18 Bino byo byapichile, namwene malaika mukwabo saka afuma mwiulu na luusa lukatampe, ne lukumo lwanji lwasamine pa ntanda.
2 Kabiji wabijikile na jiwi jakosa amba: “Wapona! Babilona Mukatampe wapona,+ kabiji waaluka ke mpunzha mwa kwikala bandemona, mwa kwikala mipashi* yatama ne bintu byonse bya biko ne bañonyi bo bashikwa!+
3 Mambo binyu bya bulalelale* bwanji bibindankanya* muchima, byalengela bisaka bya bantu byonse kupendwa,+ kabiji bamfumu ba pa ntanda baubile nanji bulalelale,+ ne bapoteshi* ba pa ntanda baikele banonshi na mambo a bintu byanji byavula bya buneme byo abula kubila bumvu.”
4 Kabiji naumvwine jiwi jikwabo kufuma mwiulu amba: “Anweba bantu bami, lupukaimo mwi aye,+ inge kechi mukeba kwivwangamo mu bubi bwanji ne, kabiji inge kechi mukeba kupitamo mu binkunka byanji ne.+
5 Mambo bubi bwanji bwafika ne mwiulu,+ kabiji Lesa wavuluka byubilo byanji byatama.*+
6 Mumubile monka mo aubilanga bakwabo,+ kine, pa bintu byo aubilenga mumubikilepo ne bikwabo bya byonkabyo;+ bintu byo avwangakenye mu katomeno+ mumuvwangilemo ne bikwabo bya byonkabyo.+
7 Monka mo etumbijikile mwine ne kwikala na bintu bya buneme byo abula kubila bumvu, mumanyikilai monkamo ne kumulengela kujila. Mambo wamba mu muchima wanji amba: ‘Amiwa nemfumu wa mukazhi uji pa jitanda, kabiji kechi nemwanamukazhi wafwilwa ne, kabiji kechi nkajilapo ne.’+
8 O ene mambo mu jubatu jimo binkunka byanji bikamufikila, lufu ne kujila ne nzala, kabiji bakamusokatu pelu na mujilo,+ mambo Yehoba* Lesa wamuzhachishe, ye wakosa.+
9 “Kabiji bamfumu ba pa ntanda baubile nanji bulalelale* ne kwikala nanji mu bintu byanji bya buneme byo abula kubila bumvu, bakamujila ne kuba bulanda byo bakamona bwishi bwa kupya kwanji.
10 Bakemanatu palepa byobya na mambo a kuchina kumanama kwanji ne kwamba’mba: ‘Kyatama bingi, kyatama bingi, obewa muzhi mukatampe,+ Babilona obewa muzhi wakosa, mambo kuzhatwa kobe kwa kufikila mu jiolatu jimo!’
11 “Kabiji bapoteshi ba pa ntanda nabo bamujijilenga ne kujila mabingo, mambo kafwako wa kupota bipe byabo byonse ne,
12 bipe byonse bya ngolode, bya siliva, bya mabwe a buneme, bya bamangalite, bisapi bya linenyi byawamisha, bisapi byachiluluka, bisapi byalezhima, ne bisapi byachijisha; ne bintu byonse byo basonga ku bichi; ne bintu byonse byalengwa kufuma ku meno a banzovu, ne ku bichi byawamisha, bya mukuba, bya kapotwe, ne bya mabwe a myalamyala;
13 ne bya kichi kya kinamonyi, binunka bulongo bya ku India, bya kufutumuna, manyi a anunka bulongo, bya kufutumuna binunka bulongo, binyu, manyi a maolivi, fulaulo wawama, wichi, bañombe, mikooko, bambili, bikochikala, bazha ne bantu.*
14 Kine bipangwa byawama obewa* byo wakebanga byakunyema, ne kajo konse kawama ne bintu byawamisha byapwa, kabiji kechi bikamwekapo jibiji ne.
15 “Bapoteshi bapoteshenga bino bintu, bonka banonkele na mambo a aye, bakemana palepa byobya na mambo a kuchina kumanama kwanji kabiji bakamujila ne kujila mabingo,
16 amba, ‘Kyatama bingi, kyatama bingi, obewa muzhi mukatampe, wavwajile kisapi kya linenyi kyawamisha ne kyachiluluka ne kyachijisha, kabiji wikobaikile bya buneme bya ngolode ne bya mabwe a buneme ne bya bamangalite,+
17 mambo buno bunonshi bobe bukatampe bebonauna mu jiolatu jimo!’
“Kabiji bakulumpe bonse ba maato ne bonse benda mu maato ne bakyabusha ne bonse bamwena mali mu mwingilo wa pa kalunga ka mema, baimene palepa byobya
18 kabiji batamine muteto byo bamwene bwishi bwafuminenga po apijilenga ne kwamba’mba: ‘Ñanyi muzhi uji nobe uno muzhi mukatampe?’
19 Bepukwilenga lukungu ku mitwe yabo ne kutama miteto saka bajila ne kujila mabingo amba: ‘Kyatama bingi, kyatama bingi, obewa muzhi mukatampe, mo baikejile na bunonshi aba bonse baji na maato pa kalunga ka mema na mambo a bunonshi bwanji, mambo bamonauna mu jiolatu jimo!’+
20 “Sekelai na mambo a aye, anweba meulu,+ ne anweba bazhijikwa+ ne batumwa ne bangauzhi, mambo uno mwanamukazhi Lesa wimuzhachishishaye!”+
21 Kabiji malaika wakosa washikwile jibwe jajinga nobe mpelo ikatampe ne kwijitaya pa kalunga ka mema ne kwamba’mba: “Bino byo byo bakamutaya panshi bukiji Babilona muzhi mukatampe, kabiji kechi ukamwekapo jibiji ne.+
22 Kabiji jiwi ja banyimbi baimbilenga pa byansa ne ja bañomba ne ja bavumya mimpempe, ne ja bavumya matolompita kechi jikomvwanyikapo jibiji mwi obewa ne. Kabiji kafwako sendwe wingila mwingilo yense ukatanwa mwi obewa jibiji ne, kabiji mpelo kechi ikomvwanyikapo jibiji mwi obewa ne.
23 Kabiji kyeya kya lampi kechi kikamwekapo jibiji mwi obewa ne, ne jiwi ja musongoshi ne ja musongwa kechi jikomvwanyikapo jibiji mwi obewa ne; mambo bapoteshi bobe bo bajinga bakulumpe bene pa ntanda, kabiji bisaka bya bantu byonse byaongwelwe na mambo a byubilo byobe bya kupopwela mipashi.+
24 Mwi aye mwatainwe mashi a bangauzhi, a bazhijikwa+ ne a bonse bo baipayile pa ntanda.”+
