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.
Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count 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 exclude the courtyard outside the temple; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles, 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 for one thousand two hundred 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 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.
If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. 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.
These two men have the power to shut the sky, so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophesying. They also have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every plague as often as they want.
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 have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will wage war against them, and overpower 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.
Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which in a spiritual sense is called Sodom and Egypt, 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.
For three and a half days some from among the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will look at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb.
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 will rejoice over them and celebrate and give each other gifts, because these two prophets had 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.
But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon 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.
Then I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud while 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.
On that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 Babadodo evelia nu va yi, ke etɔ̃lia gbɔna kpuie.
The second woe has passed. 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)
Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, 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 will 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 before the throne of God, 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 give thanks to yoʋ, O Lord God, the Almighty, who is and who was, because yoʋ have taken yoʋr 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, but yoʋr wrath has come, and the time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding yoʋr servants the prophets, along with the saints and those who fear yoʋr name, both small and great, and for destroying those who destroy 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.
Then 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 flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and great hail.
