Uruyan Yuhana 17

1 Warum nanya nono kadura Kutelle ule na a wadi nin kukurum kun zur ada adworiyi, “Da, ima dursufe ucan mmolu nkaruwa udiya ule na a sosin kitene myein gbardan,

And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, 'Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters,

2 Ame ule na Ago nyii na su uzina nan ghe, kitane ntoro in zina mye anang lisosin nanyan nyie na so bolm.”

with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;'

3 Gono kadura Kutelle yerai nanyan Ruhu udu kusho, inin yene uwani sosin kitene nfon funanan tene a wa kulung nin tizogo tisa. Finawe wadi ni nati kuzur nin na wulu.

and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,

4 Uwane wa shon imoon nmyein nafa, nin myein mi shine nwoltu anin su kuyok nin nizinariya, atala a ciine, nin natan luu luu. A wa myein ncara mye ka kuk nizinariya ka kuluno nin nimoon izenzen, nin dinong nzwa mye.

and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,

5 Kitenemye i wa yertin imemong na iwa nyeshin: “UBABILA UDIYA, UNAH NA KARUWA NIN NIMON IZEMZEM NYII ULELE.”

and upon her forehead was a name written: 'Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.'

6 Nwa yene uwanii une nta bomn nin myii nanit alau nin myii nanan nizi iban Yesu. Kubi ko nanyene ghe nwa su umamaki kan.

And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder — having seen her — with great wonder;

7 Unan kadura Kutelle woroi, “Bara iyanghai usu umamaki? Mma belen fi umaana inwane nin funawan tine nan ayonghe (finawan tene fo na fidi nin nati kuzur nin nawulu kuzur).

and the messenger said to me, 'Wherefore didst thou wonder? I — I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that [is] carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.

8 Fina nawan tene na uyene fiwan duku, fiduku nene ba, bara nani fidin cinu unuzu nanyan kuwu ku cancam sa ligang. Ama li ubun mmolsu. Alenge na isosin nyei, alenge na ina yertin tisamene nanya kubaga nlai ba uwaaru ukyen nye-iwa yene finawa fone bara na awa diku na aduku nene ba adin cinu. (Abyssos g12)

'The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. (Abyssos g12)

9 Nene kitin nan kpilizu ujinjin. Kuzure titudu kuzurari alenge na uwane sosin ku.

'Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit,

10 Inan ago kuzurari tutung. Ago afaun namalu diyu, warun duku, na umong nsa da ba; a wadak, ama yiti na nin damdaunu ba.

and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;

11 Finawan tene fo na fiduku, na fiduku nene ba, amere litime ugo unlir; bara nani adi nanya nago kuzure, amanin du nmulsu nanit.

and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away.

12 Awulu likure na uwa yene ago likure na uwa yene ago likurari alenge na isa sere kipin tigo mene ba, bara na ima seru likara nafo ago nanya kube kurun ligowe nin finawantene.

'And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast,

13 Alele dinin kibinai kirum inin naa likara tigo mene kiti finawan tene.

these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over;

14 Ima su likum nin kukame. Bara nani ku kame ma li nani nin likum bara na ame Cikilari nilariari nin go nago-ligowe ninghe alenge na ina fere nani, anang yenu sa uyenu.”

these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.'

15 Unan kadura Kutelle wa woroi, “Nmyene na uyene, kikaa na ukaruwe sosinku, anitari, ligozin nanit, nipinpin, nin tilem tilem.

And he saith to me, 'The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;'

16 Awulu likure na uyene-unung nan finawan tene ma nari ukaruwe, utighe aso usane nin fisere, ima li inawamye ima jujughe nin nla.

and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire,

17 Kutelle nati nanya nayii mene iyeru unufe mye nyenu ine likara udu funawan tene asu tigo udu kubi ko na uliru Kutelle nkulu.

for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete,

18 Uwane na uyene, kipin kidyawari na kidi tigo kitene nago nyii vat.”

and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.'
