Revelation 18
1 After this I saw another angel, descending from heaven, invested with great authority; and the earth was illuminated by his splendour.
Lanya bona ń pendi, n den la maleki tiano ke o ñani tanpoli, ki jii. O den pia u paaciamu yeni u fidu, ke o yudandi yenyenma den yendi ki tinga kuli.
2 With a mighty voice he cried – ‘She has fallen! She has fallen – Babylon the Great! She has become an abode of demons, a stronghold of every wicked spirit, a stronghold of every foul and hateful bird.
O den tandi yeni u nialciamu ki yedi, U baá, u baá, u dogciamu Babiloni! U tua mu cicibiadmu yekaanu, ti maalbiidi ciciimu wuonkaanu, yeni ya bonyugibiada n jɔgni, ke bi fali kuli ya wuonkaanu.
3 For, after drinking the maddening wine of her licentiousness, all the nations have fallen; while all the kings of the earth have had licentious intercourse with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the excess of her luxury.’
Kelima i nibuol kuli ñuni o conconbiadma daamɔngu ki gaadi Ki tinga po badtieba conbi yeni o. Ki tinga po kpenkpenda baa ŋalmani kelima o paaciamu yeni o conconyema po i.”
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying – ‘Come out of her, my people, so that you may not participate in her sins, and that you may not suffer from the curses inflicted on her.
N go den gbadi nialtianu ke u ñani tanpoli, ki yedi, “N buolu, Sani mani ki ña u niinni, ki da ti ga o tuonbiadi biinu, tin da ti cedi yin baa o fala janjanbiadma nni.
5 For her sins are heaped up to the heavens, and God has not forgotten her misdeeds.
O tuonbiadi dogni dogni hali ki pundi tanpoli, ke U Tienu tiadi wan tieni ya biadma kuli.
6 Pay her back the treatment with which she has treated you; yes, repay twice over what her actions deserve; in the cup which she mixed for you, mix for her as much again;
Tuu u mani li panli nani wun tieni yi maama, Wun den tieni yi maama, yin tieni u yeni taalma lie, wun den ŋandi ya tadñukaaga nni ke i ñuni yeni, yin mo ń ŋandi yeni taalma lie wun ñu.
7 for her self-glorification and her luxury, give her now an equal measure of torture and misery. In her heart she says “I sit here a queen; no widow am I; I will never know misery.”
Nani wun den dongi u yuli, ki ye u ŋamu nni yeni, yin ŋmiani u mi cacagma yeni u tonu. Kelima u yedi u pali nni, 'N kaá nani badpua yeni, mii tie pakuali, n go kan kali pakuadi mo'.
8 Therefore in one day will these curses strike her – death, misery, and famine, and she will be utterly consumed by fire; for mighty is the Lord God who condemned her.’
Lanyapo i ke daayenli, fala janjanbiadma ba naa u: mi kuuma, ti pakuadi pabɔnli yeni mi konbiadma. U ba yidi ku buodi u mu nni, kelima O Diedo U Tienu tie U Paaciamu daano, ki ba buu ki cuo u.”
9 All the kings of the earth who had licentious intercourse with her and shared her luxury will weep and lament over her, when they see the smoke from the burning city,
Ki tinga po badtieba yaaba n den tieni mi conconma yeni u, ke u diedi ba u yemanma po yeni, ya la u juubuodma muñii, bi ba buudi, ki fábni u po.
10 while they stand at a distance, horrified at her torture, and cry – ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! Mighty city of Babylon! In a single hour your judgment fell.’
Bi baa seé hali fagma, ki nu u cacagma yeni ti jawaanciandi, ki tua, “Falaciamo, falaciamo u dogciamu po, Babiloni, U paaciamu dogciamu! Kelima kudyengu baba dagdi, a buudi ń baa a yuli po ki cuo ŋa.”
11 And the merchants of the earth weep and wail over her, because no longer does anyone buy their cargoes –
Ki tinga po kpenkpenda buudi ki fábni u po, kelima obakuli ji ki daa u kuadma,
12 their cargoes of gold, or silver, or precious stones, or pearls, or fine linen, or purple robes, or silk, or scarlet cloth; nor their many scented woods; nor their many articles of ivory; nor their many articles of choicest wood, or brass, or iron, or marble;
Ya kuadma n ten wula, ti ŋanjilfa, ya ligtana n pia mayuli, i badlaani, a cabñiñila, a cabŋana, ya caba n mɔni colcoli, ya tiidi n nu ki mani, a kpagŋama, a luonñina tiadi yeni a tadmu, ya taaba yeni ya daadi n pia mayuli tiadi, ti kudmɔndi, ti kudpiendi, a tanñiñila,
13 nor their cinnamon, or spice, or incense, or perfumes, or frankincense, or wine, or oil, or fine flour, or wheat, or cattle, or sheep; nor their horses, or chariots, or slaves; nor the bodies and souls of people.
ya tulaale, yeni i kpinpadi, li ŋubŋanli, ku daamɔngu, mi kpama, mi yondingma, kpanu tiibima, ti yanbidi yeni a yangbenga, i taami, ti turdi, i yonbi yeni bi nisaalba naani.
14 The fruit that your soul craved is no longer within your reach, and all dainties and luxuries are lost to you, never to be found again.
ŋan den faadi ya bonluanli hali yeni a pali kuli sani ki fagdi yeni a. ŋan den ye ya ŋamu nni yeni a ya kpiagdi nni kuli yaadi ki ŋa a, a ji kan baa lanya yema palbu (hali abada).
15 The merchants who sold these things, and grew rich by her, will stand at a distance weeping and wailing, horrified at her torture, and crying –
Ya kpenkpenda n den pia li kuadma, ki baa ŋalmani u yanbuama po, baa se hali fagma kelima u cacagma jawaandi po, ki buudi, ki fabni ninsiipiendi.
16 ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! City clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet cloth! City adorned with gold ornaments, and precious stones, and pearls!
Bi baa tua, “Falabiado, falabiado u dogciamu po, yu n den laá ya tiadi n ñilgi, ki ŋani, ki mɔni; ki bobi wula yeni ya ligtana n pia mayuli tiadi, a lanbila, i badlaani!
17 In a single hour your vast wealth vanished.’ Every ship’s captain and all who sail to any port, and sailors, and all who get their living from the sea, stood at a distance,
Kudyengu dagdi, ke a piama kuli bodi.” A ñinbiakudla kuli, ti ñinbiadi tuonsɔnla kuli, yaaba n pia sanu mi ñima nni kuli yeni yaaba n li baadi ti ñuadi mi ñ̃ima nni cenli po kuli, den sani ki gedi ki sedi hali fagma.
18 and seeing the smoke from the burning city, cried – ‘What city can compare with the Great city?’
Ban den la juuma muñii, bi den buudi, ki tua, “Ulaa dogciamu n tie nani ya gogciamu ne?”
19 They threw dust on their heads, and, as they wept and wailed, they cried – ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! All who have ships on the sea grew rich through her magnificence. In a single hour it has vanished.’
Bi den yadi ti tandi bi yula po, ki buudi ki fabni, “Falabiado, falabiado u dogciamu po, yu ya baali po, ke yaaba n pia bi ñinbiadi mi ñima nni kuli den tua ŋalmandanba. Kudyengu baba dagdi, ke u bodi cain.”
20 Rejoice over her, heaven, and people of Christ, and apostles, and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!
Yin mangi mani i pala u yema ne po, yinba bi nigagdiŋanba, Yinba bi dugkaaba, Jesu tondiba yeni bi sawalpuaba, yin mangi mani i pala, kelima U Tienu tuu i ya panli i ki buni ki cuo u!”
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, crying – ‘So will Babylon, the great city, be violently overthrown, never more to be seen.
Ya maleki n pia u paaciamu den yugdi ya tangu n tie nani li naali yeni, ki luni mi ñincianma nni, ki yedi, “Maama ne i, ke bi ba lu u dogciamu Babiloni yeni ti jadi un jiidi, ki mii, ke bi ji kan la u palbu.
22 No more will the music of harpers, or minstrels, or flute players, or trumpeters be heard in you, no more will any worker, skilled in any art, be found in you; no more will the sound of a mill be heard in you;
Bi ji kan gbadi ti kogirdi, mu yelmu, a naatuna, yeni ti baantiadi yani u niinni. Bi ji kan la tuonsɔnbanlo bakuli a niinni. Bi kan gbadi naali fuunli a niinni jiga palbu.
23 no more will the light of a lamp shine in you; no more will the voices of groom and bride be heard in you. Your merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your magical charms.’
Fidsanga yenyenma ji kan yendi a niinni. Bi ji kan gbadi pocaano yeni pocaancalo nialu a niinni, kelima a kpenkpenda den tie ki tinga po naabiiganba (badbijaba), ke a tulni i nibuoli yeni a suagu.
24 Yes, and in her was to be found the blood of the prophets and of Christ’s people, and of all who have been put to death on the earth.
Bi den la u niinni bi sawalpuaba yeni bi dugkaaba sɔma, yeni ban den kpaá yaaba kuli ki tinga po sɔma.”
