Insinulo 12
1 I mboniso inkando i ba boneki mwi wulu: mwanakazi yaba zwete izuba, mi ni mwezi mukunsi kama tende akwe, ni mushukwe we nkani zekumi nitotwatwe hamutwi wakwe.
And a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a diadem of twelve stars.
2 Abe minsi, mi abali kulila chokuhuwa muku sasama kwa ku puluha, mubutuku bukando bwa kupuluha.
She was with child; and she cried out, travailing in birth, in anguish to be delivered.
3 Linu imwi imboniso i baboneki mwi wulu: bone, kubena i dilagoni inkando isubila iba kwina mitwi ye yanza ni tobele ni maziya e kumi, mi kubakwina mishukwe ina iyanza ni to bele hamitwi wayo.
And another sign was seen in heaven; and lo, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems.
4 muchila wayo uba fiyeli zikiti zo tatwe ze nkani mwi wulu ni kuzi kwitila hansi. I dilagoni chiya zimana habusi bwa mwanakazi yaba kwina ha fuhi ni kupuluha, nji kuti cha puluha, i yo ilye mwana.
His tail drew a third part of the stars of the sky, and dashed them down to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child when she was delivered.
5 Cha puluha mulombwana, mwana muswisu, yete ayendise chisi chonse ni nkoli ye nsimpi. mwanakwe aba zwabulwa ni kutwalwa kwa Ireeza ku lubona lwakwe,
And she gave birth to a son, a man child, who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God and unto his throne.
6 mi mwanakazi cha tilila mwi halaupa, uko Ireeza aba mubakanyizi chibaka chakwe, njo kuti aka silelezwe muma zuba alikana lule ni myanda yo bele ni makumi eyanza ni kamwina
And the woman fled into the desert, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 Linu hanu kubena inkondo mwi wulu. Maikulu ni mangeloi akwe chi balwaa ni dilagoni; mi i dalagoni ni mangeloi ayo chi zalwa nabo cha kubozekeza.
And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels went forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon also fought, and his angels;
8 Kono i dalagoni ka hena iba kolete ahulu kuti i kome. Nji kuti kana kubasina chibaka mwi wulu cha yo ni mangeloi ayo.
but they failed, nor was their place found any more in heaven.
9 I dalagoni ikando — i nzoka ya kale i sumpwa diabulusi kapa Satani, yo chengelela inkanda yonse— aba sohelwa hansi mwi nkanda, ni mangeloi akwe aba sohelelwa hamwina naye hansi.
Now the great dragon was thrown down - that old Serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 Kuzwa aho china zuwa muhuwo mukando mwi wulu: “Linu chikwa sika kusungununwa, ziho, mubuso wa Ireeza wetu, ni buyendisi bwa Krisite wakwe. Mukuti iye munyansi wa ba kwetu aba sohelwa hansi, iye yaba banyansi habusu bwa Ireeza wetu musihali ni masiku.
And I heard a great voice in heaven, which said. "Now it is come! the salvation and the power, The kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ! For the accuser of our brethren is thrown down, Who accused them before our God, day and night.
11 Baba muwoli cha malaha e mbelele mi ni che inzwi lya bupaki bwabo, mukuti kahena baba saki buhalo bwabo mane kubambanywa ni ifu.
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, And by the word of their testimony; And they loved not their life, even unto death.
12 Kuzwaho, musange, inwe maulu, nabo bonse ba hala mwateni. Kono bumai kwi nkanda mi nikwi wate kakuli daiabulusi aba sezumukili hansi kwenu. Wizwile ni bukali bu tiiza, kakuti wizi kuti wina bulyo inako zana.
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, And you who dwell therein! Woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has gone down to you in great fury, Because he knows that he has but little time."
13 Kuzwa i dilagoni ha lizela kuti liba sohelwa hansi he nkanda, cha hindikisa mwanakazi yaba puluhi mwana wa mwanaswisu.
When the dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who gave birth to the man child.
14 Kono mwanakazi aba helwe mabando o bele a kolete e mbande, njo kuti awole ku tilila kuchibaka cha lukisezwe mwi halaupa. Ichi nji chibaka uko kwa ba kuswanela ku babalelelwa, mwi nako zana, inako zingi, mi ninako infwihi- kuzwa mumenso e nzoka.
But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the desert to her place where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 I nzoka nciyetila menzi azwa mukaholo kayo ubu lwizi, kuti ipange muunda uwola ku tanyela mwanakazi kumutwala kule.
And the serpent poured water from his mouth after the woman, water like a river, so that he might cause her to be carried off by the stream.
16 Kono inkanda chiya tusa mwanakazi. Inkanda chi ye yalula kaholo ni ku mina lwizi ulo i dilagoni liba yubula kuzwa mukaholo kalyo.
But the earth came to the rescue of the woman and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had poured forth from his mouth.
17 kuzwa aho idilagoni ncilya nyelelwa mwanakazi mi chilya zwa hateni ni kuka leta inkondo ku luhasi lwakwe, kwabana be chilila intaelo za Ireeza mi niku kwatilila ku bupaki bwa Jesu.
And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war upon the rest of her children who keep the commandments of God, and hold fast the testimony of Jesus. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
