Oufunuo 18
1 Bada eyevintu evi ehalolile ontumi owamwabho ahwiha pansi afume amwanya. Omwene ali na madalaka amagosi, na pansi palabhilwe nowuzuvyo wakwe.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 Alilile husauti engosi, wayanga, “Ongwiye, ogwiye, lilaiboma igosi Babeli! Ulisehemu yagakhala amapepo, ne sehemu pekhala kila empepo enchafu ne sehemu yakhala nchafu ne nyonyi yevisya.
He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
3 Hwa huje amataifa gonti gamwelile amakholwe egensongwe eyemalaya wakwe gashele gahuletela egadhabu. Hwa mwene bhensi. Bhabhombile omalaya nawo. Bhabhabhombile ebiashala hunsi bhali matajili hunguvu yemaisha yakwe eyekhatwe.”
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
4 Nantele ehonvwa esauti eyamwabho afume amwanya eyanga, “Epihwa mwene bhantu bhane, aje msahenze mgabha pandwemo hudhambe zyakwe aje msahenze mweje amakhomo gakwe gogonti.
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
5 Edhambe zyakwe zilondene pamwanya nashi emwanya no Ngolobhe ayizushe embombo yakwe embibhi.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Lipi nanshi sabhalipile abhanje, namlipe mala habhele nanshi salengenye hushikombe shashisangenye, sanganyizi mala habhele kwajili yakwe.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Nanshi shahwizuvya omwene yoyo, akheye hushitagwe, pelaji amayemba gaminji ne nsebho. Afwataje ayanga hu mwoyo gwakwe, 'Eheye nanshi oshe wa mwene, sagaofwele; wala sembalole enzondo.'
However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
8 Hwesho mhati eisiku limo ehomo zyakwe zyaihuletela: efwo, nenzondo, nenzala. Abhalongolezeweno mwoto, afwatanaje Ogosi Ongolobhe we nguvu, yalonga hwa mwene.”
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burnt with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Amwene ebhensi bhabhabhombile omalaya na zyalangane pandwemo nomwene bhailila na ahuzondele nabhailola ilyosi nalongolele wakwe.
The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 Bhayemelela patali no mwene, eshayete naabhawe hwakwe bhayanga, “Palwabho, palwabho hwiboma igosi, Babeli, iboma elye nguvu! Hwisala limo alongwe hwaho hwenzele.”
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgement has come in one hour.’
11 Afanyabiashara ebhensi lilaji nazonde hujili yakwe, afwatanaje nomo hata omo yakala evintu vyakwe nantele -
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
12 evintu vye dhahabu, ehela, amawe egethamani, elulu, ekitani enyinza, ezambalau, ehalili, enshamwamu, ehaina zyonti ezye makwi ezyenunsi ogwinza, shila shombo, eshempeta, eyetembo shila shombo shashilenganyiziwe, namakwiege thamani eshaba, ijela, iwe,
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 emdasini, evilongo, ouvumba, emanemane, evilozu, amafuta, owusu, ogwinza, engano, eng'ombe ne gole, efalasi na magali, na sontezo, ne mpepo ezya bhantu.
and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 Endondo zyozilishe hunguvu zyaho zisogoye afumehuliwe entego zyaho zyonti namapambo gasogoye, segaibhoyela nantele.
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
15 Afanyabiashala ebhevintu evi bhashele bhapete otajili hunsongwo zyakwe bhayemelela hutali afume hwa mwene husababu yewoga wabhabho zyakwe, balila ne sauti eyenzondo.
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 Bhayanga, “Palwabho, palwabho ibomalila igosi wawukwete, omwenda ogwnza, ozambalau, noshamwamu, pambe hudhahabu, nevintu eve thamani ne lulu!”
saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 Mhati yisala limo otajili wonti owu wahepile shila yagomba emeli shila yayinjie, na bhonti ebhemenze na bhonti bhabhabhomba embombo mnsombe, bhebhemeleye patali.
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 Bhalilile nabhololile ilyosi lyalihulongolezya omwene. Bhayanga, “Liboma anshilyalilengana niboma eli igosi?”
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
19 Bhaponyizye amankondi mmatwegabho, nabhalilile, gabhafuma amansozi na zonde, “Palwabho, palwabho iboma igosi paponti bhabhali nemele zyabho mnsombe bhali bhatajili afumilane ne mali zyakwe. Mhati mwisala limo ugogwilwe.”
They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
20 “Songwi pamwanya yakwe, pibhengo, amwe webhelweteho, mwasontetezo, namwakuwa, kwaana Ongolobhe aletile endongo yenyu pamwanya pakwe!”
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgement on her.”
21 Ontumi owe nguvu abhosezye iwe nanshi iwe igosi elyasyele aliponyizye mnsombi, wayanga, “Hwidala eli, Babeli, lila iboma igosi, gubhaponywe pansi eshehu katili nantele hulimwe.
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 Esauti eyenonji, ebheng'oma, bhabha hwanga efilimbi, hata tsalamu wawonti saga ayibhoheha hulimwe. Hata sauti eshe nonji sehaionvwewa hulimwe.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 Omwanga owetala sewailabha mhati yakwe. Esauti ya bwana harusi nobibi harusi sezya yonvwehwa nantele, maana afwanya biashala bhao bhali bhagosi bhensi ne bhe mataifa, bhakhopelewe hwitonga lyaho.
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 Mhati yakwe idanda elyakuwa na abhe lweteho lyabhoneshe, ni danda lya bhonti bhabhafwiye pamwanya ya pansi.”
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
