Revelation 17
1 And one of the seven messengers who had the seven bowls came, and spake with me, saying—Hither! I will point out to thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon 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 the kings of the earth committed lewdness, —and they who were dwelling upon the earth were made drunk with the wine of her lewdness.
Wiase ahene ne no bɔɔ aguaman, na asase so nnipa bobow wɔ nʼaguaman nsa no mu.”
3 And he carried me away into a desert, in spirit. And I saw a woman, sitting upon a scarlet wild-beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
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 arrayed with purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, —having a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness;
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, upon her forehead, a name written, a secret: Babylon the great, the Mother of the Harlots and of the 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 saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I was astonished, when I beheld her, with great astonishment.
Na mihuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo ne Yesu akyidifo a wokum wɔn no mogya abow no. Mihuu no no, ɛyɛɛ me nwonwa.
7 And the messenger said unto me—Wherefore wast thou astonished? I, will tell thee the secret of the woman, and of the wild-beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
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 wild-beast which thou sawest, was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and into, destruction, goeth away. And they who are dwelling upon the earth whose name is not written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, when they see the wild-beast, because it was, and is not, and shall be present. (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 wisdom. The seven heads, are, seven mountains, whereupon the woman sitteth;
“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 and they are, seven kings: the five, have fallen, the one, is, the other, hath not yet come; and, whensoever he shall come, a little while, must he remain,
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 wild-beast which was and is not. And he, is an eighth, and is, of the seven, —and, into destruction, goeth away.
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 ten horns which thou sawest, are, ten kings, —who, indeed, have not received, sovereignty, as yet, but, authority, as kings, for one hour, shall receive, with the wild-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, have, one mind, and, their power and authority, unto the wild-beast, they give.
Wɔn nyinaa wɔ botae baako, na wɔde wɔn ahoɔden ne wɔn tumi bɛma aboa no.
14 These, with the Lamb, will make war; and, the Lamb, will overcome them, because he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings, —and, they who are with him, are called and chosen and faithful.
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 saith unto me—The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are, peoples 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 ten horns which thou sawest, and the wild-beast, these, shall hate the harlot, and, desolate, shall make her, and naked, and, her flesh, shall they eat, and, herself, shall they burn up 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 into their hearts, to do his mind, and to do one mind, —and to give their sovereignty unto the wild-beast, until the words of God shall be completed.
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, the woman whom thou sawest, is the great city, which hath sovereignty over the kings of the earth.
Ɔbea a wuhuu no no yɛ kurow kɛse a edi asase so ahene no so.”
