< Revelation 12 >

1 Then a great portent was seen in the heavens – a woman whose robe was the sun, and who had the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Ishara ngolo yaibonekine kumaunde: nwawa yayobikwe ni lumu, ni mwei pae ya magolo yabe; ni taji lya ndondwa komi ni ibele yabile kunani ya mtwe wabe.
2 She was pregnant; and she is crying out in the pain and agony of childbirth.
Abile ni ndumbo ni abile kalela kwaajili ya maumivu ya papa-katika uchungu wa beleka.
3 Another portent also was seen in the heavens There was a great red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.
Ni ishara yenge yabonekine kumaunde: Lola! Pabile ni ling'ambo likele nkolo abile ni mitwe saba ni mbembe komi, ni yabile mataji saba pamutwe yabe.
4 His tail draws after it a third of the stars in the heavens, and it hurled them down on the earth. The Dragon is standing in front of the woman who is about to give birth to the child, so that he may devour it as soon as it is born.
Nkela wabe utikokota theluthi jimo ya ndondwa kumaunde ni kuitoikwa pae mukilambo. Lingambo latiyema nnonge ya mwana nnwawa ywa karibie beleka, lenga wakati wabeleka, apale kummeza mwana wake.
5 The woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was at once caught up to God on his throne.
Atibeleka mwana, mwana nnalome, ywapala tawala mataifa yoti kwa imba ya kiuma. Mwana wake atikakatuliwa kunani ya Nnongo ni pa iteo ya enzi.
6 But the woman fled into the wilderness, where there is a place prepared for her by God, to be tended there for twelve hundred and sixty days.
Ni nnwawa atibutukiya nyikani, mahali ambapo Nnongo atiandaa eneo kwa ajili yake, lenga aweche hudumiwa kwa machoba 1,260.
7 Then a battle took place in the heavens. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. But though the Dragon, with his angels, fought,
Na mbeyambe yabile ni vita kumaunde. Mikaeli ni malaika zake batikombwana ni yolo ling'ambo; ni ywembe ling'ambo likolo ni malaika bake batikombwana nabo.
8 he did not prevail; and there was no place left for them any longer in the heavens.
Lakini ling'ambo labile ntopo ni ngupu yatosha shinda. Kwanyoo yabile ntopo nafasi kae kumaunde kwaajili yake ni malaika bake.
9 Then the great Dragon, the primeval snake, known as the “devil” and “Satan,” who deceives all the world, was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
Ling'ambo likolo -ling'ambo lelo lya kunchogo lyakemelwa ibilisi ama nchela ambalo libaya ubocho-kilambo sote latitaikuliwa pae mukilambo, ni malaika bake bataikulilwe pae pamope ni ywembe.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven which said – “Now has begun the day of the salvation, and Power, and Dominion of our God, and the Rule of his Christ; for the Accuser of our people has been hurled down, he who has been accusing them before our God day and night.
Boka po nayowine lilobe likolo boka kumaunde: “Nambeambe wokovu uichile, ngupu-ni ufalme wa Nnongo witu, ni mamlaka ya Kristo wabe, Kwa kuwa mshitaki wa anuna bitu ataikulilwe pae-anda kubashitaki nnonge ya Nnongo witu mutwekati ni kilo.
11 Their victory was due to the blood of the Lamb, and to the message to which they bore their testimony. In their love of life they shrank not from death.
Batikumshinda kwa damu ya mwana ngondolo ni kwa neno lya ushuhuda wabe, kwa maana bapendile kwa muno maisha yabe, hata waa.
12 Therefore, be glad, heaven, and all who live in heaven! Alas for the earth and for the sea, for the devil has gone down to you in great fury, knowing that he has but little time.”
Kwa nyoo, mushangilie, mwenga kumaunde, ni boti mwamutama nkati yabe, Lakini ole wa kilambo ni bahari kwa sababu mwovu atiuluka kwinu atwelile ni hasira kali, kwa mana atangite kwamba abii ni muda nchunu.
13 When the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
Wakati ling'ambo lyatangite panga lateikulilwe pae pakilambo, latikunkengama nnwawa ywa atibeleka mwana nnalome.
14 But to the woman were given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly to her place in the wilderness, where she is being tended for one year, and for two years, and for half a year in safety from the snake.
Lakini nnwawa apeilwe mabawa abele ya tai nkolo, lenga kwamba aweche goroka hadi ku'lieneo lya liandaliwe kwa ajili yake kolyo ku'jangwa, eneo ambalo aweza kuitunza mwene, nyakati ni nusu wakati-mahali pawecha kwaa kaa yolo ling'ambo.
15 Then the snake poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away.
Ling'ambo lyatipengana mache boka pankano wake kati libende, lenga apange gharika ya kumgharikisha.
16 But Earth came to her help, and opened her mouth and drank up the river which the Dragon had poured out of its mouth.
Lakini mbwee itikunyangatia nnwawa, Itiumukwa nkano wake ni milalibende launile ling'ambo boka pankano wake.
17 The Dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to fight with the rest of her offspring – those who lay to heart the commands of God and bear their testimony to Jesus;
Boka po ling'ambo atikumkachilikia nnwawa naywembe atiboka ni panga vita ni uzao wabe woti-balo babamtii amri ya Nnongo ni shirikiana ushuhuda kuhusu. Yesu.
