Ufunuo 17
- 1 Mmoja wa wale malaika saba waliokuwa na bakuli akaja, akaniambia, "Njoo, mimi nitakuonyesha adhabu aliyopewa yule mzinzi mkuu, mji ule uliojengwa juu ya maji mengi.
- 2 Wafalme wa dunia wamefanya uzinzi pamoja naye; na wakazi wa dunia wamelewa divai ya uzinzi wake."
- 3 Kisha, Roho akanikumba, akaniongoza mpaka jangwani. Huko nikamwona mwanamke ameketi juu ya mnyama mwekundu. Mnyama huyo alikuwa ameandikwa kila mahali majina ya makufuru; alikuwa na vichwa saba na pembe kumi.
- 4 Mwanamke huyo alikuwa amevaa vazi la rangi ya zambarau na nyekundu; alikuwa amejipamba kwa dhahabu, mawe ya thamani na lulu. Mkononi mwake alishika kikombe cha dhahabu ambacho kilikuwa kimejaa machukizo na mambo machafu yanayoonyesha uzinzi wake.
- 5 Alikuwa ameandikwa juu ya paji la uso wake jina la fumbo "Babuloni mkuu, mama wa wazinzi na wa mambo yote ya kuchukiza sana duniani."
- 6 Nikamwona huyo mwanamke amelewa damu ya watu wa Mungu, na damu ya watu waliouawa kwa sababu ya kumtangaza Yesu. Nilipomwona nilishangaa mno.
- 7 Lakini malaika akaniambia, "Kwa nini unashangaa? Mimi nitakuambia maana iliyofichika ya mwanamke huyu na mnyama huyo amchukuaye ambaye ana vichwa saba na pembe kumi.
- 8 Huyo mnyama uliyemwona alikuwa hai hapo awali, lakini sasa amekufa. Hata hivyo, karibu sana atapanda kutoka shimoni kuzimu, lakini ataangamizwa. Wanaoishi duniani watashangaa; naam, watu wote ambao majina yao hayakupata kuandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima tangu mwanzo wa ulimwengu, watashangaa kumwona huyo mnyama ambaye hapo awali, aliishi, kisha akafa na sasa anatokea tena!
- 9 "Hapa panahitaji akili na hekima! Hivyo vichwa saba ni vilima saba, na huyo mwanamke anaketi juu yake. Vichwa hivyo pia ni wafalme saba.
- 10 Kati ya hao wafalme saba, watano wamekwisha angamia, mmoja anatawala bado, na yule mwingine bado hajafika; na atakapofika atabaki kwa muda mfupi.
- 11 Huyo mnyama ambaye alikuwa anaishi hapo awali lakini sasa haishi tena ni mfalme wa nane, naye pia ni miongoni mwa hao saba, na anakwenda zake kuharibiwa.
- 12 "Zile pembe kumi ulizoziona ni wafalme ambao bado hawajaanza kutawala. Lakini watapewa mamlaka ya kutawala kwa muda wa saa moja pamoja na yule mnyama.
- 13 Shabaha ya hawa kumi ni moja, na watampa yule mnyama nguvu na mamlaka yao yote.
- 14 Watapigana na Mwanakondoo, lakini Mwanakondoo pamoja na wale aliowaita na kuwachagua, ambao ni waaminifu, atawashinda kwa sababu yeye ni Bwana wa mabwana na Mfalme wa wafalme."
- 15 Malaika akaniambia pia, "Yale maji uliyoyaona pale alipokaa yule mzinzi, ni mataifa, watu wa kila rangi na lugha.
- 16 Pembe zile kumi ulizoziona na yule mnyama watamchukia huyo mzinzi. Watachukua kila kitu alicho nacho na kumwacha uchi; watakula nyama yake na kumteketeza kwa moto.
- 17 Maana Mungu ametia mioyoni mwao nia ya kutekeleza shabaha yake, yaani kwa kukubaliana wao kwa wao na kumpa huyo mnyama mamlaka yao ya kutawala, mpaka hapo neno la Mungu litakapotimia.
- 18 "Na yule mwanamke uliyemwona ndio ule mji mkuu unaowatawala wafalme wa dunia."
