Revelation 17
1 Then there came one of the seuen Angels, which had the seuen vials, and talked with me, saying vnto me, Come: I will shewe thee the damnation of the great whore that sitteth vpon many waters,
Abɔfo baason no mu ɔbaako a okura nkuruwa ason no baa me nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so atwe oguamanfo kɛse a ɔte nsu pii so no aso.
2 With whom haue committed fornication the Kings of the earth, and the inhabitants of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication.
Wiase ahene ne no bɔɔ aguaman, na asase so nnipa bobow wɔ nʼaguaman nsa no mu.”
3 So he caried me away into the wildernesse in the Spirit, and I sawe a woman sit vpon a skarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemie, which had seuen heads, and tenne hornes.
Honhom no faa me ma ɔbɔfo no de me kɔɔ sare so. Ɛhɔ na mihuu sɛ ɔbea bi te aboa kɔkɔɔ bi a wɔakyerɛw din a ɛyɛ abususɛm agu ne ho nyinaa. Na aboa no wɔ ti ason, ne mmɛn du.
4 And the woman was arayed in purple and skarlet, and gilded with golde, and precious stones, and pearles, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthines of her fornication.
Na ɔbea no hyɛ atadetam kɔkɔɔ a ɔde sika mpɔw a ɛhyerɛn ne nhene a ne bo yɛ den ahyehyɛ ne ho. Na okura sika kuruwa a afide ne aguamammɔ ho nneɛma ayɛ no ma tɔ.
5 And in her forehead was a name written, A mysterie, that great Babylon, that mother of whoredomes, and abominations of the earth.
Na wɔakyerɛw din bi wɔ ne moma so a ne nkyerɛase no wɔ ahintasɛm mu se, “Babilonia Kokuroko, Asase So Nguamanfo Ne Akyiwade Na.”
6 And I sawe ye woman drunken with the blood of Saintes, and with the blood of the Martyrs of IESVS: and when I sawe her, I wondred with great marueile.
Na mihuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo ne Yesu akyidifo a wokum wɔn no mogya abow no. Mihuu no no, ɛyɛɛ me nwonwa.
7 Then the Angel saide vnto me, Wherefore marueilest thou? I will shewe thee the misterie of that woman, and of that beast, that beareth her, which hath seuen heads, and tenne hornes.
Ɔbɔfo no bisaa me se, “Adɛn nti na ɛyɛ wo nwonwa? Mɛkyerɛ wo ahintasɛm nkyerɛase a ɛwɔ ɔbea no ne aboa no a ɔwɔ ti ason ne mmɛn du a ɔte ne so no.
8 The beast that thou hast seene, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomles pit, and shall goe into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth, shall wonder (whose names are not written in the booke of life from the foundation of ye world) when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)
Aboa a wuhuu no no na ɔte ase, nanso ɔnte ase bio. Ɔrebefi bun no mu aba ama wɔasɛe no. Sɛ nnipa a wɔte asase so a wɔankyerɛw wɔn din angu ateasefo nhoma no mu ansa na wɔrebɔ wiase no hu aboa no a, ɛbɛyɛ wɔn nwonwa. Na ɔte ase bere bi, nanso mprempren de, ɔnte ase na ɔbɛsan aba. (Abyssos g12)
9 Here is the mind that hath wisdome. The seuen heads, are seuen mountaines, whereon the woman sitteth: they are also seuen Kings.
“Nyansa ne ntease ho hia wɔ ha. Eti ason no gyina hɔ ma mmepɔw ason, mmepɔw a ɔbea no tena so. Wɔyɛ ahene baason nso
10 Fiue are fallen, and one is, and another is not yet come: and when he commeth, he must continue a short space.
a wɔn mu baanum awuwu, na ɔbaako da so di hene na ɔbaako a ɔka ho no mmae. Na sɛ ɔba a obedi hene kakra.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, is euen the eight, and is one of the seuen, and shall goe into destruction.
Aboa no a anka na ɔte ase na afei de, ɔnte ase no yɛ ɔhene a ɔto so awotwe a ɔka baason a wodi kan no ho a ɔrekɔ ne sɛe mu.
12 And the tenne hornes which thou sawest, are tenne Kings, which yet haue not receiued a kingdome, but shall receiue power, as Kings at one houre with the beast.
“Mmɛn du a wuhui no yɛ ahene du a womfii wɔn ahenni ase a wɔbɛma wɔn tumi na wɔne aboa no adi hene dɔnhwerew no.
13 These haue one minde, and shall giue their power, and authoritie vnto the beast.
Wɔn nyinaa wɔ botae baako, na wɔde wɔn ahoɔden ne wɔn tumi bɛma aboa no.
14 These shall fight with the Lambe, and the Lambe shall ouercome them: for he is Lord of Lordes, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithfull.
Wɔbɛko atia Oguamma no, na ɔno ne nʼakyidifo, agyidifo ne nokwafo a wɔafrɛ wɔn no bedi wɔn so, efisɛ ɔyɛ awuranom mu Awurade ne ahene mu Hene.”
15 And he said vnto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Ɔbɔfo no nso ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nsu a wuhuu sɛ oguamanfo no te so no yɛ nkurow ne nkurɔfo akuwakuw ne aman ne ɔkasa ahorow.
16 And the tenne hornes which thou sawest vpon the beast, are they that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eate her flesh, and burne her with fire.
Mmɛn du ne aboa a wuhuu no no bekyi oguamanfo no. Wɔbɛfa biribiara a ɛwɔ ne ho ama wada adagyaw. Wɔbɛwe ne nam na wɔde ogya ahyew no.
17 For God hath put in their heartes to fulfill his will, and to doe with one consent for to giue their kingdome vnto the beast, vntill the wordes of God be fulfilled.
Efisɛ Onyankopɔn de ahyɛ wɔn koma mu se wɔbɛpene so de wɔn tumi ama aboa no na wadi hene kosi sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm no bɛba mu de ahyɛ ne botae no ma.
18 And that woman which thou sawest, is that great citie, which reigneth ouer the kings of ye earth.
Ɔbea a wuhuu no no yɛ kurow kɛse a edi asase so ahene no so.”
