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.
AND there was given me a cane like a measuring staff; and the angel stood by, saying, Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship therein.
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 the exterior court of the temple leave out, and measure it not; because it is given to the Gentiles: and they shall trample under foot the holy city 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 charge to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a 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, and the two lamps which stand before the face of the God 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 any person attempts to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any person attempts to injure them, he must thus be slain.
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.
These have power to shut up the heaven, that no rain water the earth during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they will.
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)
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast which ascendeth out of hell shall make war with them, and shall overcome them, and put them to death. (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 their corpses shall be exposed in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also our 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 they of the people and tribes and tongues and nations will look upon their corpses three days and half, and they will not permit their corpses to be laid in sepulchres.
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 the dwellers upon earth will rejoice over them, and be very glad, and will send gifts to each other; because these two prophets were a torment to 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 days and half, the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood up on their feet; and great terror fell on those who beheld 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 they heard a great voice out of heaven, saying unto them, Ascend up hither. And they ascended into heaven in a cloud: and their enemies beheld 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 the same hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and there were slain in the earthquake seven thousand men of note: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 Babadodo evelia nu va yi, ke etɔ̃lia gbɔna kpuie.
The second woe is past; behold the third woe is coming quickly.
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)
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world are become our Lord’s, and his Messiah’s, and he shall reign for ever 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 four and twenty presbyters, who were seated before God upon their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshipped 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 give thanks to thee, Lord the Almighty God, who is and who was, and who is coming, because thou hast assumed thy great power, and hast set up the throne of thy kingdom.
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.”
Though the nations were incensed, yet thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to all who fear thy name, to the small and to the great; and to destroy those who have destroyed 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 was opened in the heaven, and there appeared the ark of his covenant in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and earthquake, and a great hail.
