Nyaɖeɖefia 9
1 Mawudɔla atɔ̃lia ku eƒe kpẽ la, eye mekpɔ ɣletivi si ge tso dziƒo va dze anyigba dzi la. Wotsɔ ʋe globo la ƒe safui na ɣletivi sia. (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss; (Abyssos g12)
2 Esi wòʋu nu le ʋe globo la nu la, dzudzɔ do tso eme abe abolokpo gã aɖe mee dzudzɔ le dodom le ene. Dzudzɔ gã la na be ɣe kple dziŋgɔli do viviti. (Abyssos g12)
and he opened the pit of the abyss; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Ʋetsuviwo ƒe ha gã aɖe do go tso dzudzɔ la me va anyigba dzi, eye wòna ŋusẽ wo be woawɔ nu abe ahɔ̃ siwo le anyigba dzi la ene.
And out of the smoke there came locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 Wode se na wo be womegagblẽ gbe siwo le anyigba dzi, numiemie loo alo atiwo o, ke boŋ woagblẽ ame siwo Mawu ƒe nutrenu mele ŋgonu na o la.
And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 Womena ŋusẽ wo be woawu wo o, ke boŋ be woawɔ funyafunya wo dzinu atɔ̃. Ale fukpekpe si me woto la nɔ abe ale si ame si ahɔ̃ te la sea vevee ene.
And they were permitted, not to kill them, but to torment them five months; and the torment inflicted by them was like the torment inflicted by a scorpion, when he stings a man.
6 Le ŋkeke mawo me la, amewo adi ku, gake womakpɔe o. Ku adzro wo vevie, gake ku asi abu ɖe wo.
And in those days men will seek for death, and shall not find it; and they will desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 Ʋetsuviawo ƒe dzedzeme le abe sɔ siwo bla akpa hena aʋayiyi ene. Woɖɔ nane ɖe ta si le abe sikafiakuku ene, eye woƒe mowo ɖi amegbetɔwo tɔ.
And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads were, as it were, crowns of gold; and their faces were like the faces of men.
8 Woƒe ɖa le abe nyɔnuwo ƒe ɖa ene, eye woƒe aɖuwo le abe dzatawo tɔ ene.
And they had hair like the hair of women; and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 Wodo akɔtakpoxɔnu siwo le abe gayibɔkɔtakpoxɔnuwo ene, eye woƒe aʋalawo ƒe hoowɔwɔ le abe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo ƒe hoowɔwɔ ne wolũ ɖe aʋa me la ene.
And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 Asiketiwo kple tiwo le wo si abe ahɔ̃wo tɔ ene, eye ŋusẽ le woƒe asiketiwo me be woawɔ funyafunya amewo hena ɣleti atɔ̃.
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and they had power to hurt men five months.
11 Woƒe fiae nye mawudɔla si le ʋe globo la dzi kpɔm, ame si ƒe ŋkɔe nye Abadon le Hebrigbe me kple Apolion le Grikgbe me (si gɔmee nye Nugblẽla). (Abyssos g12)
And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss: his name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon, and, in Greek, he has the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Vɔ̃ gbãtɔ nu va yi, eye vɔ̃ eve bubuwo le mɔ dzi gbɔna.
The first woe is past: behold, there are coming, after this, two woes more.
13 Mawudɔla adelia ku eƒe kpẽ la. Tete mese gbe aɖe tso sikavɔsamlekpui si nɔ Mawu ŋkume la ƒe lãdzowo gbɔ.
And the sixth angel sounded: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God,
14 Gbe la gblɔ na mawudɔla adelia si lé kpẽ la ɖe asi la be, “Ɖe ga mawudɔla ene siwo wobla da ɖe Frat tɔsisi gã la to la.”
saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 Ale woɖe ga mawudɔla ene siwo wodzra ɖo ɖi na gaƒoƒo vevi, ŋkeke vevi, dzinu vevi kple ƒe vevi sia be woayi aɖawu amegbetɔƒomea ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka.
And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men.
16 Asrafo siwo do sɔ la ƒe xexlẽme anɔ miliɔn alafa eve. Nye ŋutɔ mekpɔ woƒe xexlẽme.
And the number of the armies of horsemen was two myriads of myriads: I heard the number of them.
17 Sɔ kple sɔdola siwo mekpɔ le nye ŋutega me la ƒe dzedzeme nɔ ale: Woƒe akɔtakpoxɔnu biã hẽe abe dzo ene; ɖewo nye blɔ, eye ɖewo hã ɖi aŋuti ɖiɖi abe sulfakpe ene. Sɔawo ƒe tawo ɖi dzatawo ƒe ta, eye dzudzɔ kple sulfakpe do tso woƒe nuwo me.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them; they had breastplates, fiery, and hyacinthine, and sulphurous: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 Dzo, dzudzɔ kple sulfakpe si do go tso sɔawo ƒe nu me la wu amegbetɔƒomea ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka.
By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and the smoke, and the brimstone that issued out of their mouths.
19 Sɔawo ƒe ŋusẽ le woƒe nuwo kple asiketiwo me, elabena woƒe asiketiwo le abe dawo ene, eye ta li na asiketiawo, esiwo wotsɔna dea abi amewo ŋui.
For their power was in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails were like serpents, and had heads, and with them they do injury.
20 Amegbetɔƒomea si susɔ, ame siwo dɔvɔ̃ siawo mewu o la gbe tɔtrɔ le woƒe asiwo ƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ me. Wogbe be yewomaɖe asi le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo subɔsubɔ, sika, klosalo, akɔbli, kpe kple ati legba siwo metea ŋu kpɔa nu, sea nu loo alo zɔna o la subɔsubɔ ŋuti o.
And the rest of men that were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they might not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 Nenema ke wometrɔ le woƒe amewuwu, afakaka, ahasiwɔwɔ alo fififi yome o.
and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their lewdness, nor of their thefts.
