Ugubukulo 18
1 Pagamaliki genago, namuwene mtumu yungi wa kunani kwa Chapanga ihelela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga. Avi na uhotola mkulu, na mulima wang'asimi kwa kung'asima kwaki.
And after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was enlightened with his glory.
2 Hinu, akakwesa lwami akajova. “Ugwili, Babeli mkulu ugwili! Hinu uvi matamilu ga masetani na mizuka mihakau, uvi matamilu ga videge vihakau na kuyomesa neju.
And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird:
3 Ndava muni vandu va milima yoha, vagalili kwa divayi yikali ya ukemi waki, vene vankosi vahengili ukemi nayu, na vevigulisa vindu va pamulima vapatili chiyonjokesu chivaha neju ndava ya mnogu wa kujisangalusa kwavi.”
Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies.
4 Kangi nayuwini lwami kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga kwijova, “Vandu vangu, muwuka kwaki, muni mkoto kuvya pamonga nawu mukumbudila kwavi Chapanga, mkoto kuhamba mumotu wa magono goha wangajimika.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
5 Ndava muni mabudilu gaki gamahele neju, galundikini mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga, na Chapanga mweikumbuka uhakau waki.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Mumkitila mewawa ngati cheavakitili. Muwuyisila mala zivili kwa gala geavahengili vangi. Chimemesa chikombi chaki cha divayi yaki, Muhanganisila divayi yivavanu mala zivili kuliku cheakutendekili nyenye.
Render to her as she also hath rendered to you; and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup wherein she hath mingled, mingle ye double unto her.
7 Mumpela mang'ahiso na mvinisu kuwanangana na kumeka na kujikwiha kwaki neju, kuwanangana na kutama kwaki kwa ukemi. Muni akujijovela mumtima, ‘Nitama penapa ngati nkosi wa chidala, nene lipwela lepi amala nipata lepi mvinisu!’
As much as she hath glorified herself, and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her; because she saith in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow; and sorrow I shall not see.
8 Ndava yeniyo matovilu gaki yati gakumkolela kwa ligono limonga, utamu na ungolongondi na njala. Yati iyochwa motu, muni Bambu Chapanga mweavi na uhamula ana makakala.”
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be burnt with the fire; because God is strong, who shall judge her.
9 Vankosi va mulima vahengili ukemi nayu na kutama nayu muwumi wa ukemi yati vivemba lukumbi pevilola lyohi la muji wenuwo wewitinyika.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived in delicacies with her, shall weep, and bewail themselves over her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning:
10 Viyima cha kutali ndava ya kuyogopa mang'ahiso gaki na kujova, “Lola chewing'aika muji ukulu, Babeli, muji una makakala lukumbi lwa saa yimonga ndu mbunu waku ukukolili.”
Standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying: Alas! alas! that great city Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 Vandu vevigulisa na kugula va mulima yati vivemba na kuwombeleza, ndava avi lepi mundu mweigula vindu vyavi kavili,
And the merchants of the earth shall weep, and mourn over her: for no man shall buy their merchandise any more.
12 avi lepi kavili wa kugula vindu vyevitenganizwi kwa zahabu yavi, feza na maganga ga mashonga gamahele na lulu na nyula zezing'asima neju na nyula za langi ya zambalau na nyula za vitambala vya halili na nyula yidung'u na vindu vya kila aina vyevitengenizwi kwa mikongo ya mashonga gamahele na vindu vya mang'elu ga ndembu na vindu vyevitenganizwi kwa shaba vya lyuma na malumalu,
Merchandise of gold and silver, and precious stones; and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner of vessels of ivory, and all manner of vessels of precious stone, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble,
13 na mdalasini, ndimbilu na ubani wa manemane na udi na divayi na mahuta ga zeituni na uhembe wa nganu na ng'ombi na limbelele, mutuka wa kuhutwa na falasi na vavanda hati wumi wa vandu.
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 Vevigulisa vindu vakumjovela, “Vindu vyoha vyabwina vyeuvili navyu viyagilii, na vindu vyamahele na ulumba vikujumbili, amala ukivilola lepi kavili!”
And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee, and all fat and goodly things are perished from thee, and they shall find them no more at all.
15 Vevigulisa na kugula vapatili vindu kuhuma muji wenuwo, yati viyima kutali ndava ya wogohi wa mang'ahiso gala gakotoka kuvakolela vene yati vivemba na kujova.
The merchants of these things, who were made rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of her torments, weeping and mourning.
16 Vakajova, “Lola chewing'ahika muji wenuwo mkulu. Weuyovalili kuwala nyula zezing'asima na nyula za langi ya zambalau na langi yidung'u, na kujinyambisa kwa vindu vyevitengenizwi kwa zahabu, na maganga ga mashonga gamahele na lusalu lwa lulu.
And saying: Alas! alas! that great city, which was clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and was gilt with gold, and precious stones, and pearls.
17 Mulukumbi lwa saa yimonga ndu vindu vyamahele vihalabiki!” Kangi vevilongosa watu voha na valumugendu wavi vandu voha vevihenga mahengu munyanja na vandu voha vevigulisa vindu munyanja vayimili cha kutali,
For in one hour are so great riches come to nought; and every shipmaster, and all that sail into the lake, and mariners, and as many as work in the sea, stood afar off.
18 yati vakuliwona lyohi la motu wula weutinyisi, vakavemba kwa lwami, “Kawaka muji wungi weuwanangana na muji uwu mkulu!”
And cried, seeing the place of her burning, saying: What city is like to this great city?
19 Vajibilindwisi mulububu mitu yavi kulangisa vana mvinisu, vakavemba kwa lwami na kujova, “Lola chewing'ahika veve muji mkulu! Ndi muji woha weuvi na watu zezigenda munyanja vapatili vindu vyamahele ndava yaki. Nambu mulukumbi lumonga ndu uyagisi kila chindu!”
And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices: for in one hour she is made desolate.
20 Mhekelelayi, nyenye kunani kwa Chapanga! Mhekelelayi nyenye vandu va Chapanga na vamitumi na vamlota va Chapanga, ndava Chapanga akitili uhamula ndava yinu nyenye!
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
21 Kangi, mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mmonga mweavi na makakala kayinula liganga livaha ngati la kuyagila, akalitaga munyanja akajova, “Chenichi ndi chewihamuliwa njwe Babeli muji mkulu yati wiwonekana lepi kavili.
And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 Lwami lwa vandu veviyimba na vabeta chitolilo vinjeke na vapyula mapenenga ziyuwanika lepi kavili mugati yaki ng'o. Kawaka fundi wa namuna yoyoha yila mweapatikini mugati yaku, amala lwami lwa liganga la kuyagila yati liyuwanika lepi kavili mugati yaku ng'o.
And the voice of harpers, and of musicians, and of them that play on the pipe, and on the trumpet, shall no more be heard at all in thee; and no craftsman of any art whatsoever shall be found any more at all in thee; and the sound of the mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 Lumuli lwa hahi lulangasa lepi kavili mugati mwaku ng'o, lwami lwa mkolo ndowa na mgegewa ndowa luyuwanika lepi kavili mugati mwaku ng'o. Vevigulisa na kugula vavi na makakala ga pamulima. Na kwa uhavi waku uvayagisi vandu va milima yoha!”
And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for all nations have been deceived by thy enchantments.
24 Muji wenuwo wa Babuloni uhukumiwi ndava mugati yaki uwonikini ngasi ya vamlota va Chapanga na vandu vaki pamonga na ngasi ya vandu voha vevakomiwi pamulima.
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
