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.
Then came one of the seven angels who have the seven cups, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, who 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 have practised whoredom, and the inhabitants of the earth have been inebriated with the wine of her whoredom.
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 led me in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a red beast of prey, which was full of names of blasphemy, and had 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 clothed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had a cup of gold in her hand, which was full of the pollutions and impurity of her whoredoms of the earth.
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 was the name written: Mystery: Babylon the great; the Mother of Harlots, and of the contaminations 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 that the woman was intoxicated with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
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 to me, Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast of prey that beareth 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 g12)
The beast of prey which thou sawest, was, and is not; and he will ascend from the abyss and go into perdition: and the dwellers on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast of prey, which was, and is not, and approacheth. (Abyssos g12)
9 “Kunis sammuu ogummaa qabu gaafata. Mataawwan torban sunis tulluuwwan torban dubartittiin irra teessuu dha.
Here is intelligence, for him who hath wisdom. Those seven heads are the 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 there are seven kings: of whom five have fallen, one exists, and the other hath not yet come; and when he cometh he must continue for a short time.
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 of prey, which was and is not, is the eighth, and is from the seven, and is for 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 which thou sawest, are ten kings. These persons have not yet received royalty; but they receive authority, as if kings, with the beasts of prey, for one hour.
13 Isaanis yaaduma tokko qabu; humna isaaniitii fi taayitaa isaaniis dabarsanii bineensichaaf ni kennu.
They have one mind; and they will give their power and authority unto the beast of prey.
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.”
They will make war upon the Lamb; and the Lamb will vanquish them; because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and these with him are 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 said to 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 of prey, will hate the harlot; and they will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and burn her 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 hath put into their hearts, to do his pleasure, and to execute one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast of prey, until these words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 Dubartittiin ati argite sun magaalattii guddoo mootota lafaa bulchituu dha.”
And the woman whom thou sawest, is the great city, which hath dominion over the kings of the earth.
