Ufunuo 17
1 Mmoja wa malaika saba aliyekuwa na vitasa saba alikuja na kuniambia, “Njoo, nitakuonesha hukumu ya kahaba mkuu akaaye juu ya maji mengi,
Καὶ ἦλθεν εἷς ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων τῶν ἐχόντων τὰς ἑπτὰ φιάλας, καὶ ἐλάλησε μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ, λέγων, Δεῦρο, δείξω σοι τὸ κρίμα τῆς πόρνης τῆς μεγάλης, τῆς καθημένης ἐπὶ τῶν ὑδάτων τῶν πολλῶν·
2 ambaye wafalme wa nchi wamefanya mambo ya uzinzi naye na juu ya mvinyo wa uzinzi wake wakaao duniani wameleweshwa.”
μεθ᾽ ἧς ἐπόρνευσαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐμεθύσθησαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς.
3 Malaika akanichukua katika Roho mpaka nyikani, na nilimwona mwanamke amekaa juu ya mnyama mwekundu aliyejaa majina ya matukano. Mnyama alikuwa na vichwa saba na pembe kumi.
Καὶ ἀπήνεγκέ με εἰς ἔρημον ἐν πνεύματι· καὶ εἶδον γυναῖκα καθημένην ἐπὶ θηρίον κόκκινον, γέμον ὀνόματα βλασφημίας, ἔχον κεφαλὰς ἑπτὰ καὶ κέρατα δέκα.
4 Mwanamke alivikwa nguo ya zambarau na nyekundu na amepambwa kwa dhahabu, mawe ya thamani, na lulu. Alikuwa ameshikilia mkononi mwake kikombe cha dhahabu kilichojaa vitu vya machukizo ya uchafu wa uasherati wake.
Καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἦν περιβεβλημένη πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον, κεχρυσωμένη χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίταις, ἔχουσα ποτήριον χρυσοῦν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῆς, γέμον βδελυγμάτων καὶ τὰ ἀκάθαρτα τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς,
5 Juu ya paji la uso wake limeandikwa jina la siri: “BABELI MKUU, MAMA WA MAKAHABA NA YA VITU VYA MACHUKIZO YA NCHI.”
καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτῆς ὄνομα γεγραμμένον, Μυστήριον, Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ μήτηρ τῶν πορνῶν καὶ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῆς γῆς.
6 Nikaona ya kuwa mwanamke huyo alikuwa amelewa kwa damu ya waumini na damu ya waliokufa kwa ajili ya Yesu. Wakati nilipomwona, nilikuwa na mshangao mkuu.
Καὶ εἶδον τὴν γυναῖκα μεθύουσαν ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος τῶν ἁγίων, ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος τῶν μαρτύρων Ἰησοῦ. Καὶ ἐθαύμασα, ἰδὼν αὐτήν, θαῦμα μέγα.
7 Lakini malaika akaniambia, “Kwa nini unashangaa? Nitakueleza maana ya mwanamke na mnyama amchukuaye (mnyama huyo mwenye vichwa saba na zile pembe kumi).
Καὶ εἶπέ μοι ὁ ἄγγελος, Διὰ τί ἐθαύμασας; Ἐγὼ ἐρῶ σοι τὸ μυστήριον τῆς γυναικός, καὶ τοῦ θηρίου τοῦ βαστάζοντος αὐτήν, τοῦ ἔχοντος τὰς ἑπτὰ κεφαλὰς καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα.
8 Mnyama uliyemwona alikuwepo, hayupo tena sasa, lakini yuko tayari kupanda kutoka katika shimo lisilo na mwisho. Kisha ataendelea na uharibifu. Wale wakaao juu ya nchi, wale ambao majina yao hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha uzima tangu kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu - watashangaa wamwonapo mnyama aliyekuwepo, kwamba hayupo sasa, lakini yupo karibu kuja. (Abyssos g12)
Τὸ θηρίον, ὃ εἶδες, ἦν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι, καὶ μέλλει ἀναβαίνειν ἐκ τῆς ἀβύσσου, καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγειν. Καὶ θαυμάσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὧν οὐ γέγραπται τὰ ὀνόματα ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον τῆς ζωῆς ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου, βλεπόντων ὅτι ἦν τὸ θηρίον, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι, καὶ παρέσται. (Abyssos g12)
9 Wito huu ni kwa ajili ya akili zilizo na hekima. Vichwa saba ni milima saba ambapo mwanamke alikaa juu yake.
Ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν. Αἱ ἑπτὰ κεφαλαὶ ἑπτὰ ὄρη εἰσίν, ὅπου ἡ γυνὴ κάθηται ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν.
10 Nayo pia ni wafalme saba. Wafalme watano wameanguka, mmoja yupo, na mwingine hajaja bado; wakati atakapokuja, atakaa kwa muda mfupi tu.
Καὶ βασιλεῖς εἰσιν ἑπτά· οἱ πέντε ἔπεσον, ὁ εἷς ἔστιν, ὁ ἄλλος οὔπω ἦλθε· καί, ὅταν ἔλθῃ, ὀλίγον δεῖ αὐτὸν μεῖναι.
11 Mnyama aliyekuwepo, lakini sasa hayupo, yeye pia ni mfalme wa nane; lakini ni mmoja wa wale wafalme saba, na anaenda kwenye uharibifu.
Καὶ τὸ θηρίον ὃ ἦν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι, καὶ αὐτὸς ὄγδοός ἐστι, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἑπτά ἐστι, καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει.
12 Zile pembe kumi ulizoziona ni wafalme kumi ambao hawajapokea ufalme, lakini watapokea mamlaka kama wafalme kwa saa moja pamoja na mnyama.
Καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα, ἃ εἶδες, δέκα βασιλεῖς εἰσίν, οἵτινες βασιλείαν οὔπω ἔλαβον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐξουσίαν ὡς βασιλεῖς μίαν ὥραν λαμβάνουσι μετὰ τοῦ θηρίου.
13 Hawa wana shauri moja, na watampa nguvu zao na mamlaka yule mnyama.
Οὗτοι μίαν ἔχουσι γνώμην, καὶ τὴν δύναμιν καὶ τὴν ἐξουσίαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ διδόασιν.
14 Watafanya vita baina yao na Mwana kondoo. Lakini Mwana kondoo atawashinda kwa sababu ni Bwana wa mabwana na Mfalme wa wafalme - na katika yeye tuliitwa, tulichaguliwa, waaminifu.”
Οὗτοι μετὰ τοῦ ἀρνίου πολεμήσουσι, καὶ τὸ ἀρνίον νικήσει αὐτούς, ὅτι Κύριος κυρίων ἐστὶ καὶ βασιλεὺς βασιλέων, καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, κλητοὶ καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ καὶ πιστοί.
15 Malaika akaniambia, “Yale maji uliyoyaona, hapo alipoketi yule kahaba ni watu, makutano, mataifa na lugha.
Καὶ λέγει μοι, Τὰ ὕδατα, ἃ εἶδες, οὗ ἡ πόρνη κάθηται, λαοὶ καὶ ὄχλοι εἰσί, καὶ ἔθνη καὶ γλῶσσαι.
16 Zile pembe kumi ulizoziona - hizo na yule mnyama watamchukia yule kahaba. Nao watamfanya kuwa mpweke na uchi, watamla mwili wake, na watauteketeza kwa moto.
Καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα, ἃ εἶδες, καὶ τὸ θηρίον, οὗτοι μισήσουσι τὴν πόρνην, καὶ ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ γυμνὴν ποιήσουσιν αὐτήν, καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται, καὶ αὐτὴν κατακαύσουσιν ἐν πυρί.
17 Maana Mungu ameweka mioyoni mwao kubeba kusudi lake kwa makubaliano ya kumpa mnyama nguvu zao kumtawala mpaka maneno ya Mungu yatakapotimia.
Ὁ γὰρ Θεὸς ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τὴν γνώμην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιῆσαι γνώμην μίαν, καὶ δοῦναι τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ, ἄχρι τελεσθῶσιν οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ.
18 Yule mwanamke uliyemwona ni mji ule mkubwa utawalao juu ya wafalme wa nchi.”
Καὶ ἡ γυνή, ἣν εἶδες, ἔστιν ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν ἐπὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς.
