Revelation 13
1 Then I saw, ‘rising out of the sea, a wild Beast with ten horns’ and seven heads. On its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names.
Bhai, lijoka lila gulijimi nnyenje bhaali. Gunimmwene nnyama jumo alikopoka mbhaali. Ashinkukola mitwe shabha na mbembe likumi limo, na kila lupembe lwashinkubhikwa shilemba. Muntundu mitwe jakwe gashinkujandikwa mena ga kwaatukana a Nnungu.
2 The Beast that I saw was like a leopard; but its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave it his power and his throne, and wide dominion.
Jwene nnyama junammwene jula paaliji mbuti ubhi, makongono gakwe mbuti liogo na ntwe gwakwe mbuti imba. Lijoka jula gwanngabhile nnyama jula mashili gakwe na shitengu shakwe sha ukulungwa na mashili ga kaje.
3 One of its heads seemed to me to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth followed the Beast, wondering;
Ntwe gwakwe gumo pugwabhonekaga mbuti ushiulaywa libhanga lya shiwo, ikabheje libhanga lyakwe liponile. Shilambo showe shikunkanganigwaga nnyama jula nigubhankagulenje.
4 and men worshiped the Dragon, because he had given his dominion to the Beast; while, as they worshiped the Beast, they said — ‘Who can compare with the Beast? and who can fight with it?’
Bhandunji bhowe gubhantindibhalilenje lijoka jula kwa pabha nnyama jula ashinkunngabhila mashili gakwe. Gubhantindibhalilenje na nnyama jula bhalinkutinji, “Gani ali malinga aju nnyamaju? Numbe gani akombola kukomana najo?”
5 The Beast was given ‘a mouth that spoke proudly’ and blasphemously, and it was empowered to work its will for forty-two months.
Na nnyama jula gwaleshilwe abhelekete malobhe ga kwiitapa na ga kwaatukana a Nnungu, gwapegwilwe mashili ga tenda liengo lyakwe kwa myei makumi nsheshe na jibhili.
6 It opened its mouth only to blaspheme God, to blaspheme his Name and his Tabernacle — those who dwell in his Tabernacle in Heaven.
Bhai, gwatandwibhe kwaatukana a Nnungu na alitukana na lina lyabho na ndamo jabho na bhowe bhaatamangana kunnungu.
7 It had been permitted to fight with Christ’s People and to conquer them, and it had received power over men of every tribe, and people, and language, and nation.
Na gwaleshilwe akomane ngondo na bhandunji bha ukonjelo nikwaakombolanga. Gwapegwile ukulungwa kubhandunji bha kila kabhila, na kila shipinga, na kila shibheleketi, na kila shilambo.
8 All who are living on earth will worship it — all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, the Lamb that has been sacrificed from the foundation of the world.
Bhowe bhaatamangana pa shilambolyo shibhantindibhalilanje, ikabheje bhene bhajandikwenje mena gabhonji nshitabhu sha gumi shika Mwana Ngondolo ainjilwe, kuumila ku ndandubho kwa panganywa shilambolyo.
9 Let him who has ears hear.
Akwete makutujo, apilikane!
10 ‘Whoever is destined for captivity goes into captivity.’ Whoever shall kill with the sword must inevitably be killed with the sword. (Here there is need for endurance and faith on the part of Christ’s People.)
Mundu atumbililwe kukamulwa utumwa, shaakamulwe utumwa, na mundu jwa bhulagwa na upanga, shabhulagwe na upanga. Kwa nneyo, bhandunji bha ukonjelo bhaipilililanje na bhakolanje ngulupai.
11 Then I saw, rising out of the earth, another wild Beast. It had two horns like those of a lamb, and its voice was like a dragon’s.
Kabhili, gunimmwene nnyama juna alikopoka nnitaka. Ashinkukola mbembe ibhili mbuti ya ngondolo, ikabheje atendaga bheleketa mbuti lijoka.
12 It exercises all the authority of the first Beast under its very eyes; and it makes the earth and all who are living on it worship that first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
Ashinkukola mashili gapegwilwe nagwe nnyama jwa ntai jula, na gwalangwile mashili gakwe kuka nnyama jula. Akushitendaga shilambolyo, na bhowe bhaatamangana mwenemo, kuntindibhalila nnyama jwa ntai, akwete libhanga liponile jula.
13 It performs great marvels, even causing fire to fall from the heavens to the earth, before men’s eyes;
Gwatendile ilapo yaikulungwa, akubhulayaga moto ukoposhe kunnungu utulushe pa shilambolyo, nibhoneka ku bhandu bhowe.
14 and in consequence of the marvels which it was allowed to perform under the eyes of the Beast, it is able to deceive all who are living on the earth. It bids those who live on the earth to make a statue in honour of the Beast, who, despite the wound from the sword, yet lived.
Alikwaapuganyanga bhandunji bhaatamangana pa shilambolyo, kwa ilapo yapegwile kwiitenda paka nnyama jwa ntai jula. Alikwaabhalanjilanga bhaatamangana pa shilambo bhanng'alashiyanje shanamu nnyama jwa ntai auleywe kwa upanga nilama kabhili jula.
15 It was permitted to breathe life into the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast might speak; and it was also permitted to cause all who refused to worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.
Nigwapegwilwe mashili ga pepetela mbumu ya gumi nshanamu shika nnyama jwa ntai jula, mpaka gushikombwele kubheleketa nikwaabhulaganga bhandunji bhowe bhashitindibhalilenje shanamu shika nnyama shila.
16 High and low, rich and poor, freemen and slaves — it causes a brand to be put on the right hand or on the forehead of every one of them,
Na alikwaatendanga bhowenji, bhashoko na bhakulungwanji, matajili, na bhaalaga, na bhangwana, na bhatumwa bhalembwanje lulembo munkono gwabhonji gwa nnilo eu pa shenyi shabhonji.
17 so that no one is able to buy or sell, except those that bear this brand — either the name of the Beast or the number indicated by the letters of his name.
Na kabhili kuti mundu jojowe anaume shindu eu kuusha, ikabheje mundu alembilwe lwene lulembolo, yani lina lika nnyama jula eu eshabhu ja lyene linalyo.
18 (Here there is need for discernment.) Let him who has the ability compute the number of the Beast; for the number indicates a man’s name. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
Penepa panapinjikwa lunda! Akwete lunda shagamanye malombolelo ga eshabhu jika jwene nnyamajo, pabha ni eshabhu jikunnombola mundu. Jene eshabhujo, mmia shita na makumi shita na shita.
