Ulusetulilo 18
1 Ye fikilile fyoni ifi nikabwene umunyamola ujunge ikwika paasi kuhuma kukyanya. Umwene alyale nuvutavulilua uvuvaha, na ji iisi jikamulikue nhu vwimike vwaa mwene.
After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 Alyalilile nilisio ilivaha, akajova, “Ghughwile, ghughwile, ilikaja ilivaha ilya Babeli! Ulivukale vwa Mipepo, kange panosikukala imhepo indamafu soni, kange napano vikukala avanyali voni nikijuni kino kikalasia.
And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 Ulwakuva ifisina fyooni finywile uluhuje nhuvunoghelua vwea vuvwafu vwamweene vuno vukum'pelelela ing'alasi. Avatua va mu iisi va vwafuike naghwoope. Navanyaduka vooni vooni va mu iisi vakavile uvuvwafu ku ngufu sa mikalile gha mwene gha vunoghelua.”
For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.
4 Kange nikapulika ilisio ilinge kuhuma kukyanya liiti, “Vukagha kwa mwene mwe vaanhu vango, ulwakuuti mulihasing'ana mumakole gha mwene, ulwakuuti muleke pikuvupila imumuko sa mwene sooni.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:
5 Inyali sa mwene simemeleng'ine kukyanya heene vulanga, naju Nguluve asikumbwike imbombo sa mwene imbivi.
for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Mumombaghe ndavule akavahombile avange, kange muhombaghe mugomokaghe kaviili ndavule akavombile; mukikombe kino akahasing'inie, mumanikiiaghe kaviili ulwa mweene.
Render unto her even as she rendered, and double [unto her] the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double.
7 Ndavule akighinisie jujuo mwene, kange akikalile nulunomo, mum'pelaghe imumuko nyinga na kusukunala. Ulwakuva ijova mu mwoojo ghwa mwene, nikalile hwene minja Ntua; kange nanilimfwile, nambe na kwande nikukwagha kulila.'
How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning.
8 Pa uluobmu n'kate mukighono kimo imumuko sa mwene sikumulemagha: Vufue, ikililo, nhi njala, itangukagha nu mwooto, ulwakuva u Mutwa u Nguluve ghwe nyangufu, kange ghwe mighi ghwa mwene.”
Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her.
9 Avatua va iisi vano vakavwafwike na kuhasiling'ana palikimo nu mwene viliilagha na pikung'ulasia pano kwande vikulivona ilyosi ilyakupia umweene.
And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning,
10 Vikwima patali numwene, ku vwoghofi vwa vuvafi vwa mwene vitisagha, “Iiga, iiga kulikaja ilivaha, Babeli, ilikaja ilinyangufu! Ku kivalilo kimo uluhighilo lwako lwisile.”
standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 Vanyaduka va iisi mulilaghe na pikung'ulasia vwimila u mwene, ulwakuva nakwale nambe jumo juno ighula ifinu fya mwene kange -
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more;
12 ifiinu ifya sahabu, indalama, amavue agha lutogo, lulu, ugolole um'balafu, izambalau, umwene nda ghuno ghutetema, ndangali, amapiki ghoni ghono ghinukila vunofu, ifivombelo fyoni ifya mapembe gha jungua, ifyombo fyoni fino fitendilue namapiki gha lutogo, shahaba, kyuma, ilivue,
merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 Mdalasini, ifilungo, vufumba, manemane, vubani, uluhuje, amafuta, uvutine uvunono, ingano, ing'ombe ni ng'olo, ifarasi ni gale, na vakami, ni numbula sa vaanhu.
and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and [merchandise] of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men.
14 Imeke sino ukasinoghilue ni ngufu saako sivukile kuhuma kulyuve. Uvunoghelua vwaako vwooni nhu vunonofivikile, nafilavoneka kange.
And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and [men] shall find them no more at all.
15 Vano vighusia ifiinu ifi vano vakavile uvumofu muvughane vwamwene vikwimagha kuvutali kuhuma kwa mwene vwimila vwa vwoghofi vwa mumuko saa mwene, vilila nilisio lya kung'ulasia.
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
16 Viiti, “Iga, iga kulikaja ilivaha ghwe juno ifwikilue ugolole unono, sambalau, ni ndangali, na kunosevua ni sahabu, ni finu ifya lutogo ni lulu!”
saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl!
17 Mun'kate mu sala jimo uvumofu vwooni uvuo vukikalile. Avaghendesia meli vooni, kange avoghelelelaji va mubahari na vooni vano vivomba imbombo mu nyanja, valyimile patali.
for in one hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any whither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,
18 Valyalilile ye vikulivona ilyosi ilyakupia umwene. Vakaati, “Likaja liliku lino liwanana nilikaja iili ilivaha?”
and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city] is like the great city?
19 Vakitaghile iling'undi pa matu gha vanave, pe vakalila, vakahumagha amahosi na pikung'ulisia, “Iiga, iiga ghwelikaja ilivaha mwonimwoni vano valyale ni meli saave mu nyanja valyale vamofu vwimila vwa kyuma kya mwene. Mun'kate mu sala jimo vitipulue.”
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all that had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 “Mukelaghe khu lwa mwene, vulanga, umwue vitiki, mweva sun'gua navavili, ulwakuva u Nguluve aletile uluhighilo lwa mwene pa ulu!”
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
21 Umunyamola unyangufu alyanyanywile ilivue hweene livuhe ilivaha ilya kuhavulila kange akatagha mu nyanja, akaatisagha, “Kusila iiji, Babeli, ilikaja ilivaha liila, ghutaghua pasi kuvu lefi nulavoneka kange.
And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 Amasio gha finanda, avanyanyimbo, avaseja pilimbi, nulu kelema navalapulika kange kulyumue. Nambe avamang'ani vooni navalavoneka kulyumue. Nambe ilitavua lya lituule nalilapulikika kange kulyumue.
And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 Ulumuli lwa tala nalulamulika mulyuve. Ilisio lya nyavutolani umughosi nu nyavutolani umu mama nalilapulikika kange mulyuve, ulwakuuva avaghusia fiinu vako valyale vavaha va mu iisi, kange vafisikina, vasyangilue nuvuhavi vwako.
and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived.
24 Mun'kate mwa mwene idanda ja vaviili na vitiki jilya vonike, ni danda ja vooni vano valya m'budilue mu iisi.”
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.
