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 from Heaven, armed with great power. The earth shone with his splendor,
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 with a mighty voice he cried out, saying, "Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and has become a home for demons and a stronghold for every kind of foul spirit and for every kind of foul 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 all the nations have drunk the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through her excessive luxury."
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.
Then I heard another voice from Heaven, which said, "Come out of her, My people, that you may not become partakers in her sins, nor receive a share of her plagues.
5 Inyali sa mwene simemeleng'ine kukyanya heene vulanga, naju Nguluve asikumbwike imbombo sa mwene imbivi.
For her sins are piled up to the sky, and God has called to mind her unrighteous deeds.
6 Mumombaghe ndavule akavahombile avange, kange muhombaghe mugomokaghe kaviili ndavule akavombile; mukikombe kino akahasing'inie, mumanikiiaghe kaviili ulwa mweene.
Give back to her as she has given; repay her in accordance with her doings, twice as much; in the bowl that she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.
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.'
She has freely glorified herself and revelled in luxury; equally freely administer torment to her, and woe. For in her heart she boasts, saying, 'I sit enthroned as Queen: no widow am I: I shall never know sorrow.'
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.”
"For this reason calamities shall come thick upon her on a single day--death and sorrow and famine--and she shall be burned to the ground. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.
9 Avatua va iisi vano vakavwafwike na kuhasiling'ana palikimo nu mwene viliilagha na pikung'ulasia pano kwande vikulivona ilyosi ilyakupia umweene.
The kings of the earth who have committed fornication with her, and have revelled in luxury, shall weep aloud and lament over her when they see 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.”
while they stand afar off because of their terror at her heavy punishment, and say, 'Alas, alas, thou great city, O Babylon, the mighty city! For in one short hour thy doom has 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 aloud and lament over her, because now there is no sale for their cargoes--
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,
cargoes of gold and silver, of jewels and pearls, of fine linen, purple and silk, and of scarlet stuff; all kinds of rare woods, and all kinds of goods in ivory and in very costly wood, in bronze, steel 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.
Also cinnamon and amomum; odors to burn as incense or for perfume; frankincense, wine, oil; fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep; horses and carriages and slaves; and the lives of men.
14 Imeke sino ukasinoghilue ni ngufu saako sivukile kuhuma kulyuve. Uvunoghelua vwaako vwooni nhu vunonofivikile, nafilavoneka kange.
The dainties that thy soul longed for are gone from thee, and all thine elegance and splendor have perished, and never again shall they be found.
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.
Those who traded in these things, who grew wealthy through her, will stand afar off, struck with terror at her punishment,
16 Viiti, “Iga, iga kulikaja ilivaha ghwe juno ifwikilue ugolole unono, sambalau, ni ndangali, na kunosevua ni sahabu, ni finu ifya lutogo ni lulu!”
weeping aloud and sorrowing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, for this great city, which was brilliantly arrayed in fine linen, and purple and scarlet stuff, and beautified with gold, jewels and pearls;
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.
because in one short hour all this great wealth has been laid waste!' And every shipmaster and every passenger by sea and the crews and all who ply their trade on the sea,
18 Valyalilile ye vikulivona ilyosi ilyakupia umwene. Vakaati, “Likaja liliku lino liwanana nilikaja iili ilivaha?”
stood afar off, and cried aloud when they saw the smoke of her burning. And they said, 'What city is like this 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 threw dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping aloud and sorrowing. 'Alas, alas,' they said, 'for this great city, in which, through her vast wealth, the owners of all the ships on the sea have grown rich; because in one short hour she has been laid waste!'
20 “Mukelaghe khu lwa mwene, vulanga, umwue vitiki, mweva sun'gua navavili, ulwakuva u Nguluve aletile uluhighilo lwa mwene pa ulu!”
Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you saints and Apostles and Prophets; for God has taken vengeance upon her because of you."
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.
Then a single angel of great strength took a stone which resembled a huge millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon, that great city, be violently hurled down and never again be found.
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.
No harp or song, no flute or trumpet, shall ever again be heard in thee; no craftsman of any kind shall ever again be found in thee; nor shall the grinding of the mill ever again be heard 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.
Never again shall the light of a lamp shine in thee, and never again shall the voice of a bridegroom or of a bride be heard in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and with the magic which thou didst practise all nations were led astray.
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 God's people and of all who had been put to death on the earth."
