1 Na ile imone wakat vat uwa yene kan gono kadura Kutelle ntulsu cin dak nnuzu kitene kani. A wa di nin likara lidya, uye wa li kanang nin gongon mye.
And after these things, I saw another Angel, descending from heaven, having great authority. And the earth was illuminated by his glory.
2 A taa ntyet nin liwui lidya, abenle, “Udewu, udewu ubabalila udiyai a so kitin lisosin na gbergenu, kiti lisosin vat ti ruhu ti nanzang nin kiti lisosin vat kijin kuzenzen.
And he cried out with strength, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great. And she has become the habitation of demons, and the keepsake of every unclean spirit, and the possession of every unclean and hateful flying thing.
3 Nipinpin ne vat nsono ntoro nzina mye na mina da ninghe tinana nayi. Ago nyii nasu uzina ninghe. Anan malesulesa nanya nyii so anan nimon na cara bara likara lisosin limang mye.”
For all the nations have imbibed the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have fornicated with her. And the merchants of the earth have become wealthy by the power of her pleasures.”
4 Nlanza nlon liwui nnuzu ketene kani nworo, “Nuzun nanya mene, anit ning, bara i wa seru imemun inanzan mye.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: “Go away from her, my people, so that you may not be participants in her pleasures, and so that you may not be recipients of her afflictions.
5 Alapi mye malkulu udu kitene kani, Kutelle nin katwa ka nanzan mye.
For her sins have pierced through even to heaven, and the Lord has remembered her iniquities.
6 Kurtunghe ku imon na ame na su anite, kurtwaghe ku tiba iman ile na ana kurtuz anite ku; nanya kakup ka na awa ketelin, ketelenghe ti ba.
Render to her, as she has also rendered to you. And repay her doubly, according to her works. Mix for her a double portion, in the cup with which she mixed.
7 Nafo na ana ghantin liti mye anin su mang, naghe gbardang uniu nin tunana naye. A woro nanya kibinai mye, 'Nsosin nafo ushono ngo; Na meng unan diru nlisari ba, na iwa yenu kibinai kisirnebai.
As much as she has glorified herself and lived in pleasure, so much so give to her torment and grief. For in her heart, she has said: ‘I am enthroned as queen,’ and, ‘I am not a widow,’ and, ‘I shall not see sorrow.’
8 Bara nani imon inanzan mye ma se ghe: ukull, lisosin nayi asirne, nin kukpon. Ula ma liighe.”
For this reason, her afflictions shall arrive in one day: death and grief and famine. And she shall be burned with fire. For God, who will judge her, is strong.
9 Agon yee na ina su uzina ninghe inani na nuzu insalin lanzun niliru ninghe ima gilu nin ghe i wa yene mcin nli nla mye din ghanju.
And the kings of the earth, who have fornicated with her and lived in luxury, shall weep and mourn for themselves over her, when they see the smoke of her conflagration,
10 I ma yisinupiit, idin lanzu fiyu nniyu mye, mbenlu, “Kash, kash udu kipin ki diya, Babila, kipin llikara! Nanyan kube kurun uniu fe ndaa.”
standing far away, out of fear of her torments, saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to Babylon, that great city, that strong city. For in one hour, your judgment has arrived.’
11 Anan malesulesu nye gila nin lisosin nayi asirne bara ame, bara na umong ma kuru asere imon nlesu mye tutung ba-
And the businessmen of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, because no one will buy their merchandise anymore:
12 Imon lesu ni zinariyanin, nin nazurfa, nin natola nikurfung, nin luu-luu, nin liniw ukpekpet, nin nimon nmyein nafo, nin siliki, nin malufi vat nin naca nikurfuung, nin vat nishik nicaut, nin fikoro fishine, nin fikoro fisirne nin mabil,
merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls, and of fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and of every citrus tree wood, and of every tool of ivory, and of every tool from precious stone and brass and iron and marble,
13 nin fikoro, nin animon, nin turare, nin mai kuya kunang, nin lubar, nin alkama, nin nina, nin nakam, nin nibark, nin karusa, nin nacin, nin ti lai na nit.
and of cinnamon and black cardamom, and of fragrances and ointments and incense, and of wine and oil and fine flour and wheat, and of beasts of burden and sheep and horses and four-wheeled wagons, and of slaves and the souls of men.
14 Ku mat na ca ko na una din nin serwe i wulu fi. Vat mmang fe nin nimon fo figiri i nana kiti fe, na ima kuru ise inin tutung ba.
And the fruits of the desires of your soul have gone away from you. And all things fat and splendid have perished from you. And they shall never find these things again.
15 Ale na i wa din nlesu nile imone se ikurfung kang bara usu mye yisina piit ninghe bara fiiyu nniyu mye, kuculu nin tiit nayi asirne.
The merchants of these things, who were made wealthy, shall stand far away from her, out of fear of her torments, weeping and mourning,
16 I ma woro, “Kash, kash nin kipin ki diya kane na ki wa su kuyuk nin ni ninoon icene, nanya nimon nmyein nafa, nin kye kidowome nin nizinariya, nin nimoon natuf nikurfung nin luu-luu.”
and saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to that great city, which was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and which was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls.’
17 Nanya kube kurum vat nilele imoon nikurfunghe nana. Vat nanan con njirgi myeen, vat nanang cin nanya njirgi myeen, nin na le na i din sessu imonli nanyan kurawa ku dundya we, yisina piit.
For such great wealth was brought to destitution in one hour. And every shipmaster, and all who navigate on lakes, and mariners, and those who work at sea, stood far away.
18 I taa ntest na iyene incin nli nla mye. I woro, “Kiyeme kipinari masin fo ka kipin ki dya?”
And they cried out, seeing the place of her conflagration, saying: ‘What city resembles this great city?’
19 i tiza lidao nidowo mene, inin taa nteet, ning myiziin mi gbagbai nin lisosin tiyoom, “Kash, kash udu kipin kidya kane ki kaa na vat nale na i di nin tijirgin myen kurawa kudin dya nda se ikurfun ku unuzun dukiya mye. Bara na nanya kubi kurum ida nanza ghe.”
And they cast dust upon their heads. And they cried out, weeping and mourning, saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to that great city, by which all who had ships at sea were made rich from her treasures. For she has been made desolate in one hour.
20 “Taan liburi liboo bara ameh, kitene kani, anung anit alau, anang kaduran Yesu, nin nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle, bara na Kutelle nda nin mawucu wuce mye lite mye!”
Exult over her, O heaven, O holy Apostles and Prophets. For God has judged your judgment upon her.’”
21 Unan katwa Kutelle yira litala nafo litala tiyazung a too linin nanya kurawa kudya we, a benle, “Nanya nlo libau ule, uBabila, kipin kidya, i ma fillu kutyein nin tinana nayi na i ma kuru i yene tutung ba.
And a certain strong Angel took up a stone, similar to a great millstone, and he cast it into the sea, saying: “With this force shall Babylon, that great city, be cast down. And she shall never be found again.
22 Ti wui nanang foo nidowo, anang navu, anan pee nishiriya, nin nanang wulsu na langtung na i ma kuru ilanza nani. Nanya fe ba na i ma kuru i se anang makeke nimon nanya fe tutung ba. Na ima kuru i lanzan tiyazun nanya fe tutung ba.
And the sound of singers, and musicians, and flute and trumpet players shall not be heard in you again. And every artisan of every art shall not be found in you again. And the sound of the mill shall not be heard in you again.
23 Nkanan nla ma bicu na ima kuru iyene mining tutung ba. Liwui na wanlapese nang na lese na ima kuru ilanza tutun ba, bara na imoon nlesu fe wadi ashoono na goo nyii, nin myin uwa rusuzu nani ning niyuu fe.
And the light of the lamp shall not shine in you again. And the voice of the groom and of the bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the leaders of the earth. For all the nations were led astray by your drugs.
24 Nanya mye i wa se nmyii nanang liru ning nuu Kutelle nin nanit a lau, ning myii na le na i wa mulsu nani nanya nyii.”
And in her was found the blood of the Prophets and of the Saints, and of all who were slain upon the earth.”
