Oufunuo 17
1 Owamwabho wa ontumi saba yaline vitasa saba ohwinzele nambozye, “Enza, embahulanje endonje ezya malaya ogosi yakhala mmenze aminji,
And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls, came and spoke with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, the one sitting upon many waters:
2 hwashele amwene ebhensi bhabhombile embombo enzye omalaya nape pamwanya yevilozu evwe umalaya wakwe bhabhakhala pansi bhalemewe.”
with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those dwelling upon the earth were made drunk from the wine of her fornication.
3 Ontumi wanega hu Mpepo paka hwipoli nalolile oshe akheye pamwanya pamnyama oshamwamu yamemile endigo. Omnyama yalinamatwe saba nempeta kumi.
And he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, having the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Oshe anvenesewe omwenda ozambalau no shamwamu alenganyiziwe hudhahabu amawe egemali nehulu ali akhatilie mkhono gwakwe eshikombe eshe dhahabu shashimemile evintu evyavishe evye chafu ewe malaya wakwe.
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication:
5 Pamwanya pa maso gakwe lisimbilye itawa elye sili: “BABELI ENGOSI, ONYINA OWE MALAYA NO WE VINTU EVYA VISYE EVYENSI.”
and upon her forehead her name was written; Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots And The Abominations of The Earth.
6 Nalola aje oshe oyo aliakholilwe hwidala elya bheweteho ni danda lya bhafwiye hwaji wa Yesu. Hwa shele ehalolile, ehanswijile tee.
And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and seeing her, I was astonished with great astonishment.
7 Lelo ontumi wambozia, “Yenu oswiga? Embahubhozye emaana eyashe no mnyama yahumwega (omnyama oyo owe matwe saba nazila empeta kumi).
And the angel said to me, Wherefore wast thou astonished? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast which carries her, having the seven heads and ten horns.
8 Omnyama yohalolile ahali, nomo nantele eshi, lelo alitayali azubhe hwilende lyashele selili nomalishilo. Nantele abhawendelele nonankanye bhala bhabhakhala pamwanya pansi bhala bhashele amatwa gabho sega simbilwe hushitabu eshe womi ahwande abhewe omsingi ogwensi - bhaiswiga nabhaluulola omnyama yahali, aje nomo eshi, lelo ali kalibu ahwenze. (Abyssos g12)
The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and go into perdition: and those dwelling upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, seeing the beast, because he was, and is not, and will be. (Abyssos g12)
9 Owito owu huajili yehaki zyazili ne mpyana. Amatwe saba magamba saba pashele oshe akheye pamwanya pakwe.
Here is a mind having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits upon them,
10 Bhape nantele bhamwene saba. Bhamwene bhasanu bhagwiye uwa mwabho aweli, nowamwabho sayenzele asele; owakati nayenza, abhakhale hashe wene.
and there are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, and another is not yet come; and when he may come it behooves him to remain a little while.
11 Omnyama yahali, eshinomo wape nantele, mwene wa nane; lelo wamwabho nabhala amwene saba, naabhala hwahwuli hwunankanye.
The beast which was, and is not, and the same is the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going into perdition.
12 Zila empeta kumi zyohazilolile bhamwene kumi bhashele sebhaposheye oumwene, lelo bhabhaposhele amadalaka nashi mwene hwisala limo pandwemo no mnyama.
And the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, who live not yet received a kingdom; but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
13 Ebha bhali noshauli humo, bhabha hupele enguvu zyabho namadalaka ola omnyama.
These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 Bhabhalweibho nabhene no Mwana Ngole. Lelo Omwana Ngole ayibhamene afwatanaje gosi wa waigosi na mwene wa mwene - na hwa mwene takwiziwe, tachaguliwe, tatiwamiwa.”
These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them, because he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings: and with him are the called, and the elect, and the faithful.
15 O Malaika wambozya, “Gala amenze gogalolile, epa pakheye ola omalaya bhantu amakhomano, amataifa ne njango.
And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 Zila empeta kumi zyozilolile - ezyo nola omnyama bhaihumwega ula omalaya bhape bhabhahubhombe wene na welele bhabhahulye obele gwakwe na bhabha ulongolezye nomwoto.
And the ten horns which you saw and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire;
17 Maana Ongolobhe abheshele humoyo gabho anyemle husudi humweteho yahupele omnyama enguvu zyabho ahutabhale paka amazu ga Ngolobhe pagabhamalishe.
for God has given it into their hearts to do his mind, and to have one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 Ola oshe yalolile liboma igosi wautabhala pamwanya eyamwene ebhensi.”
And the woman whom you saw is the great city, the one having dominion over the kings of the earth.
