< Nyaɖeɖefia 19 >
1 Le esia megbe la, mese nane si ɖi abe ameha gã aɖee le ɣli dom le dziƒo ene be, “Haleluya! Ɖeɖe kple ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ nye míaƒe Mawu la tɔ,
After these things, I heard something like the voice of many multitudes in heaven, saying: “Alleluia! Praise and glory and power is for our God.
2 elabena eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃wo nye nyateƒe, eye wole dzɔdzɔe. Ebu fɔ gbolo gã la, ame si do gu anyigba to eƒe ahasiwɔwɔwo me. Ebia hlɔ̃ ɖe eƒe dɔlawo ƒe ʋu ta.”
For true and just are his judgments, he who has judged the great harlot that corrupted the earth by her prostitution. And he has vindicated the blood of his servants from her hands.”
3 Wogado ɣli ake be, “Haleluya! Eƒe dzotɔtɔ ƒe dzudzɔ le tutum le dziƒo yim tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.” (aiōn )
And again, they said: “Alleluia! For her smoke ascends forever and ever.” (aiōn )
4 Amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-eneawo kple nu gbagbe eneawo tsyɔ mo anyi, eye wosubɔ Mawu, ame si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui dzi la. Wodo ɣli be, “Amen, Haleluya!”
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, sitting upon the throne, saying: “Amen! Alleluia!”
5 Tete gbe aɖe ɖi tso fiazikpui la gbɔ le gbɔgblɔm be, “Mikafu míaƒe Mawu la, mi eƒe dɔlawo katã, mi ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, ame gblɔewo kple ŋusẽtɔwo siaa!”
And a voice went out from the throne, saying: “Express praise to our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, small and great.”
6 Tete mese nu si ɖi abe ameha gã aɖe ƒe gbe ene, eye wòle abe tsi geɖewo ƒe sisi ƒe hoowɔwɔ alo dzi ƒe gbeɖeɖe sesẽ aɖe ene be, “Haleluya! Elabena míaƒe Aƒetɔ, Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ lae le dzi ɖum.
And I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of great thunders, saying: “Alleluia! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has reigned.
7 Mina míakpɔ dzidzɔ, atso aseye, eye míatsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe nɛ! Elabena Alẽvi la ƒe srɔ̃ɖeŋkekenyui la ɖo, eye eƒe ŋugbetɔ la dzra eɖokui ɖo le klalo.
Let us be glad and exult. And let us give glory to him. For the marriage feast of the Lamb has arrived, and his wife has prepared herself.”
8 Wotsɔ aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu si le dzo dam, eye eŋuti kɔ la nɛ be wòado.” (Aklala biɖibiɖi nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe dɔ siwo ame kɔkɔeawo wɔ la ƒe dzesi.)
And it was granted to her that she should cover herself with fine linen, splendid and white. For the fine linen is the justifications of the Saints.
9 Tete mawudɔla la gblɔ nam be, “Ŋlɔ agbalẽ be, ‘Woayra ame siwo wokpe va Alẽvi la ƒe srɔ̃ɖeɖe ƒe fiẽnuɖuƒe la!’” Egblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Esiawoe nye Mawu ƒe nya vavãwo.”
And he said to me: “Write: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These words of God are true.”
10 Esi wògblɔ esiawo vɔ la, medze anyi ɖe eƒe afɔ nu be masubɔe, gake egblɔ nam be, “Mègawɔe o! Nye hã menye dɔla abe wò ke ene, kpe ɖe nɔviwò siwo lé Yesu ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi me ɖe asi la ŋuti; subɔ Mawu ko! Elabena Yesu ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi la nye nyagblɔɖi ƒe gbɔgbɔ.”
And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he said to me: “Be careful not to do so. I am your fellow servant, and I am among your brothers, who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is a spirit of prophecy.”
11 Mekpɔ dziƒo nu le ʋuʋu ɖi, eye ame aɖe si le sɔ ɣi aɖe dzi la le nye ŋkume. Sɔdola la ƒe ŋkɔe nye Nuteƒewɔla kple Nyateƒetɔ. Edrɔ̃a ʋɔnu, eye wòwɔa aʋa le dzɔdzɔenyenye me.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was called Faithful and True. And with justice does he judge and fight.
12 Eƒe ŋkuwo le abe dzoka xɔxɔwo ene, eye fiakuku geɖewo nɔ eƒe ta. Woŋlɔ ŋkɔ aɖe ɖe eŋuti, esi ame aɖeke menya o, negbe eya ŋutɔ ko.
And his eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, having a name written, which no one knows except himself.
13 Edo awu ʋlaya si wonyrɔ ɖe ʋu me la, eye eƒe ŋkɔe nye Mawu ƒe Nya.
And he was clothed with a vestment sprinkled with blood. And his name is called: THE WORD OF GOD.
14 Dziƒoʋakɔwo nɔ eyome. Wonɔ sɔ ɣiwo dom, eye wodo awu siwo wotɔ kple aklala biɖibiɖi, wofu tititi la, eye wo ŋuti kɔ.
And the armies that are in heaven were following him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 Yi ɖaɖɛ aɖe do tso eƒe nu me, esi wòatsɔ adza dukɔwo akɔ ɖi; atsɔ gatikplɔ akplɔ wo. Efia wain le wainfiaƒe kple Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ.
And from his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, so that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with an iron rod. And he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 Woŋlɔ ŋkɔ sia ɖe eƒe awu ʋlaya kple eƒe ata ŋu be, Fiawo ƒe Fia kple Aƒetɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ.
And he has on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 Mekpɔ mawudɔla aɖe le tsitre ɖe ŋdɔgbe, ame si do ɣli kple gbe sesẽ na xevi siwo katã le dzodzom le yame la be, “Miva ƒo ƒu hena Mawu ƒe fiẽnuɖuɖu ƒe kplɔ̃ɖoɖo gã la,
And I saw a certain Angel, standing in the sun. And he cried out with a great voice, saying to all the birds that were flying through the midst of the sky, “Come and gather together for the great supper of God,
18 ale be miaɖu fiawo, aʋafiawo, kalẽtɔwo, sɔwo kple wo dolawo kple amewo katã ƒe lã, ablɔɖeviwo kple kluviwo, ame gblɔewo kple ŋusẽtɔwo siaa.”
so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of tribunes, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses and those sitting on them, and the flesh of all: free and servant, small and great.”
19 Tete mekpɔ lã wɔadã la kple anyigbadzifiawo kple woƒe aʋakɔwo woƒo ƒu hena aʋawɔwɔ kple ame si le sɔ ɣi la dzi la kple eƒe aʋakɔ.
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, having been gathered together to do battle against him who was sitting upon the horse, and against his army.
20 Ke wolé lã wɔadã la kple aʋatsonyagbɔɖila la, ame si wɔ nukunu geɖewo le eƒe ŋkɔ me. Etsɔ dzesi siawo ble ame siwo xɔ lã wɔadã la ƒe dzesi, ame siwo hã subɔ eƒe legba la. Wotsɔ wo kple eve la katã ƒu gbe ɖe aŋɔdzota si le bibim la me agbagbee. (Limnē Pyr )
And the beast was apprehended, and with him the false prophetess, who in his presence caused the signs, by which she seduced those who accepted the character of the beast and who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire burning with sulphur. (Limnē Pyr )
21 Wowu wo dometɔ mamlɛawo kple yi si do go tso sɔdola la ƒe nu me la, eye dziƒoxeviwo va ɖu woƒe lã, eye woɖi ƒo.
And the others were slain by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of him who was sitting upon the horse. And all the birds were sated with their flesh.
