Revelation 8
1 When [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, opened the seventh seal, there was no sound at all in heaven for (a very short time/about half an hour).
Esi wòʋu nutrenu adrelia la, ɖoɖoe gã aɖe zi le dziƒo abe gaƒoƒo afã ene,
2 I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. A trumpet was given {([God/An angel]) gave a trumpet} to each one of them.
eye mekpɔ mawudɔla adre siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe Mawu ŋkume la, eye wotsɔ kpẽ adre na wo.
3 Another angel, who had a golden container for burning incense, came and stood at the altar. [He was given] {[An angel] gave to him} a large quantity of incense, in order that he might offer it, with the prayers of all God’s people, upon the golden altar that is in front of [God’s] throne. [Then he burned this incense on the altar].
Mawudɔla bubu si lé sikadzoɖesonu ɖe asi la hã va tsi tsitre ɖe vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ. Wotsɔ dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonu geɖe nɛ be wòatsɔ akpe ɖe ame kɔkɔeawo katã ƒe gbedodoɖawo ŋu, atsɔ aɖo sikavɔsamlekpui si le fiazikpui la ŋgɔ la dzi.
4 From the [pot in] the angel’s hand, the smoke of the incense, along with the prayers of God’s people, went up to God.
Dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonu la ƒe dzudzɔ kpe ɖe ame kɔkɔeawo ƒe gbedodoɖa ŋu ɖo Mawu gbɔ tso mawudɔla la ƒe asi me.
5 [In response], the angel took the golden incense burner and filled it with [coals of] fire from the altar. He threw [the contents of] the [MTY] incense burner onto the earth. Thunder sounded and rumbled, lightning was flashing, and the earth shook.
Emegbe la, mawudɔla la tsɔ dzoɖesonu la ɖe asi, ɖe dzo tso vɔsamlekpui la dzi kɔ ɖe eme, eye wòtsɔe xlã ɖe anyigba. Tete sokpewo ge tso dziƒo, dzi ɖe gbe, dzi ke dzo, eye anyigba ʋuʋu.
6 The seven angels, [each] of which had [one of] the seven trumpets, prepared to blow them.
Mawudɔla adre siwo wotsɔ kpẽ adreawo na la nɔ klalo na wo kuku.
7 When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire mixed with blood poured down onto the earth. [As a result], a third of [everything on the surface of] the land was burned up {[the fire] burned up a third of [everything on the surface of] the land}. A third of the trees were also burned up {It also burned up a third of the trees}, and [a third of] all the green grass was burned up.
Mawudɔla gbãtɔ ku eƒe kpẽ la. Tete tsikpe dza, eye wotsɔ dzo si wotɔtɔ kple ʋu la kɔ ɖe anyigba. Tete anyigba ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe akpa ɖeka fia. Atiwo hã ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka fia. Nenema ke gbe damawo katã hã fiae.
8 When the second angel blew his trumpet, something that was like a huge burning mountain fell into the ocean. [As a result], a third of the ocean became [red like] [MTY] blood,
Mawudɔla evelia ku eƒe kpẽ la, eye wòtsɔ nane si lolo abe to ene, eye wòle bibim la ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu me. Atsiaƒu la ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka trɔ zu ʋu.
9 a third of the living creatures in the ocean died, and a third of the ships [in the ocean] were destroyed.
Nu gbagbe siwo katã le atsiaƒua me la ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka ku, eye tɔdziʋu siwo katã nɔ atsiaƒua dzi la ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka hã tsrɔ̃.
10 When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star, which was burning like a torch, fell from the sky into a third of the rivers and into [a third of] the springs.
Mawudɔla etɔ̃lia ku eƒe kpẽ la, eye ɣletivi gã aɖe si le bibim abe akakati gã aɖe ene la ge tso dziƒo va dze tɔsisiwo kple vudowo ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka dzi.
11 The name of the star is Bitterness. [As a result], the water in a third [of the rivers and springs] became bitter, and many people died from [drinking] the water because it had become bitter.
Ɣletivi sia ŋkɔe nye “Veve.” Ale tsiwo katã ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka trɔ zu tsi veve. Ale ame geɖewo ku to tsi veve sia nono me.
12 When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, [God] struck the sun, the moon, and the stars, so that they lost a third of their light. The [sun] also did not shine during a third of the day, and [the moon and stars did not shine during a third] of the night.
Mawudɔla enelia ku eƒe kpẽ la. Tete wòtsɔ nu xe ɣe, ɣleti kple ɣletiviwo ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka ŋkume, eye viviti do. Ale ŋkeke ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka mekpɔ kekeli o, eye nenema ke zã ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka hã mekpɔ kekeli o.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the sky, shouting in a loud voice, “Terrible things will happen to [rebellious] people who live on the earth! Terrible things will happen when the three remaining angels blow their trumpets! And they are about to blow them!”
Esi mele nu siawo kpɔm la, mese hɔ̃ aɖe si nɔ dzodzom le dziƒo titina la gblɔ kple gbe gã aɖe be, “Babaa! Babaa! Babaa na anyigbadzinɔlawo le kpẽ siwo mawudɔla etɔ̃ mamlɛawo ava ku la ta!”
