Ufunuo 18
1 Baada ya hayo, nilimwona malaika mwingine akishuka kutoka mbinguni. Alikuwa na uwezo mkuu, na dunia ikamulikwa na mng'ao wake.
Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην· καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.
2 Basi, akapaaza sauti kwa nguvu akisema, “Umeanguka; Babuloni mkuu umeanguka! Sasa umekuwa makao ya mashetani na pepo wachafu; umekuwa makao ya ndege wachafu na wa kuchukiza mno.
καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν ἰσχυρᾷ φωνῇ, λέγων, Ἔπεσεν Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, καὶ ἐγένετο κατοικητήριον δαιμονίων, καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς πνεύματος ἀκαθάρτου, καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς ὀρνέου ἀκαθάρτου καὶ μεμισημένου·
3 Maana mataifa yote yalileweshwa kwa divai kali ya uzinzi wake, nao wafalme wa dunia wamefanya uzinzi naye. Nao wafanyabiashara wa dunia wametajirika kutokana na anasa zake zisizo na kipimo.”
ὅτι ἐκ [τοῦ οἴνου] τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς πέπτωκαν 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 nikasikia sauti nyingine kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Watu wangu, ondokeni kwake, ili msishirikiane naye katika dhambi zake, msije mkaipata adhabu yake.
Καὶ ἤκουσα ἄλλην φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσαν, Ἐξέλθατε ἐξ αὐτῆς ὁ λαός μου, ἵνα μὴ συγκοινωνήσητε ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς ἵνα μὴ λάβητε·
5 Kwa maana dhambi zake zimekuwa nyingi mno, zimelundikana mpaka mbinguni, na Mungu ameyakumbuka maovu yake.
ὅτι ἐκολλήθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐμνημόνευσεν ὁ θεὸς τὰ ἀδικήματα αὐτῆς.
6 Mtendeeni kama alivyowatendea ninyi; mlipeni mara mbili kwa yale aliyoyatenda. Jazeni kikombe chake kwa kinywaji kikali mara mbili zaidi ya kile alichowapeni.
ἀπόδοτε αὐτῇ ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκεν καὶ διπλώσατε τὰ διπλᾶ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς· ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασεν, κεράσατε αὐτῇ διπλοῦν.
7 Mpeni mateso na uchungu kadiri ya kujigamba kwake, na kuishi kwake kwa anasa. Maana anajisemea moyoni: Ninaketi hapa; mimi ni malkia. Mimi si mjane, wala sitapatwa na uchungu!
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 sababu hiyo mabaa yake yatampata kwa siku moja: ugonjwa, huzuni na njaa. Atachomwa moto, maana Bwana Mungu mwenye kumhukumu ni Mwenye Uwezo.”
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 Dunia waliofanya uzinzi naye na kuishi naye maisha ya anasa wataomboleza na kulia wakati watakapoona moshi wa mji huo unaoteketea.
καὶ κλαύσουσιν καὶ κόψονται ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτῆς πορνεύσαντες καὶ στρηνιάσαντες, ὅταν βλέπωσιν τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς,
10 Wanasimama kwa mbali kwa sababu ya kuogopa mateso yake, na kusema, “Ole! Ole kwako Babuloni, mji maarufu na wenye nguvu! Kwa muda wa saa moja tu adhabu yako imekupata.”
ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑστηκότες διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς, λέγοντες, Οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη Βαβυλών, ἡ πόλις ἡ ἰσχυρά, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου.
11 Wafanyabiashara wa dunia watalia na kumfanyia matanga, maana hakuna mtu anayenunua tena bidhaa zao;
καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς κλαίουσιν καὶ πενθοῦσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν, ὅτι τὸν γόμον αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἀγοράζει οὐκέτι·
12 hakuna tena wa kununua dhahabu yao, fedha, mawe ya thamani na lulu, kitani na nguo za rangi ya zambarau, hariri na nguo nyekundu; vyombo vya kila aina ya miti ya pekee, vyombo vya pembe za ndovu, vya miti ya thamani kubwa, vya shaba, chuma na marmari;
γόμον χρυσοῦ, καὶ ἀργύρου, καὶ λίθου τιμίου, καὶ μαργαριτῶν, καὶ βυσσίνου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ σηρικοῦ, 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, ubani, manemane, udi, divai, mafuta, unga na ngano, ng'ombe na kondoo, farasi na magari ya kukokotwa, watumwa wao na hata maisha ya 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 Wafanyabiashara wanamwambia: “Faida yote uliyotazamia imetoweka, na utajiri na fahari vimekuponyoka; hutaweza kuvipata tena!”
καὶ ἡ ὀπώρα σου τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ λιπαρὰ καὶ τὰ λαμπρὰ ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ αὐτὰ εὑρήσουσιν.
15 Wafanya biashara waliotajirika kutokana na mji huo, watasimama mbali kwa sababu ya hofu ya mateso yake, watalalamika na kuomboleza,
οἱ ἔμποροι τούτων οἱ πλουτήσαντες ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν στήσονται διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς, κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες,
16 wakisema, “Ole! Ole kwa mji huu mkuu. Ulizoea kuvalia nguo za kitani, za rangi ya zambarau na nyekundu, na kujipamba kwa dhahabu, mawe ya thamani na lulu!
λέγοντες, Οὐαὶ οὐαὶ ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ περιβεβλημένη βύσσινον καὶ πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον, καὶ κεχρυσωμένη χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίτῃ·
17 Kwa saa moja tu utajiri wako umetoweka!” Halafu manahodha wote na wasafiri wao, wanamaji na wote wanaofanya kazi baharini, walisimama kwa 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 na walipouona moshi wa moto ule uliouteketeza, wakalia kwa sauti: “Hakujapata kuwako mji kama mji huu mkuu!”
καὶ ἔκραζαν, βλέποντες τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς, λέγοντες, Τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ;
19 Wakajimwagia vumbi juu ya vichwa vyao wakilia kwa sauti na kuomboleza: “Ole! Ole kwako mji mkuu! Ni mji ambamo wote wenye meli zisafirizo baharini walitajirika kutokana na utajiri wake. Kwa muda wa saa moja tu umepoteza kila kitu!”
καὶ ἔβαλον χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔκραζον κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες λέγοντες, Οὐαὶ οὐαὶ ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἐν ᾗ ἐπλούτησαν πάντες οἱ ἔχοντες τὰ πλοῖα ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἐκ τῆς τιμιότητος αὐτῆς, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη.
20 Furahi ee mbingu, kwa sababu ya uharibifu wake. Furahini watu wa Mungu, mitume na manabii! Kwa maana Mungu ameuhukumu kwa sababu ya mambo uliyowatenda ninyi!
εὐφραίνου ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, οὐρανέ, καὶ οἱ ἅγιοι καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ προφῆται, ὅτι ἔκρινεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ κρίμα ὑμῶν ἐξ αὐτῆς.
21 Kisha malaika mmoja mwenye nguvu sana akainua jiwe mfano wa jiwe kubwa la kusagia, akalitupa baharini akisema, “Ndivyo, Babuloni atakavyotupwa na kupotea kabisa.
Καὶ ἦρεν εἷς ἄγγελος ἰσχυρὸς λίθον ὡς μύλον μέγαν, καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, λέγων, Οὕτως ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη πόλις, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔτι.
22 Sauti za vinubi za muziki, sauti za wapiga filimbi na tarumbeta hazitasikika tena ndani yako. Hakuna fundi wa namna yoyote ile atakayepatikana tena ndani yako; wala sauti ya jiwe la kusagia haitasikika tena ndani yako.
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 hautaonekana tena ndani yako; sauti za bwana arusi na bibi arusi hazitasikika tena ndani yako. Wafanyabiashara wako walikuwa wakuu duniani, na kwa uchawi wako mataifa yote yalipotoshwa!”
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 φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.
24 Mji huo uliadhibiwa kwani humo mlipatikana damu ya manabii, damu ya watu wa Mungu na damu ya watu wote waliouawa duniani.
καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη, καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
