< Kuyubulula 12 >
1 Lino kayi cingashilo cinene ciyosha calaboneka mwilu. Kwalaboneka mutukashi walikuba wafwala lisuba, walikuba wekala kali walyata myendo yakendi pa mwenshi, ku mutwi walikuba wafwala cishoti ca bwami cikute nyenyenshi likumi ne shibili.
And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun; and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars;
2 Walikukute libunda, nomba mutukashuyo mpwalikuba pepi kutumbuka, walikulila cebo cakubabwa kwa pakutumbuka.
and, being with child, she cried out in travail, and in the pains of delivery.
3 Lino kayi cingashilo nacimbi calaboneka mwilu. Ndalabona cishinshimwe cinene calikukute mitwi isanu ne ibili ne meca likumi kayi ne tushoti tusanu ne tubili twa bwami ku mutwi umo ne umo.
And there appeared another sign in heaven; and behold, a great dragon, fiery-red, that had seven heads, and ten horns: and on his heads seven diadems.
4 Mucila waco walakulumuna mbasu shitatu sha nyenyenshi mwilu ne kushiwala pa cishi capanshi. Cishinshimwe ico calatankamana kuntangu pepi ne mutukashi kwambeti atumbukowa cimulye mwana.
And his tail drew along the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that, when she had brought forth, he might devour her child.
5 Usa mutukashi walatumbuka mwana mutuloba, eshakendeleshe mishobo yonse ne nkoli ya cela. Nomba mwanoyo walasompolwa ne kutwalwa kuli Lesa kuya kwikala pa cipuna cakendi ca bwami.
And she brought forth a male child, that was to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught away to God, even to his throne.
6 Neye mutukashi walafwambila ku cinyika, uko Lesa nkwalamubambila musena wakumulelelako kwa masuba cina cimo ne myanda ibili ne makumi asanu ne limo.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there for a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 Lino nkondo yalabalamuka kwilu. Mikayeli ne bangelo bakendi balalwana ne Shinshimwe, nendi Shinshimwe walikuba ne bangelo bakendi balalwanisha,
And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
8 nomba Shinshimwe ne bangelo baco balakomwa, nkabalasuminishiwa kwikala mumusena wabo kwilu.
and prevailed not: nor was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Cishinshimwe cinene calawalwa panshi, Shinshimwe wakaindi mwipishi ukute kukwiweti Satana, Muyungaushi wacishi capanshi conse. Balaciwala pa cishi capanshi pamo ne bangelo bakendi.
And the great dragon, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world, was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Pa cindi copeleco, ndalanyumfwa liswi lyakompolola kwilu akwambeti, Lino Lesa latupulushu! Lesa laleshe ngofu shakendi sha Bwami! Lino neye Wananikwa laleshe bwendeleshi bwakendi! Pakwinga usa wemananga pa menso a Lesa wetu, Wabepeshelanga banse betu pamenso a Lesa munshi ne mashiku lawalwa pa cishi capanshi.
And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: Now has come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren, he that accused them before our God day and night, is cast down.
11 Banse betu balamukomo cebo ca milopa ya Mwana Mbelele kayi ne cancine ncine ncebali kukambauka. Balikuba balibambila kuyaba buyumi bwabo pacindi ncebali kulangana ne lufu.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives even to death.
12 “Neco kokondwa obe kwilu, ne mwense mwekala kwiluko! Nsombi malele kuli njamwe mwekala pa cishi capanshi ne pa lwenje! Muyungaushi, lesa uko panshi kulinjamwe, wesula ne bukalu pakwinga ucinsheti kacindi nikang'ana kalamushalili.”
Therefore, rejoice you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Alas for the land and for the sea! for the devil has come down to you with great anger, because he knows that he has but a short time.
13 Lino cishinshimwe mpocalenshibeti cilawalwa pa cishi capanshi, calatatika kukonka usa mutukashi walatumbuka mwana mutuloba.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast into the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the male child.
14 Mutukashuyo walapewa mapepe abili alyeti acikumbula munene, kwambeti acikonshe kuluka kuya ku musena wakendi ku cinyika. Nkwalakalelwa cena kwa byaka bitatu ne cintimbwi kuyuba cishinshimwe cisa.
And two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, away from the presence of the serpent.
15 Lino cishinshimwe pakukonka mutukashi calapomona menshi angi mu mulomo waco alabeti mulonga kwambeti mutukashi usa enga ne menshi.
And the serpent threw out of his mouth water like a river, after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16 Nomba cishi capanshi calamunyamfwa mutukashi, calacaluka ne kumina menshi ngocalapomona cishinshimwe mu mulomo waco.
And the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river that the dragon threw out of his mouth.
17 Ici ecalapesheti cishinshimwe cikalale cikamba ne mutukashi usa, neco calaya kulwana ne banabendi mutukashi kayi ne bantu bonse balanyumfwilinga milawo ya Lesa abo bashoma cancinencine calayubululwa ne Yesu.
And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her children, that keep the commandments of God, and that hold the testimony of Jesus.
