Nyaɖeɖefia 7
1 Le esia megbe la, mekpɔ mawudɔla ene wole tsitre ɖe anyigba ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi, eye wona be ya eneawo magaƒo ato anyigba, atsiaƒu alo ati aɖeke dzi o.
And after this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow upon the earth, nor the sea, nor upon any tree.
2 Tete mekpɔ mawudɔla bubu tso ɣedzeƒe gbɔna, eye wòlé Mawu gbagbe la ƒe nutrenu ɖe asi. Eyɔ mawudɔla ene, ame siwo wona ŋusẽe be woawɔ nu vevi anyigba kple atsiaƒu la kple gbe sesẽ be,
And I saw another angel coming up from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given unto them to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 “Mègawɔ nu vevi aɖeke anyigba, atsiaƒu loo alo atiwo o, va se ɖe esime míatsɔ nutrenu aɖo ŋgonu na míaƒe Mawu la ƒe dɔlawo.”
saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we may seal the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 Emegbe la, mekpɔ ame siwo wotsɔ nutrenu ɖo ŋgonu na la ƒe xexlẽme. Wole ame akpe alafa ɖeka blaene-vɔ-ene eye wo katã wotso Israel ƒe toawo me.
And I heard the number of the sealed ones: a hundred and forty-four thousand were sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel?
5 Wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Yuda ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Ruben ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Gad ƒe to la me,
Out of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;
6 wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Aser ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Naftali ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Manase ƒe to la me,
of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Napthali, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand;
7 wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Simeon ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Levi ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Isaka ƒe to la me,
of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand;
8 wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Zebulon ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Yosef ƒe to la me, wode dzesi ame akpe wuieve tso Benyamin ƒe to la me.
of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 Le esia megbe la, mekpɔ ameha gã aɖe si womate ŋu axlẽ o la le nye ŋkume. Wotso dukɔ sia dukɔ, to sia to, ƒome ɖe sia ɖe kple gbegbɔgblɔ ɖe sia ɖe me. Wole tsitre ɖe fiazikpui la ŋgɔ le Alẽvi la ŋkume. Wodo awu ʋlaya ɣiwo, eye wolé deʋayawo ɖe asi.
After these things I saw, and behold a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of every nation, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 Wole ɣli dom kple gbe sesẽ be, “Xɔname nye míaƒe Mawu la tɔ, ame si nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi, kple Alẽvi la tɔ.”
and they are crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, the one sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.
11 Mawudɔlawo katã nɔ tsitre ƒo xlã fiazikpui la, amegãxoxoawo kple nu gbagbe eneawo. Wotsyɔ mo anyi ɖe fiazikpui la ŋgɔ, eye wosubɔ Mawu,
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and fell down before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God,
12 le gbɔgblɔm be, “Amen! Kafukafu kple ŋutikɔkɔe kple nunya kple akpedada kple bubu kple ŋusẽ kple ŋutete nanye míaƒe Mawu la tɔ tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen!” (aiōn g165)
saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, to our God unto the ages of the ages: Amen. (aiōn g165)
13 Tete amegãxoxoawo dometɔ ɖeka biam be, “Ame kawoe nye ame siawo le awu ʋlaya ɣiwo me, eye afi ka wotso?”
And one of the elders responded, to me saying, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and whence came they?
14 Meɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, wòe nyae.” Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Woawoe nye ame siwo do go tso xaxa gã la me. Wonya woƒe awu ʋlayawo, eye wowɔ wo ɣie to Alẽvi la ƒe ʋu me.
And I said unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me; These are those coming up out of great tribulation, who have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Eya ta, “wole Mawu ƒe fiazikpui la ŋgɔ ɖo, eye wosubɔnɛ le eƒe gbedoxɔ me zã kple keli, eye ame si nɔ fiazikpui la dzi la akeke eƒe agbadɔ ɖe wo dzi.
On account of this they are before the throne of God, and they worship him day and night in his temple, and the one sitting upon the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 ‘Dɔ magawu wo akpɔ gbeɖe o. Tsikɔ hã magawu wo akpɔ gbeɖe o. Ɣe magaɖu wo o.’ Alo ŋdɔkutsu nagaɖu wo o,
And they will never hunger or thirst any more; neither will the sun, or any heat, fall on them:
17 elabena Alẽvi si le fiazikpui la titina la anye woƒe kplɔla. ‘Akplɔ wo ayi agbetsi dzidziwo gbɔe,’ ‘eye Mawu ŋutɔ atutu aɖatsi ɖe sia ɖe le woƒe ŋkume.’”
because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will shepherdize them, and guide them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe every tear out of their eyes.
