Ulusetulilo 17
1 Jumo ughwa vanyamola lekela lubale alyale ni fitasa fiila lekela lubale akisa na pikum'bula, “Isa, nikukusona uluhighilo lwa mbwafu u m'baha juno ikukala mumalenga minga,
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who sits on the many waters,
2 juno ava tua va iisi vavombile naghwoope isa vuvwafu na muluhuje lwa muvuvwafu vwa mweene vano vikukala mu iisi vaghalile.”
with whom the kings of the earth fornicated; and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 Umunyamola akanoola mu mepo mpaaka kulukuve, nilya m'bwene u mwana mama ikalile pakyanya pa ng'anu indangali juno amemile amatavua agha nyamaligho. Ing'anu jilyale na maatu lekela lubale namapembe kijigho.
So he took me away in spirit to a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Umwana mama alyafwasivue amenda gha sambalau ni ndangali apambilue ni sahabu amavue gha lutogo, ni lulu. Alyakolelile muluvoko lwa mweene ulwa sahabukino kimemile ifiinu fino fikalasia nhu vunyali vwa vuvwafu vwa mweene.
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
5 Pavweni vwa mwene lilembilue ilitavua lya vusyefu: “BABELI UM'BAHa, GHWE NG'INA GHWA VAMALAYA NI FINU FINO FIKARASI MU IISI.”
And on her forehead a name was written: “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the prostitutes and the abominations of the earth.”
6 Nikalula kuuti umwanamama uju akaghalile idanda ja vitiki ni danda javano valyafwile vwimila u Yesu. Unsiki ghuno nilyam'bwene, nikadeghile kyongo.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, even with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And upon seeing her I was tremendously impressed.
7 Looli umunyamola akam'bula, “Kiki ghudegha? Nikukwolelela uvu mama kye kiinu kiki nu ng'aanu ikuntokla (ing'aanu ijio jinyamaatu lekela lubale namapembe ghala kijigho).
So the angel said to me: “Why are you impressed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast, having the seven heads and the ten horns, that carries her.
8 Ing'anu jino ukajivwene pwejikale, nakwejili kange lino, looli jiling'anisie kuhuma mu lina linlo lisila vusililo. Kange jighendelelaghe kuvomba uvunangi. Kuvala vano vikukala mu iisi, vala vano amatavua gha vanave naghalembilue mukitabu ikya vwuumi kuhuma livikua ulwalo lwa iisi - vilidegha pano vikujivona ing'anu jino pwiili, kuuti na pe jiili lino, looli alipipi pikwisa. (Abyssos g12)
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the Abyss and to go into perdition. And those who dwell upon the earth will be amazed, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not and will be present. (Abyssos g12)
9 Ing'emelo iiji vwimila vwa haala sino sivungike. Amaatu lekela lubale ni fidunda lekela lubale pano umwana mama alikalile lakyanya pa fyeene.
Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10 Joope kange ve vaatua lekela lubale. Ava tua vahano vaghwile, jumo kwale, jumo akyale na isile; unsiki ghuno ikwisa, ikukala unsiki n'debe.
And there are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not come yet. And whenever he comes he must continue a short time.
11 Ing'anu jino kwejilyale, looli lino napwiili, kange ghwe ntua ghwa lekela kwooni, looli ghwe jumo na vutua lekela lubale, kange iluta kuvunangi.
And the beast that was and is not; he is actually the eighth, yet he is of the seven, and he is going into perdition.
12 Amapembe ghala kijigho ghano akaghavweene ve vatua kijigho vano navupiile uvutua, looli vikwupila uvutavulilua hwene vatua ku kivalilo kimo palikimo ni ng'anu.
And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the Beast for one hour.
13 Ava vali nu n'kolo ghumo pevikupela ingufu sa vanave nuvutavulilua vwa ng'aanu jiila.
These are of one mind and give their power and authority to the Beast.
14 Vilua ililugu avene nu mwana ng'olo. Looli umwanang'olo ikuvalefia ulwakuva Mutwa ghwa vatua Ntua ghwa vatua - mwamwene tukemelilue, tusalulivue, vapesie.”
They will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”
15 Umunyamola akam'bula, “Amalenga ghala ghano akaghavwene, pala pano akikalileumalaya jula ve vaanhu, fupugha, fisina ni njovele.
Then he says to me: “The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.
16 Amapembe ghala kijigho ghano aka ghavwene - ni ng'aanu jila vikusulagha u malaya juula. Voope vikum'bikagha mwene kange vufula, vilisagha um'biili ghwa mwene, pe vinyanyilila nu mwooto.
And the ten horns that you saw, also the beast, these will hate the whore and will lay her waste and strip her and eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17 Ulwakuva u Nguluve avikile mu mojo gha vanave kum'pinda uluhuvilo lwa mwene ku lwiting'ano ulwakujipela ing'ano ingufu sivanave pikun'ema m'paka amasio gha Nguluve ghiiliva ghikwilana.
Because God put it into their hearts to perform His purpose, even to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the Beast, until the words of God should be fulfilled.
18 Umwanamama jula juno alyam'bwene lye likaja lila ilivaha lino litemile uvutua vwa iisi.”
Now the woman whom you saw is the great city that holds rulership over the kings of the earth.
