< Revelation 18 >

1 And after these things, I saw another Angel, descending from heaven, having great authority. And the earth was illuminated by his glory.
Pakumala yeleyo nammweni katumetume jwa kwinani jwine achitulukaga kutyochela kwinani, akwete ulamusi wekulungwa, ni kung'alima kwakwe chilambo chang'alime.
2 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.
Nipele ŵanyanyisye kwa machili achitiji, “Ugwile, Babeli musi wekulungwa ugwile, utendekwe pakutama masoka ni mbumu sili syose syausakwa, utendekwe pakutama ijuni yose ya usakwa ni yaikuchima.
3 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.”
Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose ŵakolelwe divai jakalipa ja chigwagwa cho. Nombe mamwenye ŵa pachilambo ŵatesile najo chikululu. Nombe ŵandu ŵa malonda ŵa pachilambo ŵapatile ipanje kutyochela ni machili ga tama jakwe ja kusaka kulisengwasya kwannope.”
4 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.
Nipele napilikene liloŵe line kutyochela kwinani lichitiji “Nkopoche kukwakwe ŵandu ŵangu! Nkaŵa chindu chimo mu sambi syakwe; Ntakupochela iputo yakwe.
5 For her sins have pierced through even to heaven, and the Lord has remembered her iniquities.
Pakuŵa sambi syakwe siunjikene mpaka kwinani, ni Akunnungu aikumbuchile ileŵo yakwe.
6 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.
Chimwatendele ilaila mpela iŵaitesile kwa ŵanyamwe, mwauchisye kaŵili kwa aila iŵatendele ŵane. Ngumbasye chikombe chakwe kaŵili chakung'wa chakalipa, mpela iŵatite pakumgumbalichisya mmwe.
7 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.’
Mwape masausyo ni ipetesi malinga ni mwakulikusya ni kulipokasya kwakwe kwannope. Pakuŵa akuŵecheta muntima mwakwe, ‘Ngutawala nti mwenye jwankongwe! Nginima jwambwililwe ni jwannume, Une ngasasupuka namose kanandi’
8 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.
Kwa ligongo lyo iputiko yakwe tiiche pa lyuŵa limo pelyo, chiwa ni kusupuka ni sala. Kupunda ni gelego chajochekwe pa mooto pakuŵa Ambuje Akunnungu ŵakwalamula wo, akwete machili.”
9 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,
Ni mamwenye ŵa pa chilambo ŵaŵatesile najo chigwagwa ni kupoka pampepe najo chalile ni kwalilila kwa malumbo pachaliwone lyosi lya kutinika kwakwe.
10 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.’
Chajime kwakutali pakugajogopa masausyo gakwe, achitiji, “Chanasa, chanasa kukwenu Babeli musi wekulungwa ni wauli ni machili! Pakuŵa kwa katema kamo pe kulamulikwa kwenu kuiche!”
11 And the businessmen of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, because no one will buy their merchandise anymore:
Ŵa malondo ŵa pachilambo chalile ni kusupuka ligongo ngapagwa mundu jwakusuma malonda gao sooni,
12 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,
ngapagwa sooni jwakusuma malonda ga sahabu ni feza ni maganga gandalama jajikulungwa ni lulu ni iwalo yeswela ni iwalo ya sambalau ni iwalo ya halili ni iwalo yechejeu, itela yose yakununjila uchenene, ni yoombo yose yekolochekwe ni misengo ja ndembo ni yose yesepekwe mu itela ya ndalama jajikulungwa, ni yoombo yose ya shaba ni ya chisyano ni yombo ya malumalu,
13 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.
ni mdalasini ni iliki ni ubani ni mauta gambone ni divai ni mauta ga seituni ni utandi wambone ni ngano ni ng'ombe ni ngondolo ni falasi ni mutuka ja kukwekwelemya ni falasi ni achikapolo namose umi wa ŵandu.
14 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.
Ŵandu ŵa malonda ŵala ŵansalile jwankongwe jula, “Indu yose ya kusalala imwasakaga mme nayo isoŵile, ni chipanje ni kulapikwa kummutwiche ni ngannyiwona sooni ng'o.”
15 The merchants of these things, who were made wealthy, shall stand far away from her, out of fear of her torments, weeping and mourning,
Ŵandu ŵa malonda ŵaŵasichile ni jwelejo musi ula, chajime kwakutalika kwaligongo lya kogopa masausyo gakwe gakaika kwasimana ni ŵanyawo.
16 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.’
Chalile ni kulila kwamalumbo achitiji, “Chanasa! Chanasa kwa au musi wekulungwa wu. Ŵasyoŵelele kuwala iwalo yeswela, ni ya sambalau ni yechejeu ni kuliilemba kwa indu yaikolochekwe kwa sahabu ni indu yekolochekwe kwa maganga ga ndalama jajikulungwa ni kuwala lulu!
17 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.
Kwa katema kamo pe ipanje yejinji yanti jeji namuna ji ijonasiche.” Ŵakusilongosya meli ni ŵakwenda mu bahali ni ŵakupanganya masengo mu meli ni ŵandu wose ŵakutenda malonda kwa litala lya bahali ŵajimi kwakutalika.
18 And they cried out, seeing the place of her conflagration, saying: ‘What city resembles this great city?’
Ŵaliweni lyosi lya musi wo ni kuti, “Ngapagwa kose musi wekulungwa mpela musi wu.”
19 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.
Ŵalitasile luundu pa mitwe jao kulosya kulilasika kwao, ŵalisile kwa liloŵe ni kulila kwa malumbo achitiji “Kulaga! Kulaga kwa musi wekulungwa! Musi wati wose ŵaali ni ngalaŵa syasikulungwa syasikwenda mmeesi ŵasichile kutyochela ni ipanje yakwe yejinji. Nambo kwa katema kamo pe usoyesye indu yose.”
20 Exult over her, O heaven, O holy Apostles and Prophets. For God has judged your judgment upon her.’”
Nsangalale mmwe kwinani! Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu pamo ni achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu! Kwaligongo lya indu yaikopochele mmusi ula, pakuŵa Akunnungu aulamwile kwa ligongo lya ipanganyo yampanganichisye ŵanyamwe!
21 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.
Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jwali ni machili ŵanyakwile lisyago, ŵaliponyisye mu bahali achitiji, “Kwanti iyiyi musi wa Babeli ni uchijile pakugumulikwa kusyene ni ngasiuwoneka sooni.
22 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.
Namose liloŵe lya ŵandu ŵakwimba ni liloŵe lya ing'wenyeng'wenye ni ŵakugomba ipeeta ni ŵakugomba mapenga ngasilipikanika sooni mwenumwe ng'o. Nombe fundi jwa masengo gagali gose ngasaoneka mwenumwe sooni ng'o namose lisegwe lya lisyago ngasilipikanika mwenumwe sooni ng'o.
23 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.
Namose lilanguka lya lumuli ngasilumulika sooni mwenumwe ng'o. Liloŵe lya mlombela ni jwakulombwa ngasilipikanika sooni kukwenu ng'o. Ŵamalonda ŵenu ŵaliji ni machili pachilambo ni usaŵi wenu walyungasisye ŵandu wose ŵa chilambo.”
24 And in her was found the blood of the Prophets and of the Saints, and of all who were slain upon the earth.”
Wele musi wa Babeli walamulikwe kwa ligongo mu nkati mwakwe jawoneche miasi ja ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni miasi ja aŵala wose ŵaŵaulajikwe pachilambo.
