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 there appeared a great sign in heaven--a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
2 Walikukute libunda, nomba mutukashuyo mpwalikuba pepi kutumbuka, walikulila cebo cakubabwa kwa pakutumbuka.
and she being pregnant, cried out in travail, and in pangs, to be delivered.
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 fiery dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven crowns.
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 down a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that when she was delivered 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 masculine son, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and he child was suddenly taken up 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 had a place prepared by God, that she might there be nourished one 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 made war against the dragon; and the dragon made war, and his angels:
8 nomba Shinshimwe ne bangelo baco balakomwa, nkabalasuminishiwa kwikala mumusena wabo kwilu.
nevertheless, they did not prevail, neither was place found for them 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 thus the great dragon was cast out; even the old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the world, was cast out to 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 saying, in heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast out, who accused them before our God day and night.
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 have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the 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 who inhabit them. But woe to those who inhabit the earth and the sea; for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, 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 out on the earth, he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the masculine 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 there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, to her place; where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face 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 stream:
16 Nomba cishi capanshi calamunyamfwa mutukashi, calacaluka ne kumina menshi ngocalapomona cishinshimwe mu mulomo waco.
and the earth opened its mouth, and drank up the flood which 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 enraged against the woman, and went away to make war against the remainder of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and retain the testimony of Jesus Christ.
