< Revelation 17 >

1 Mbasi yimosi, mu tsambuadi di zimbasi ziozi zisimba tsambuadi di zimbungu, yiyiza kukhamba: —Yiza vava, ndiela kumonisa nzengolo nkanu wu nkua kitsuzawunneni wu nketo wuvuendi va mbata minlangu miwombo.
AND one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and spake with me, saying, Come; I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, which sitteth upon many waters:
2 Mintinu mi ntoto mivanga yandi kitsuza ayi bobo bamvuandanga va ntoto bakolo vinu yi kitsuza kiandi.
with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and they who dwell in the earth have been made drunk by the wine of her fornication.
3 Buna wunzamuna mu pheve ku dikanga; ndimona nketo wumosi wuvuanda va mbata bulu kimosi kimbuaki, kiwala mazina ma mvuezolo. Kiba ayi tsambuadi di mintu ayi dikumi di ziphoka.
And he led me into the desert, in the spirit; and I saw a woman sitting on a beast of prey which was red, full of names of blasphemy, (and) having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Nketo beni wuvuata minledi midi mbuaki yi fufulu ayi mi mbuaki; wuvuata nolo, matadi ma thalu ayi nzimbu. Mu koko kuandi muba mbungu yi nolo yi wala mambu ma khakumusu ayi ma mvindu yi kitsuza kiandi.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and golden with gold and precious stones and pearls; having a cup of gold in her hand, full of pollutions and uncleanness of her fornications the earth.
5 Va mbulu andi vasonama dizina: “Mansueki, Babiloni dinneni; ngudi yi bankua kitsuza ayi yi mambu ma khakumusu va ntoto”.
And upon her forehead the name was written, Mystery: Babel the Great, the Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth.
6 Buna ndimona nketo beni wukolo menga ma banlongo ayi menga ma bambangi ba Yesu. Bu ndimmona, ndisimina ngolo.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jeshu; and I wondered, when I saw, with great wonder.
7 Mbasi yikhamba: —Bila mbi wulembo siminina e? Ndiela ku kamba mansueki ma nketo ayi ma bulu kioki kinnatanga nketo beni; bulu kioki kidi tsambuadi di mintu ayi dikumi di ziphoka.
And the angel said to me, Why wonderest thou? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast of prey which beareth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 Bulu kioki wumueni, kiba ayi kisiedi ko, kiela totukila ku diyengaayi kiela kuenda ku nzimbala. Batu bobo bamvuandanga va ntoto, bobo mazinamawu masi ko masonama mu buku yi luzingu, tona vana thonono nzabela simina bu bela mona bulu kioki kiba vayi kisiedi ko ayi kiela kuiza. (Abyssos g12)
The beast of prey which thou seest, was, and is not; and will ascend from the abyss, and go into perdition: and they who dwell on the earth will admire, they whose name is not written in the book of life from the foundations of the world, while they see the beast of prey, who was, and is not, and draweth nigh. (Abyssos g12)
9 Vava vadi diela didi nduenga. Tsambuadi di mintu minsundula tsambudi di miongo; kuna kueti vuandanganketo beni. Vayi mintu beni minsundula diaka tsambuadi di mintinu:
Here is the mind of him who hath wisdom: The seven heads are seven hills where the woman sitteth upon them.
10 mintanu mibua, wumosi wulembo yadi mu thangu yayi bosi wunkakakayizidi ko. Vayi bu kela kuiza, kela zingila ko thangu yiwombo.
And the kings are seven; five have fallen, one is, the other not yet hath come: and when he hath come, a little while it behoveth him to abide.
11 Vayi mu diambu di bulu kioki kiba ayi kisiedi ko, kiawu ntinuwu nana. Widi wumosi mu tsambuadi di mintinu ayi wunkuenda ku nzimbala.
And the beast of prey which was and is not, this is an Eighth, and is of the Seven, and is unto perdition.
12 Dikumi di ziphoka ziozi wumueni zidi dikumi di mintinu miomi mitambudi ko kipfumu vayi miela tambula lulendo, mu thangu yimosi, banga mintinu. Miela tambula lulendo beni va kimosi ayi bulu.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, the men who kingdom not yet have received; but authority as kings one hour receive with the beast of prey.
13 Mintinu miami, babo babeki diyindu dimosi kaka; bamvananga zingoloziawu ayi lulendo luawu kuidi bulu.
They have one will, and their power and their authority unto the beast of prey they will give.
14 Bela nuanisa muana dimemi ayi Muana dimemi diela kuba nungabila niandi Pfumu yi bapfumu ayi Ntinu wu mintinu. Ayi bobo kavuidi, bobo batelo, basobolo ayi bakuikama bela nunga yandi va kimosi.
They with the Lamb will make war, and the Lamb will overcome them; for he is the Lord of lords, and the King of kings, and they who are with him (are) the called and the chosen and the faithful.
15 Buna wukhamba: —Minlangu miomi mueni; kuna kuvuendi nkua kitsuza; minsundula batu, minkangu mi batu, makanda ayi zimbembo.
And he said to me, The waters which thou sawest where the harlot is sitting, are peoples, and assemblages, and tongues.
16 Vayi dikumi di ziphoka ziozi mueni va kimosi ayi bulu biela lenda nkua kitsuza ayi biela kunziona bima biandi bioso ayi biela kumbika pheni nkua, biela dia nsuni andi ayi biela kunyoka ku mbazu.
And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast of prey, will hate the harlot, and make her desolate and naked; and her flesh they will eat, and herself burn with fire.
17 Bila Nzambi wutula mu mintima miawu lukanu lu vangila luzolo luandi ayi lubela mayindu mamosi mu vana kipfumu kiawu kuidi bulu nate mambu ma Nzambi mela duka.
For Aloha hath ingiven it to their hands that they might do his will, and perform one will to give their kingdom to the wild beast, until shall be fulfilled the words of Aloha.
18 Ayi nketo wowo wumueni wunsundula divula dinneni dinyadila mintinu mioso mi ntoto.
And the woman which thou sawest is the great city which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
