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 this I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven! And the voice I had previously heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show yoʋ what must take place after this.”
2 Tete menɔ Gbɔgbɔ la me, eye fiazikpui aɖe si le dziƒo la nɔ nye ŋkume, eye ame aɖe nɔ edzi.
Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, there was a throne in heaven, with one sitting on the throne,
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.
like jasper and carnelian in appearance. And around the throne was a rainbow that looked like 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.
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and sitting on the thrones were the twenty-four elders. They were clothed in white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
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.
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, and there were seven flaming torches burning before the throne; these 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.
Also before the throne was something like a sea of glass that looked like crystal. Around the throne on each side were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.
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.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like an eagle in flight.
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,
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the 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 whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever 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 twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne and say, (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.”
“Yoʋ are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive glory, honor, and power; for yoʋ created all things, and by yoʋr will they came into existence and were created.”
