Nyaɖeɖefia 20
1 Eye mekpɔ mawudɔla aɖe wòɖi tso dziƒo gbɔna. Ʋe globo la ƒe safui kple gakɔsɔkɔsɔ gã aɖe nɔ esi. (Abyssos g12)
And I saw a messenger, coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain upon his hand; (Abyssos g12)
2 Elé ʋɔ driba la, da xoxo ma si nye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ alo Satana, eye wòblae hena ƒe akpe ɖeka.
and he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is Adversary and the Accuser, and bound him for a thousand years, —
3 Etsɔe ƒu gbe ɖe ʋe gbobo la me, eye wòtui kple safui hetre enu be magable dukɔwo azɔ o, va se ɖe esime ƒe akpe ɖeka la nawu enu. Le ema megbe la, woaɖe gae hena ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe. (Abyssos g12)
and cast him into the abyss, and fastened and sealed [it] over him, —that he might not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years, should be ended: after these, must he be loosed for a short time. (Abyssos g12)
4 Mekpɔ fiazikpui siwo dzi ame siwo wona ŋusẽe be woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu la nɔ, eye mekpɔ ame siwo nu wotso ta le, le woƒe ɖaseɖiɖi na Yesu kple Mawu ƒe nya la ta la ƒe luʋɔwo. Mekpɔ ame siwo mede ta agu na lã la alo eƒe legba o la. Wogbɔ agbe, eye woɖu fia kple Kristo hena ƒe akpe ɖeka.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and sentence of judgment was given unto them; and [I saw] the souls of them who had been beheaded because of the witness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and such as had not done homage unto the wild-beast or unto his image, nor had received the mark upon their forehead or upon their hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ, for a thousand years.
5 Ame kuku mamlɛawo megbɔ agbe o, va se ɖe esime ƒe akpe ɖeka la wu enu. Esiae nye tsitretsitsi gbãtɔ.
The rest of the dead, lived not, until the thousand years, were ended. This, is the first resurrection.
6 Yayratɔwo kple ame kɔkɔewoe nye ame siwo kpɔ gome le tsitretsitsi gbãtɔ me. Ku evelia mekpɔ ŋusẽ ɖe wo dzi o, ke woanye nunɔlawo na Mawu kple Kristo, eye woaɖu dzi kplii hena ƒe akpe ɖeka.
Happy and holy, is he that hath part in the first resurrection: upon these, the second death, hath no authority; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him for the thousand years.
7 Ne ƒe akpe ɖeka la de la, woaɖe Satana tso eƒe gaxɔa me,
And, as soon as the thousand years, shall be ended, the Accuser shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 eye wòado go ayi aɖable dukɔwo le xexea me ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi, esiwo nye Gog kple Magog, be wòaƒo ame siwo ƒe xexlẽme sɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene la nu ƒu hena aʋawɔwɔ.
and will go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, the Gog and Magog, to gather them together unto the battle—the number of whom, is as the sand of the sea.
9 Wozɔ to anyigba blibo la dzi heyi ɖaɖe to ɖe Mawu ƒe amewo ƒe asaɖa, du si wòlɔ̃na vevie la. Ke dzo ge tso dziƒo va fia wo katã.
And they came up over the breadth of the land, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. And there came down fire out of heaven, and devoured them;
11 Tete mekpɔ fiazikpui ɣi gã aɖe kple ame si nɔ anyi ɖe edzi la. Anyigba kple dziŋgɔli si le eŋkume, eye teƒe aɖeke meli na wo o.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that was sitting thereon, from whose face fled the earth and heaven, and, place, was not found for them.
12 Eye mekpɔ ame kukuwo, ame deŋgɔwo kple ame gblɔewo nɔ tsitre ɖe fiazikpui la ŋgɔ, eye woʋu agbalẽwo. Woʋu agbalẽ bubu si nye agbegbalẽ la. Wodrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame kukuawo ɖe nu si wowɔ woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽawo me la nu.
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and, books, were opened, and, another book, was opened, which is, the book, of life; and the dead, were judged, out of the things written in the books, according to their works.
13 Atsiaƒu tsɔ ame kuku siwo le eme la hena. Ku kple tsiẽƒe hã ɖe woƒe ame kukuwo ɖe go, eye wodrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame sia ame ɖe nu si wòwɔ la nu. (Hadēs g86)
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and, death and hades, gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged, each one, according to their works. (Hadēs g86)
