Revelation 17

1 And one of the seven messengers who had the seven bowls came, and spake with me, saying—Hither! I will point out to thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters,

Umwi wabaangelo balimusanu ababili bakajisi mitiba wakasika akundambila kuti, “sika, ndiyokutondezya chibi chasibwamu mupati ukkede atala amanzi mingi,

2 with whom the kings of the earth committed lewdness, —and they who were dwelling upon the earth were made drunk with the wine of her lewdness.

Oyo, baami baansi ngubakachita awe bwamu, awayini wabwamu bwakwe bayakide ansi bakakolwa.”

3 And he carried me away into a desert, in spirit. And I saw a woman, sitting upon a scarlet wild-beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Mpawo angelo wakandibweza mumuuya akunditola munkanda, alimwi ndakabona mwanakazi ukkede amunyama uusalala wakali zwide mazina akusampawula. Echo chinyama chakali amitwe ilimusanu ayibili ameja aali kkumi.

4 And, the woman, was arrayed with purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, —having a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness;

Mwanakazi wakazwete zisamo zyamusyobo wamuntumbula azisalala kazingayima alimwi zyakalivwelene angolida, amabwe mayandisi, amabwe akubumba atuba. Wakajisi inkomesi izyangolide mumaboko akwe zyakazwide zintu zitayandiki azisofwede abwamu bwakwe.

5 and, upon her forehead, a name written, a secret: Babylon the great, the Mother of the Harlots and of the Abominations of the earth.

Ankumu yakwe wakalembedwe izina lyakali abupanduluzi busisikene: “Babbiloni mupati, banyina babasimamambe abusofwazi bwazintu zyansi.”

6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I was astonished, when I beheld her, with great astonishment.

Ndakabona mwanakazi kakoledwe bulowa bwabantu basalala ba Leza abulowa bapenzegwa nkambo kakusyoma Jesu. Nindakamubona, ndakayowesya kapati.

7 And the messenger said unto me—Wherefore wast thou astonished? I, will tell thee the secret of the woman, and of the wild-beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.

Pesi mungelo wakandambila kuti, “ninzi nchoyowa? Ndiyokupandulwida zisisikene zyiminina mwanakazi achinyama chimubwezede, chinyama echo chilamitwe ilimusanu ayibili ameja alikkumi.

8 The wild-beast which thou sawest, was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and into, destruction, goeth away. And they who are dwelling upon the earth whose name is not written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, when they see the wild-beast, because it was, and is not, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)

Chinyama nchiwakabona kachipona, tachchiponi pe lino, alimwi chamba kusika aansi loko amulindi. Mpawo ulayinkila mukunyonyoka. Abo bapona munyika, abo bajanika mazina aabo katalembedwe pe mubbuku lyabuumi kuzwa muntalisyo yanyika - bayoyowesya nibakubona chinyama, nkambo chakaliwo, alimwi lino tachiwope, alimwi chiyoboola. (Abyssos g12)

9 Here, is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads, are, seven mountains, whereupon the woman sitteth;

Eechi chaamba boongo bulabusongo. Mitwe ilimusanu ayibili ntulundulundu tuli musanu atubili omo mwanakazi mwakkede.

10 and they are, seven kings: the five, have fallen, the one, is, the other, hath not yet come; and, whensoever he shall come, a little while, must he remain,

Kuli baami alubo bali musanu ababli, baami balimusanu baliwide, umwi uchipona, alimwi bamwi tabanasikape, alimwi nazosika, uyelede kuzoyimikila kayindi kanini.

11 and the wild-beast which was and is not. And he, is an eighth, and is, of the seven, —and, into destruction, goeth away.

Chinyama chakasikide, alimwi pesi tachiponi pe, ngomwani wamusanu atutat, uzwa kulibali musanu ababili aboobo uya kulunyonyoko lwakwe.

12 And, the ten horns which thou sawest, are, ten kings, —who, indeed, have not received, sovereignty, as yet, but, authority, as kings, for one hour, shall receive, with the wild-beast.

Meeja aalya nguwakabona alikkumi mbibaami balikkumi batana tambula bwami bwabo, pesi bayotambula bwandelezi mbuli baami klwachiindi chomwe antomwe achinyama.

13 These, have, one mind, and, their power and authority, unto the wild-beast, they give.

Obu mbubongo bumwi, alimwi buyopa nguzu abwendelezi kuchinyama.

14 These, with the Lamb, will make war; and, the Lamb, will overcome them, because he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings, —and, they who are with him, are called and chosen and faithful.

Bayoliya nkondo amwana mbelele, pesi mwanambelele uyobazunda nkambo ngu Leza waba leza, a Mwami wabami- abaabo balawe mbayitwe, basalidwe, abasyomekede.”

15 And he saith unto me—The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are, peoples and multitudes, and nations and tongues.

Mungelo wakandambila kuti, “Manzi ngiwakabona awo simamambe mpakakkede, mbibantu, biingi manyika amyambo.

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the wild-beast, these, shall hate the harlot, and, desolate, shall make her, and naked, and, her flesh, shall they eat, and, herself, shall they burn up with fire.

Meja alikkumi ngiwakabona - boo lwabo achinyama bayosula simamambe. Bayochisiya achilikke achintanda, bayochilya nyama yacho alimwi bayochitenta chikamaninine mumulilo.

17 For, God, hath put into their hearts, to do his mind, and to do one mind, —and to give their sovereignty unto the wild-beast, until the words of God shall be completed.

Nkambo Leza wabikka mumyoyo yabo kuti babweze makanze akuzuminina kupa nguzu abwendelezi kuchinyama mane Ijwi lya Leza lizuzikizigwe.

18 And, the woman whom thou sawest, is the great city, which hath sovereignty over the kings of the earth.

Mwanakazi nguwabona nidolopo pati eliya lilanguzu zyakwendelezya atala abami banyika.”
