Ekisolo Ekyava mu Nnyanja

13 Awo ne ndaba ekisolo ekikambwe nga kiva mu nnyanja, nga kirina emitwe musanvu n’amayembe kkumi era nga kirina engule kkumi ku mayembe gaakyo, era ku buli mutwe nga kuwandiikiddwako amannya agavvoola Katonda. (A)Ekisolo ekyo kye nalaba kyali kifaanana ng’engo naye ng’ebigere byakyo biri ng’eby’eddubu, kyokka ng’akamwa kaakyo kali ng’ak’empologoma. Ogusota ne guwa ekisolo ekyo amaanyi gaagwo awamu n’entebe yaakyo ey’obufuzi era n’obuyinza bungi. (B)Awo ogumu ku mitwe gyagwo gwali gufumitiddwa nga gufunye ekiwundu ekyali kigenda okugutta, naye ekiwundu ekyali kigenda okugutta ne kiwona. Ensi yonna ne yeewuunya era abantu ne bagoberera ekisolo ekyo. (C)Ne basinza ogusota olw’okuwa ekisolo ekikambwe obuyinza obwenkaniddaawo, era n’ekisolo ne bakisinza, nga bagamba nti, “Ani akisinga amaanyi era ani ayinza okulwana nakyo?”

(D)Awo ekisolo ne kikkirizibwa okwogera ebintu eby’okwegulumiza n’eby’obuvvoozi era ne kiweebwa n’obuyinza okumala emyezi amakumi ana mu ebiri. (E)Ekisolo ne kitandika okuvvoola Katonda n’obutayogera birungi ku linnya lye, ne ku kifo kye mw’abeera, ne kivuma n’abo ababeera mu ggulu. (F)Ne kiweebwa obuyinza okulwanyisa abatukuvu n’okubawangula era n’okufuga buli kika, na buli ggwanga, na buli lulimi, na buli nsi. (G)Era abantu bonna abaaliwo okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi, abatawandiikiddwa mu kitabo eky’Obulamu eky’Omwana gw’Endiga eyattibwa balisinza ekisolo ekyo.

(H)Alina amatu awulire.

10 (I)Buli ow’okutwalibwa mu busibe
    wa kusiba.
Era buli ow’okuttibwa n’ekitala,
    wa kuttibwa na kitala.

Kubanga awo okugumiikiriza n’okukkiriza kw’abatukuvu we kutegeererwa.

Ekisolo Ekyava mu Ttaka

11 Awo ne ndyoka ndaba ekisolo ekikambwe ekirala nga kiva mu ttaka, nga kirina amayembe abiri agali ng’ag’akaliga akato naye ng’eddoboozi lyakyo liri ng’ery’ogusota. 12 (J)Ekisolo ekyo ne kikozesa obuyinza obwa kiri ekyasooka ekyalina ekiwundu ekyawonyezebwa era ekyasinzibwa ensi yonna. 13 (K)Ne kikola ebyamagero ebyewuunyisa, gamba ng’okuwandula ennimi ez’omuliro ku nsi nga ziva mu bbanga nga buli omu alaba. 14 (L)Olw’okuweebwa obuyinza okukola ebyamagero ebyo mu linnya ly’ekisolo kiri ekyasooka, abantu bangi baalimbibwalimbibwa. Ekisolo ekyo ne kiragira abantu ab’oku nsi okukola ekifaananyi eky’ekisolo kiri ekyasooka ekyalina ekiwundu eky’ekitala ekyawona. 15 (M)Ekisolo ekyo ne kiweebwa okufuuwa omukka ogw’obulamu mu kifaananyi ky’ekisolo ekyo kyogere, era ekifaananyi ekyo ne kittisa abantu bangi abaagaana okukisinza. 16 (N)Awo ekisolo ne kiragira bonna, abakulu n’abato, abagagga n’abaavu, ab’eddembe n’abaddu, bateekebweko akabonero ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba mu kyenyi, 17 (O)nga tewali n’omu akkirizibwa okugula oba okutunda ekintu kyonna, nga talina kabonero ak’erinnya ly’ekisolo ekyo oba ennamba yaakyo.

18 (P)Ekyo kyetaaga amagezi: abo abasobola okutegeera amakulu g’omuwendo guno babale ennamba eri ku kisolo kubanga gwe muwendo gw’omuntu. Omuwendo ogwo guli lukaaga mu nkaaga mu mukaaga.

The Beast out of the Sea

13 The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea.(A) It had ten horns and seven heads,(B) with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.(C) The beast I saw resembled a leopard,(D) but had feet like those of a bear(E) and a mouth like that of a lion.(F) The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.(G) One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed.(H) The whole world was filled with wonder(I) and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like(J) the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies(K) and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.(L) It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.(M) It was given power to wage war(N) against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.(O) All inhabitants of the earth(P) will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life,(Q) the Lamb(R) who was slain from the creation of the world.[b](S)

Whoever has ears, let them hear.(T)

10 “If anyone is to go into captivity,
    into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword,
    with the sword they will be killed.”[d](U)

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness(V) on the part of God’s people.(W)

The Beast out of the Earth

11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth.(X) It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.(Y) 12 It exercised all the authority(Z) of the first beast on its behalf,(AA) and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast,(AB) whose fatal wound had been healed.(AC) 13 And it performed great signs,(AD) even causing fire to come down from heaven(AE) to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs(AF) it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived(AG) the inhabitants of the earth.(AH) It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.(AI) 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship(AJ) the image to be killed.(AK) 16 It also forced all people, great and small,(AL) rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,(AM) 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark,(AN) which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.(AO)

18 This calls for wisdom.(AP) Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e](AQ) That number is 666.
