< Revelation 11 >
1 And there was given to me a reed like to a rod, and the messenger stood, saying, 'Rise, and measure the sanctuary of God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it;
Wɔmaa me susudua bi a ɛte sɛ poma, na wɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Sɔre na susu Onyankopɔn asɔredan no ne afɔrebukyia no na kan wɔn a wɔresom wɔ asɔredan no mu no.
2 and the court that is without the sanctuary leave out, and thou mayest not measure it, because it was given to the nations, and the holy city they shall tread down forty-two months;
Nanso, mfa asɔredan no adihɔ nka ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde hɔ ama amanamanmufoɔ, na wɔbɛtiatia kuro kronkron no so abosome aduanan mmienu.
3 and I will give to My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy days, a thousand, two hundred, sixty, arrayed with sackcloth;
Mɛsoma mʼadansefoɔ baanu a wɔfirafira ayitoma, na wɔaka Onyankopɔn asɛm saa nna apem ahanu ne aduosia no mu.”
4 these are the two olive [trees], and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand;
Saa adansefoɔ baanu no ne ngo dua mmienu no ne nkaneadua mmienu a ɛsi asase a ɛwɔ Awurade anim no so no.
5 and if any one may will to injure them, fire doth proceed out of their mouth, and doth devour their enemies, and if any one may will to injure them, thus it behoveth him to be killed.
Egya firi wɔn anom bɛkunkum atamfoɔ biara a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔha wɔn no. Ɛno enti, obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔha wɔn no, wɔbɛkum no.
6 These have authority to shut the heaven, that it may not rain rain in the days of their prophecy, and authority they have over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the land with every plague, as often as they may will.
Wɔwɔ tumi sɛ ɛberɛ a wɔreka Onyankopɔn asɛm no, wɔto soro mu, a osuo rentɔ. Wɔwɔ tumi sɛ wɔde ɔhaw bɛto asase so mpɛn dodoɔ biara a wɔpɛ.
7 'And when they may finish their testimony, the beast that is coming up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them, (Abyssos )
Na sɛ wɔka wɔn asɛm no wie a, aboa a ɔbɛfiri bunu no mu apue no ne wɔn bɛko. Ɔbɛdi wɔn so akum wɔn (Abyssos )
8 and their dead bodies [are] upon the broad-place of the great city (that is called spiritually Sodom, and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified, )
na wɔn amu no agu kuro kɛseɛ no abɔntene so, wɔ baabi a wɔbɔɔ wɔn Awurade nnadewa mu wɔ asɛnnua no so a ɛhɔ din pa de Sodom ne Misraim no.
9 and they shall behold — they of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations — their dead bodies three days and a half, and their dead bodies they shall not suffer to be put into tombs,
Na nnipa a wɔfiri aman so ne mmusuakuo ne kasa ahodoɔ ne aman bi so bɛhwɛ wɔn afunu nnansa ne fa, na wɔremma ɛkwan mma wɔnsie wɔn.
10 and those dwelling upon the land shall rejoice over them, and shall make merry, and gifts they shall send to one another, because these — the two prophets — did torment those dwelling upon the land.'
Asase so nnipa ani bɛgye sɛ saa nnipa baanu no awuwu. Wɔbɛgye wɔn ani na wɔakyɛ wɔn ho akyɛdeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, saa adiyifoɔ baanu no na wɔde ɔhaw bɛtoo asase sofoɔ so.
11 And after the three days and a half, a spirit of life from God did enter into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those beholding them,
Nanso, nnansa akyi no, Honhom a ɔfiri Onyankopɔn hɔ bɛwura wɔn mu na wɔasɔre. Na ehu kɛseɛ bɛka obiara a ɔbɛhunu.
12 and they heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, 'Come up hither;' and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them;
Afei, nne a ano yɛ den firi ɔsoro bɛka sɛ, “Mommra ɔsoro ha.” Na ɛberɛ a wɔn atamfoɔ rehwɛ wɔn no, wɔnam omununkum mu kɔɔ ɔsoro.
13 and in that hour came a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city did fall, and killed in the earthquake were names of men — seven thousands, and the rest became affrighted, and they gave glory to the God of the heaven.
Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, asase wosoo dendeenden. Kuro no nkyɛmu edu mu baako sɛeɛ, na nnipa mpemnson wuwuiɛ wɔ asasewosoɔ no mu. Nnipa a wɔaka no bɔɔ hu na wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no kɛseyɛ.
14 The second woe did go forth, lo, the third woe doth come quickly.
Ɔhaw a ɛtɔ so mmienu no atwa, nanso hwɛ, ɛrenkyɛre na ɔhaw a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa aba.
15 And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of the world did become [those] of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!' (aiōn )
Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so nson hyɛnee ne totorobɛnto, na nne denden wɔ ɔsoro kaa sɛ, “Tumi a wɔde di ewiase so seesei no yɛ yɛn Awurade ne ne Kristo no dea, na ɔbɛdi ɔhene daa daa.” (aiōn )
16 and the twenty and four elders, who before God are sitting upon their thrones, did fall upon their faces, and did bow before God,
Afei, mpanimfoɔ aduonu ɛnan a wɔte wɔn ahennwa so Onyankopɔn anim no de wɔn anim butubutu fam, somm Onyankopɔn,
17 saying, 'We give thanks to Thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art coming, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and didst reign;
kaa sɛ, “Yɛda wo ase, Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn, wo a wowɔ hɔ na wowɔ hɔ dada, sɛ woafa wo tumi kɛseɛ, na wahyɛ aseɛ redi ɔhene.
18 and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the land.'
Amanaman no bo fuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ wʼabofuo berɛ no aduru a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbu awufoɔ atɛn. Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ wo nkoa adiyifoɔ no aba so ne wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔdi wo din ni no, akɛseɛ ne nketewa. Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wosɛe wɔn a wɔsɛee asase no!”
19 And opened was the sanctuary of God in the heaven, and there was seen the ark of His covenant in His sanctuary, and there did come lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no bueɛ maa wɔhunuu adaka a apam no wɔ mu no wɔ asɔredan no mu. Afei, anyinam ne aprannaa paapaee, ɛnna asase wosoeɛ na asukɔtweaa bebree nso tɔeɛ.
