Nyaɖeɖefia 6
1 Mekpɔ Alẽvi la wòʋu nutrenu adreawo ƒe gbãtɔ. Emegbe la, mese nu gbagbe eneawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ kple gbe si le abe dziɖegbe ene la be, “Va!”
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 Mekpɔ sɔ ɣi aɖe le ŋgɔnye! Sɔdola la lé dati ɖe asi, eye wotsɔ fiakuku nɛ, eye wòdo sɔ la do go dzo abe kalẽtɔ si ɖoe kplikpaa be yeaɖu dzi la ene.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Alẽvi la ɖe nutrenu evelia ɖa, eye wòʋu agbalẽ evelia hã. Mese nu gbagbe evelia wògblɔ be, “Va!”
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 Tete sɔ bubu do go va; ebiã, eye adã le mo nɛ. Wona ŋusẽ edola be wòaɖe ŋutifafa ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye wòana amewo nawu wo nɔewo. Ale wotsɔ yi gã aɖe de asi nɛ.
And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 Esi Alẽvi la ɖe nutrenu etɔ̃lia ɖa la, mese nu gbagbe etɔ̃lia wògblɔ be, “Va!” Eye mekpɔ sɔ yibɔ aɖe. Edola lé nudanu ɖe asi.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 Mese nane si ɖi ame ƒe gbe le nu gbagbe eneawo dome la le gbɔgblɔm be, “Bli agba ɖeka axɔ apaɖila ƒe ŋkeke ɖeka ƒe fetu, eye lu agba etɔ̃ anye apaɖila ƒe ŋkeke ɖeka ƒe fetu. Mikpɔ egbɔ be miegblẽ ami kple wain dome o!”
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 Esi Alẽvi la ɖe nutrenu enelia ɖa la, mese nu gbagbe enelia wògblɔ be, “Va!”
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 Mekpɔ sɔ si ɖi ku ŋutɔ la le ŋkunyeme! Edola ŋkɔe nye Ku, eye Tsiẽƒe le eyome kplikplikpli. Wona ŋusẽ wo ɖe anyigba ƒe mama enelia ƒe ɖeka dzi, be woawu amewo kple yi, dɔwuame kple dɔvɔ̃ kpakple lã wɔadã siwo le anyigba dzi la. (Hadēs g86)
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Esi Alẽvi la ɖe nutrenu atɔ̃lia ɖa la, mekpɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe. Le vɔsamlekpui la te la, mekpɔ ame siwo katã wowu ɖe Mawu ƒe Nya la gbɔgblɔ kple ɖaseɖiɖi anukwaretɔe ta la ƒe luʋɔwo.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 Wodo ɣli kple gbe sesẽ be, “Aƒetɔ Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, kɔkɔetɔ kple dzɔdzɔetɔ, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigbadzitɔwo, eye nàbia hlɔ̃ ɖe míaƒe ʋu ta?”
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 Tete wotsɔ awu ʋlaya ɣi na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, eye wogblɔ na wo bena woalala vie va se ɖe esime woƒe hadɔlawo kple wo nɔvi siwo wole wuwu ge abe woawo ke ene la hã ƒe xexlẽme nu nade.
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
12 Mekpɔ Alẽvi la wòɖe nutrenu adelia ɖa. Enumake anyigba ʋuʋu sesĩe. Ɣe ƒe keklẽ trɔ zu yibɔɔ abe avɔ si wolɔ̃ kple gbɔ̃fu yibɔ la ene. Nenema ke ɣleti hã biã dzẽe abe ʋu ene,
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 eye ɣletivi siwo le dziƒo la ge va dze anyigba abe ale si gbotsetse siwo tsi megbe la dudunae ne ya sesẽ aɖe ʋuʋu ati la ene.
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 Dziŋgɔli gbugbɔ yi megbe abe lãgbalẽ si woŋlɔ ene, eye to ɖe sia ɖe kple ƒukpo ɖe sia ɖe te ɖa le wo nɔƒe.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 Tete anyigbadzifiawo, bubumewo, aʋafiawo, hotsuitɔwo, kalẽtɔwo kple kluvi ɖe sia ɖe kple ablɔɖevi ɖe sia ɖe yi ɖaɣla wo ɖokuiwo ɖe agadowo me kple agakpewo dome.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 Wogblɔ na towo kple agakpewo be, “Mimu dze mía dzi ne miaɣla mí ɖa tso ame si nɔ fiazikpui la dzi la ƒe ŋkume kple Alẽvi la ƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ la gbɔ,
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 elabena woƒe dɔmedzoeŋkeke gã la ɖo vɔ. Ame kae ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe enu?”
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
