17 (A)Awo omu ku bamalayika omusanvu abaalina ebibya omusanvu n’ajja n’ayogera nange, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Jjangu nkulage ebigenda okutuuka ku mukazi malaaya omukulu atudde ku mazzi amangi. (B)Bakabaka ab’oku nsi bayenda naye n’abantu ab’oku nsi banywa omwenge ogw’obwenzi bwe ne batamiira.”

(C)Bw’atyo malayika n’antwala mu mwoyo, mu ddungu, ne ndaba omukazi ng’atudde ku kisolo ekimyufu ekyalina emitwe omusanvu n’amayembe ekkumi, okwali kuwandiikiddwa amannya agavvoola Katonda. (D)Omukazi yali ayambadde engoye bbiri olugoye olumyufu n’olwa kakobe era ng’alina n’ebintu ebirala eby’omuwendo, nga zaabu n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, era ng’akutte mu mukono gwe ekikompe ekya zaabu nga kijjudde eby’omuzizo byonna eby’obwenzi bwe. (E)Ebiwandiiko eby’ekyama byali biwandiikiddwa ku kyenyi kye nga bigamba nti:

Babulooni Ekibuga Ekikulu

Nnyina wa Bamalaaya bonna,

era Nnyina w’Eby’emizizo mu nsi.

(F)Ne ndaba omukazi ng’atamidde omusaayi gw’abatukuvu, awamu n’ogw’abajulirwa abattibwa olwa Yesu.

Bwe namulaba ne neewuunya. (G)Malayika n’ambuuza nti, “Lwaki weewuunya? Nzija kukunnyonnyola ebyama eby’omukazi oyo era n’ekisolo kw’atudde ekirina emitwe omusanvu n’amayembe ekkumi. (H)Ekisolo kye walabye kyaliwo, naye kaakano tekikyaliwo era mu bbanga ttono kiriggyibwa mu bunnya obutakoma kiryoke kizikirizibwe. Abantu abali ku nsi amannya gaabwe nga tegawandiikiddwa mu kitabo eky’Obulamu okuva ensi lwe yatondebwa, balyewuunya okulaba ekisolo ekyaliwo, ne kitabeerawo, ate ne kiddamu okubeerawo.

(I)“Kale kyetaaga amagezi n’okutegeera. Emitwe omusanvu ze nsozi omusanvu omukazi kw’atudde, era be bakabaka omusanvu. 10 Abataano baagwa, omu y’aliwo kaakano, naye omulala tannajja wabula bw’anajja kimugwanira okubeerawo ekiseera kitono. 11 (J)Ekisolo ekyaliwo, kaakano nga tekikyaliwo, ky’eky’omunaana, kyokka kiri nga biri omusanvu; era nakyo kirizikirizibwa.

12 (K)“Amayembe ekkumi ge walaba be bakabaka ekkumi abatannaweebwa buyinza kufuga; balirondebwa okufugira wamu n’ekisolo okumala essaawa emu. 13 (L)Bonna bassa kimu era baliwa ekisolo ekikambwe, amaanyi n’obuyinza bwabwe. 14 (M)Bano balyegatta wamu okulwanyisa Omwana gw’Endiga, kyokka Omwana gw’Endiga alibawangula kubanga ye Mukama wa bakama era Kabaka wa bakabaka, abali awamu naye be yayita era abalonde be abeesigwa.”

15 (N)Awo malayika n’aŋŋamba nti, “Amazzi ge walaba omukazi omwenzi kw’atudde, be bantu n’ebibinja by’abantu aba buli kika n’aba buli lulimi. 16 (O)Ekisolo n’amayembe ekkumi bye walaba birikyawa omukazi oyo ne bimulumba ne bimulwanyisa, era birimuleka bwereere nga talina ky’ayambadde ne birya omubiri gwe, ne bimwokya n’omuliro. 17 (P)Kubanga Katonda ye yakibiwa bituukirize ebyo bye yasiima okukola, n’okukola n’omwoyo gumu n’okuwa obwakabaka bwabwe ekisolo ekyo okutuusa ekigambo kya Katonda lwe kirituukirira. 18 (Q)Ate omukazi gwe walabye, ky’ekibuga ekikulu ekifuga bakabaka bonna ab’oku nsi.”

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast

17 One of the seven angels(A) who had the seven bowls(B) came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment(C) of the great prostitute,(D) who sits by many waters.(E) With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”(F)

Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit(G) into a wilderness.(H) There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet(I) beast that was covered with blasphemous names(J) and had seven heads and ten horns.(K) The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls.(L) She held a golden cup(M) in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.(N) The name written on her forehead was a mystery:(O)

babylon the great(P)

the mother of prostitutes(Q)

and of the abominations of the earth.

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people,(R) the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.

When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery(S) of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.(T) The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss(U) and go to its destruction.(V) The inhabitants of the earth(W) whose names have not been written in the book of life(X) from the creation of the world will be astonished(Y) when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.

“This calls for a mind with wisdom.(Z) The seven heads(AA) are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not,(AB) is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

12 “The ten horns(AC) you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour(AD) will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.(AE) 14 They will wage war(AF) against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over(AG) them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings(AH)—and with him will be his called, chosen(AI) and faithful followers.”

15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters(AJ) you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.(AK) 16 The beast and the ten horns(AL) you saw will hate the prostitute.(AM) They will bring her to ruin(AN) and leave her naked;(AO) they will eat her flesh(AP) and burn her with fire.(AQ) 17 For God has put it into their hearts(AR) to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority,(AS) until God’s words are fulfilled.(AT) 18 The woman you saw is the great city(AU) that rules over the kings of the earth.”
