< Revelation 12 >
1 Buna dimbu kinneni kimonika mu diyilu: nketo wumosi wuvuata thangu; ngondi yiba ku tsi bitambi biandi. Va ntuꞌandi vaba phu kiba kumi ayi zimbuetete zizole.
And a great sign was seen in heaven: a A woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 Mu buemba kaba. Muna weka nduka buta ayi wuba yamikina mu diambu di mianga mi butila.
And she was with child; and she gave a cry, in the pains of childbirth.
3 Ayi dimbu kinkaka kimonika mu diyilu; tala dalago kimosi kinneni kimbuaki, kiba ayi tsambudi di mintu; dikumi di ziphoka. Phu ki kitinu kiba mu kadika ntu.
And there was seen another sign in heaven; a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
4 Nkilꞌandi wuvitumuna ndambu yimosi mu zindambu zitatu zi zimbuetete zi diyilu ayi wuziloza va ntoto. Dalago kitelama va ntualanketo wuba nduka mu buta muingi niandi buta kabaka bu dila muanꞌandi.
And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child.
5 Nketo beni wubuta muana wu bakala wufueti yadila makanda moso mu nkawa wu sengo. Buna muanꞌandi wutombolo va ndambu Nzambi ayi va ndambu kundukiandi ki kipfumu.
And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.
6 Nketo wutinina ku dikanga, kuna, Nzambi kankubikila buangu muingikadikulu kuna mu tezo ki mili yimosi ayi zikhama zizole ayi makumasambanu ma bilumbu.
And the woman went in flight to the waste land, where she has a place made ready by God, so that there they may give her food a thousand, two hundred and sixty days.
7 Buna khindu yibua mu diyilu: Misiela ayi zimbasi ziandi zinuanisadalago. Dalago kinuana va kimosi ayi zimbasi ziandi.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going out to the fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels made war,
8 Vayi Dalago kisia luta zingolo ko; diawu buangu kiawu kisia buela monika ko mu diyilu.
And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven.
9 Dalago kinneni voti nioka yikhulu yilozolo ku ntoto, kibeti tedila diabulu voti satana; niandi weti vukumuna ntoto wumvimba widi batu. Wulozolo va ntoto va kimosi ayi zimbasi ziandi.
And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him.
10 Buna ndiwa mbembo yinneni mu diyilu, yituba: Buabu phulusu, lulendo kipfumu ki Nzambi eto, lulendo lu Klisto andi bizidi bila mfundi wu bakhomba zieto; wubedi kubafundanga builu ayi muini va ntuala Nzambi eto wulozolo.
And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down.
11 Bawu bannungini mu diambu di menga ma Muana dimemi, bannungini mu diambu di mambu ma kimbangi kiawu; ayi basia zola ko luzingu luawu nate mu lufua.
And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death.
12 Diawu diyilu ayi beno lumvuandanga muawu bika lumona khini. Vayi mabienga kuidi ntoto ayi kuidi mbu bila satana wukulukidi kuidi beno; nganzi yinneni yidi yandi bu kazebi ti thangu yi fioti kaka yisiedi yandi.
Be glad then, O heavens, and you who are in them. But there is trouble for the earth and the sea: because the Evil One has come down to you, being very angry, having the knowledge that he has but a short time.
13 Dalago bu kamona ti wulozolo ku ntoto, buna wulandakana nketo wowo wubuta muana wu bakala.
And when the dragon saw that he was forced down to the earth, he made cruel attacks on the woman who gave birth to the male child.
14 Bavana mavavi muadi ma mbemba kuidi nketo muingi kabaka bu dumukina ku dikanga, ku buangu kiandi ku kafueti bela thama ayi nioka. Kuna kafueti dikulu mu thangu yimosi, mu zithangu zizole, mu ndambu yi thangu.
And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, so that she might go in flight into the waste land, to her place, where she is given food for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the snake.
15 Ayi nioka yifulula nlangu mu munuꞌandi ku manima ma nketo. Nlangubeni wuba banga nlangu wunneni muingi kalalumuka mu nzadi.
And the snake sent out of his mouth after the woman a river of water, so that she might be taken away by the stream.
16 Vayi ntoto wuyiza sadisa nketo. Ntoto wuzibula munuꞌandi ayi wumina nzadi yifulula dalago mu munu andi.
And the earth gave help to the woman, and with open mouth took up the river which the dragon sent out of his mouth.
17 Buna dalago kifuemina nketo ayi kiyenda nuanisa bana bobo bankaka ba nketo, bobo bankebanga zithumunu zi Nzambi ayi kimbangi ki Yesu.
And the dragon was angry with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her seed, who keep the orders of God, and the witness of Jesus:
