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 these things 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 on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on 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 ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given 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, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed 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 them who were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children 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,

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 this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with 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 cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon 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 around the throne, and about the elders and the four living beings, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped 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 honour, and power, and might, be to our God for ever and ever. 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 answered, saying to me, Who are these that are arrayed in white robes? and where did they come from?
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 to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who came out of the great tribulation, and 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.
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 ‘Dɔ magawu wo akpɔ gbeɖe o. Tsikɔ hã magawu wo akpɔ gbeɖe o. Ɣe magaɖu wo o.’ Alo ŋdɔkutsu nagaɖu wo o,
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any 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.’”
For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
