Revelation 12
1 Then something very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a woman, whose [appearance and] clothing were [MET] as bright as the sun. The moon was under her feet. On her head was a crown [that was made] of twelve stars.
Lino kayi cingashilo cinene ciyosha calaboneka mwilu. Kwalaboneka mutukashi walikuba wafwala lisuba, walikuba wekala kali walyata myendo yakendi pa mwenshi, ku mutwi walikuba wafwala cishoti ca bwami cikute nyenyenshi likumi ne shibili.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Walikukute libunda, nomba mutukashuyo mpwalikuba pepi kutumbuka, walikulila cebo cakubabwa kwa pakutumbuka.
3 Something else very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon. It had seven heads and ten horns. On each of its heads was a royal crown.
Lino kayi cingashilo nacimbi calaboneka mwilu. Ndalabona cishinshimwe cinene calikukute mitwi isanu ne ibili ne meca likumi kayi ne tushoti tusanu ne tubili twa bwami ku mutwi umo ne umo.
4 The dragon’s tail dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon set himself in front of the woman who was about to give birth, in order that he might eat her child as soon as it was born.
Mucila waco walakulumuna mbasu shitatu sha nyenyenshi mwilu ne kushiwala pa cishi capanshi. Cishinshimwe ico calatankamana kuntangu pepi ne mutukashi kwambeti atumbukowa cimulye mwana.
5 The woman gave birth to a son, who [is destined] to rule all the nations with [complete authority as if he was using] [MET] an iron rod [MET]. [God] snatched away her child and took him to [rule from] his throne.
Usa mutukashi walatumbuka mwana mutuloba, eshakendeleshe mishobo yonse ne nkoli ya cela. Nomba mwanoyo walasompolwa ne kutwalwa kuli Lesa kuya kwikala pa cipuna cakendi ca bwami.
6 The woman fled to a desert. She has a place there that God has prepared for her, in order that [the angels] may take care of her for 1,260 days.
Neye mutukashi walafwambila ku cinyika, uko Lesa nkwalamubambila musena wakumulelelako kwa masuba cina cimo ne myanda ibili ne makumi asanu ne limo.
7 [In the vision I saw that] there was a battle in heaven. Michael and the angels that he [commanded] fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back [against Michael and his angels].
Lino nkondo yalabalamuka kwilu. Mikayeli ne bangelo bakendi balalwana ne Shinshimwe, nendi Shinshimwe walikuba ne bangelo bakendi balalwanisha,
8 But the dragon did not win the battle, so [God] did not allow the dragon and his angels to stay in heaven any longer.
nomba Shinshimwe ne bangelo baco balakomwa, nkabalasuminishiwa kwikala mumusena wabo kwilu.
9 The huge dragon was thrown {[Michael and his angels] threw the huge dragon} out [of heaven]. The dragon is the ancient serpent, [the one] who is called the Devil and Satan. He is the one who deceives [people all over] the earth. He was thrown down to the earth, along with all his angels.
Cishinshimwe cinene calawalwa panshi, Shinshimwe wakaindi mwipishi ukute kukwiweti Satana, Muyungaushi wacishi capanshi conse. Balaciwala pa cishi capanshi pamo ne bangelo bakendi.
10 Then I heard [someone] in heaven shout loudly, saying, Now our God has saved his people by his power, and he rules everyone! Now the Messiah, the one who is the supreme ruler whom God appointed, has authority to rule all people, because our God has thrown out of heaven the one who accuses our fellow believers! The dragon is the one who accuses them day and night before our God, saying that they have sinned and that God ought to punish them.
Pa cindi copeleco, ndalanyumfwa liswi lyakompolola kwilu akwambeti, Lino Lesa latupulushu! Lesa laleshe ngofu shakendi sha Bwami! Lino neye Wananikwa laleshe bwendeleshi bwakendi! Pakwinga usa wemananga pa menso a Lesa wetu, Wabepeshelanga banse betu pamenso a Lesa munshi ne mashiku lawalwa pa cishi capanshi.
11 Our fellow believers overcame the dragon because they never stopped trusting (OR, never stopped telling people about) Jesus, and because they trusted in what Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, accomplished when his blood flowed when he died. Even though those believers wanted to live, they were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
Banse betu balamukomo cebo ca milopa ya Mwana Mbelele kayi ne cancine ncine ncebali kukambauka. Balikuba balibambila kuyaba buyumi bwabo pacindi ncebali kulangana ne lufu.
12 So, all you angels living [MTY] in heaven, rejoice! But terrible things will happen to you ungodly people who [MTY] live on the earth and on the ocean, because the devil has come down to you! He is very angry because he knows that he has only a short time during which he can harm people.
“Neco kokondwa obe kwilu, ne mwense mwekala kwiluko! Nsombi malele kuli njamwe mwekala pa cishi capanshi ne pa lwenje! Muyungaushi, lesa uko panshi kulinjamwe, wesula ne bukalu pakwinga ucinsheti kacindi nikang'ana kalamushalili.”
13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown {that [the angels] had thrown him} down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to a son.
Lino cishinshimwe mpocalenshibeti cilawalwa pa cishi capanshi, calatatika kukonka usa mutukashi walatumbuka mwana mutuloba.
14 But the woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large eagle, in order that she might fly to a desolate place. That is a place [that God] has prepared for her. There she was taken care of {[God’s angels] took care of her} for three and a half years. The serpent, [that is, the dragon], was not able to reach her there.
Mutukashuyo walapewa mapepe abili alyeti acikumbula munene, kwambeti acikonshe kuluka kuya ku musena wakendi ku cinyika. Nkwalakalelwa cena kwa byaka bitatu ne cintimbwi kuyuba cishinshimwe cisa.
15 The serpent spewed water like a river from his mouth in the direction of the woman, in order that the water might sweep her away.
Lino cishinshimwe pakukonka mutukashi calapomona menshi angi mu mulomo waco alabeti mulonga kwambeti mutukashi usa enga ne menshi.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Nomba cishi capanshi calamunyamfwa mutukashi, calacaluka ne kumina menshi ngocalapomona cishinshimwe mu mulomo waco.
17 Then the dragon was very angry with the woman, so he went away to fight against [the people who are like] the rest of her descendants. They are the people who obey God’s commandments and who tell other people about Jesus (OR, hold fast to what Jesus taught them).
Ici ecalapesheti cishinshimwe cikalale cikamba ne mutukashi usa, neco calaya kulwana ne banabendi mutukashi kayi ne bantu bonse balanyumfwilinga milawo ya Lesa abo bashoma cancinencine calayubululwa ne Yesu.
