Ufunuo 17

1 Ung'wiao nuamalaeka mupungate auzile nuukumiila. Nzuu, kulagila ulamuli nuamukosi numukulu nuikie mumaze nedu,

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

2 neatemi ihe ituma makani augoolya nung'wenso hangi nimagai naugoolya wakwe neikie mihe agaigwe.

with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”

3 Umalaeka wikanihola kinkolo sunga wikampisha kumbuga hange nekamuona musungu wikie migulya mukikale kikauku naekizue imina aituki. Kikale aikikete matwe mupungate nimbe ikumi.

He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 Umusungu aeukumbilwe ng'wenda wazambalau niyenenkauku imatumbe akwe azahabu magwe ansailo, nelulu mumukono wakwe aeuambie kekombe kazahabu naekizue maintu nakutosha naushapu waugoolya wakwe.

The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.

5 Migula ausu wakwe liandikilwe lina la sili BABELI NUUKULU, IA WAGOOLYA NUYU NUAMAINTU NAUBE WEHI.

And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

6 Nikaona umusungu uyu augaile sakami auhueli nisakami waawa naeakule kunsoko ang'wa Yesu. Imatungo nae numuine, nekaambwa ukuelwa ukulu.

I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

7 Kuite umalaeka wika mbela, “Kuneki ukuewe? Kuutambuela endogoelyo amusungu nekikale nikikumuhola, ikekale nekansu nikikete imatwe mupungate nimpembe ikumi.

The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

8 Ikekale naukiine aekikole, wiketile nitungo nele, kuite ukole ukondile kumankila kupuma mikombo nigila impelo. Hangi ukulongoleka nuushapu. Kuawa naeikie mihe, neminao shangaeandikilwe mumbugulu aupanga kupuma ukuilwa igwe iaunkumbigulu akukoilwa neekakiona ikekalen aeki hoile, kina kikete nitungo, kuite kekole pakupe kiza. (Abyssos g12)

The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)

9 Uwitangwi uwu kunsoko amahala nakete upolo. Imatwe mupungate inge malugulu mupungate papo umusungu aewikae mumo.

Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

10 Nayo nanso gaa atemi mupungate. Atemi ataano ang'wi, ung'wi ukole, numuya wakile keza, imatungo nuekiza, ukikie matungo maninodaa.

They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

11 Ikekale naekikole, kuite itungele wikitile, nung'wenso mutemi wamunana, kuite ung'wi wao nuatemi mupungati, hange ulongoe muube.

The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

12 Impembe niiumi naeuiine inge atemi ikumi neakele kusengelya uutemi, kuite akusengilya uuhumi anga atemi kusaa ing'wiing'wi nekekale.

The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

13 Awa akete wisiji ung'wi, hangi akumupa ingulu nuuhumi ikekale eki.

These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

14 Ekituma embita nung'wankolo; kuite ung'wankolo ukuadula kunsoko mukulu waakulu hange mutemi waatemi - hangekukila ng'wenso kukitangwa, ahueli.”

These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

15 Umalaeka wikambela, “Imazi ayo naeumaine, pang'wanso naewikie umukosi uyo inge intu, utiku mahe nentambu.

He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

16 Impembe nikumi naeuiine - nukukiila kenso kikale akumubepelwa umukosi uyu. Nienso ekatenda kutula mukia hange wikipwe akumulya umwiile wakwe, hange akulimansilya.

The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

17 Indogoilyo Itunda uaekile ienso kukenka utimeli wakwe kuigombyi nuakukipa ikikale engulu kumutema sunga inkani yang'wi Tunda nuyukukondaniilya.

For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

18 Umusungu uyu naumuine inge kesale nekikulu nuutemile muatemi amihe.

The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
