Revelation 17
1 And one of the seven Angels, those who hold the seven bowls, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, I will show you the condemnation of the great harlot, who sits upon many waters.
Zvino kwakauya umwe wevatumwa vanomwe vakange vane ndiro nomwe, ndokutaura neni, achiti kwandiri: Uya pano, ndicharatidza kwauri mutongo wemhombwe huru igere pamusoro pemvura zhinji;
2 With her, the kings of the earth have fornicated. And those who inhabit the earth have been inebriated by the wine of her prostitution.”
madzimambo enyika aakaita upombwe nayo, nevagari vepanyika vakadhakiswa newaini yeupombwe hwayo.
3 And he carried me away in spirit to the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Zvino wakandisengera kurenje mumweya, uye ndakaona mukadzi akatasva chikara chitsvuku, chizere nemazita ekunyomba, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi.
4 And the woman was clothed all around with purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand, filled with the abomination and with the filth of her fornication.
Zvino mukadzi wakange akamonera zvine ruvara rwehute nezvitsvuku, uye akashonga goridhe nemabwe anokosha nemaparera, ane mukombe wegoridhe muruoko rwake uzere nezvinosemesa netsvina yeupombwe hwake.
5 And a name was written upon her forehead: Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications and the abominations of the earth.
Nepahuma yake pakange pakanyorwa zita rekuti: CHAKAVANZIKA, BHABHIRONI GURU, MAI VEMHOMBWE NEZVINOSEMESA ZVENYIKA.
6 And I saw that the woman was inebriated from the blood of the saints and from the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I was amazed, when I had seen her, with a great wonder.
Zvino ndakaona mukadzi akararadza neropa revatsvene, uye neropa rezvapupu zvaJesu. Zvino ndakati ndamuona ndikashamisika nekushamisika kukuru.
7 And 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 seven heads and ten horns.
Zvino mutumwa akati kwandiri: Washamisika nei? Ini ndichakuudza chakavanzika chemukadzi, nechechikara chinomutakura, chine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi.
8 The beast that you saw, was, and is not, and is soon to ascend from the abyss. And he goes forth unto destruction. And the inhabitants upon the earth (those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world) shall be amazed upon seeing the beast who was and is not. (Abyssos g12)
Chikara chawakaona, chaivapo, uye chisipo; uye choda kukwira chichibva mugomba risina chigadziko, chichienda mukuparadzwa; uye vanogara panyika vasina kunyorwa mazita avo mubhuku reupenyu kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika vachashamisika vachiona chikara chaivapo uye chisipo, kunyange chiripo. (Abyssos g12)
9 And this is for one who understands, who has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sits, and they are seven kings.
Zvino heino fungwa ine njere. Misoro minomwe ndiwo makomo manomwe mukadzi paagere pamusoro pawo,
10 Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet arrived. And when he arrives, he must remain for a brief time.
uye ndiwo madzimambo manomwe; vashanu vawa, uye umwe aripo, umwe haasati asvika; uye kana achisvika, anofanira kugara chinguvana.
11 And the beast who was, and is not, the same is also the eighth, and he is of the seven, and he goes forth unto destruction.
Uye chikara chaivapo, uye chisipo, ndiyewo werusere, uye anobva pavanomwe, uye anoenda mukuparadzwa.
12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings; these have not yet received a kingdom, but they shall receive authority, as if they were kings, for one hour, after the beast.
Nenyanga gumi dzawaona, ndiwo madzimambo gumi, asati agamuchira ushe, asi achagamuchira simba semadzimambo pamwe nechikara awa rimwe.
13 These hold to one plan, and they shall hand over their power and authority to the beast.
Ava vane fungwa imwe, uye vanopa simba neutongi hwavo kuchikara.
14 These shall fight against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them. For he is the Lord of lords and the King of kings. And those who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
Ava vacharwa neGwayana, uye Gwayana richavakunda, nokuti ndiIshe wemadzishe naMambo wemadzimambo; nevanaro ndevakadanwa nevakasarudzwa nevakatendeka.
15 And he said to me: “The waters that you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and nations and languages.
Zvino akati kwandiri: Mvura yawaona, pagere mhombwe, ndivo vanhu nezvaunga nemarudzi nendimi.
16 And the ten horns that you saw on the beast, these shall hate the woman who fornicates, and they shall make her desolate and naked, and they shall chew her flesh, and they shall burn her completely with fire.
Uye nyanga gumi dzawaona pamusoro pechikara, avo vachavenga mhombwe, uye vachaiparadza nekuifukura, uye vachadya nyama yayo, nekuipisa nemoto.
17 For God has granted to their hearts that they may do to her whatever is pleasing, so that they may give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God may be completed.
Nokuti Mwari wakaisa mumoyo yavo kuti vaite fungwa yake, vaite fungwa imwe, nekupa chikara ushe hwavo, kusvikira mashoko aMwari apedzeredzwa.
18 And the woman that you saw is the great City, which holds a kingdom above that of the kings of the earth.”
Zvino mukadzi wawaona ndiro guta guru, rine umambo pamusoro pemadzimambo enyika.
