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 *ko*) After (this thing *N(K)O*) I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth holding the four winds of the earth so that no may blow wind on the earth nor on the sea nor on (all *NK(o)*) 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 (is ascending *N(k)O*) from [the] rising of [the] sun having [the] seal of God [the] living. And he cried in a voice loud to the four angels to whom it had been given to them to harm 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; Not may harm the earth nor the sea nor the trees until (when *k*) (we may have sealed *N(k)O*) the servants of the God of us on the foreheads of them.
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 those sealed; (one hundred *N(K)O*) (and *o*) (forty *N(K)O*) (four *N(k)O*) thousand (sealed *NK(o)*) out of every tribe of [the] sons of Israel:

Out of [the] tribe of Judah (twelve *N(k)O*) thousand (sealed; *NK(o)*) out of [the] tribe of Reuben (twelve *N(k)O*) thousand (sealed; *k*) out of [the] tribe of Gad (twelve *N(k)O*) thousand (sealed; *k*)

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.
out of [the] tribe of Zebulun (twelve *N(k)O*) thousand (sealed; *k*) out of [the] tribe of Joseph (twelve *N(k)O*) thousand (sealed; *k*) out of [the] tribe of Benjamin (twelve *N(k)O*) thousand (sealed. *NK(o)*)
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 looked and behold a multitude great which to number it no [one] was able out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues (standing *NK(o)*) before the throne and before the Lamb, (having clothed themselves with *N(k)O*) robes white and (palm branches *NK(o)*) in the hands of them.
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 were crying out *N(k)O*) in a voice loud saying: Salvation (to the God *N(k)O*) of us to the [One] sitting on (the throne *N(k)O*) 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 had stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures and they fell before the throne upon the (faces *N(K)O*) of them 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 the God of us to 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 answered one of the elders saying to me; These ones having clothed themselves with the robes white, who are they and from where have they come?
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 have said *NK(o)*) to him; lord (of mine, *NO*) you yourself know. And he said to me; These are the [ones] coming out of the tribulation great and they have washed the robes of them and made white (robes *k*) (for them *N(k)O*) 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.
Because of this They are before (the throne *NK(o)*) of God and serve Him by day and night in the temple of Him, and the [One] sitting on the throne will 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,
Not they will hunger any more neither will they thirst anymore nor (not *o*) no may fall upon them the sun nor any scorching heat,
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 center of the throne (will shepherd *NK(o)*) them and (He will lead *NK(o)*) them to (of life *N(k)O*) fountains of waters, and will wipe away God every tear (from *N(k)O*) the eyes of them.’
