Revelation 18
1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
Eyi akyi no, mihuu ɔbɔfo foforo sɛ ofi ɔsoro reba fam. Na ɔwɔ tumi kɛse na nʼanuonyam hyerɛn wɔ asase so nyinaa.
2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
Ɔteɛɛ mu denneennen se, “‘Wahwe ase! Babilonia Kokuroko ahwe ase!’ Adan ahonhommɔne tenabea ne ahonhom fi nyinaa ahintawee. Nnomaafi a wokyi wɔn nyinaa te ne mu.
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
Ɔde ne nsa a ɛyɛ nʼaguamammɔ a ano yɛ den no maa nnipa nyinaa nomee. Asase so ahene ne no bɔɔ aguaman, na asase so adwumayɛfo nam nʼahonya mmoroso so nyaa wɔn ho.”
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
Afei metee sɛ nne foforo bi a efi ɔsoro reka se, “Mumfi, me nkurɔfo, na moamfa mo ho amfra bɔne a ɔyɛ no mu, na mo ne no ankyɛ nʼasotwe!
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Efisɛ wɔahyehyɛ ne bɔne sɛ soro tenten, na Onyankopɔn akae nʼawudi no.
6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
Sɛnea ɔyɛɛ mo no, monyɛ no saa pɛpɛɛpɛ; nea ɔyɛɛ mo biara no, muntua ne so ka mprenu. Nsa a ɔde maa mo no, monhyɛ no nea ano yɛ den mmɔho abien.
7 However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
Momma nʼayayade ne nʼawerɛhow nnɔɔso sɛ anuonyam ne ahonya a ɔpɛ maa ne ho no. Efisɛ daa ɔka se, ‘Mete ha sɛ ɔhemmea; menyɛ okunafo, na me werɛ renhow da!’
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
Eyi nti, nʼamanehunu a ɛyɛ ɔyare, awerɛhow ne ɔkɔm bɛba ne so da bi. Na wɔde ogya ahyew no, efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn a obu no atɛn no yɛ ɔkɛse.
9 The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
“Sɛ asase so ahene a wɔne no bɔɔ aguaman, dii dɛ no hu hye a wɔrehyew no no wusiw a, wobesu atwa agyaadwo.
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
Nʼamanehunu no hu a ɛyɛ nti, wobegyina akyiri asu se, “‘Due! Due, Ao, kuropɔn, Ao Babilonia, kuropɔn a ɛwɔ tumi! Wʼatemmu aba dɔnhwerew baako pɛ mu.’
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
“Aguadifo a wɔwɔ asase so nso su no, efisɛ obiara ntɔ wɔn nneɛma bio.
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
Obiara ntɔ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ, aboɔden abo ne nhene pa, nwera pa ne ɔtamkɔkɔɔ ne sirikyi ne tamkɔkɔɔ, ne nnua a ɛyɛ huam nyinaa ne asonse adwinne nyinaa, adwinne a wɔde nnua a ne bo yɛ den ayɛ, asanka ne dade ne abohemaa,
13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
ne pɛprɛ ne mmorɔngo, nnuhuam ne kurobow, huamfufu ne nsa ne ngo, asikresiam muhumuhu ne awi, nyɛmmoa ne nguan ne apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam ne nkoa ne nnipa akra.
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
“Aguadifo no bɛka se, ‘Nneɛma pa a wopere hwehwɛe no nyinaa ayera, na wʼahonya ne wʼanuonyam no kɔ, na wo nsa renka bio.’
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
Aguadifo a wonyaa wɔn ho wɔ kurow no mu no begyina akyirikyiri efisɛ wosuro amane a ɔrehu no. Wobesu na wɔatwa agyaadwo,
16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
na wɔaka se: “‘Due! Due, Ao, kuropɔn a ofura nwera pa ne tamkɔkɔɔ na sika ne aboɔdenmmo a nhene pa bobɔ mu.
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
Dɔnhwerew pɛ, na saa ahonya dodow yi asɛe.’ “Hyɛn mu sahene ne hyɛn no mu nnipa, mu adwumayɛfo ne wɔn a wɔka ho a wonya wɔn anoduan fi hyɛn adwumayɛ mu no nyinaa gyinaa akyirikyiri.
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
Wosui wɔ bere a wohuu ogya a ɛrehyew no wusiw no, wɔteɛɛ mu kae se ‘Kuropɔn biara a ne kɛse te sɛɛ mmaa da.’”
19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
Wɔbɛtow mfutuma agu wɔn atifi na wɔasu, atwa agyaadwo se, “‘Due! Due, wo kuropɔn, wo a wɔn a wɔwɔ ahyɛn wɔ wo mu no nam wʼahonya so yɛɛ adefo. Na dɔnhwerew baako pɛ mu, woahwere biribiara!’
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
“Momma mo ani nnye wɔ ne ho, mo ɔsorofo! Momma mo ani nnye, Onyankopɔn nnipa! Momma mo ani nnye, asomafo ne adiyifo! Efisɛ Onyankopɔn abu no atɛn.”
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
Afei, ɔbɔfo hoɔdenfo bi faa ɔbo a ne kɛse bɛyɛ sɛ awiyammo tow kyenee po mu kae se, “Saa ahoɔden yi ara na wɔde bɛtow Babilonia kuropɔn no akyene, a wɔrenhu no bio.
22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
Wɔrente sankubɔfo ne nnwontofo, atɛntɛbɛnhyɛnfo ne torobɛntohyɛnfo nka wɔ mu bio. Wɔrenhu odwumfo biara wɔ wo mu bio. Na wɔrente owiyamfo biara nka wɔ wo mu bio.
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
Kanea hann renhyerɛn wɔ wo mu bio. Wɔrente ayeforokunu ne ayeforo nne wɔ wo mu bio. Wʼaguadifo yɛ wiase mu nnipa atitiriw. Na wɔde wo ntafowayi adaadaa aman nyinaa.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
Ne mu na wohuu adiyifo ne ahotefo ne wɔn a wokum wɔn wɔ asase so no nyinaa mogya.”
