Revelation 17
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters:
Abɔfoɔ baason no mu baako a ɔkura nkuruwa nson no baa me nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo kwan a wɔbɛfa so atwe odwamanfoɔ kɛseɛ a ɔte nsuo pii so no aso.
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Ewiase ahene ne no bɔɔ adwaman, na asase so nnipa aboto wɔ nʼadwaman nsã no mu.”
3 So he carried me away in the spirit (pneuma) into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Honhom no faa me maa ɔbɔfoɔ no de me kɔɔ ɛserɛ so. Ɛhɔ na mehunuu ɔbaa bi sɛ ɔte aboa kɔkɔɔ bi a wɔatwerɛ edin a ɛyɛ abususɛm agu ne ho nyinaa. Na aboa no wɔ tire nson, ne mmɛn edu.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Na ɔbaa no hyɛ atadeɛ afasebire ne kɔkɔɔ a ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ aboɔ ne nhweneɛ a ne boɔ yɛ den ahyehyɛ ne ho. Na ɔkura sika kuruwa a afideɛ ne adwamammɔ ho nneɛma ayɛ no ma tɔ.
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Na wɔatwerɛ edin bi wɔ ne moma so a ne nkyerɛaseɛ no wɔ ahintasɛm mu sɛ, “Babilonia kɛseɛ asase so adwamanfoɔ ne akyiwadeɛ maame.”
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Na mehunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ ne Yesu akyidifoɔ a wɔkumm wɔn no mogya aboro no. Mehunuu no no, ɛyɛɛ me nwanwa.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
Ɔbɔfoɔ no bisaa me sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛyɛ wo nwanwa? Mɛkyerɛ wo ahintasɛm nkyerɛaseɛ a ɛwɔ ɔbaa no ne aboa no a ɔwɔ tire nson ne mmɛn edu a ɔte ne so no ho.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12)
Aboa a wohunuu no no na ɔte ase, nanso ɔnte ase bio. Ɔrebɛfiri bunu no mu aba ama wɔasɛe no. Nnipa a wɔte asase so a wɔantwerɛ wɔn din angu ateasefoɔ nwoma no mu ansa na wɔrebɔ ewiase no, sɛ wɔhunu aboa no a, ɛbɛyɛ wɔn nwanwa. Ɛberɛ bi na ɔte ase, nanso seesei ɔnte ase na ɔbɛsane aba. (Abyssos g12)
9 And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
“Nyansa ne nteaseɛ ho hia wɔ ha. Etire nson no gyina hɔ ma mmepɔ nson, mmepɔ a ɔbaa no tena so. Wɔyɛ ahene baason nso
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.
a wɔn mu baanum awuwu, na wɔn mu baako da so di ɔhene na ɔbaako a ɔka wɔn ho no mmaeɛ. Na sɛ ɔba a ɔbɛdi ɔhene kakra.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.
Aboa no a anka na ɔte ase na afei deɛ, ɔnte ase no yɛ ɔhene a ɔtɔ so nwɔtwe a ɔka baason a wɔdi ɛkan no ho a ɔrekɔ ne sɛeɛ mu.
12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
“Mmɛn edu a wohunuiɛ no yɛ ahene edu a wɔmfirii wɔn ahennie ase a wɔbɛma wɔn tumi na wɔne aboa no adi ɔhene dɔnhwereɛ no.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Wɔn nyinaa wɔ botaeɛ baako, na wɔde wɔn ahoɔden ne wɔn tumi bɛma aboa no.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Wɔbɛko atia Odwammaa no, na ɔno ne nʼakyidifoɔ, agyidifoɔ ne nokwafoɔ a wɔafrɛ wɔn no bɛdi wɔn so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ awuranom mu Awurade ne ahene mu Ɔhene.”
15 And he says unto me, The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are races and tribes, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Ɔbɔfoɔ no nso ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsuo a wohunuiɛ a odwamanfoɔ no te so no yɛ nkuro ne nkurɔfoɔ akuakuo ne aman ne kasa hodoɔ.
16 And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Mmɛn edu ne aboa no a wohunuiɛ no bɛkyiri odwamanfoɔ no. Wɔbɛfa biribiara a ɛwɔ ne ho ama wada adagya. Wɔbɛwe ne nam na wɔde ogya ahye no.
17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words (rhema) of God shall be fulfilled.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn de ahyɛ wɔn akoma mu sɛ wɔbɛpene so de wɔn tumi ama aboa no na wadi ɔhene kɔsi sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm no bɛba mu de ahyɛ ne botaeɛ no ma.
18 And the woman which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.
Ɔbaa a wohunuu no no yɛ kuro kɛseɛ a ɛdi asase so ahene so.”
