Ugubutulu 18
1 Paaga numwoni ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yumonga pakasuluka kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Kaweriti na uwezu mkulu na pasipanu pamulikwa na ng'ereng'eta yakuwi.
After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.
2 Su kabotanga pakalonga, “Gubomoka, Babiloni lushi lukulu lubomoka! Vinu guwera numba ya washamshera na guwera liboma lya rohu zidoda zyoseri, na vijaka vya wampongu wadoda na wakukalaziya.
And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.
3 Toziya maisi goseri galoweritwi kwa divayi ikalipa ya kufira nentu uhumba wakuwi na wafalumi wa pasipanu watenditi uhumba nayomberi. Na watenda byashala wa pasipanu wawera walunda kwa makakala ga matamata yakuwi.”
All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”
4 Shakapanu mpikanira liziwu lyamonga kulawa kumpindi lilonga, “Wantu waneni, muwuki kwakuwi! Su namtenda pamuhera na yomberi muvidoda vyakuwi, Su namwiza kupata makomangu gakuwi!
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.
5 Toziya vidoda vyakuwi vivuwa nentu mpaka kumpindi, na Mlungu kagalyaluwa ndiri matendu gakuwi gadoda.
For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Mumtenderi ntambu yakawatenderiti, mumlipi mala mbili galii gakawatendiriti. Mumuhanganyili mulutekeru lwakuwi divayi ikalipa mala mbili nentu kuliku ilii yakawapananiti.
Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup.
7 Mumpanani ntabiku na utama ntambu ya kulitumba kwakuwi, kulawirana na kulikala kwakuwi kwa makaliru ga kulinemeziya. Toziya kalikwisa mweni mumoyu, ‘Nulikala panu, neni ndo malikiya. Neni na mkenja ndiri, ama hapeni mpatwi na shiwembu!’
As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’
8 Toziya ya aga makomangu gakuwi hagampati kwa lishaka limu, mauti na hinginiku na njala. Na yomberi hakalunguziwi motu, toziya Mtuwa Mlungu yakamwazibu ndo kawera na makakala.”
Therefore her plagues will come in one day— death and grief and famine— and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”
9 Wafalumi wa pasipanu yawatenditi uhumba na yomberi na kulikala nayomberi makaliru ga kulinemeziya hawadayi na kulila shipindi pawawona lyosi lya lushi lulii lwankulungula kwakuwi.
Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.
10 Wankugoloka kwa kutali toziya ya kutila ntabiku yakuwi na kulonga, “Shodi! Shodi kwa gwenga lushi lukulu, gwee Babiloni, lushi lwalumanika na lwaluwera na makakala! Kwa shipindi sha saa yimu azabu yaku yankwiza.”
In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, the mighty city of Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
11 Watenda byashala wa pasipanu hawalili na kwinginika, toziya kwahera muntu yakahemera kayi vintu vyawu,
And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo—
12 kwahera kayi gwa kuhemera zahabu yawu na mpiya na vintu vya kunyawa kwa mabuwi vya beyi nkulu na lulu na shitani na nguwu ya langi ya zambalawu na zya halili na nguwu nsheri na vyombu vyoseri vya kila ntambu ya mitera ya gweka na vyombu vyoseri vyavinyawitwi kwa magoli ga ndembu na vintu vyoseri vya mitera ya beyi nkulu na vya shaba na shuma na ng'ereng'eta,
cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
13 mdalasini na viwungu na ubani na manimani na divayi na lipaki na ubumu uherepa wa nganu na nganu na ng'ombi na kondolu na falasi na mbutuka zya kukwega na wamanda wawu na ata makaliru ga wantu.
of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots; of slaves and souls of men.
14 Vintu vyoseri vyagufira guweri navi vyagamira, “Vintu vyoseri vya beyi ngulu na vya kulitumbira hapeni guviwoni kayi!”
And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be seen again.”
15 Watenda byashala yawapatiti ulunda kulawirana na lushi alu, hawagoloki kutali toziya ya lyoga lya ntabika yakuwi. Womberi hawalili na kwinginika,
The merchants who sold these things and grew their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn,
16 pawalonga, “Shodi! Shodi kwa lushi alu lukulu. Guvala nguwu zyazinyawitwi kwa shitani na zya zambalawu na nsheri na Kuliheripiziya kwa zahabu na vintu vyoseri vya kunyawa kwa mabuwi ga beyi nkulu na lulu!
saying: “Woe, woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 Kwa saa yimu hera ulunda waku uwagamira!” Shakapanu walongoziya woseri wa mitumbwi na yawagenda mwanja gwawu na wanamashi na woseri yawatenda byashala kwa njira ya bahali na wagolokiti kwa kutali,
For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor, and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance
18 na pawawoniti lyosi lya motu gulii gwagumlunguziyiti mdala ulii, womberi waliliti kwa kubota, “Hakwenilawiri lushi gambira lushi alu lukulu!”
and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will exclaim.
19 Wagalagata lidika pamituwi yawu pawalira kwa kubota na kudaya pawalonga, “Shodi! Shodi kwa gwenga lushi lukulu! Ndo lushi lweni woseri yawawera na mitumbwi mubahali walunditi kulawirana na ulunda wakuwi, mulisaa limu hera ulunda wakuwi uwuka!”
Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”
20 Mnemeleri kumpindi toziya ya uharibisiwu wakuwi. Mnemeleri wantu wa Mlungu, wantumintumi na wambuyi wa Mlungu! Mlungu kamwazibu toziya ya vitwatira vyakawatenderiti mwenga!
Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.
21 Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yumu, yakawera na makakala kalinyasuliti libuwi likulu lyalilifana na lwala, kalyasiti mubahali pakalonga, “Ntambu ira ayi Babiloni lushi lukulu halibomolwi na kwagamira nakamu.
Then a mighty angel picked up a stone the size of a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be cast down, never to be seen again.
22 Mliru gwa vinubi gwa msambu, mliru gwa wagomba luperembi na wagomba talumbeta hapeni ipikaniriki kayi mngati mwaku. Kwahera fundi gwa ntambu yoseri ilii yakiza kuwoneka kayi mngati mwaku na mliru gwa lwala hapeni lupikiniki kayi mngati mwaku.
And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will never ring out in you again. Nor will any craftsmen of any trade be found in you again, nor the sound of a millstone be heard in you again.
23 Ulangala gwa shikoloboyi hapeni gwoneki kayi mngati mwaku, nemeleru ya ndowa hapeni ipikiniki kayi mngati mwaku. Watenda byashala waku yawaweriti wakulu pasipanu na kwa uhawi waku maisi goseri guwapotoziyiti!”
The light of a lamp will never shine in you again, and the voices of a bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”
24 Lushi lulii lwazibiwitwi toziya ya likosa lya kwita mwazi gwa wambuyi wa Mlungu na wantu woseri wa Mlungu yawalikitulitwi pasipanu.
And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.
