< 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 behold, a Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand, having 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.
and I heard a voice out of Heaven, as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder, and I heard a voice of harpists harping with 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 sing, as it were, a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand who have been bought 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 were not defiled with women, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the Lamb wherever He may go; these were bought from among men—a first-fruit to God and to the Lamb—
5 Womekpɔ alakpa aɖeke le woƒe nu me o, elabena wonye mokakamanɔŋutɔwo.
and in their mouth there was not found guile, for they are unblemished 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 messenger flying in midair, having continuous good news to proclaim to those dwelling on the earth, and 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 in a great voice, “Fear God, and give to Him glory, because the hour of His judgment came, and worship Him who made the sky, and the land, and sea, and 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 messenger followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom she has given to all nations to drink.”
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 messenger followed them, saying in 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 that has been mingled unmixed in the cup of His anger, and he will be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy messengers, 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 torment goes up through ages of ages; and they have no rest day and night, who are worshiping the beast and his image, also if any receive 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 endurance of the holy ones; here [are] those keeping the commands 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 out of Heaven saying to me, “Write: Blessed are the dead who are dying in the LORD from this time!” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “That they may rest from their labors—and their works follow 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 behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud [One] sitting like [a] Son of Man, having on His head a golden garland, 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 another messenger came forth out of the temple crying in a great voice to Him who is sitting on the cloud, “Send forth Your sickle and reap, because the hour of reaping has come to You, because the harvest of the earth has been 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 is sitting on the cloud put forth 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.
And another messenger came forth out of the temple that [is] in Heaven, having—he also—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 messenger came forth out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he called with a great cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because her grapes have come to perfection”;
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 messenger put forth his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] 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 winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came forth out of the winepress—to the bridles of the horses, one thousand six hundred stadia.
