Revelation 10
1 Then I saw another mighty angel, descending from heaven. His robe was a cloud; over his head was the rainbow; his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;
Tete mekpɔ mawudɔla triakɔ bubu wòtso dziƒo gbɔna. Lilikpo nye awu ʋlaya wòdo, eye anyieʋɔ le eƒe ta dzi, eƒe mo le abe ɣe ene, eye eƒe afɔwo le abe dzosɔtiwo ene.
2 in his hand he held a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land;
Elé agbalẽ sue aɖe ɖe asi, esi le ʋuʋu le eƒe asiƒome. Etsɔ eƒe ɖusifɔ da ɖe atsiaƒu me, tsɔ eƒe miafɔ da ɖe anyigba dzi,
3 and he cried in a loud voice like the roaring of a lion. At his cry the seven peals of thunder spoke, each with its own voice.
eye wòdo ɣli sesẽ aɖe abe dzata ƒe gbeɖeɖe ene. Esi wòdo ɣlia la, dziɖegbe adreawo ƒe gbe ɖi.
4 And, when they spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say – ‘Keep secret what the seven peals of thunder said, and do not write it down.’
Esi dziɖegbe adreawo ƒo nu la, menɔ klalo be maŋlɔ nu, gake mese gbe aɖe tso dziƒo gblɔ nam be, “Tre nu si dziɖegbe adreawo gblɔ la nu, eye mègaŋlɔe da ɖi o.”
5 Then the angel, whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land, raised his right hand to the heavens,
Ke mawudɔla si mekpɔ wònɔ tsitre ɖe atsiaƒu me kple anyigba dzi la do eƒe ɖusibɔ ɖe dziƒo,
6 and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, that time should cease to be. (aiōn g165)
eye wòyɔ eya ame si nɔ agbe tegbetegbe, ame si wɔ dziƒowo kple nu siwo katã le wo me, anyigba kple nu siwo le edzi kple atsiaƒu kple nu siwo katã le eme la ƒe ŋkɔ heka atam be, “Heheɖemegbe aɖeke maganɔ anyi o! (aiōn g165)
7 Moreover at the time when the seventh angel will speak, when he is ready to blow his blast, then the hidden purposes of God, of which he told the good news to his servants, the prophets, are at once fulfilled.
Gake le ŋkeke siwo me mawudɔla adrelia aku eƒe kpẽa la, Mawu ƒe nu ɣaɣla la ava eme abe ale si wòɖe gbeƒã na eƒe dɔla nyagblɔɖilawoe ene.”
8 Then came the voice which I had heard from heaven. It spoke to me again, and said – ‘Go and take the book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.’
Esi gbe si mese tso dziƒo gaƒo nu nam la, egblɔ nam be, “Heyi nàxɔ agbalẽ si le ʋuʋu le mawudɔla si le tsitre ɖe atsiaƒu me kple anyigba dzi la ƒe asi me.”
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said ‘Take it, and eat it. It will be bitter to your stomach, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’
Ale meyi ɖe mawudɔla la gbɔ, eye mebiae be wòatsɔ agbalẽ sue la nam. Egblɔ nam be, “Xɔe, eye nàɖui. Atrɔ azu nu veve le wò dɔ me, gake le wò nu me ya la, avivi abe anyitsi ene.”
10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and, while in my mouth, it was like the sweetest honey; but, when I had eaten it, it was bitter to my stomach.
Mexɔ agbalẽ sue la le mawudɔla la si, eye meɖui. Evivi le nye nu me abe anyitsi ene, ke esi meɖui vɔ la, etrɔ zu nu veve le nye dɔ me.
11 And I was told – ‘You must prophesy again about men of many peoples, and nations, and languages, and about many kings.’
Eyi edzi gblɔ nam be, “Ele na wò be nàgagblɔ nya ɖi tso ame geɖewo, dukɔwo, gbegbɔgblɔwo kple fiawo ŋuti.”
