Nyaɖeɖefia 5

1 Tete mekpɔ agbalẽ aɖe le ame si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi la ƒe nuɖusime. Woŋlɔ nu ɖe agbalẽ la me kple egodo siaa, eye wotree kple nutrenu adre.

And I saw upon the right hand of the one sitting upon the throne a book having been written within and without, having been sealed with seven seals.

2 Eye mekpɔ mawudɔla dzɔatsu aɖe le gbeƒã ɖem kple gbe sesẽ aɖe le gbɔgblɔm be, “Ame kae dze aɖe nutrenuawo ɖa alo aʋu agbalẽ la?”

And I saw a mighty angel crying with a great voice, Who is able to open the book, and to loose its seals?

3 Gake ame aɖeke mele dziƒo, anyigba dzi loo alo anyigba te si ate ŋu aʋu agbalẽ la alo akpɔ eme o.

And no one in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor beneath the earth, was able to open the book, and to look into it.

4 Mefa avi vevie, elabena ame aɖeke meli si ŋu wokpɔ ŋudzedze le si dze be wòaʋu agbalẽ la alo akpɔ eme o.

And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it.

5 Tete amegãxoxoawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ nam be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mègafa avi o, elabena Yuda ƒe to la ƒe Dzata si tso David ƒe ke me la ɖu dzi. Eyae ate ŋu aʋu agbalẽ la, eye wòaɖe nutrenu adreawo ɖa.”

And one of the elders says to me; Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered to open the book, and the seven seals.

6 Eye mekpɔ Alẽvi aɖe, wòdze abe ɖe wowui ene, eye wònɔ tsitre ɖe fiazikpui la titina. Nu gbagbe eneawo kple amegãxoxoawo ƒo xlãe. Dzo adre kple ŋku adre nɔ esi, esiwo nye Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ adreawo, esiwo wodɔ ɖo ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.

And I saw, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, the Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God having been sent into all the earth.

7 Eyae va xɔ agbalẽ la le ame si nɔ fiazikpui la dzi la ƒe nuɖusime.

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of the one sitting upon the throne.

8 Esi wòxɔ agbalẽa la, nu gbagbe eneawo kple amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-eneawo dze klo tsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Alẽvi la ŋgɔ. Kasaŋku nɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe si, eye sikagba si yɔ fũu kple dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonu siwo nye ame kɔkɔeawo ƒe gbedodoɖa la hã nɔ woƒe asi me.

And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 Wodzi ha yeye be, “Wòe dze be nàʋu agbalẽ la, eye nàɖe nutrenu adreawo ɖa, elabena wowu wò kpɔ, eye nètsɔ wò ʋu ƒle amewoe na Mawu. Tso to sia to, gbegbɔgblɔ sia gbegbɔgblɔ, Nuto ɖe sia ɖe kple dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe me,

And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to receive the book, and to open its seals: because thou wast slain, and didst with thy blood redeem unto God out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 Èwɔ wo be woanye fiaɖuƒewo kple nunɔlawo ne woasubɔ míaƒe Mawu la, eye woaɖu fia le anyigba dzi.”

and didst make them a kingdom and priests unto our God: and they shall reign on the earth.

11 Tete mekpɔ, eye mese mawudɔla gbogbo aɖewo ƒe gbe siwo ƒe xexlẽme anye akpeakpewo kple akpe ewo teƒe akpe ewo. Woɖe to ƒo xlã fiazikpui la, nu gbagbe eneawo kple amegãxoxoawo.

And I saw, and I heard as it were a voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders: and their number was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands;

12 Wole ha dzim kple gbe sesẽ be, “Alẽvi si wowu la, eyae dze, be wòaxɔ ŋusẽ, kesinɔnu, nunya kple ŋutete, kple bubu, ŋutikɔkɔe kple kafukafu.”

saying with a great voice; Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

13 Esia megbe la, mese nu gbagbe siwo katã le dziƒo, anyigba dzi, anyigba te, atsiaƒu me kpe ɖe nu siwo katã nɔ wo me la ŋuti nɔ ha dzim be, “Alẽvi si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi la tɔe nye kafukafu, bubu, ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ, (aiōn g165)

And I heard all creation, which is in the heaven, and upon the earth, and beneath the earth, and in the sea, and all things which are in them, indeed saying, to the one sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honor, and glory, and dominion, unto the ages of the ages. (aiōn g165)

14 Nu gbagbe eneawo gblɔ be, “Amen.” Tete amegãxoxo blaeve-vɔ-eneawo tsyɔ mo anyi, eye wosubɔe.

And the four living creatures continued to say, Amen. And the elders fell and worshiped.
