Revelation 17

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters:

Yumo ywa malaika saba ywabile ni itasa saba kaisa ni kunimakiya, “Uichange, nalowa kukubonikiya hukumu ya kahaba nkolo ywatama nnani ya mase

2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

mengi, ywabile mpwalume ba nnema bapangite makowe ga uzinzi niywembe ni nnani ya mvinyo wa umalaya bake watama mu'dunia watileweshwa.

3 So he carried me away in the spirit (pneuma) into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Malaika kantola mu'roho mpaka mupongote, na nimweni nnwawa atami nnani ya mnyama nkele ywabile ni maina ga matukangano. Mnyama ywabile ni ntwe saba ni mbembe komi.

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Ywa nnwawa atiwala ngobo ya zambarau ni ngele ni apambwilwe kwa dhahabu, maliwe ga thamani, ni lulu. Abile akamwile kikombe sa dhahabu muluboko lwake sabile ni ilebe ya machukizo ya uchapu wa umalaya wake.

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Nnani ya paji lyake liyandikilwe lina lya siri: “BABELI NKOLO, MAO BA MAKAHABA NI ILEBE YA MACHUKIZO GA NNEMA.”

6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Namweni ya kuba nnwawa yoo abile atilebata wimbi kwa mwai ya baumini ni mwai ya balo bawile kwaajili ya Yesu. Mana kabamweni, nabile ni mshangao nkolo.

7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.

Lakini malaika kanibakiya, “Kwa mwanja namani watishangala? Nalowa kukubakiya maana ya yolo nnwawa ni mnyama ywantolile(mnyama ywabile ni ntwe saba na mbembe komi).

8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)

Mnyama ywamweni abile, ni abile kwa leno, lakini tayari kupanda kuoma mu'yembwa lyange yomoka. Boka po kayendelya ni uharibifu. Balo batamii nnani ya nnema, balo babile maina yabe yaandikilwe kwaa mu'kitabu cha ukoti tangu kubekwa misingi ya nnema-batishangala batimwona mnyama ywabile, kuwa yabile kwaa leno, lakini ywabile karibu kuyenda. (Abyssos g12)

9 And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

Wito wolo ni kwaajili ya malango ga hekima. Mitwe saba nga itombe saba yabile nnwawa atami nnani yake.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.

Ni kae nga apwalume saba. Apwalume atano gatombwike, yumo abile, ni wenge aichile kwaa bado; muda baichile, walowa tama kwa muda mwipi.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.

Mnyama ywabile, lakini ywabile, ywembe kae nga mpwalume wa nane; lakini nga yumo nkati ya balo apwalume saba, na atiyenda mu'uharibifu.

12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Mbembe komi wazibweni nga apwalume babapokeyilwe upwalume, lakini kabapokya mamlaka kati apwalume kwa lisaa limo mpamo ni mnyama.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Haba banashauri yumo, ni kabampeya ngupu yabe ni mamlaka yolo mnyama.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Kabapanga vita kati yabe na mwana ngondolo. Lakini mwana ngondolo alowa kubashinda kwa mana nga Ngwana wa mangwana na Mpwalume ba apwalume-na mu'ywembe twakemilwe, tuchaulilwe, baaminifu.”

15 And he says unto me, The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are races and tribes, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Mamlaka kanibakiya, “Galo mache gaugabweni, kabatama yolo malaya nga bandu, makutano, mataifa na lugha.

16 And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Mbembe komi zauzibweni-zabile ni yolo mnyama kabanchukiya yolo kahaba. Na kabampanga kuba kichake ni kana atewala ngobo, kabaulya bwega wake, ni kabautiniya mwoto.

17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words (rhema) of God shall be fulfilled.

Mana Nnongo abekile mumyoyo yabe ni kupotwa kusudi lyake kwa makubaliano ga kumpeya mnyama ngupu kuntawala mpaka maneno ya Nnongo gabatimya.

18 And the woman which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Yolo nnwawa wamweni nga mji wolo ubile nkolo wautawala nnani ya afalme ba nnema.”
