< 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.
And I saw the Lamb on the mountain of Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, marked on their brows with his name and the name of his Father.
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.
And a voice from heaven came to my ears, like the sound of great waters, and the sound of loud thunder: and the voice which came to me was like the sound of players, playing on instruments of music.
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.
And they made as it seemed a new song before the high seat, and before the four beasts and the rulers: and no man might have knowledge of the song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, even those from the earth whom God has made his for a price.
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 they who have not made themselves unclean with women; for they are virgins. These are they who go after the Lamb wherever he goes. These were taken from among men to be the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
5 Womekpɔ alakpa aɖeke le woƒe nu me o, elabena wonye mokakamanɔŋutɔwo.
And in their mouth there was no false word, for they are untouched by evil.
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 )
And I saw another angel in flight between heaven and earth, having eternal good news to give to those who are on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and language and people, (aiōnios )
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.”
Saying with a loud voice, Have fear of God and give him glory; because the hour of his judging is come; and give worship to him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water.
8 Mawudɔla evelia kplɔe ɖo le ɣli dom be, “Womui! Womu Babilonia Gã la, Babilonia si na dukɔwo no eƒe ahasiwɔwɔ ƒe dɔmedzoewain la.”
And a second angel came after, saying, Destruction has come to Babylon the great, which gave to all the nations the wine of the wrath of her evil ways.
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,
And a third angel came after them, saying with a loud voice, If any man gives worship to the beast and his image, and has his mark on his brow 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,
To him will be given of the wine of God's wrath which is ready unmixed in the cup of his wrath and he will have cruel pain, burning with fire before the holy angels and before 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 )
And the smoke of their pain goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, who give worship to the beast and his image, and have on them the mark of his name. (aiōn )
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 quiet strength of the saints, who keep the orders 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.”
And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go 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.
And I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud I saw one seated, like a son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp curved blade.
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.”
And another angel came out from the house of God, crying with a loud voice to him who was seated on the cloud, Put in your blade, and let the grain be cut: because the hour for cutting it is come; for the grain of the earth is over-ready.
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.
And he who was seated on the cloud sent in his blade on the earth; and the grain of the earth was cut.
17 Mawudɔla bubu do tso gbedoxɔ si le dziƒo la me. Nuxahɛ gobɛ ɖaɖɛ nɔ eya hã ƒe asi me.
And another angel came out from the house of God which is in heaven, having a sharp curved blade.
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.”
And another angel came out from the altar, who has power over fire; and he gave a loud cry to him who had the sharp curved blade, saying, Put in your sharp blade, and let the grapes of the vine of the earth be cut; for her grapes are fully ready.
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.
And the angel sent his blade into the earth, and the vine of the earth was cut, and he put it into the great wine-crusher 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.
And the grapes were crushed under foot outside the town, and blood came out from them, even to the head-bands of the horses, two hundred miles.
