< Revelation 13 >
1 Buna dalago kitelama va nzielo yi mbu. Buna ndimona bulu kitotukila mu mbu, kiba ayi dikumi di ziphoka ayi tsambudi di mintu. Mu ziphoka ziandi muba dikumi di ziphu bi kitinu ayi mu mintu miandi musonama mazina ma mvuezolo.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and upon his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
2 Bulu kioki ndimona kidedakana banga ngo; malu mandi maba banga ma ulusu; munuꞌandi wuba banga munu wu khosi. Buna dalago kimvana zingolo ziandi, kundu kiandi ki kipfumu ayi lulendo lunneni.
And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of lions: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
3 Buna ndimona ntu andi wumosi wuba banga wawu wulueku phuta yi lufuavayi phuta yoyi yedi kamvonda yibeluka. Buna ntoto wumvimba wusiminaayi wulandakana bulu.
And I saw one of his heads as it had been smitten unto death; and the wound of his death was healed. And the whole earth wondered after the beast:
4 Batu bazitisa dalago mu diambu kivana lulendo kuidi bulu ayi bazitisa bulu bu batuba: “Nani dedikini banga bulu e? Nani wulenda kunnuanisa e?”
and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying; Who is like the beast? and who is able to make war with him?
5 Buna bavana bulu munu mu diambu di totudila mambu manneni ayi ma mvuezolo, ayi bamvana lulendo lu yadila mu makumaya zingondi zizole.
and a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies; and authority was given unto him to prevail forty-two months.
6 Buna wuzibula munuꞌandi mu diambu di vueza Nzambi, mu diambu di vueza dizina diandi, vueza nzoꞌandi ayi babo bobo bamvuandanga mu diyilu.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, those dwelling in the heaven.
7 Bamvana minsua mu nuanisa banlongo ayi kuba nunga. Bamvana lulendolu yadila makanda moso, batu boso, zimbembo zioso ayi zimvila zioso.
And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them: and authority was given unto him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation.
8 Ayi babo bobo bamvuandanga va ntoto; bobo mazina masia sonama ko, tona vana thonono yi ntoto, mu buku yi luzingu lu Muana dimemi divondo; bela zitisa bulu beni.
And all those who dwell upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him.
9 Woso widi matu, buna bika kawa!
if any one has ears, let him hear.
10 Enati mutu fueni mu kota mu nloko, buna kafueti kota mu nloko. Enati mutu fueni mu vondolo mu sabala buna kafueti vondolo mu sabala. Vawu vava vadi mvibudulu ayi minu ki banlongo.
If any one leads into captivity he goes into captivity: if any one kills with a sword, it behooves him to be killed with a sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 Ndimona bulu kinkaka kitotukila mu ntoto; kiba ayi ziphoka zizole zidedakana banga zi Muana dimemi. Kiyoluka banga dalago.
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he continued to speak as the dragon.
12 Kisadila lulendo loso lu bulu kitheti va meso mandi; ayi bulu beni kisia ti ntoto ayi bobo babo bamvuandanga va ntoto bazitisa bulu kitheti, kioki kiba phuta yi lufua vayi yibeluka.
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him. And he makes the earth and those dwelling in it, that they shall worship the first beast, whose wound of his death was healed.
13 Buna kivanga bidimbu binneni nate kutu mu buisa va ntoto, va ntuala wu batu, mbazu yi diyilu.
And he performs great signs, so that he can indeed make fire descend out of the heaven to the earth in presence of the people.
14 Buna kivukumuna bobo bamvuandanga va ntoto mu diambu di bikumubiobi katambudila minsua mu vanga va ntuala bulu, bu kikamba batu bobobamvuandanga va ntoto bavanga mfikula yi bulu kiba ayi phuta yiluekolo mu sabala ayi kidi diaka kimoyo.
And he deceives those dwelling upon the earth through the signs which it was given unto him to perform in the presence of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who had the wound of the sword, and did live.
15 Bamvana minsua mu vumukisa mfikula yi bulu muingi mfikula yi buluyiyoluka ayi yivondisa batu boso basia kunzitisa ko.
And it was given unto him to give spirit to the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast may indeed speak, and he may cause so many as will not worship the image of the beast that they should be killed.
16 Buna bulu beni kikuika batu boso, batu baphamba ayi batu baluvalu, bamvuama ayi minsukami, bankua kiphuanza ayi bavika; batulu dimbu mu koko kuawu ku lubakala voti va mbulu awu.
And he causes all, small and great, both rich and poor, both free and bond, that they may give them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead:
17 Ayi kadi mutu kalendi sumba ko voti sumbisa ko botula kaka mutu wowo widi dimbu. Dimbu beni diawu dizina di bulu voti thalu yi dizina diandi.
that no one may be able to buy or sell, except the one having the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Vava vadi nduenga. Woso mutu widi diela bika katanga thalu yi bulubila yidi thalu yi mutu; ayi thaluꞌandi yawu yayi: zikhama zisambanu ayi makumasambanu ayi sambanu.
Here is wisdom. Let the one having understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man. And his is, Six hundred and sixty-six.
