1 Haghamalile agho, nimwona malaika yungi kohulumka kulawa kulanga. Tsakakala ne uwetso mkulu na ukung'ala kwake tsakumwemwesela iisi. 2 Naye kalila kwa kukemelela, “Ghughwa ghumji mkulu ghwa Babeli, ghughwa ghendo! Sambi ghuwa dagho lye pfinyamkela na mango tse chila muhe tsihile na pfibali pfa pfideghe wehile iwodesa ghendo. 3 Kwaapfila iwanu wa isi tsotse wapatika kwa mbwali ya kunoghela ng'ani ughoni wake, iwandewa we isi tsawatenda naye ughoni. Nawo watsulutsi iwali muisi wapata mali nyingi kwa kughuutsila ghumji agho pfinu pfa uhondo.” 4 Kuya nihulika litsi lingi kulawa kulanga lyolonga,

9 Na iwandewa iwali muisi iwatendile ughoni naye na kuhondola hamwe naye, watsolila na kuyayana, hawatsolyona hosi lye ukulakala kwake. 10 Watsakwima kutali aku wopfuka maghayo ghake, watsolonga,

11 Watsulutsi iwali muisi nawo watsomlilila na kwona usungu kwaapfila kuduhu imunu iyoghula pfinu pfawo keli, 12 kuduhu imunu iyoghula keli nzahabu tsawo, pfesa tsawo, madini ghawo ghanoghile, lulu, maghwanda ghanoghile, maghwanda gha langi ya tsambalau, maghwanda madung'u, maghwanda mabewe na chila chinu cha mbiki ighunung'ila ghoya, wala cha membe tsa nembo, pfinu pfa bei ng'ulu pfa mbao, shaba na pfa chuma na pfa malumalu, 13 mdalasini, pfilungo wala ubani au upfumba, na udi, idipfai, ghamafuta, na usaghe unoghile wa ngano, ngano, iwang'ombe, wang'olo, wafalasi, mituka wala watumwa wawo na hata ughima we iwanu. 14 Wachulutsi womlongela, “Pfinu pfose pfinoghile pfaubamile pfiwe pfako sambi pfihupa, pfinu pfako pfose pfe ukwighodela na ipfinu ipfikwing'ile uhondo pfuka, ng'upfona keli bae.” 15 Na wachulutsi iwapatile mali nyingi kwa kumuutsila yeye ipfinu, watsakwima kutali kwa kupfuka maghayo ghake. Watsolila no kwona usungu 16 watsolonga, “Koghaya ghwe ghumji mkulu! ghupfalile maghwanda gha chitani, maghwanda ghanoghile, maghwanda gha langi ya tsambalau, maghwanda madung'u, na kwiwamba kwa pfinu pfa nzahabu na madini ghanoghile na lulu! 17 Mne saa limwe kwaghisa pfinu pfako!”

Iwakulu we tsimeli, na wose iwakwanga natso, iwachuutsi kubitila ibahali, na iwanu wose iwosang'ana mwibahali wema kutali, 18 hawonile hosi lye ghumoto ighung'ali ghumlakatsa, walila kwa kukemelela, “Apfi hana ghumji mkulu ka ghuno?” 19 Webulughitsa mtimbwisi, walila na ukuyayana, wakemelela, “Koghaya ghwe ghumji mkulu! Kwaapfila wose wane tsimeli tsawawa na tsimali kubitila ghweghwe. Na kwa saa limwe liliheka kwaghisa pfinu pfako pfose.

20 “Deng'elela ghwe kulanga! Deng'eleleni mwemwe iwanu we Imulungu, watumighwa na manabii! Kwaapfila Imulungu kamuhigha ka yeye pfayawatendele mwemwe!”

21 Kuya malaika yane ngupfu kadondola libwe ka libwe kulu lya kusaghila, kalyasa mwibahali, kalonga, “Apfi pfipfo Babeli pfautsohinyighwa na ukwagha ghendo. 22 Ng'utsohulika keli mbe wila we iwanu, wala litsi lye iwatowa pfilimba wala iwakwimba wala watowa pfimbeta wala watowa malati.
