Okuswelulwa 17

1 Oumwi wa bhamalaika musanju unu aliga ali ne bhikeneko musanju ejile no kubhwila ati, “I'ja, enijo kukwelesha indamu ya Malaya omukulu unu enyanjile ingulu ya maji mafu,

And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters,

2 unu abhakama bhe chalo bhakolele amasango go bhulomesi nage ingulu ya malwa go bhulomesi bhwaye bhanu bhekaye mu chalo bhatamisibhwe.”

With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth, have been made drunk with the whine of her whoredom.

3 Malaika nangega mu Mwoyo kukinga mwibhala, nimulola omugasi enyanjile ku ntyanyi imutuku inu yaliga ijuye masina ago kufuma. Intyanyi eyo yaliga ili na mitwe musanju na mayembe ekumi.

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

4 Omugasi oyo nafwafibhwa omwenda go luyoyo na gumutuku na bhamunanikile kutamya kwa jijaabhu, kwa mabhui go bhubhasi bhulabhu, na jilulu. Aliga ajigwatiliye mu kubhoko kwaye ne chikombe cha ijaabhu chinu chijuye ebhinu bhya mafululusho go bhujabhi bhwo bhulomesi bhwaye.

And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.

5 Ingulu ye chisusu cho bhusu bhwaye lyandikilweko lisina lya imbisike: “BHABHEL MUKULU, MAI WA BHAMALAYA NO WEBHINU BHYA MAFULULUSHO GE CHALO.”

And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and the abominations of the earth.

6 Nindola ati omugasi oyo aliga atamilile kwa Insagama ya bhekilisha na Insagama ya bhanu bhafuye okulubhana na Yesu. Mumwanya gunu namulolele, mwabhee ne chitang'ang'alo chinene.

And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.

7 Mbe nawe Malaika nambwila ati, “Kulwaki outang'ang'ala? Enijo kukwelesha insonga yo mugasi unu na intyanyi inu imugegele (intyanyi eyo eye mitwe musanju na galya amayembe ekumi).

And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

8 Intyanyi inu walolele yaliga ilio, italio lindi woli, mbe nawe ili bhwangu okulinya okusoka mu lyobho linu litana bhutelo. Okumala kagendelela no bhunyamuke. Bhalya bhanu bhekaye mu chalo, bhalya bhanu amasina gebhwe gatandikilemo mu chitabho cho bhuanga kusoka kutelwako olufuka lwe chalo-bhalilugula bhakailola intyanyi inu yaliga ilio, ati italio woli, mbe nawe ili ayei okuja. (Abyssos g12)

The beast, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not. (Abyssos g12)

9 Okubhilikilwa kunu ni ingulu yo bhwenge bhunu bhulio no bhwengeso. Mitwe musanju ni mabhanga musanju anu omugasi oyo enyanjile ingulu yaye.

And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are seven kings:

10 Nebhyo one ni bhakama musanju. Abhakama bhatanu bhaguye, no oumwi alio, no oundi achali kuja; Omwanya ogwo akaja, kenyanja kwo mwanya mufui- la.

Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time.

11 Intyanyi eyo yaliga ilio, mbe nawe woli italio, oyo one ni mukama wa munana; mbe nawe ni umwi wa bhalya bhakama musanju, nawe kagenda mu bhunyamuke.

And the beast which was, and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into destruction.

12 Amayembe ekumi galiya ganu walolele ni bhakama ekumi bhanu bhachali kubhona obhulaka, mbe nawe abhabhona obhulaka kuti bhakama kwa mwanya gwe saa limwi amwi na liyanyi elyo.

And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast.

13 Bhanu abhaloma gumwi, na abhaliyana amanaga gebhwe no bhutulo ga lityanyi elyo.

These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast.

14 Bhalikola lilemo no mwana wa inama na kabhaiga kulwo kubha ni Latabhugenyi wa Bhalatabhugenyi no nikaja wa Bhakama- na mu mwene chabhilikiwe, chasolelwe, abheikanyibhwa.”

These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful.

15 Malaika nambwila ati, “Amaji galya ganu walolele, Anu aliga enyanjile Malaya ulya hi bhanu, ni bhise, Amaanga na jinyako.

And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and nations, and tongues.

16 Amayembe ekumi galya ganu walolele - ago ni lityanyi abho bhalimusoka Malaya ulya. Na bhene abhamusiga enyele na ali tuyu, na bhalilya omubhili gwaye, na nibhagulungusha mu mulilo.

And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.

17 Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga ateemo mu myoyo jebhwe bhinu kulwo kwenda kwaye kwo kwikilishanya no kuliyana lityanyi elyo amanaga gebhwe okumutunga kukinga lunu emisango ja Nyamuanga jilikumila.

For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled.

18 Omugasi ulya unu wabhwene ni musi gulya omunene gunu gutungule ingulu ya bhakama bhe Chalo.”

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