Ufunuo 18
1 Baada ya ilebe yoo namweni malaika ywenge atiuluka pae boka kumaunde. Ywembe abile ni mamlaka ngolo, ni kilambo satimulikilwa kwa utukufu wake.
And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of Heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory,
2 Atilela kwa lilobe likolo, atibaya, “Utitomboka, utitomboka, chelo kilambo kikolo cha Babeli! papangate mahali patama masetani, ni mahali patama masetani, ni patama kila mchapu ni iyuni ywabauchi.
and he cried in might [with] a great voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! And she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,
3 Kwa kuwa mataifa goti yanywile wembe ni tamaa ya umalaya wake umletiya asila. Bafalme wakilambo bapanga nae umalaya. Bapanga biashara ba kilambo bapangite matajiri kwa ngupu ya maisha gake ga anasa.”
because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom, and the kings of the earth committed whoredom with her, and merchants of the earth were made rich from the power of her indulgence.”
4 Boka po nayowine lilobe lyenge boka kumaunde kalibaya, “M'bokange kwake bandu bangu, lenga kana mushiriki katika sambi yake, lenga kana mupoki azabu yake yeyoti.
And I heard another voice out of Heaven, saying, “Come forth out of her, My people, that you may not partake with her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues,
5 Sambi yake itilundikana kunani kati maunde, ni Nnongo atikugakombokiya matendo gake maovu.
because her sins have reached up to Heaven, and God remembered her unrighteousness.
6 Munlepe kati mwabalepi benge, ni munkanlepe mara ibele kwa kadili muwapangite; katika kikombe chayangabine, mumyangabanie mara ibele kwa ajili yake.
Render to her as she also rendered to you, and double to her twofold according to her works; in the cup that she mingled mingle to her double.
7 Kati mwaikakatuye mwene, ni atitama kwa anasa, mumpei mateso genge ni huzunika. Kwa kuwa abaya kumoyo wake, “Natitama kati malkia; na kati mjane kwaa, nipabona kwa lombola.
As much as she glorified herself and indulged, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she says, I sit [as] queen, and I am not a widow, and I will not see sorrow;
8 Kwa nyoo nkati ya lichoba jimo mapigo gake galakutolya; kiwo, lomboka, ni njala. Atinike kwa mwoto, kwa kuwa Nngwana Nnongo ni mwene ngupu, na ni nkolo wake.”
because of this, in one day, will come her plagues: death, and sorrow, and famine; and she will be utterly burned in fire, because strong [is] the LORD God who is judging her;
9 Baafalme ba kilambo bapangite umalaya ni nachanganyikiwa pamope ni ywembe balela ni lombola babona lioi wa tinika kwake.
and the kings of the earth will weep over her and strike themselves for her, who committed whoredom and indulged with her, when they may see the smoke of her burning,
10 Batayema nninge ya ywembe, kwa hofu ya maumivu gake bakibaya, “ole, ole kwa mji nkolo, Babeli, mji wenye ngupu! kwa saa jimo hukumu yake itiisha.”
having stood from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! Because in one hour your judgment came.
11 Bapanga biashara wa kilambo mulele nalombola kwaajili yake, kwa kuwa ntopo hata yumo ywapema bidhaa yake kae.
And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore;
12 Bidhaa ya dhahabu, mbanje, maliwe ya thamani, lulu, kitani inanoga, zambarau, hariri, ngeree, aina yoti ya mikongo ya harufu inanoga, kila yombo cha mbembe za ndembokila yombo chakitengenezilwe kwa mikongo ya thamani shaba, kiume, liwe,
cargo of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all fragrant wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,
13 Mdalasini, viungo, uvumba, manemane, ubani, wembe, mauta, bwembwe unanoga, ngano, ng'ombe ni ngondolo, farasi ni mutuka, ni atumwa, ni roho ya bandu.
and cinnamon, and amomum, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.
14 Matunda ga uyaminyike kwa ngupu yako yatiboka boka kwako. Anasa yako yoti ni mapambo yatiboka, gapatikana kwaa kae.
And the fruits of the desire of your soul went away from you, and all things—the sumptuous and the radiant—went away from you, and no more at all may you find them.
15 Bapanga biashara wa ilebe yeno bapatike utajili kwa mapenzi gake batayema nnonge boka kwake kwa sababu ya hofu ya maumivu yake, balenga ni lilobe lya lombola.
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far off because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and mourning,
16 Bakibaya, “Ole, ole mji wolo nkolo wauwalike kitani kinanoga, zambarau, ni ngere, ni pambwa kwa dhahabu, ni vito vya thamani ni lulu!”
and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls—
17 Nkati ya saa jimo ufahari woti too watiboka. Kila nahodha wa ngalawa, kila baharia ni boti bana mache, ni boti babapanga kazi baharini, batiyema mbali
because in one hour so much riches were made desolate! And every shipmaster, and all the company on the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, stood far off,
18 Batilela pabamweni lioi watinika kwake. Batibaya, “Ni mji waa'ko waulandine ni mji wono nkolo?”
and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city?
19 Bataikwile mavumbi kunani ya mitwee yabe, ni batilela, bapitike moli ni lomboka, “Ole, ole mji pakolo poti babamile ni meli yabe baharini babile mafahari bokana ni mali yabe nkati ya lisaa limo batikuwangamiya.”
And they cast dust on their heads, and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! In which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness—for in one hour was she made desolate.
20 “Mupulaike kunani yake, kunani wenga waamini mitume, ni manabii, kwa maana Nnongo amemleta hukumu yinu kunani yake.”
Be glad over her, O Heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, because God judged your judgment of her!”
21 Malaika mwene ngupu atikakatuga liwe kati liwe likolo lya yaga ni taikwa baharini, kabaya'”kwa ndela yino, Babeli, walo mji nkolo wataikwa pae kwa ukatili ni wabonekana kwaa kae.
And one strong messenger took up a stone as a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found anymore at all;
22 Malobe gainanda, bana muziki, bang'anda filimbi, ni itarumbeta bayowanika kwaa kwinu. Wala lilobe lya litole ywayowanika kwinu.
and voice of harpists, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in you anymore; and any craftsman of any craft may not be found at all in you anymore; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in you anymore;
23 Bwega wa taa waangaza kwaa nkati yako ni lilobe ngwana harusi ni bibi harusi hywayowanika kwaa nkati yako, maana bapanga biashara wako babile wakolo wa kilambo, ni wa mataifa, batikongelwa kwa bwabe wako.
and light of a lamp may not shine at all in you anymore; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in you anymore; because your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were led astray in your sorcery,
24 Nkati yake damu ya manabii ni waamini yabonekine, ni damu ya wote babawile kunani ya kilambo.”
and in her blood of prophets and of holy ones was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.”
