Revelation 18
1 Mambu momo bu mavioka, buna ndimona mbasi yinkaka yiba ku diyilu; yiba ayi lulendo lunneni. Nkembo andi wukienzula ntoto.
After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 Mbasi beni yiyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: Babiloni dinneni dibuidi, dibuidi. Dikitukidi nzo yi ziphevi zimbimbi; suamunu ki yoso-yoso pheve yi sumuka; suamunu ki yoso-yoso nuni yi sumuka ayi yilendo.
He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
3 Bila makanda moso ma nuini vinu ki nganzi ki kitsuza kiandi. Mintinu mi ntoto va kimosi ayi niandi mikiyekula mu kitsuza ayi minkiti mi ntoto mikitukidi zimvuama zingolo mu diambu di lulendo lu kimvuama kandi ki viatuka tezo.
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
4 Buna ndiwa mbembo yinkaka yitotukila ku diyilu, yiwakana: —A batu bama, bika lubotuka va khatitsikꞌandi muingi lubika fubakana mu masumu mandi ayi lubika builu bivuku biandi.
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 Bila masumu mandi mayilimini, matudidi nate ku diyilu ayi Nzambi wutebukidi mambimbi mandi moyo.
for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Bika lumvangila boso kaluvangila ayi lumvangila mu zikhumbu zizole mambu momo lufueti kumvangila, boso buididi mavanga mandi. Mu mbungu yoyi kasobikisa, bika lunsobikisa tsobikisa zizole.
Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Boso bu kabela mu nkembo ayi boso bu kabela mu zikhini, buna buawu bobo lunyamisina ayi lummonisa kiadi ki lufua. Bila niandi wubedi tubanga mu ntimꞌandi: “Minu mvuendi banga ntinu wu nketo; ndisi difuola ko ayi ndilendi ba mu kiadi ki lufua ko.”
However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
8 Diawu diodi, bivuku biandi biela kuizila mu lumbu kimosi: lufua, kiadi ki lufua ayi kanda ki nzala. Wela yoko ku mbazu bila Pfumu Nzambi, wuzenga buawu, beki zingolo zivangila buawu.
Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Buna mintinu mintoto, miomi mivanga kitsuza ayi niandi ayi mizingila muzikhini va kimosi ayi niandi, miela dila ayi miela nionga mu diambu diandibu miela mona muisi wu mbazu andi.
The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 Thama miela telimina mu diambu di tsisi yi mayama mandi ayi mielatuba: “Mabienga, mabienga kuidi divula dinneni; Babiloni divuladingolo! Bila nzengolo andi yizidi mu thangu yimosi kaka.”
standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
11 Minkiti mi ntoto, mamvawu, milembo didi ayi midi mu kiadi mu diambu diandi bila kadi mutu kakadi buela sumba bima biawu:
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
12 bima bi nolo, bi palata; bi matadi ma thalu; bi bilunga; bi minledi miawu mi lino yidi dio veyi-veyi; mi mbuaki yi fufulu; mi nlezama; mi mbuaki; minti mioso mi tsudi ayi bima bioso bivangulu mu meno ma nzawu; bima bioso bavangulu mu minti mi thalu; mu bitsongo; mu bisengo ayi mu matadi meti lezama momo beti tedila “malibele”;
merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 sinamoni ayi mafuta ma thalu, malasi, ansa ayi mile, vinu ayi mafuta; falina ayi foloma; mamemi ayi zingombi; ziphunda ayi zisalio; bavika ayi miela mi batu.
and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 —Mambu momo muelꞌaku wubedi zolanga matatukidi thama ayi bima bioso bi kitoko ayi bi nlezama bizimbidi mu diambu diaku ayi bilendi buela monika ko.
The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
15 Minkiti mi bima biobi, miomi mikituka zimvuama mu diambu diandi, thama miela telimina mu diambu di tsisi yi mayama mandi; miela dila ayi miela mona kiadi. Miela tuba:
The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 A mabienga! A mabienga! Divula dinneni dibedi vuatanga lino yidi dio veyi-veyi; minledi mi mbuaki yi fufulu ayi mi mbuaki; divula dibedi vuatanga nolo, matadi ma thalu ayi bilunga!
saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 Bila mu thangu yimosi kaka kimvuama kioso kioki ki lalikini. Babo beti nata masuwa ayi babo beti kibilanga mu masuwa, babo bansadilanga mu masuwa ayi babo banzingilanga mu mukhita mu mbu thama batelimina.
For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 Bu bamona muisi wu mbazu andi, buna bayamikina ayi batuba: —Divula mbi dilenda dedakana banga divula dinneni e?
and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
19 Bakilozila mbungi-mbungi mu mintu miawu, badila ayi bamona kiadi. Bayamikina: —A Mabienga! A Mabienga! Divula dinneni diodi dikitula batu boso bobo baba ayi masuwa mu mbu zimvuama mu diambu di kimvuama kiandi. Mu thangu yimosi dilalikini!
They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
20 A diyilu, bika wumona khini mu diambu di lalakana kuandi ayi beno banlongo, bamvuala ayi mimbikudi! Bila Nzambi wuzengidi nkanu mu diambu dieno.
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
21 Buna mbasi yidi ngolo yibonga ditadi, diodi diba tola banga tsindu, wudiloza mu mbu ayi wutuba: —Babiloni dinneni diela lozolo mu makhemi banga mama; dilendi buela monika ko.
A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 Buna mbembo yi minsiki mi ngitale, yi minsiki mi miziki, yi minsiki mi ziphungi ayi yi minsiki mi tulumbeta yilendi buela wakakana ko mu ngeyo. Kadi kisadi kimosi kinsalanga kioso-kioso kuandi kisalu kilendi buela monika ko mu ngeyo ayi biyoko bi tsindu bilendi buelawakakana ko mu ngeyo.
The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 Kiezila ki muinda kilendi buela lezama ko mu ngeyo. Mbembo yi bakala ayi yi nketo bakuelini bosi yilendi buela wakana ko mu ngeyobila minkiti miaku mibedi batu ba luvalu ba ntoto; bila makanda mosomazimbidi mu diambu di mazi maku.
The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 Kuidi ngeyo kumonikina menga ma mimbikudi, ma banlongo ayi ma babobavondo va ntoto.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
