< Revelation 12 >
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heauen: A woman clothed with the sunne, and the moone was vnder her feete, and vpon her head a crowne of twelue starres.
Dzesi gã wɔnuku aɖe dze le dziƒo. Nyɔnu aɖe si ta ɣe abe avɔ ene, ɣleti le eƒe afɔ te, eye wòɖɔ fiakuku si ŋu ɣletivi wuieve le la va do.
2 And she was with childe, and cried traueiling in birth, and was pained readie to be deliuered.
Fu nɔ eƒo, eye wònɔ ɣli dom esi wònɔ ku lém be yeadzi vi.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaue: for beholde, a great red dragon hauing seuen heads, and ten hornes, and seuen crownes vpon his heads:
Emegbe la, dzesi bubu gadze le dziƒo: ʋɔ driba gã dzẽ aɖe si to ta adre, dzo ewo, eye fiakuku adre le tawo nɛ la va do.
4 And his taile drew the thirde part of the starres of heauen, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be deliuered, to deuoure her childe, when shee had brought it foorth.
Eƒe asike kplɔ ɣletivi siwo le dziŋgɔli ŋu la ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòhe wo ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba. Ʋɔ driba la nɔ tsitre ɖe nyɔnu si nɔ ku lém la ŋkume, eye wòle klalo be yeavuvu vidzĩ si nyɔnu la adzi la.
5 So shee brought foorth a man childe, which should rule all nations with a rod of yron: and that her childe was taken vp vnto God and to his throne.
Nyɔnu la dzi ŋutsuvi, ame si ava aɖu dukɔwo katã dzi kple gatikplɔ. Tete woxɔ ɖevi la le esi kaba tsɔ yi ɖe Mawu kple eƒe fiazikpui la gbɔe.
6 And the woman fled into wildernes where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feede her there a thousande, two hundreth and three score dayes.
Emegbe la, nyɔnu la si yi gbedzi le teƒe si Mawu dzra ɖo ɖi nɛ, afi si woakpɔ eta le hena ŋkeke akpe ɖeka alafa eve blaade.
7 And there was a battell in heauen, Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels.
Eye aʋa dzɔ le dziƒo. Maikel kple eƒe mawudɔlawo wɔ aʋa kple ʋɔ driba la, eye ʋɔ driba la kple eƒe dɔlawo hã wɔ aʋa kpli wo.
8 But they preuailed not, neither was their place found any more in heauen.
Ke ʋɔ driba la ƒe ŋusẽ metri akɔ o, ale wobu woƒe nɔƒe le dziƒo.
9 And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuil and Satan, was cast out, which deceiueth all the world: he was euen cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Wotsɔ ʋɔ driba gã la, da xoxo si woyɔna be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ alo Abosam, ame si kplɔ xexea me katã trae la ƒu gbe. Wotsɔ eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe dɔlawo ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba.
10 Then I heard a loude voyce in heauen, saying, Now is saluation, and strength, and the kingdome of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast downe, which accused them before our God day and night.
Tete mese gbe sesẽ aɖe tso dziƒo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Azɔ ko míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ɖeɖe, ŋusẽ kple fiaɖuƒe la kple eƒe Kristo ƒe dziɖuɖu ƒe ŋusẽ la va ɖo, elabena wotsɔ mía nɔviawo nu tsola, ame si nɔa wo nu tsom zã kple keli le Mawu ŋkume la ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba.
11 But they ouercame him by that blood of that Lambe, and by that worde of their testimonie, and they loued not their liues vnto the death.
Woɖu edzi to Alẽvi la ƒe ʋu kple woƒe ɖaseɖiɖi me. Womelɔ̃ woƒe agbe nenema gbegbe be woayi sisi ge le ku nu o,
12 Therefore reioyce, ye heauens, and ye that dwell in them. Wo to the inhabitants of the earth, and of the sea: for the deuill is come downe vnto you, which hath great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
eya ta dzi nedzɔ mi, mi dziƒowo kple mi ame siwo nɔ wo me la! Ke baba na anyigba kple atsiaƒu, elabena Abosam ɖi va mia gbɔ! Dzi le ekum vevie, elabena enyae be yeƒe ɣeyiɣi la le kpuie.”
13 And when the dragon sawe that hee was cast vnto the earth, he persecuted the woman which had brought forth the man childe.
Esi ʋɔ driba la kpɔ be wotsɔ ye ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba la, eti nyɔnu si dzi ŋutsuvi la yome.
14 But to the woman were giuen two wings of a great eagle, that she might flie into the wildernes, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and halfe a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Wotsɔ hɔ̃ gã aɖe ƒe aʋala eveawo na nyɔnu la, ale be wòate ŋu adzo ayi ɖe teƒe si wodzra ɖo ɖi nɛ le gbedzi, afi si woakpɔ eta le hena ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ɣeyiɣiwo kple ɣeyiɣi afã le afi si ʋɔ driba la mate ŋu ade o la.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water after the woman, like a flood, that he might cause her to be caried away of the flood.
Tete ʋɔ driba la tu tsi to eƒe nu me, esi ɖuɖu abe tɔsisi ene, ne wòaɖɔ alé nyɔnu la, eye tɔsisi la nakplɔe adzoe.
16 But the earth holpe the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swalowed vp the flood, which the dragon had cast out of his mouth.
Ke anyigba la kpe ɖe nyɔnu la ŋu esi wòke eƒe nu hemi tɔsisi si ʋɔ driba la tu to eƒe nu me la.
17 Then the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went and made warre with the remnant of her seede, which keepe the comaundements of God, and haue the testimonie of Iesus Christ.
Dzi ku ʋɔ driba la vevie ɖe nyɔnu la ŋu, eye wòyi be yeaɖawɔ aʋa kple eƒe dzidzimevi mamlɛawo, ame siwo ɖoa to Mawu kple eƒe sededewo, eye wolé Yesu ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi me ɖe asi sesĩe la.
