Nyaɖeɖefia 20
1 Eye mekpɔ mawudɔla aɖe wòɖi tso dziƒo gbɔna. Ʋe globo la ƒe safui kple gakɔsɔkɔsɔ gã aɖe nɔ esi. (Abyssos g12)
I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
2 Elé ʋɔ driba la, da xoxo ma si nye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ alo Satana, eye wòblae hena ƒe akpe ɖeka.
He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, 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 shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed 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.
I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgement was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with 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 didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. 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.
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.
7 Ne ƒe akpe ɖeka la de la, woaɖe Satana tso eƒe gaxɔa me,
And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from 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 he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number 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.
They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God 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.
I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place 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.
I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were 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)
The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. (Hadēs g86)
