< Nyaɖeɖefia 14 >
1 Kasia mekpɔ Alẽvi la le ŋkunyeme. Enɔ tsitre ɖe Zion to la dzi, eye ame akpe alafa ɖeka blaene-vɔ-ene, ame siwo ƒe ŋgowo nu woŋlɔ eŋkɔ kple Fofoa tɔ ɖo la nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ.
I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
2 Mese gbe aɖe tso dziƒo abe tsi geɖewo ƒe hoowɔwɔ alo dzi ƒe gbeɖeɖe ene. Gbe si mese la nɔ abe kasaŋkuƒolawoe nɔ woƒe kasaŋkuwo ƒom ene.
I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
3 Tete wodzi ha yeye le fiazikpui la ŋgɔ kple nu gbagbe eneawo kpakple amegãxoxoawo ƒe ŋkume. Ame aɖeke mete ŋu srɔ̃ ha la o, negbe ame akpe alafa ɖeka blaene-vɔ-ene, ame siwo woɖe tso anyigba dzi la ko.
They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
4 Ame siawoe nye ame siwo meƒo ɖi wo ɖokuiwo kple nyɔnunya o, elabena wowɔ wo ɖokuiwo kɔkɔe. Wokplɔa Alẽvi la ɖo yia afi sia afi si wòyina la. Woƒle wo tso amegbetɔwo dome, eye wotsɔ wo na Mawu kple Alẽvi la abe nukuwo ƒe gbãtɔwo ene.
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
5 Womekpɔ alakpa aɖeke le woƒe nu me o, elabena wonye mokakamanɔŋutɔwo.
In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
6 Tete mekpɔ mawudɔla bubu wònɔ dzodzom le yame, eye nyanyui mavɔ la le esi ne wòaɖe gbeƒãe na ame siwo le anyigba dzi, na dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe, to ɖe sia ɖe, gbegbɔgblɔ ɖe sia ɖe kple ƒome ɖe sia ɖe. (aiōnios )
I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having the consummate (aiōnios ) Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
7 Egblɔ kple gbe gã aɖe be, “Mivɔ̃ Mawu, eye mitsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe nɛ, elabena eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ƒe gaƒoƒo la va ɖo. Misubɔ eya ame si wɔ dziƒowo, anyigba, atsiaƒu kple tsi dzidziwo.”
He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”
8 Mawudɔla evelia kplɔe ɖo le ɣli dom be, “Womui! Womu Babilonia Gã la, Babilonia si na dukɔwo no eƒe ahasiwɔwɔ ƒe dɔmedzoewain la.”
Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”
9 Mawudɔla etɔ̃lia kplɔ wo ɖo le gbɔgblɔm kple gbe gã aɖe be, “Ne ame aɖe asubɔ lã wɔadã la kple eƒe legba, eye wòaxɔ eƒe dzesi ɖe ŋgonu alo eƒe asi ŋuti la,
Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10 eya hã ano Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe ƒe wain si wokɔ ɖe Mawu ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ ƒe kplu la me wòyɔ banaa la. Woawɔ funyafunyae kple aŋɔdzo le mawudɔla kɔkɔeawo kple Alẽvi la ŋkume,
he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
11 eye woƒe fuwɔame ƒe dzudzɔ atu ayi dziƒo tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Dzudzɔ aɖeke meli na ame siwo subɔ lã wɔadã la kple eƒe legba la zã kple keli, alo na ame si xɔ eƒe ŋkɔ ƒe dzesi ɖe eƒe ŋgonu o.” (aiōn )
The smoke of their torment goes up for ages (aiōn ) of ages (aiōn ). They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
12 Esia hiã dzigbɔɖi le dzidodo me le ame kɔkɔeawo ƒe akpa dzi, ame siwo wɔa Mawu ƒe sededewo dzi, eye wonɔa nuteƒewɔwɔ dzi na Yesu.
Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
13 Ke mese gbe aɖe tso dziƒo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Ŋlɔ agbalẽ be: Woayra ame siwo ku le Aƒetɔ la me tso azɔ dzi heyina.” “Ɛ̃,” Gbɔgbɔ la le gbɔgblɔm be, “Woadzudzɔ tso woƒe dɔwɔwɔwo me, elabena woƒe nuwɔnawo adze wo yome.”
I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them.”
14 Tete mekpɔ lilikpo ɣi aɖe le nye ŋkume, eye ame aɖe si le abe Amegbetɔ Vi la ene la nɔ anyi ɖe lilikpo la dzi. Sikafiakuku le ta nɛ, eye wòlé nuxahɛ gobɛ ɖaɖɛ ɖe asi.
I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 Kasia mawudɔla bubu do tso gbedoxɔ la me, eye wòdo ɣli kple gbe sesẽ gblɔ na ame si nɔ anyi ɖe lilikpo la dzi be, “Tsɔ wò nuxahɛ gobɛ la, eye nàxa nu, elabena nuŋeɣi ɖo, eye anyigba ƒe nukuwo ɖi hena xaxa.”
Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!”
16 Ale ame si nɔ lilikpoa dzi la nye eƒe nuxahɛ gobɛ la ɖe anyigba blibo la tame, ale wòxa nukuwo le anyigba la dzi.
He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 Mawudɔla bubu do tso gbedoxɔ si le dziƒo la me. Nuxahɛ gobɛ ɖaɖɛ nɔ eya hã ƒe asi me.
Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.
18 Mawudɔla bubu kplɔ eya hã ɖo; eyae nye ame si kpɔa dzo la dzi. Edo tso vɔsamlekpui la me, eye wògblɔ na ame si lé nuxahɛ gobɛ ɖaɖɛ la ɖe asi la kple gbe sesẽ aɖe be, “Tsɔ wò hɛ gobɛ ɖaɖɛ la, eye nàxa wainkpo siwo le anyigba ƒe wainkawo ŋu, elabena eƒe waintsetseawo ɖi.”
Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!”
19 Mawudɔla la nye eƒe nuxahɛ gobɛ la ɖe anyigba dzi, eye wòxa eƒe wain tsetsewo hetsɔ wo trɔ ɖe Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe ƒe wainfiaƒe gã la.
The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
20 Wonya avuzi le wo dzi le wainfiaƒe la le du la godo; ʋu si do le wainfiaƒe la me le ɖɔɖɔm va se ɖe sɔwo ƒe numegawo ŋuti ke; afi si wòsi ɖo la anɔ abe kilomita alafa etɔ̃ ene.
The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.
