Ugubutulu 17
1 Yumu gwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi saba walii, yawaweriti na mabakuli saba kiziti na kang'ambiriti, “Gwizi na neni hanukulanguziyi utoza yakapananitwi mndiyandiya mkulu ulii, yakalivagiti pambeku na mashi gavuwa.
And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, 'Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters,
2 Wafalumi wa pasipanu watenditi uhumba pamuhera nayomberi na wantu yawalikala pasipanu walowera divayi ya uhumba wakuwi.”
with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;'
3 Shakapanu Rohu gwa Mlungu kanjegiti na ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kanjegiti kushiwara. Kweni aku numwona mdala kalivagiti pankanyama mkalipa msheri. Nkanyama mkalipa ayu kaweriti kalembwa kila pahala matawu ga kumwigilanga Mlungu, kaweriti na mituwi saba na magoli lilongu.
and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,
4 Mdala ayu kaweriti kavala nguwu langi ya zambalawu na nsheri, kaweriti kalihelipiziya kwa zaabu na vintu vinyawitwi kwa mabuwi ga beyi nkulu na mabuwi ga lulu. Mumawoku mwakuwi kaweriti na lutekeru lwa zaabu lwaluweliti lumema makalaliru na vitwatira vidoda vya uhumba wakuwi.
and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,
5 Pashiwunji shakuwi palembitwi visoweru vya litawu lyana mana ya bada, “Babiloni mkulu, mawu gwa wandiyandiya na gwa vitwatira vyoseri vya kukalaziya nentu pasipanu.”
and upon her forehead was a name written: 'Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.'
6 Numwona mdala ayu kalowera mwazi gwa wantu wa Mlungu na mwazi gwa wantu yawalagitwi toziya ya kuwera wakapitawu kwa Yesu. Panumwoniti nulikangashiti nentu.
And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder — having seen her — with great wonder;
7 Kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kang'ambira, “Iwera hashi gwankulikangasha. Neni hanukugambiri mana ya bada yaififikiti ya mdala ayu na nkanyama mkalipa ayu yakampapiti, nkanyama mkalipa yakawera na mituwi saba na magoli lilongu.
and the messenger said to me, 'Wherefore didst thou wonder? I — I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 Nkanyama mkalipa ayu yagumwoniti, kaweriti mkomu pakwanja kumbiti vinu kahowa. Kayi kapakwegera kulawa mulirindi lyalihera upeleru kugenda kuharabisiwa. Wantu yawalikala pasipanu hawalikangashi, wantu woseri matawu gawu galembitwi ndiri mushintola sha ukomu kwanjira kunyawa kwa pasipanu, hawalikangashi kumwona nkanyama mkalipa ayu kwanja kalikaliti, shakapanu kafuwa na vinu hakalawili kayi. (Abyssos g12)
'The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. (Abyssos g12)
9 “Panu pafiruwa mahala na luhala! Mituwi saba ayi ndo vigongu saba mdala ayu kalivagiti. Mituwi ayi viraa ndo wafalumi saba.
'Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit,
10 Pakati pa wafalumi saba, wamhanu yawagamiliti kala, yumu kankali kankukolamlima na yumonga ulii kankali kwiza na pakasoka kafiruwa hakakolimlima kwa shipindi shididini.
and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;
11 Na nkanyama mkalipa ayu yakaweriti kankulikala kwanja, kumbiti vinu kalikala ndiri kayi ndo mfalumi gwa nani na yomberi viraa ndo yumu gwawu gwa walii saba na kuharabisiwa.
and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away.
12 “Magoli galii lilongu yagugawoniti ndo wafalumi lilongu weni haweniyanji kukolamlima. Kumbiti hawapananwi uwezu wa kukolamlima kwa shipindi sha saa yimu pamuhera na nkanyama mkalipa ulii.
'And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast,
13 Woseri awa lilongu wawera na nfiru yimu na hawamupanani nkanyama mkalipa ulii makakala na uwezu wawu.
these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over;
14 Hawalikomangi na Mwanakondolu na kumbiti Mwanakondolu pamuhera na walii yakawashemiti na kuwasyagula weni ndo waminika hakawakanki toziya yomberi ndo Mtuwa gwa watuwa na Mfalumi gwa wafalumi.”
these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.'
15 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kang'ambira vilaa, “Mashi galii yagugawoniti palii pakalivagiti mndiyandiya ulii, ndo mapinga ga wantu wa kulawa kila isi, ukowu na luga.
And he saith to me, 'The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;'
16 Na magoli lilongu galii gagugawoniti na nkanyama mkalipa ulii hawamkalalili mndiyandiya ulii. Hawatoli kila shintu shakawera nashu na kumleka shivula hera, hawalii vinofu vya nshimba yakuwi na kumlunguziya kwa motu.
and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire,
17 Toziya Mlungu kalekera mumyoyu mwawu nfiru ya kutenda mafiliru gakuwi, su walijimirani womberi kwa womberi na kumpanana nkanyama mkalipa ayu makakala ga kukolamlima mpaka galii gagatakuliti Mlungu pagatendeka.
for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete,
18 “Na mdala ulii yagumwoniti ndo lushi lulii lukulu lwaluwera na ukukolamlima wawafalumi wa pasipanu.”
and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.'
