< Revelation 10 >
1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.
Tete mekpɔ mawudɔla triakɔ bubu wòtso dziƒo gbɔna. Lilikpo nye awu ʋlaya wòdo, eye anyieʋɔ le eƒe ta dzi, eƒe mo le abe ɣe ene, eye eƒe afɔwo le abe dzosɔtiwo ene.
2 He held in his hand a small scroll, which lay open. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.
Elé agbalẽ sue aɖe ɖe asi, esi le ʋuʋu le eƒe asiƒome. Etsɔ eƒe ɖusifɔ da ɖe atsiaƒu me, tsɔ eƒe miafɔ da ɖe anyigba dzi,
3 Then he cried out in a loud voice like the roar of a lion. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.
eye wòdo ɣli sesẽ aɖe abe dzata ƒe gbeɖeɖe ene. Esi wòdo ɣlia la, dziɖegbe adreawo ƒe gbe ɖi.
4 When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to put it in writing. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
Esi dziɖegbe adreawo ƒo nu la, menɔ klalo be maŋlɔ nu, gake mese gbe aɖe tso dziƒo gblɔ nam be, “Tre nu si dziɖegbe adreawo gblɔ la nu, eye mègaŋlɔe da ɖi o.”
5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven.
Ke mawudɔla si mekpɔ wònɔ tsitre ɖe atsiaƒu me kple anyigba dzi la do eƒe ɖusibɔ ɖe dziƒo,
6 And he swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it: “There will be no more delay! (aiōn )
eye wòyɔ eya ame si nɔ agbe tegbetegbe, ame si wɔ dziƒowo kple nu siwo katã le wo me, anyigba kple nu siwo le edzi kple atsiaƒu kple nu siwo katã le eme la ƒe ŋkɔ heka atam be, “Heheɖemegbe aɖeke maganɔ anyi o! (aiōn )
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants the prophets.”
Gake le ŋkeke siwo me mawudɔla adrelia aku eƒe kpẽa la, Mawu ƒe nu ɣaɣla la ava eme abe ale si wòɖe gbeƒã na eƒe dɔla nyagblɔɖilawoe ene.”
8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the small scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the land.”
Esi gbe si mese tso dziƒo gaƒo nu nam la, egblɔ nam be, “Heyi nàxɔ agbalẽ si le ʋuʋu le mawudɔla si le tsitre ɖe atsiaƒu me kple anyigba dzi la ƒe asi me.”
9 And I went to the angel and said, “Give me the small scroll.” “Take it and eat it,” he said. “It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
Ale meyi ɖe mawudɔla la gbɔ, eye mebiae be wòatsɔ agbalẽ sue la nam. Egblɔ nam be, “Xɔe, eye nàɖui. Atrɔ azu nu veve le wò dɔ me, gake le wò nu me ya la, avivi abe anyitsi ene.”
10 So I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.
Mexɔ agbalẽ sue la le mawudɔla la si, eye meɖui. Evivi le nye nu me abe anyitsi ene, ke esi meɖui vɔ la, etrɔ zu nu veve le nye dɔ me.
11 And they told me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
Eyi edzi gblɔ nam be, “Ele na wò be nàgagblɔ nya ɖi tso ame geɖewo, dukɔwo, gbegbɔgblɔwo kple fiawo ŋuti.”
