< Okuswelulwa 13 >

1 Okumala lijoka nilimelegulu ingulu yo musango kunjejekela ya ku mwalo. Okumala nindola ityanyi nisoka mu nyanja. Yaliga ili na mayembe ekumi ne mitwe musanju. Mu mayembe gajo jaliga jilimo jitenga ekumi, na mumutwe gwaye galiga galimo na masango go kumufuma Nyamuanga.
Then the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten crowns, and on each of its heads was a blasphemous name.
2 Ityanyi inu nalolele ili lwa Indala. Amagulu gayo galiga gali uti Talago, no munwa gwalyo guli lwa Intale. Lijoka lilya nilimuyana amanaga, na ku chitebhe chaye echo bhutungi, no bhuyinga obhwa managa muno ago bhutungi.
This beast I saw was like a leopard. Its feet were like a bear's feet, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave his power to it, and his throne, and his great authority to rule.
3 Ku imwi ya jityanyi ejo omutwe gwayo gwaliga nigubhonekana guli na liuta enene elyo lyakaletelee olufu lwalyo. Mbe nawe liuta lyaye niliulila, ne chalo chona nichilugusibhwa na nichiilubha intyanyi.
One of the beast's heads appeared to have been killed, but its fatal wound was healed. The whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.
4 One nibhalilamya lijoka, kulwo kubha aiyanile obhutungi Intyanyi Ilya. One nibhalilamya Intyanyi, na nibhagendelela okwaika ati, “niga unu ali nka Intyanyi? “Na niga unu katula okulama nayo?”
They also worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast. They worshiped the beast, too, and kept saying, “Who is like the beast?” and “Who can fight against it?”
5 Mbe Intyanyi niyanwa omunwa koleleki yaike emisango jo kwikuya ne bhifumi. Ekilisibhwe okubha no bhutungi kwa mesi makumi gana na gabhili.
The beast was given a mouth that could speak proud words and blasphemies. It was permitted to exercise authority for forty-two months.
6 Kwibhyo lityanyi elyo nilyasama omunwa gwalyo nilyaika ebhifumi ebhyo kumufuma Nyamuanga, nilifuma lisina lyaye, na nibhala linu aliga ekaye na bhaliya bhanu bhekaye Mulwile.
So the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God—blaspheming his name, the place where he lives, and those who live in heaven.
7 Lityanyi elyo nilikilisibhwa okukola lilemo na bhekilisha no kubhaiga. One, niliyanwa obhutungi ku bhuli luganda, bhuli bhanu, bhuli nyaika na bhuli Eyanga.
The beast was permitted to wage war with the saints and to conquer them. Also, authority was given to it over every tribe, people, language, and nation.
8 Bhona bhanu bhekaye muchalo mbalililamya lyenene, bhuli umwi unu lisina lyaye lichaliga kwandikwa, kusokelela kumogwa kwe Chalo, mu chitabho cho bhuanga, chinu chili cho mwana wa Inama unu etilwe.
All who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written, since the creation of the world, in the Book of Life, which belongs to the Lamb, who had been slaughtered.
9 Omunu wone wone akabha ali no kutwi kwo kungwa, nongwe.
If anyone has an ear, let him listen.
10 Akabha oumwi wabho akenda okugwatwa no kugegwa, mbe kagwatwa no kusilwa. Akabha oumwi wabho aketa kwa lipanga, one ketibhwa kwa lipanga. Bhunu ni bhubhilikisi bhwo bhucholele no bhwigumilisha ne likilisha kwabho bhanu bhali bhalengelesi.
If anyone is to be taken into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. Here is a call for the patient endurance and faith of the saints.
11 Lindi nindola Intyanyi eindi niija okusoka mu Chalo. Yaliga ili na mayembe gabhili kuti Inyabhalega na niyaika kuti njoka.
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon.
12 Nelesha obhutungi bhona ku ntyanyi ilya eyo kwamba mu kubhao kwayo, no kukola mu chalo na bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhekaye nibhailamya Intyanyi ilya eyo kwamba, uliya unu liuta lyaye lyeuliye.
It exercised all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and it made the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast—the one whose lethal wound had been healed.
13 Nakola ebhilugusho ebhya managa, kukingila nakola omulilo nigwika mu chalo okusoka Mulwile imbele ya bhanu,
It performed mighty miracles. It even made fire come down on the earth from heaven in front of people.
14 na kwe chibhalikisho nekilisibhwa okukola, nabhajiga-jiga abho bhekaye mu Chalo, nabhabhwila okukonja ebhisusano kwe chibhalo Cha Intyanyi inu yaliga iutasibhwe kwa lipanga, mbe nawe achalamile.
By the signs it was permitted to do, it deceived those who lived on the earth. It told them to make an image in honor of the beast that had the sword wound but lived.
15 Ekilisibhwe okusosha omwika mu chisusano chilya echa Intyanyi koleleki echisusano chitule okwaika no kuletelela bhaliya bhona bhanu bhalemele okuilamya Intyanyi bhetwe.
It was permitted to give breath to the beast's image so that the image would even speak and cause all who refused to worship the beast to be killed.
16 One nasinyilisha bhuli umwi, unu atana chibhalo na managa, obhubhibhi no bhutaka, okusulumulwa no bhugaya, okulamila olunyamo mu kubhoko kwaye okwebhulyo amwi ku chisusu cho bhusu bhwaye.
It also forced everyone, unimportant and mighty, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.
17 Yaliga ili ati itakutulikana ku bhuli munu okugusha amwi kugula akabha atali owo lunyamo lwa Intyanyi, na bhunu ni bhwo obhukumi bhunu obhusilisha lisina lyaye.
It was impossible for anyone to buy or sell unless he had the mark of the beast, that is, the number representing its name.
18 Chinu echenda obhumenyi. Akabha wone wone ali no bhusombokeywe, musige atule okubhala obhukumi bhwa Intyanyi. kulwo kubha ni bhukumi bhwe chinya-munu. No bhukumi bhwajo ni 666 (magana mukaga na makumi mukaga na mukaga.)
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast. For it is the number of a human being. Its number is 666.
