Nyaɖeɖefia 4

1 Le esia megbe la, mekpɔ ʋɔtru aɖe le ʋuʋu le dziƒo le nye ŋkume, eye gbe si mese gbã wònɔ nu ƒom nam abe kpẽ ƒe ɖiɖi ene la gblɔ be, “Va dziƒo afii, eye mafia nu si ava adzɔ le etsɔ me la wò.”

After these things I looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, as it were, of a trumpet speaking with me, said: Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must be done hereafter.

2 Tete menɔ Gbɔgbɔ la me, eye fiazikpui aɖe si le dziƒo la nɔ nye ŋkume, eye ame aɖe nɔ edzi.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.

3 Ame si nɔ fiazikpuia dzi la ƒe dzedzeme le abe kpe xɔasiwo, yaspa kple kanelia ene. Anyieʋɔ si le abe kpe xɔasi emerald ene la ƒo xlã fiazikpui la.

And he that sat, was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

4 Fiazikpui sue blaeve-vɔ-ene ƒo xlã fiazikpui gãtɔ la, eye amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-ene nɔ wo dzi. Wo katã wodo awu ɣiwo, eye woɖɔ sikafiakukuwo.

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats; and upon the seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads were crowns of gold.

5 Dzikedzo, dziɖegbe kple sokpewo le dodom tso fiazikpui la me. Akaɖi adre nɔ bibim le fiazikpui la ŋgɔ. Esiawoe nye Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ adreawo.

And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there were seven lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.

6 Nane si le abe atsiaƒu ene, esi me kɔ abe kristalokpe ene la hã nɔ fiazikpui la ŋgɔ le afi ma. Nu gbagbe ene nɔ titina ƒo xlã fiazikpui la, eye woƒe ŋkuwo ƒo xlã wo, le ŋgɔ kple megbe siaa.

And in the sight of the throne was, as it were, a sea of glass like to crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind.

7 Nu gbagbe siawo dometɔ gbãtɔ ɖi dzata. Evelia ɖi nyitsu. Etɔ̃lia ƒe mo ɖi amegbetɔ tɔ, eye enelia le abe hɔ̃ si keke eƒe aʋalawo abe dzodzom wòle ene.

And the first living creature was like a lion: and the second living creature like a calf: and the third living creature, having the face, as it were, of a man: and the fourth living creature was like an eagle flying.

8 Aʋala ade nɔ nu gbagbe eneawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe si, woto ŋku ɖe aʋalawo ŋu kpe ɖo, eye woto ŋku ɖe woƒe aʋalawo te gɔ̃ hã. Wonɔ ha dzim madzudzɔmadzudzɔe zã kple keli be,

And the four living creatures had each of them six wings; and round about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.

9 Ne nu gbagbeawo le ŋutikɔkɔe, bubu kple akpedada tsɔm na ame si nɔ fiazikpui la dzi, eye wòle agbe tegbetegbe la, (aiōn g165)

And when those living creatures gave glory, and honour, and benediction to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever; (aiōn g165)

10 ekema amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-eneawo yia klo dzi hetsyɔa mo anyi ɖe eya ame si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi la ŋgɔ, eye wosubɔa eya ame si le agbe tegbetegbe la. Woɖea woƒe fiakukuwo dana ɖe fiazikpui la ŋgɔ henɔa ha dzim be, (aiōn g165)

The four and twenty ancients fell down before him that sitteth on the throne, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)

11 “Míaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Mawu, wòe dze be nàxɔ ŋutikɔkɔe, bubu kple ŋusẽ, elabena wòe wɔ nuwo katã; wò lɔlɔ̃nue nètsɔ wɔ woe, eye wò lɔlɔ̃nue na be wole agbe.”

Thou art worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory, and honour, and power: because thou hast created all things; and for thy will they were, and have been created.
