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.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 Ndava muni mabudilu gaki gamahele neju, galundikini mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga, na Chapanga mweikumbuka uhakau waki.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has 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.
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 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!’
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 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 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 Vankosi va mulima vahengili ukemi nayu na kutama nayu muwumi wa ukemi yati vivemba lukumbi pevilola lyohi la muji wenuwo wewitinyika.
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 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 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 Vandu vevigulisa na kugula va mulima yati vivemba na kuwombeleza, ndava avi lepi mundu mweigula vindu vyavi kavili,
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys 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, 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 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, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 Vevigulisa vindu vakumjovela, “Vindu vyoha vyabwina vyeuvili navyu viyagilii, na vindu vyamahele na ulumba vikujumbili, amala ukivilola lepi kavili!”
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 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 by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, 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.
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 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 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 yati vakuliwona lyohi la motu wula weutinyisi, vakavemba kwa lwami, “Kawaka muji wungi weuwanangana na muji uwu mkulu!”
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the 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!”
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 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, O heaven, you holy ones, emissaries, and prophets, for God has judged your judgement 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.
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 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.
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 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!”
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 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.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
