Revelation

17

1One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
1 Gannaaw loolu benn ci juróom-ñaari malaaka, ya taawu juróom-ñaari ndab ya, ñëw ne ma: «Kaay, ma won la mbugalu jigéenu moykat bu mag, bi toog ci dex yu bare.
2with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
2 Moom la buuri àddina si àndal ci seen njaaloo. Ci biiñu moy Yàllaam la waa àddina màndee.»
3He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
3 Noonu Xelum Yàlla solu ma, malaaka ma yóbbu ma ca màndiŋ ma. Foofa ma gis fa jigéen ju war rab wu xonq te am juróom-ñaari bopp ak fukki béjjén, yaram wa fees ak turi xarab Yàlla.
4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.
4 Jigéen ja sol lu yolet te xonq, takk wurus ak jamaa ak ay per. Yoroon na koppu wurus bu fees ak ñaawteef ak sobeem.
5And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
5 Bindoon nañu ci jëwam tur wii ëmb kumpa, mu di: Babilon mu mag mi, ndeyi jigéeni moykat yi ak ñaawteefi àddina yi.
6I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
6 Ma gis jigéen ja màndi ci deretu gaayi Yàlla yi, ci deretu ñi doon seedeel Yeesu. Naka laa ko gis, ma daldi jaaxle lool.
7The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
7 Malaaka ma ne ma: «Lu tax nga jaaxle? Dinaa la leeralal kumpag jigéen ji ak rab, wi mu war te am juróom-ñaari bopp ak fukki béjjén.
8The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.
8 Rab wi nga gis nekkoon na waaye nekkatul. Dina génn ca kàmb gu xóot ga, ba noppi sànku. Noonu waa àddina, ñi ñu bindul seeni tur, li dale ci njàlbéenu àddina, ci téereb dund bi, dinañu yéemu, bu ñu gisee rab wi, ndaxte nekkoon na waaye nekkatul te dina nekkaat.
9Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
9 «Xam lii nag moo laaj xel. Juróom-ñaari bopp ya ñooy juróom-ñaari tund, yi jigéen ji toog ci seen kaw. Juróom-ñaari buur lañu itam:
10They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
10 juróom daanu nañu, kenn kaa ngi fi, ki ci des ñëwagul, te bu ñëwee, dina fi war a nekk ab diir.
11The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
11 Rab wi nekkoon te nekkatul nag, moom ci boppam moo di juróom-ñetteelu buur bi, te ci juróom-ñaar yi la bokk. Ma nga jëm sànkute.
12The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
12 «Fukki béjjén yi nga gis, fukki buur lañu yu jotagul nguur. Waaye dinañu jot sañ-sañ diirub waxtu, ñuy nguuru ak rab wi.
13These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
13 Ñoo bokk mébét, di jox seen kàttan ak seen sañ-sañ rab wi.
14These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful.”
14 Dinañu xare ak Mbote mi, waaye Mbote mi dina leen daan, ndaxte mooy kilifag kilifa yi, di Buuru buur yi. Te am toppam, di ñi mu woo te tànn leen, te ñu takku ci moom, dinañu daanandoo ak moom.»
15He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
15 Mu neeti ma: «Dex yi nga gis jigéenu moykat ja toog ca kaw, mooy réew yi ak mbooloo yi ak xeet yi ak kàllaama yi.
16The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
16 Fukki béjjén yi nga gis, ñoom ak rab wa, dinañu bañ jigéenu moykat ja, futti ko ci lépp, def ko yaramu neen. Dinañu lekk suuxam, ba noppi lakk ko ci safara.
17For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
17 Ndaxte Yàlla def na ci seen xol, ñu matal la mu naroon. Noonu dinañu ànd, jébbal seen nguur rab wi, ba kera li Yàlla wax di mat.
18The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
18 Te jigéen ji nga gis, moo di dëkk bu mag, biy nguuru ci kaw buuri àddina si.»
