweche hudumiwa kwa machoba 1,260.
and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her—one thousand, two hundred, sixty days.
7 Na mbeyambe yabile ni vita kumaunde. Mikaeli ni malaika zake batikombwana ni yolo ling'ambo; ni ywembe ling'ambo likolo ni malaika bake batikombwana nabo.
And there came war in Heaven: Michael and his messengers warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers warred,
8 Lakini ling'ambo labile ntopo ni ngupu yatosha shinda. Kwanyoo yabile ntopo nafasi kae kumaunde kwaajili yake ni malaika bake.
and they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven;
9 Ling'ambo likolo -ling'ambo lelo lya kunchogo lyakemelwa ibilisi ama nchela ambalo libaya ubocho-kilambo sote latitaikuliwa pae mukilambo, ni malaika bake bataikulilwe pae pamope ni ywembe.
and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called “Devil,” and “Satan,” who is leading the whole world astray—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.
10 Boka po nayowine lilobe likolo boka kumaunde: “Nambeambe wokovu uichile, ngupu-ni ufalme wa Nnongo witu, ni mamlaka ya Kristo wabe, Kwa kuwa mshitaki wa anuna bitu ataikulilwe pae-anda kubashitaki nnonge ya Nnongo witu mutwekati ni kilo.
And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, “Now came the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers was cast down, who is accusing them before our God day and night;
11 Batikumshinda kwa damu ya mwana ngondolo ni kwa neno lya ushuhuda wabe, kwa maana bapendile kwa muno maisha yabe, hata waa.
and they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life—to death;
12 Kwa nyoo, mushangilie, mwenga kumaunde, ni boti mwamutama nkati yabe, Lakini ole wa kilambo ni bahari kwa sababu mwovu atiuluka kwinu atwelile ni hasira kali, kwa mana atangite kwamba abii ni muda nchunu.
because of this be glad, you heavens, and those who dwell in them; woe to those inhabiting the earth and the sea, because the Devil went down to you, having great wrath, having known that he has [a] short time.”
13 Wakati ling'ambo lyatangite panga lateikulilwe pae pakilambo, latikunkengama nnwawa ywa atibeleka mwana nnalome.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male,
14 Lakini nnwawa apeilwe mabawa abele ya tai nkolo, lenga kwamba aweche goroka hadi ku'lieneo lya liandaliwe kwa ajili yake kolyo ku'jangwa, eneo ambalo aweza kuitunza mwene, nyakati ni nusu wakati-mahali pawecha kwaa kaa yolo ling'ambo.
and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly into the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent;
15 Ling'ambo lyatipengana mache boka pankano wake kati libende, lenga apange gharika ya kumgharikisha.
and the serpent cast forth out of his mouth water as a river after the woman, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river,
16 Lakini mbwee itikunyangatia nnwawa, Itiumukwa nkano wake ni milalibende launile ling'ambo boka pankano wake.
and the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast forth out of his mouth;
17 Boka po ling'ambo atikumkachilikia nnwawa naywembe atiboka ni panga vita ni uzao wabe woti-balo babamtii amri ya Nnongo ni shirikiana ushuhuda kuhusu. Yesu.
and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus.
