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)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet. I watched a star fall from heaven to earth. He was given the key to the opening 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)
He opened the entrance to the Abyss, and smoke came up out of the Abyss like the smoke of a huge furnace. The sun and the atmosphere became dark because of the smoke from the Abyss. (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.
Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and they were given power like that possessed by scorpions.
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.
They were told not to harm the grass or any vegetation or any trees, only those who did not have the seal of God on 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.
They were not allowed to kill, but they could torture these people for five months. The torture was like that of a scorpion when it stings someone.
6 Le ŋkeke mawo me la, amewo adi ku, gake womakpɔe o. Ku adzro wo vevie, gake ku asi abu ɖe wo.
During that time people will look for death, but won't find it; they will want to die, but death will run away 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.
The locusts looked like war-horses. They wore what seemed to be golden crowns on their heads, and their faces looked human.
8 Woƒe ɖa le abe nyɔnuwo ƒe ɖa ene, eye woƒe aɖuwo le abe dzatawo tɔ ene.
They had long hair like women and had teeth like 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.
Their breastplates looked like they were made of iron, and the noise made by their wings sounded like many horses and chariots racing into 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.
They had tails like scorpions, complete with stingers. They had the power to hurt people for five months with their tails.
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)
Ruling over them as their king was the angel of the Abyss who is called Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek. (Abyssos g12)
12 Vɔ̃ gbãtɔ nu va yi, eye vɔ̃ eve bubuwo le mɔ dzi gbɔna.
The first Disaster is over, but there are still two more to come.
13 Mawudɔla adelia ku eƒe kpẽ la. Tete mese gbe aɖe tso sikavɔsamlekpui si nɔ Mawu ŋkume la ƒe lãdzowo gbɔ.
The sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice come from the horns of the golden altar that stands in front of 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.”
speaking to the sixth angel that had the trumpet: “Release the four angels that are tied up beside 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.
The four angels who had been kept ready for this particular hour, day, month and year were released to kill one third of humanity.
16 Asrafo siwo do sɔ la ƒe xexlẽme anɔ miliɔn alafa eve. Nye ŋutɔ mekpɔ woƒe xexlẽme.
I was told the number of the army of soldiers on horseback: it was 200 million.
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.
In my vision I saw the horses and their riders who wore breastplates as red as fire, and dark blue and yellow. The heads of the horses looked like lions, and fire and smoke and sulfur streamed out of their mouths.
18 Dzo, dzudzɔ kple sulfakpe si do go tso sɔawo ƒe nu me la wu amegbetɔƒomea ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka.
One third of humanity was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and smoke and sulfur streaming 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.
The horses' power was in their tails as well as their mouths, for their tails were like serpents' heads that they used to hurt people.
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.
But the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of what they were doing. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, and stone—which can't see or hear or walk!
21 Nenema ke wometrɔ le woƒe amewuwu, afakaka, ahasiwɔwɔ alo fififi yome o.
They did not repent of their murders, their witchcraft, their sexual sins, or their thefts.
