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 this I looked, and behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard, [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be 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, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat 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.

And he that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow around the throne in sight 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.

And around the throne [were] four and twenty seats; and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads 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 out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. And [there were] seven lamps of fire 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 before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like crystal: And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, [were] four living beings 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 being [was] like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being [was] like a flying eagle.

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 beings had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and 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 beings give glory, and honor, and thanks to him that sat 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 elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship 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, to receive glory, and honor, and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
