1 Baada ya vitu hivi nilimwona malaika mwingine akishuka chini kutoka mbinguni. Yeye alikuwa na mamlaka kuu, na nchi iliangazwa kwa utukufu wake.
Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.
2 Alilia kwa sauti kuu, akisema, “Umeanguka, umeanguka, ule mji mkuu Babeli! Umekuwa sehemu yakaapo mapepo, na sehemu ikaapo kila roho chafu, na sehemu akaapo kila mchafu na ndege achukizaye.
καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν ἰσχυρᾷ φωνῇ λέγων Ἔπεσεν ἔπεσεν Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, καὶ ἐγένετο κατοικητήριον δαιμονίων καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς πνεύματος ἀκαθάρτου καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς ὀρνέου ἀκαθάρτου καὶ μεμισημένου,
3 Kwa kuwa mataifa yote yamekunywa mvinyo ya tamaa ya uasherati wake ambayo humletea ghadhabu. Wafalme wa nchi wamezini naye. Wafanyabiashara wa nchi wamekuwa matajiri kwa nguvu ya maisha yake ya anasa.”
ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς πέπωκαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς μετ’ αὐτῆς ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ στρήνους αὐτῆς ἐπλούτησαν.
4 Kisha nilisikia sauti nyingine kutoka mbinguni iikisema, “Tokeni kwake watu wangu, ili msije mkashiriki katika dhambi zake, na ili msije mkapokea mapigo yake yoyote.
Καὶ ἤκουσα ἄλλην φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσαν Ἐξέλθατε ὁ λαός μου ἐξ αὐτῆς, ἵνα μὴ συνκοινωνήσητε ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς ἵνα μὴ λάβητε·
5 Dhambi zake zimerundikana juu kama mbingu, na Mungu ameyakumbuka matendo yake maovu.
ὅτι ἐκολλήθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐμνημόνευσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὰ ἀδικήματα αὐτῆς.
6 Mlipeni kama alivyowalipa wengine, na mkamlipe mara mbili kwa jinsi alivyotenda; katika kikombe alichokichanganya, mchanganyishieni mara mbili kwa ajili yake.
ἀπόδοτε αὐτῇ ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκεν, καὶ διπλώσατε τὰ διπλᾶ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς· ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασεν κεράσατε αὐτῇ διπλοῦν·
7 Kama alivyojitukuza yeye mwenyewe, na aliishi kwa anasa, mpeni mateso mengi na huzuni. Kwa kuwa husema moyoni mwake, 'Nimekaa kama malkia; wala siyo mjane, na wala sitaona maombolezo.'
ὅσα ἐδόξασεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐστρηνίασεν, τοσοῦτον δότε αὐτῇ βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος. ὅτι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει ὅτι Κάθημαι βασίλισσα καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμί, καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω·
8 Kwa hiyo ndani ya siku moja mapigo yake yatamlemea: kifo, maombolezo, na njaa. Atateketezwa kwa moto, kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu ni mwenye nguvu, na ni mhukumu wake.”
διὰ τοῦτο ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἥξουσιν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῆς, θάνατος καὶ πένθος καὶ λιμός, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται· ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ κρίνας αὐτήν.
9 Wafalme wa nchi waliozini na kuchanganyikiwa pamoja naye watalia na kumwombolezea watakapouona moshi wa kuungua kwake.
καὶ κλαύσουσιν καὶ κόψονται ἐπ’ αὐτὴν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς οἱ μετ’ αὐτῆς πορνεύσαντες καὶ στρηνιάσαντες, ὅταν βλέπωσιν τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς,
10 Watasimama mbali naye, kwa hofu ya maumivu yake wakisema, “Ole, ole kwa mji mkuu, Babeli, mji wenye nguvu! Kwa saa moja hukumu yako imekuja.”
ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑστηκότες διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς, λέγοντες Οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, Βαβυλὼν ἡ πόλις ἡ ἰσχυρά, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου.
11 Wafanyabiashara wa nchi lieni na kuomboleza kwa ajili yake, kwa kuwa hakuna hata mmoja anunuaye bidhaa zake tena -
καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς κλαίουσιν καὶ πενθοῦσιν ἐπ’ αὐτήν, ὅτι τὸν γόμον αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἀγοράζει οὐκέτι,
12 bidhaa za dhahabu, fedha, mawe ya thamani, lulu, kitani nzuri, zambarau, hariri, nyekundu, aina zote za miti ya harufu nzuri, kila chombo cha pembe za ndovu, kila chombo kilichotengenezwa kwa miti ya thamani, shaba, chuma, jiwe,
γόμον χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀργύρου καὶ λίθου τιμίου καὶ μαργαριτῶν καὶ βυσσίνου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ σιρικοῦ καὶ κοκκίνου, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐκ ξύλου τιμιωτάτου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μαρμάρου,
13 mdalasini, viungo, uvumba, manemane, ubani, mvinyo, mafuta, unga mzuri, ngano, ng'ombe na kondoo, farasi na magari, na watumwa, na roho za watu.
καὶ κιννάμωμον καὶ ἄμωμον καὶ θυμιάματα καὶ μύρον καὶ λίβανον καὶ οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ σεμίδαλιν καὶ σῖτον καὶ κτήνη καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ ἵππων καὶ ῥεδῶν καὶ σωμάτων, καὶ ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων.
14 Matunda uliyoyatamani kwa nguvu zako yameondoka kutoka kwako. Anasa zako zote na mapambo yametoweka, hayatapatikana tena.
καὶ ἡ ὀπώρα σου τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ λιπαρὰ καὶ τὰ λαμπρὰ ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ αὐτὰ εὑρήσουσιν.
15 Wafanyabiashara wa vitu hivi waliopata utajiri kwa mapenzi yake watasimama mbali kutoka kwake kwa sababu ya hofu ya maumivu yake, wakilia na sauti ya maombolezo.
οἱ ἔμποροι τούτων, οἱ πλουτήσαντες ἀπ’ αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν στήσονται διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες,
16 Wakisema, “Ole, ole mji ule mkuu uliovikwa kitani nzuri, zambarau, na nyekundu, na kupambwa kwa dhahabu, na vito vya thamani na lulu!”
λέγοντες Οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ περιβεβλημένη βύσσινον καὶ πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον, καὶ κεχρυσωμένη ἐν χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίτῃ,
17 Ndani ya saa moja utajiri wote huo ulitoweka. Kila nahodha wa meli, kila baharia, na wote wanamaji, na wote wafanyao kazi baharini, walisimama mbali.
ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος. καὶ πᾶς κυβερνήτης καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἐπὶ τόπον πλέων καὶ ναῦται καὶ ὅσοι τὴν θάλασσαν ἐργάζονται, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν
18 Walilia walipouona moshi wa kuungua kwake. Walisema, “Ni mji gani unafanana na mji huu mkubwa?”
καὶ ἔκραζον βλέποντες τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς λέγοντες Τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ;
19 Walitupa mavumbi juu ya vichwa vyao, na walilia, wakitokwa machozi na kuomboleza, “Ole, ole mji mkubwa mahali wote waliokuwa na meli zao baharini walikuwa matajiri kutokana na mali zake. Ndani ya saa moja umeangamizwa.”
καὶ ἔβαλον χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκραζον κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες, λέγοντες Οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἐν ᾗ ἐπλούτησαν πάντες οἱ ἔχοντες τὰ πλοῖα ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἐκ τῆς τιμιότητος αὐτῆς, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη.
20 “Furahini juu yake, mbingu, ninyi waumini, mitume, na manabii, kwa maana Mungu ameleta hukumu yenu juu yake!”
Εὐφραίνου ἐπ’ αὐτῇ, οὐρανέ καὶ οἱ ἅγιοι καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ προφῆται, ὅτι ἔκρινεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ κρίμα ὑμῶν ἐξ αὐτῆς.
21 Malaika mwenye nguvu aliinua jiwe kama jiwe kuu la kusagia na alilitupa baharini, akisema, “Kwa njia hii, Babeli, ule mji mkuu, utatupwa chini kwa ukatili na hautaonekana tena.
Καὶ ἦρεν εἷς ἄγγελος ἰσχυρὸς λίθον ὡς μύλινον μέγαν, καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν λέγων Οὕτως ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη πόλις, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔτι.
22 Sauti ya vinanda, wanamuziki, wacheza filimbi, na tarumbeta hawatasikika tena kwenu. Wala fundi wa aina yoyote hataonekana kwenu. Wala sauti ya kinu haitasikika tena kwenu.
καὶ φωνὴ κιθαρῳδῶν καὶ μουσικῶν καὶ αὐλητῶν καὶ σαλπιστῶν οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ πᾶς τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ μύλου οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι,
23 Mwanga wa taa hautaangaza ndani yako. Sauti ya bwana harusi na bibi harusi hazitasikiwa tena ndani yako, maana wafanyabiashara wako walikuwa wakuu wa nchi, na wa mataifa, wamedanganywa kwa uchawi wako.
καὶ φῶς λύχνου οὐ μὴ φάνῃ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ νύμφης οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι· ὅτι οἱ ἔμποροί σου ἦσαν οἱ μεγιστᾶνες τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἐν τῇ φαρμακίᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη,
24 Ndani yake damu ya manabii na waamini ilionekana, na damu ya wote waliouawa juu ya nchi.”
καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
