Nyaɖeɖefia 11
1 Wotsɔ aƒla si le abe nudzidzeti ene la nam, eye wogblɔ nam be, “Yi nàdzidze Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la, eye nàxlẽ mawusubɔla siwo le afi ma la.
I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood saying: “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship there.
2 Ke ɖe xɔxɔnu si le gbedoxɔa ŋuti la le eme; mègadzidzee o, elabena wotsɔe na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o. Woanya avuzi le du kɔkɔe la dzi ɣleti blaene-vɔ-eve sɔŋ.
But leave out the outer court of the temple and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations; and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.
3 Mana ŋusẽ nye ɖasefo eveawo, eye woata akpanya agblɔ nya ɖi hena ŋkeke akpe ɖeka alafa eve blaade.”
And I will give authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 Esiawoe nye amiti eve kple akaɖiti eve siwo le tsitre ɖe anyigba la ƒe Aƒetɔ la ŋkume.
These are the two olive trees, even the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 Ne ame aɖe dze agbagba be yeawɔ nu vevi wo la, dzo dona le woƒe nu me hefiaa woƒe futɔwo. Aleae ame si di be yeawɔ nu vevi wo la akue.
And if anyone wants to harm them fire comes out of their mouths and consumes their enemies. So if anyone wants to harm them he must be killed in this way.
6 Ŋutsu siawo la, ŋusẽ le wo si be woatu dziŋgɔli, ale be tsi magadza le ɣeyiɣi si me wole nya gblɔm ɖi la o; ŋusẽ le wo si be woatrɔ tsiwo woazu ʋu, eye woada dɔvɔ̃ ƒomevi vovovowo ɖe anyigba dzi zi ale si wolɔ̃.
They have authority to shut up the sky so that no rain falls during the days of their prophecy; and they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they wish.
7 Azɔ ne wowu woƒe ɖaseɖiɖi nu la, lã si ado tso ʋe globo la me la ava wɔ avu kpli wo, aɖu wo dzi, eye wòawu wo. (Abyssos g12)
When they finish their witness, the Beast of prey that comes up out of the Abyss will make war with them, overcome them and kill them (Abyssos g12)
8 Woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo amlɔ du gã la ƒe mɔtatawo dzi, du gã si wona ŋkɔe le nyamenya nu be Sodom kple Egipte, afi si woklã woƒe Aƒetɔ la ɖe ati ŋu le.
—and leave their corpses in the street of the great city! (which is called Sodom and Egypt, spiritually speaking), even where their Lord was crucified.
9 Amewo atso ƒome ɖe sia ɖe, to ɖe sia ɖe, gbegbɔgblɔ ɖe sia ɖe kple dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe me akpɔ woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo ŋkeke etɔ̃ kple afã, eye woagbe be yewomaɖi wo o.
And those from the peoples, tribes, languages and ethnic nations look at their corpses three and a half days, and will not allow their corpses to be buried.
10 Anyigbadzinɔlawo akpɔ dzidzɔ le wo ŋuti, eye woaɖu azã, aɖo nunanawo ɖe wo nɔewo, elabena nyagblɔɖila eve siawo wɔ funyafunya ame siwo le anyigba dzi la.
And those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will enjoy themselves and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
11 Ke le ŋkeke etɔ̃ kple afã la megbe la, agbegbɔgbɔ tso Mawu gbɔ ge ɖe ame kukuawo me, wotsi tsitre, eye ŋɔdzi gã aɖe lé ame siwo kpɔ wo la.
And after three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them and they stood on their feet, and a great fear fell on those who were watching them.
12 Tete wose gbe gã aɖe tso dziƒo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Miva dziƒo afii.” Ale woyi dziƒo le lilikpo me, eye woƒe futɔwo da ŋku ɖe wo dzi.
And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.
13 Le gaƒoƒo ma ke me la, anyigba ʋuʋu ŋɔdzitɔe, eye du la ƒe mama ewo dometɔ ɖeka mu dze anyi; ame akpe adre tsrɔ̃ le anyigbaʋuʋu la me. Ke ŋɔdzi lé agbetsilawo, eye wotsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe na Mawu dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.
And in that day there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand individuals were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became fearful and gave glory to the God of heaven.)
14 Babadodo evelia nu va yi, ke etɔ̃lia gbɔna kpuie.
The second woe is past. Look out, here comes the third woe!
15 Mawudɔla adrelia ku eƒe kpẽ la, eye gbe sesẽ aɖewo ɖi le dziƒo nutowo me bena, “Xexea me ƒe fiaɖuƒe la zu míaƒe Aƒetɔ kple eƒe Kristo la ƒe fiaɖuƒe, eye wòaɖu fia tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.” (aiōn g165)
So the seventh angel trumpeted, and there were loud voices in heaven saying: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (aiōn g165)
16 Eye amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-eneawo, ame siwo nɔ woƒe fiazikpuiwo dzi le Mawu ŋkume la tsyɔ mo anyi, eye wosubɔ Mawu,
And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in God's presence, fell on their faces and worshiped God
17 le gbɔgblɔm be, “O Aƒetɔ Mawu, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, míeda akpe na wò, wò ame si li fifia, eye nènɔ anyi kpɔ, elabena èxɔ wò ŋusẽ triakɔ la, eye nèdze dziɖuɖu gɔme.
saying: “We thank You, O Lord God Almighty, He who is and who was and who is coming, because You have taken up your great power and begun to reign.
18 Dukɔwo le nyanyram, eye wò dziku ɖiɖi va. Ɣeyiɣi de be woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu kukuawo, eye woatu fe na wò dɔla, nyagblɔɖilawo, wò ame kɔkɔeawo kple ame siwo dea bubu wò ŋkɔ ŋuti la, ame gblɔewo kple amegãwo siaa. Nenema ke míeda akpe na wò be nètsrɔ̃ ame siwo tsrɔ̃ anyigba la.”
The nations were angry and your wrath came, even the time for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to Your slaves the prophets, and to the saints and those who fear your name, small and great, and to destroy those who have corrupted the earth.”
19 Emegbe la, woʋu Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ le dziƒo, eye wokpɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka le eƒe gbedoxɔ me. Tete dzi ke dzo, dzi ɖe gbe, sokpewo ge, anyigba ʋuʋu, eye kpetsi gã aɖe dza.
And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings and huge hail.
