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 in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close 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 strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

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, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon.

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 wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon:

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 saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome, to open the book and the seven seals thereof.

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 of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.

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

And he came, and he taketh [it] out of the right hand of him that sat on 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 had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of 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, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood [men] 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 madest them [to be] unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon 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 a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, 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 hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, 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 every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all things that are in them, heard I saying, Unto him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb, [be] the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

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

And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.
