Revelation 5
1 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
Tete mekpɔ agbalẽ aɖe le ame si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi la ƒe nuɖusime. Woŋlɔ nu ɖe agbalẽ la me kple egodo siaa, eye wotree kple nutrenu adre.
2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
Eye mekpɔ mawudɔla dzɔatsu aɖe le gbeƒã ɖem kple gbe sesẽ aɖe le gbɔgblɔm be, “Ame kae dze aɖe nutrenuawo ɖa alo aʋu agbalẽ la?”
3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.
Gake ame aɖeke mele dziƒo, anyigba dzi loo alo anyigba te si ate ŋu aʋu agbalẽ la alo akpɔ eme o.
4 And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
Mefa avi vevie, elabena ame aɖeke meli si ŋu wokpɔ ŋudzedze le si dze be wòaʋu agbalẽ la alo akpɔ eme o.
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Tete amegãxoxoawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ nam be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mègafa avi o, elabena Yuda ƒe to la ƒe Dzata si tso David ƒe ke me la ɖu dzi. Eyae ate ŋu aʋu agbalẽ la, eye wòaɖe nutrenu adreawo ɖa.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Eye mekpɔ Alẽvi aɖe, wòdze abe ɖe wowui ene, eye wònɔ tsitre ɖe fiazikpui la titina. Nu gbagbe eneawo kple amegãxoxoawo ƒo xlãe. Dzo adre kple ŋku adre nɔ esi, esiwo nye Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ adreawo, esiwo wodɔ ɖo ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
7 And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.
Eyae va xɔ agbalẽ la le ame si nɔ fiazikpui la dzi la ƒe nuɖusime.
8 When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Esi wòxɔ agbalẽa la, nu gbagbe eneawo kple amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-eneawo dze klo tsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Alẽvi la ŋgɔ. Kasaŋku nɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe si, eye sikagba si yɔ fũu kple dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonu siwo nye ame kɔkɔeawo ƒe gbedodoɖa la hã nɔ woƒe asi me.
9 And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Wodzi ha yeye be, “Wòe dze be nàʋu agbalẽ la, eye nàɖe nutrenu adreawo ɖa, elabena wowu wò kpɔ, eye nètsɔ wò ʋu ƒle amewoe na Mawu. Tso to sia to, gbegbɔgblɔ sia gbegbɔgblɔ, Nuto ɖe sia ɖe kple dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe me,
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
Èwɔ wo be woanye fiaɖuƒewo kple nunɔlawo ne woasubɔ míaƒe Mawu la, eye woaɖu fia le anyigba dzi.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels and living creatures and elders encircling the throne, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.
Tete mekpɔ, eye mese mawudɔla gbogbo aɖewo ƒe gbe siwo ƒe xexlẽme anye akpeakpewo kple akpe ewo teƒe akpe ewo. Woɖe to ƒo xlã fiazikpui la, nu gbagbe eneawo kple amegãxoxoawo.
12 In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
Wole ha dzim kple gbe sesẽ be, “Alẽvi si wowu la, eyae dze, be wòaxɔ ŋusẽ, kesinɔnu, nunya kple ŋutete, kple bubu, ŋutikɔkɔe kple kafukafu.”
13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!” (aiōn g165)
Esia megbe la, mese nu gbagbe siwo katã le dziƒo, anyigba dzi, anyigba te, atsiaƒu me kpe ɖe nu siwo katã nɔ wo me la ŋuti nɔ ha dzim be, “Alẽvi si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi la tɔe nye kafukafu, bubu, ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ, (aiōn g165)
14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Nu gbagbe eneawo gblɔ be, “Amen.” Tete amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-eneawo tsyɔ mo anyi, eye wosubɔe.
