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!”
I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come."
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 looked, and suddenly there was a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Alẽvi la ɖe nutrenu evelia ɖa, eye wòʋu agbalẽ evelia hã. Mese nu gbagbe evelia wògblɔ be, “Va!”
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come."
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.
Another came forth, a fiery red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to 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.
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come." And I saw, and suddenly there was a black horse and he who sat on it had a balance 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!”
I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius. Do not damage the oil and the wine."
7 Esi Alẽvi la ɖe nutrenu enelia ɖa la, mese nu gbagbe enelia wògblɔ be, “Va!”
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come."
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 suddenly there was a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hell followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him. (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.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of people who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they had.
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?”
They called out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who 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.
A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a little longer, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
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,
I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole 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.
The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great 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.
The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. 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.
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves 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,
They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits 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 their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
