Ufunuo 17
1 Mmonga ghwa malaika saba ajhele ni fitasa saba ahidili ni kunijobhela, “Hidai, nibeta kulasya hukumu jha kahaba mbaha jhaitama panani pa masi ghamehele,
AND one of the seven angels who had the seven vases, came to me, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither, I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters:
2 ambajhe bhafalme bha nchi bhabhombili mambo gha uzinzi ni muene ni panani pa mvinyo bhwa uzinzi bhwa muene bhabhitama paduniani bhagalisibhu.”
with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and all the inhabitants of the world have intoxicated themselves with the wine of her whoredom.
3 Malaika akanitola mu Roho mpaka KU nyika, na nambwene n'dala atamili panani pa mnyama n'dung'u jhaamemili mahina gha matukano. Mnyama ajhele ni mitu saba ni mang'eru kumi.
And he bore me away in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns.
4 N'dala afwatikibhu nghobho sya dhambarau ni sidung'u na apambibhu kwa dhahabu, maganga gha thamani, ni lulu. Ajhele akamulili mu kibhoko kya muene kikombi kya dhahabu kyakimemili fenu fya machukizo gha uchafu bhwa uasherati bhuake.
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and all over decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and of the impurity of her whoredom.
5 Panani pa lipaji lya pamihu pa siri: “BABELI MBAHA, MABHU GHWA MAKAHABA NI GHWA MADADISILU GHA NCHI.”
And upon her forehead was there a name written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother or harlots, and of the abominations of the earth.
6 Nabhwene jha kujha n'dala ojhu ajhele angalili kwa damu jha bhaumini ni damu jha bhabhafuili kwa ndabha jha Yesu. Wakati nimbhwene, najhele ni mshangao mbaha.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
7 Lakini malaika akan'jobhela, “Kwandajha kiki ghwishangala? Nibetakujhelekesya maana jha n'dala ni mnyama jhaan'tolili (Mnyama ojho jha ajhe ni mitu saba ni ghala mang'eru kumi).
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath seven heads and ten horns.
8 Mnyama jha umbwene ajhele, ajhelepi kabhele henu, lakini ajhe tayari kukwela kuhoma mu lilende lya libelikujha ni mwishu. Kisha ibeta kujhendelela ni uharibifu. Bhala bhabhitama, panani pa nchi, bhala ambabho mahina gha bhene ghajhandikibhu lepi mu kitabu kya uzima kuhoma kubhekibhwa misingi ghwa ulimwengu - bhibeta kusyangala pabhibeta kumbona mnyama jhajhele, ajhelepi henu, lakini ajhe karibu kuhida. (Abyssos g12)
The beast which thou seest was, and is not; and shall come up out of the abyss of hell, and shall go into perdition: and the dwellers upon earth will wonder, (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, ) when they shall see the beast which was, and is not, though he is. (Abyssos g12)
9 Wito obho kwandabha jha luhala lwa lujhele ni hekima. Mitu saba ndo fidonda saba ambapo n'dala atamili panani pa muene.
Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman is seated even upon them.
10 Nabhu kabhele ndo bhafalme saba. Bhafalme bhahanu bhabinili, mmonga ajhele, ni jhongi ahidilipi, akona; pa ibetakuhida, ibetakutama kwa muda mfupi tu.
And these are seven kings: five have fallen, and the one exists, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must abide but a little while.
11 Mnyama jha ajhele, lakini henu ajhelepi, muene kabhele ndo Mfalme ghwa nene; lakini ndo mmonga ghwa bhala bhafalme saba, na ilota mu uharibifu.
And the beast which was, and is not, though he is himself the eighth, yet is of the seven, and shall go away into perdition.
12 Ghala mang'eru kumi gha ughabhuene ndo bhafalme kumi ambabho bhapokili lepi ufalme, lakini bhibetakupokela mamlaka kama bhafalme kwa lisaa limonga pamonga ni mnyama.
And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms; but will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
13 Abha bhajhe ni shauri limonga, na bhibeta kumpela nghofu sya bhene ni mamlaka mnyama jhola.
They hold one sentiment, and will give their own power and authority to the beast.
14 Bhibeta kuleta ngondo dhidi jha bhene ni mwanakondoo. Lakini mwanakondoo ibeta kubhashinda kwa ndabha ndo Bwana ghwa mabwana ni Mfalme ghwa bhafalme - ni kwa muene twakutibhu, twachagulibhu, bhaaminifu.”
They shall make war against 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 akan'jobhela, “Masighala gha ughabhwene, pala paatamili jhola kahaba ndo bhanu, makutano, mataifa ni lugha.
And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, on which the whore sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 Mang'eru kumi ghala gha ughabhuene-esu ni jhola mnyama bhibeta kumbomba kujha mpweke ni ngoli, bhibeta kulya mb'ele ghwa muene, ni kuukosya ni muoto.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, they shall hate the whore, and make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her up with fire.
17 Maana K'yara abhekili mioyo ghya bhene kup'enda kusudi lya muene kwa makubalianu gha kumpela mnyama nghofu sya bhene kun'tawala mpaka malobhi gha K'yara pa ghibeta kutimila.
For God hath put it into their hearts to do his will, to perform one purpose, even to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
18 N'dala jhola jhaumbwene ndo mji bhola mbaha bhwawitawala panani pa bhafalme bha nchi.”
And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which holds dominion over the kings of the earth.
