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.
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, who had great authority; and the earth was illumined 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.
He shouted with a mighty cry, saying. "She is fallen! She is fallen, Babylon the great! Now she is a dwelling-place of demons, A stronghold of every foul spirit, A stronghold of every foul and hateful bird.
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 nations, having drunk the wine of the frenzy of her fornication, are fallen; And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, And the merchants of the earth have grown rich by the power of her wantonness."
4 Nlanza nlon liwui nnuzu ketene kani nworo, “Nuzun nanya mene, anit ning, bara i wa seru imemun inanzan mye.
And behold I heard another voice from heaven saying. "Come out of her, that you have no fellowship with her sins, And that you receive not her plagues.
5 Alapi mye malkulu udu kitene kani, Kutelle nin katwa ka nanzan mye.
For her sins have been heaped to heaven, And God 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 what she rendered; Yes, pay double what her deeds deserve. In the cup she mixed, mix double for her.
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.
By so much as she glorified herself and waxed wanton, By so much give her of torture and tears, For she says in her heart, ‘I sit here a queen, I am no widow. I shall in no wise see mourning.’
8 Bara nani imon inanzan mye ma se ghe: ukull, lisosin nayi asirne, nin kukpon. Ula ma liighe.”
Therefore in one day shall these plagues come upon her, Death and mourning and famine, And she shall be burnt with fire; For mighty is the Lord God, her judge.
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 committed fornication And lived wantonly with her, Will weep and wail over her, When they behold the smoke of her burning,
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 afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city! In one hour is your judgment come!’
11 Anan malesulesu nye gila nin lisosin nayi asirne bara ame, bara na umong ma kuru asere imon nlesu mye tutung ba-
"And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, For no one buys their merchandise any more -
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, Of pearls, and fine linen, and purple and silk and scarlet; All citron wood, and vessels of ivory, And vessels of rare wood 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.
Cinnamon and balsam and spices and myrrh and frankincense; Wine and oil and fine flour and wheat; Cattle and sheep, and horses and chariots, And 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 which your soul lusted for are gone from you, And all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from you, And men shall find them nevermore.
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 traders in those things, who were enriched by her, shall stand afar off for fear of her torment, 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.”
saying. "‘Woe, woe, the great city! She who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, And 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.
In one hour so great riches is made desolate!" And every shipmaster and every one who sails to any port, And sailors, and all seafaring folk,
18 I taa ntest na iyene incin nli nla mye. I woro, “Kiyeme kipinari masin fo ka kipin ki dya?”
Stood at a distance, and as they saw the smoke from the burning city, cried, "‘What city can compare with the 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 threw dust on their heads, and cried out, Weeping and mourning, saying, "‘Woe, woe, the great city, In which all who have ships on the sea Grew rich through her luxury! For in one hour she is made desolate!’"
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!”
Rejoice over her, O Heaven! Rejoice, ye saints, apostles, prophets! For God has now avenged you.
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.
Then a mighty angel lifted a boulder like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon, the great city, be overthrown with a mighty fall, And shall be found no more at all.
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.
No more shall the voice of harpers and minstrels, flute-players and trumpeters Be heard in you. No more shall any craftsman of any craft Be found at all in you. No more shall the sound of a millstone be heard at all in you.
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.
No light of a lamp shall ever shine in you again; And in you shall the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride be heard no more. For your merchants were the princes of the earth; And with your sorcery were all the nations deceived;
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 you was found the blood of prophets and of saints, And of all who have been slain upon the earth."
