Revelation 10
1 [In the vision] I saw another mighty angel that was coming down out of heaven. A cloud [surrounded him]. There was a rainbow over his head. His face [shone] [SIM] like the sun. His legs looked like pillars of fire.
Afei, mehunuu ɔbɔfoɔ hoɔdenfoɔ foforɔ bi a ɔfiri ɔsoro resiane ba fam. Na ɔhyɛ omununkum mu a nyankontɔn bɔ ne ti. Na nʼanim te sɛ owia, na ne nan te sɛ ogya fadum.
2 He had in his hand a small scroll that was open. He set his right foot on the ocean and his left foot on the land.
Na nwoma ketewaa bi kura no a wabue mu. Ɔde ne nan nifa sii ɛpo so na benkum no si asase so.
3 He shouted something with a loud voice, a voice like the roar of a lion. When he shouted this, it thundered seven [times], speaking [words that I could understand].
Ɔde nne kɛseɛ teaam sɛdeɛ gyata bobom. Ɔteaam no, aprannaa nson kasaeɛ.
4 When it thundered [like that], I was about to write [the words that I] heard, but a voice from heaven said to me, “Keep secret what the thunder said! Do not write it down!”
Wɔkasaeɛ pɛ, na mepɛ sɛ metwerɛ. Nanso, metee nne bi firii ɔsoro a ɛkaa sɛ, “Ma nsɛm a aprannaa nson no kaeɛ no nka wo tirim. Ntwerɛ!”
5 Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the ocean and the land raised his right hand toward heaven,
Ɛhɔ ara ɔbɔfoɔ a mehunuu sɛ ɔgyina hɔ a ne nan baako si ɛpo so na baako si asase so no maa ne nsa nifa so kɔɔ soro,
6 and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn g165)
na ɔde Onyankopɔn a ɔte hɔ daa daa a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase ne ɛpo ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa no edin kaa ntam. Ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Ɛberɛ sɛeɛ biara nni hɔ. (aiōn g165)
7 He said that when the time [came] for the seventh angel to blow his trumpet, [he] would complete what God had secretly planned, just like he announced [long ago] to his servants, the prophets.
Na sɛ ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so nson no hyɛne ne totorobɛnto no a ansa na Onyankopɔn bɛwie nʼahintasɛm mu nhyehyɛeɛ no, sɛdeɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ a wɔyɛ adiyifoɔ no.”
8 The one whose voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. He said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the ocean and on the land.”
Afei, nne a metee sɛ ɛfiri ɔsoro no kasa kyerɛɛ me bio sɛ. “Kɔ na kɔgye nwoma a wabue mu a ɛkura ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔgyina ɛpo ne asase so no.”
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. In your mouth it will [taste] sweet like honey, but it will make your stomach bitter.”
Mekɔɔ ɔbɔfoɔ no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔmfa nwoma ketewa no mma me. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Gye na kɔwe. Ɛbɛkeka wɔ wo yam, nanso wʼanomu deɛ, ɛbɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ ɛwoɔ.”
10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. In my mouth it [tasted] sweet like honey, but when I had eaten it, [it] made my stomach turn sour.
Megyee nwoma ketewa no firii ne nsam weeɛ, na ɛyɛɛ dɛ te sɛ ɛwoɔ wɔ mʼanom. Nanso, memeneeɛ no akyi, ɛmaa me yam kaa me.
11 The one whose [voice spoke from heaven said to me], “You must (prophesy again/proclaim again what I will reveal to you) about many people-[groups], many nations, [speakers of] many languages [MTY], and many kings.”
Afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Kɔ so ka deɛ ɛbɛba kyerɛ aman bebree sofoɔ, kasa ahodoɔ ne ahemfo nso.”
