After these things I looked, and behold a door opened in heaven, and the voice first that I heard like a trumpet was speaking with me (saying; *N(k)O*) do come up here, and I will show to you what it behooves to take place after these things.
2 Tete menɔ Gbɔgbɔ la me, eye fiazikpui aɖe si le dziƒo la nɔ nye ŋkume, eye ame aɖe nɔ edzi.
(and *k*) immediately I was in [the] Spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven, and upon (the throne *N(k)O*) [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 the [One] sitting (was *k*) like in appearance stone jasper and sardius And a rainbow [was] around the throne (like in appearance *NK(o)*) (an emerald. *N(k)O*)
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 around the throne (thrones *N(k)O*) [were] twenty (and *k*) four, and on the thrones (I saw *K*) (*k*) twenty (and *k*) four elders sitting, having clothed themselves in garments white, and (had *k*) on the heads of them crowns golden.
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 out of the throne come flashes of lightning and voices and thunderings, And [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne (of him *O*) (which *N(k)O*) 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 before the throne ([was something] like *NO*) a sea of glass, like as crystal, And in [the] midst of the throne and around the throne [were] four living creatures being full of eyes in front 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 living creature first [was] like as a lion, and the second living creature like as a calf, and the third living creature (he is having *N(k)O*) the face as (of a man, *N(k)O*) and the fourth living creature like as 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, one for (one *n(o)*) (of them *N(k)O*) (he having *N(k)(o)*) respectively wings six around and within (full *N(k)O*) of eyes and rest not they have by day and night (saying: *N(k)O*) Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty, who was being and who is being and who is coming.
9 Ne nu gbagbeawo le ŋutikɔkɔe, bubu kple akpedada tsɔm na ame si nɔ fiazikpui la dzi, eye wòle agbe tegbetegbe la, (aiōn )
And whenever (will give *NK(o)*) the living creatures glory and honor and thanksgiving to the [One] sitting upon (the throne, *N(k)O*) who is living to the ages of the ages, (aiōn )
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 )
will fall the twenty (and *k*) four elders before the [One] sitting upon the throne and (they will worship *N(k)O*) the [One] living to the ages of the ages and (they will cast *N(k)O*) the crowns of them before the throne saying: (aiōn )
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.”
Worthy are You Lord (and the God of us, *NO*) (the Holy One *O*) to receive glory and honor and power. for You yourself created all things, and because of the will of You (they were existing *N(k)O*) and were created.
