< Revelation 9 >
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos )
Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so anum no hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Mihuu nsoromma a atew fi ɔsoro abɛhwe asase so. Wɔmaa no ebun a ase nni awiei safe. (Abyssos )
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos )
Nsoromma no buee bun no, na wusiw kumɔnn fii mu sɛ fononoo kɛse bi, na wusiw no maa owia hann ne mframa a ɛwɔ hɔ no yɛɛ tumm. (Abyssos )
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Mmoadabi fii wusiw no mu baa asase so, na wɔmaa wɔn tumi sɛ nkekantwɛre.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of YHWH in their foreheads.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se wɔnnsɛe sare anaa nnua anaa afifide biara. Na mmom, nnipa a Onyankopɔn nsɔwano no bi nni wɔn moma so no de, wotumi haw wɔn.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Wɔamma saa mmoadabi no kwan se wonkunkum saa nnipa yi. Na mmom, wɔmaa wɔn kwan se wɔnhaw wɔn asram anum. Wɔka wɔn a, wɔn ano yaw no te sɛ akekantwɛre de.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Saa asram anum no mu no, saa nnipa no bɛhwehwɛ owu, nanso wɔrennya. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wowu, nanso owu beguan afi wɔn nkyɛn.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Mmoadabi no te sɛ apɔnkɔ a wɔasiesie wɔn ama ɔko. Wɔwɔ biribi te sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ahenkyɛw hyehyɛ wɔn ti. Na wɔn anim te sɛ nnipa anim.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Wɔn ti nwi te sɛ mmea ti nwi, na wɔn se nso te sɛ gyata se.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Wɔde biribi te sɛ dade nkatabo akatakata wɔn bo. Na nnyigyei a wɔn ntaban yɛ no te sɛ apɔnkɔ bebree a wɔretwe nteaseɛnam akɔ ɔko.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Bɔre wɔwɔ wɔn dua ano te sɛ akekantwɛre de. Na wɔn dua no nti na na wɔwɔ tumi a wɔde haw nnipa asram anum no.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (Abyssos )
Wɔwɔ ɔhene a odi wɔn so, a ɔno ne ɔbɔfo a ɔhwɛ bun no so. Ne din wɔ Hebri kasa mu de “Abadon” na Hela kasa mu nso, ɛde “Apolion” (a ɛkyerɛ Ɔsɛefo). (Abyssos )
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Ɔhaw baako atwa mu. Eyi akyi, ɔhaw abien bi bɛba.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before YHWH,
Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so asia no hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Metee nne bi fii sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka a esi Onyankopɔn anim no ntwea so nyinaa.
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Nne no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfo a ɔto so asia a okura torobɛnto no se, “Sansan abɔfo baanan a wɔasesa wɔn wɔ, Asubɔnten Eufrate ho no.”
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Wɔsansan abɔfo baanan no. Wɔasiesie wɔn ama saa dɔnhwerew yi, saa da yi, saa ɔsram yi ne saa afe yi sɛ wonkunkum adesamma mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Wodii asraafo ɔpepem ahannu anim. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn dodow no ho amanneɛ ma metee.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Na mʼanisoadehu no mu no, mihuu apɔnkɔ no ne wɔn akafo. Na wɔn nkatabo no yɛ kɔɔ sɛ ogya, tumm, ne akokɔsrade sɛ sufre. Na ɔpɔnkɔ no ti te sɛ gyata ti na na ogya wusiw ne sufre fi wɔn anom.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Saa ɔhaw ahorow abiɛsa no a ɛyɛ ogya, wusiw ne sufre no a efi apɔnkɔ no anom bae no kum adesamma nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Efisɛ na apɔnkɔ no tumi nyinaa fi wɔn anom ne wɔn dua. Wɔn dua te sɛ awɔ a wɔwɔ ti a ɛno na na wɔde pira nnipa.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Adesamma a wɔkae no a ɔhaw no ankum wɔn no ansakra wɔn adwene amfi wɔn nsa ano nnwuma ho. Wɔannyae ahonhommɔne ne ahoni ne sika ne dwetɛ ne asanka ne abo ne nnua a enhu ade na ɛnte asɛm na entumi nnantew no som.
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Saa ara nso na wɔansakra wɔn adwene amfi wɔn awudi ne wɔn aduto ne wɔn aguamammɔ ne wɔn akorɔmmɔ ho.
