< Revelation 1 >
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed, —and he shewed them by signs, sending through his messenger, unto his servant John;
Saa nhoma yi fa adiyisɛm a Onyankopɔn de maa Yesu Kristo sɛ ɔnkyerɛ nʼasomfo nea ɛrebɛba no ho. Kristo somaa ne bɔfo kɔɔ nʼakoa Yohane nkyɛn kɔdaa asɛm yi adi kyerɛɛ no,
2 who bare witness as to the word of God, and the witness of Jesus Christ, —whatsoever things he saw.
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Yohane bɛka biribiara a ohui. Eyi ne nʼadansedi ne asɛm a efi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn ne nokware a Yesu Kristo daa no adi no.
3 Happy! he that readeth, and they who hear, the words of the prophecy, and keep the things, therein, written; for, the season, is, near.
Nhyira nka obiara a ɔbɛkenkan saa nhoma yi, na nhyira nka wɔn nso a wotie adiyisɛm no na wodi so sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ saa nhoma yi mu no. Bere no abɛn.
4 John, unto the Seven Assemblies which are in Asia, Favour to you, and peace, from—Him who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, and from—The Seven Spirits which are before his throne,
Yohane, Nkyia a okyia asafo ahorow ason a ɛwɔ Asia no ni: Adom ne asomdwoe a efi nea ɔwɔ hɔ, na ɔtenaa hɔ, na ɔreba no ne ahonhom ason a wɔwɔ nʼahengua anim,
5 and from—Jesus Christ, —The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the Dead, and The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us out of our sins with his blood, —
ne Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafo ne awufo mu abakan ne asase so ahene sodifo no nkyɛn nka mo. Ɔdɔ yɛn, na ɔnam ne wu no so agye yɛn afi yɛn bɔne mu.
6 and he hath made us [to be] a kingdom—priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. Amen. (aiōn )
Wayɛ yɛn ahemman ne asɔfo sɛ yɛnsom ne Nyankopɔn ne nʼAgya. Ɔno na wɔmfa anuonyam ne tumi mma no daa daa! Amen. (aiōn )
7 Lo! he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, such also as pierced him; and all the tribes of the land shall smite themselves for him. Yea! Amen.
Hwɛ, ɔnam omununkum mu reba. Wɔn a wɔwɔɔ no peaw no ne obiara behu no. Asase so nnipa nyinaa besu no; ne nti
8 I, am, the A, and, the Z, saith the Lord, —the, God who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, The Almighty.
Awurade Nyankopɔn Tumfo no se, “Mene Alfa ne Omega a ɔwɔ hɔ mprempren na ɔwɔ hɔ dedaw na ɔyɛ nea ɔrebɛba no.”
9 I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.
Me Yohane, a me ne mo nyinaa yɛ akyidifo. Yehu amane efisɛ Yesu ne yɛn hene, na ɔma yɛn ahoɔden wɔ ahohia mu. Esiane sɛ mekaa Onyankopɔn asɛm kaa nokware a Yesu daa no adi nti, wotwaa me asu de me kɔɔ Supɔw Patmo so.
10 I came to be, in Spirit, in the Lord’s Day, and heard, behind me, a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
Awurade da no, Honhom no faa me na metee nne dennen bi a ɛte sɛ torobɛnto a ɛrebɔ wɔ mʼakyi.
11 saying—What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies, —unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, —and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, —and unto Laodicea.
Ɛkae se, “Kyerɛw biribiara a wuhu, na fa nhoma no kɔma saa asafo ahorow ason a ɛwɔ Efeso ne Smirna ne Pergamo ne Tiatira ne Sardi ne Filadelfia ne Laodikea no.”
12 And I turned round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold;
Medan mʼani, pɛɛ sɛ mihu nea ɔrekasa kyerɛ me no. Ɛhɔ na mihuu sikakɔkɔɔ akaneadua ason.
13 and, in the midst of the lamps, One like unto a Son of Man: —clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,
Na akaneadua no mfimfini na onipa bi a ɔte sɛ Onipa Ba a ɔhyɛ batakari yuu a esi nʼanan ase a sika abɔso kyekyere ne koko no gyina.
14 And his head and hair, white, like white wool—like snow, and, his eyes, like a flame of fire,
Na ne tinwi yɛ fitaa te sɛ asaawamfuturu anaasɛ sukyerɛmma, na nʼani dɛw sɛ ogya.
15 And, his feet, like unto glowing copper, as if in a furnace refined, and, his voice, like a sound of many waters,
Ne nan ase hyerɛnee sɛ asanka a wɔanan wɔ fononoo mu na afei wɔatwiw ho na ne nne woro so te sɛ asuworoe a ano yɛ den.
16 And, having in his right hand, seven stars, and, out of his mouth, a sharp, two-edged sword, going forth; and, his whole appearance, as when, the sun, shineth in its strength.
Na okura nsoromma ason wɔ ne nsa nifa mu na afoa anofanu a ɛyɛ nnam fi nʼanom bae. Na nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ owigyinae wia.
17 And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying—Do not fear! I, am the First, and the Last,
Mihuu no no, mekɔhwee nʼanan ase te sɛ owufo. Ɔde ne nsa nifa too me so kae se, “Nsuro! Mene Ɔkannifo ne Okyikafo.
18 and the Living One, —and I became dead; —and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
Mene ɔteasefo no! Miwui, nanso mprempren mete ase daa daa. Mikura owu ne asaman safe. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Write, therefore—what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass, after these things:
“Enti afei kyerɛw nneɛma a wuhu; nea wuhu no mprempren ne nea ɛbɛba akyiri no, kyerɛw.
20 The sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold: —The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies
Nsoromma ason a wuhu wɔ me nsa nifa mu ne sika akaneadua no nkyerɛase a ɛyɛ ahintasɛm no ni; Nsoromma ason no yɛ asafo ason no abɔfo, na akaneadua ason no nso yɛ asafo ason no.”
