< Mulʼata 17 >
1 Ergamoota torban waciitiiwwan torba qaban keessaa inni tokko gara koo dhufee akkana naan jedhe; “Kottu! Adaba sagaagaltittii guddittii ishee bishaanota baayʼee irra teessu sana irratti raawwatamuuf jiru sittin argisiisaa.
And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;
2 Mootonni lafaa ishee wajjin sagaagalaniiru; warri lafa irra jiraatanis daadhii wayinii sagaagala isheetiin machaaʼaniiru.”
with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
3 Ergamaan Waaqaa sunis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan na fuudhee gammoojjiitti na geesse. Achittis dubartii bineensa bildiimaa maqaa arrabsootiin guutame tokko irra teessu nan arge; bineensichis mataa torbaa fi gaanfa kudhan qaba ture.
And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Dubartittiinis uffata dhiilgee fi bildiimaa uffattee warqeen, dhagaa gatii guddaatii fi lulaan miidhagfamtee turte. Harka isheettis xoofoo warqee kan waan jibbisiisaa fi xuraaʼummaa sagaagala isheetiin guutame qabattee turte.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication,
5 Adda ishee irrattis maqaan icciitii kan akkana jedhu tokko barreeffamee ture: Baabilon Guddittii, Haadha Sagaagaltootaa fi, Haadha waan Jibbisiisaa Lafaa.
and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 Akka dubartittiin dhiiga qulqullootaatii fi dhiiga warra Yesuusiif dhugaa baʼaniitiin machoofte nan arge. Anis yommuu ishee argetti baayʼeen dinqifadhe.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.
7 Ergamichis akkana naan jedhe; “Ati maaliif dinqifatta? Icciitii dubartittii fi icciitii bineensicha ishee baatu kan mataa torbaa fi gaanfa kudhan qabu sanaa sitti nan hima.
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 Bineensi ati argite sun dur ture; amma garuu hin jiru; booddee garuu Boolla Qilee keessaa ol baʼee gara badiisa isaa ni dhaqa. Warri lafa irra jiraatan kanneen maqaan isaanii uumama addunyaatii jalqabee kitaaba jireenyaa keessatti hin galmeeffamin yommuu bineensicha arganitti ni dinqisiifatu; sababiin isaas bineensichi dur ture; amma garuu hin jiru; booddee garuu ni dhufa. (Abyssos )
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, [they] whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come. (Abyssos )
9 “Kunis sammuu ogummaa qabu gaafata. Mataawwan torban sunis tulluuwwan torban dubartittiin irra teessuu dha.
Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:
10 Akkasumas mataawwan torban sun mootota torba. Isaan keessaas shan kufaniiru; inni tokko jira; inni kaan immoo amma illee hin dhufne; yommuu dhufutti garuu yeroo gabaabaaf turuu qaba.
and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.
11 Bineensichi duraan turee amma immoo hin jirre sun mootii saddeettaffaa dha. Inni mootota torban keessaa tokkoo dha; gara badiisa isaas ni dhaqa.
And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.
12 “Gaanfawwan kurnan ati argite sun mootota kurnan warra amma illee mootummaa hin argatinii dha; taʼus isaan bineensicha wajjin saʼaatii tokko akka moototaatti moʼuuf taayitaa ni fudhatu.
And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
13 Isaanis yaaduma tokko qabu; humna isaaniitii fi taayitaa isaaniis dabarsanii bineensichaaf ni kennu.
These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.
14 Isaanis Hoolichatti lola ni kaasu; Hoolichi garuu waan Gooftaa gooftotaatii fi Mootii moototaa taʼeef isaan moʼata; warri isa wajjin jiranis warra isaaf waamaman, warra isaaf filatamanii fi warra isaaf amanamanii dha.”
These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they [also shall overcome] that are with him, called and chosen and faithful.
15 Ergamaan sunis akkana naan jedhe; “Bishaanonni ati argite kanneen sagaagaltittiin irra teessu sun saboota, namoota, sanyiiwwanii fi afaanota.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 Bineensichii fi gaanfawwan kurnan ati argite sun sagaagaltittii ni jibbu. Isaanis ishee onsanii qullaa ishee hambisu; foon ishee ni nyaatu; ibiddaanis ishee gubu.
And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.
17 Isaanis hamma dubbiin Waaqaa fiixaan baʼutti walii galuudhaan taayitaa isaanii dabarsanii bineensichaaf kennuudhaan akka kaayyoo Waaqaa raawwataniif Waaqni yaada kana garaa isaanii keessa kaaʼeeraatii.
For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
18 Dubartittiin ati argite sun magaalattii guddoo mootota lafaa bulchituu dha.”
And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
