Revelation 17
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
Mmonga wa vala vamitumu saba va kunani kwa Chapanga vevavi na nkeve akabwela, akanijovela, “Bwelayi, na nene yati nikulangisa uhamula weapewili yula mkemi mkulu, mweitama pamuhana ya manji gamahele.
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."
Vankosi va pamulima vakitili ukemi pamonga nayu, na vandu va pamulima vagalili divayi ya ukemi waki.”
3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
Kangi, Mpungu wa Chapanga anitolili na Mtumu wa kunani akanipeleka mbaka kulugangatu, namuwene mdala atamili panani ya chinyama chidung'u. Chinyama chila gayandikwi mahina ga kumliga Chapanga, chavi na mitu saba na mang'elu kumi.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
Mdala yula awali nyula za langi ya zambalau na yidung'u, ajinyambisi vindu vyevitengenizwi kwa zahabu na maganga ga mashonga gamahele na lulu. Mu mawoko gaki akamwili chikombi cha zahabu chechimemili mambu gegilangisa yomeso ya ukemi waki.
5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Ayandikwi panani ya chiwungi cha mihu gaki liina la mfiyu, “Babeli mkulu, nyina wa vakemi na mambu goha ga yomeso neju lwa mulima.”
6 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
Namuwene uyo mdala agalili ngasi ya vandu va Chapanga, na ngasi ya vandu vevakomiwi ndava ya kuvajovela vandu vangi mambu ga Yesu. Na penamuwene nakangisi neju.
7 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 the seven heads and the ten horns.
Nambu mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akanijovela, “Ndava kyani wikangasa?” Nene yati nikukujovela mfiyu wa mdala uyu mweatamili panani ya chinyama chechivii na mitu saba na mang'elu kumi.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and is going to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, but is to come. (Abyssos g12)
Chinyama chikali cheuchiwene chavi wumi wa kadeni nambu hinu chifwili. Nambu gapipi yati chikwela kuhuma muligodi langali mwishu nambu yati chikomewa. Vevitama pamulima yati vikangasa, ena vandu voha vangayandikwa mahina gavi kutumbula muchitabu cha wumi wa mulima, yati vikangasa kuchilola chinyama penapo kadeni chavi mumi, kavili chafwili na hinu chihumila kangi! (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
Penapa yiganikiwa kuhololela na luhala! Mitu iyo saba ndi vidunda saba ndi mdala mwenuyo itama panani yaki. Mewawa mitu yeniyo saba ndi vankosi saba.
10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
Pagati ya avo vankosi saba mhanu vamali kukomewa, mmonga yati ilongosa akona yungi kubwela, na peibwela yati ilongosa mulukumbi luhupi.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
Na chinyama chikali chila chechatamili kadeni nambu hinu chitamili lepi kavili ndi nkosi wa nane, ndi pagati ya vala saba na mwene yati ikomiwa.
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
“Gala mang'elu kumi gevagawene ndi vankosi vevakona kutumbula kulongosa. Nambu yati vipewa uhotola wa kulongosa kwa lukumbi lwa saa yimonga pamonga na chinyama chila.
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Voha avo kumi yati viyidakilana, na vene yati vachipela chila chinyama makakala gavi na uhotola wavi woha wa kulongosa vandu.
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
Yati vitovana na Mwanalimbelele nambu Mwanalimbelele pamonga na vala veavakemili na kuvahagula na vasadikika, yati akuvahotola ndava mwene ndi Bambu wa mabambu na Nkosi wa vankosi.”
15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akanijovela mewa, “Gala manji gewagawene pala peatamili yula mkemi, ndi misambi ya vandu va kila mulima na kila lukolo na kila luga na kila langi.
16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
Mang'elu gala kumi geugaweni na chila chinyama yati vakumuyomela mwenuyo mkemi, yati vitola kila chindu na kumleka waka, yati vilya nyama yaki na kutinyisa kwa motu.
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
Muni Chapanga asopili mumitima yavi chila cheigana mwene chikitiwayi, kuvya vayidakilana vene kwa vene kumpela chinyama chila uhotola wa kulongosa, mbaka Malovi ga Chapanga pegitimila.”
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
“Na yula mdala mwewamuwene ndi muji mkulu wewilongosa vankosi va milima.”
