< 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, and lo, a lamb stood upon the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having the name of his Father inscribed 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.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the roar of loud thunder; and I heard the sound of harpers harping 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.
and they sang as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living beings, and the presbyters: and no person could learn that song, but the hundred forty-four thousand, who were redeemed from 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 they who have not defiled themselves with women; for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth: these have been redeemed among men, as first-fruits to God, and to the Lamb.
5 Womekpɔ alakpa aɖeke le woƒe nu me o, elabena wonye mokakamanɔŋutɔwo.
And in their mouth no guile is found; for they are blameless before the throne of God.
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 flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach the glad tidings to the inhabitants of the earth, to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, 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, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him that made the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains 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.”
And another angel followed, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because all nations have been made to drink of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom.
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 followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any person worship the beast, and his image, and receive the brand upon his forehead, and upon his right 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 shall drink of the wine of the fury of God, which is mixed undiluted with water in the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone 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 )
and the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever: and they have no respite day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the brand 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 patience of the saints: here are they 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.”
And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, from henceforward: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may have rest from their labours; but their works follow after 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, and, lo! a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat one like to 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.”
And anther angel came forth out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud, Put in thy sickle, and reap: for the hour is come for thee to reap; because the harvest of the earth is fully 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.
And he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle upon 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.
And another angel came forth out of the temple which is in heaven, having also himself 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.”
And another angel came forth from the altar, having authority over fire; and he cried with a loud voice to him who held the sharp sickle, saying, Put in thy sharp sickle, and gather the bunches of the vine of the earth; for her clusters are 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.
And the angel thrust in his sickle upon the earth, and gathered the grapes of the vine of the earth, and cast them into the great winepress 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 wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood issued from the wine-press, as high as the horses’ bridles, for the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
