Oufunuo 17
1 Owamwabho wa ontumi saba yaline vitasa saba ohwinzele nambozye, “Enza, embahulanje endonje ezya malaya ogosi yakhala mmenze aminji,
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come; I will show to thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth 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 have committed acts of immorality, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her immorality.
3 Ontumi wanega hu Mpepo paka hwipoli nalolile oshe akheye pamwanya pamnyama oshamwamu yamemile endigo. Omnyama yalinamatwe saba nempeta kumi.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of 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 arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her immorality:
5 Pamwanya pa maso gakwe lisimbilye itawa elye sili: “BABELI ENGOSI, ONYINA OWE MALAYA NO WE VINTU EVYA VISYE EVYENSI.”
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND 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 drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder.
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, Why 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 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 that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)
9 Owito owu huajili yehaki zyazili ne mpyana. Amatwe saba magamba saba pashele oshe akheye pamwanya pakwe.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
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 are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short time.
11 Omnyama yahali, eshinomo wape nantele, mwene wa nane; lelo wamwabho nabhala amwene saba, naabhala hwahwuli hwunankanye.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth 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 thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 Ebha bhali noshauli humo, bhabha hupele enguvu zyabho namadalaka ola omnyama.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength 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 shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 O Malaika wambozya, “Gala amenze gogalolile, epa pakheye ola omalaya bhantu amakhomano, amataifa ne njango.
And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, 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 thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 Maana Ongolobhe abheshele humoyo gabho anyemle husudi humweteho yahupele omnyama enguvu zyabho ahutabhale paka amazu ga Ngolobhe pagabhamalishe.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and 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 thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
