< Adiyisɛm 11 >
1 Wɔmaa me susudua bi a ɛte sɛ pema, na wɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na susuw Onyankopɔn asɔredan no ne afɔremuka no na kan wɔn a wɔresom wɔ asɔredan no mu no.
And there was given me a reed like to a staff, a voice saying: Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein;
2 Nanso mfa asɔredan no adiwo nka ho, efisɛ wɔde hɔ ama amanamanmufo, na wobetiatia kurow kronkron no so asram aduanan abien.
but the court which is outside the temple, leave out, and measure it not, for it hath been given to the gentiles; and the holy city will they tread under foot forty-two months.
3 Mɛsoma me nnansefo baanu a wofurafura atweaatam, na wɔaka Onyankopɔn asɛm saa nna apem ahannu ne aduosia no mu.”
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 Saa nnansefo baanu no ne ngodua abien no ne akaneadua abien a esisi asase a ɛwɔ Awurade anim no so no.
These are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks, which stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 Ogya a efi wɔn anom bekunkum atamfo biara a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔhaw wɔn no. Ɛno nti wobekum obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhaw wɔn no.
And if any one designs to hurt them, fire goeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies; and if any one designs to hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 Wɔwɔ tumi sɛ wɔto ɔsoro mu a osu rentɔ wɔ bere a wɔrehyɛ nkɔm no. Wɔwɔ tumi sɛ wɔdan nsu ma ɛyɛ mogya na wɔde ɔhaw to asase so mpɛn dodow biara a wɔpɛ.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and have power over the waters, to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they will.
7 Na sɛ wɔka wɔn asɛm no wie a, aboa a obefi bun no mu apue no ne wɔn bɛko. Obedi wɔn so akunkum wɔn (Abyssos )
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos )
8 na wɔn amu no agu kurow kɛse no abɔnten so, wɔ faako a wɔbɔɔ wɔn Awurade nnadewa mu wɔ asennua no so a ɛhɔ din pa ne Sodom ne Misraim no.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified.
9 Na nnipa a wofi aman so ne mmusuakuw ne ɔkasa ahorow ne aman bi so bɛhwɛ wɔn afunu nnansa ne fa, na wɔremma kwan mma wonsie wɔn.
And some from among the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, will look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and will not suffer their dead bodies to be put into a tomb.
10 Asase so nnipa ani begye sɛ saa nnipa baanu no awuwu. Wobegye wɔn ani na wɔamema wɔn ho wɔn ho akyɛde, efisɛ saa adiyifo baanu no na wɔde ɔhaw bɛtoo asase sofo so.
And they that dwell upon the earth will rejoice over them, and make merry, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwelt on the earth.
11 Nnansa akyi no, honhom a efi Onyankopɔn bewura wɔn mu na wɔasɔre. Na ehu kɛse bɛka obiara a obehu.
And after three days and a half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
12 Afei nne a ano yɛ den fi ɔsoro bɛka se, “Mommra ɔsoro ha.” Na bere a wɔn atamfo rehwɛ wɔn no, wɔfaa omununkum mu kɔɔ ɔsoro.
And they heard a loud voice from heaven, saying to them, Come up hither; and they went up into heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 Saa bere koro no ara mu na asase wosow denneennen, kurow no nkyɛmu du mu baako sɛee, na nnipa mpem ason wuwuu wɔ asasewosow no mu. Nnipa a wɔaka no bɔɔ hu na wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no kɛseyɛ.
And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain seven thousand men; and the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 Ɔhaw a ɛto so abien no atwa, nanso hwɛ, ɛrenkyɛ na ɔhaw a ɛto so abiɛsa aba.
The second woe is past; behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so ason no hyɛn ne torobɛnto, na nne dennen fi ɔsoro kae se, “Tumi a wɔde di wiase so mprempren no yɛ yɛn Awurade ne ne Kristo no de, na obedi hene daa daa.” (aiōn )
And the seventh angel sounded, and there followed loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever. (aiōn )
16 Afei mpanyimfo aduonu anan a wɔtete wɔn ahengua so wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no de wɔn anim butubutuw fam, som Onyankopɔn,
And the twenty-four elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 kae se, “Yɛda wo ase, Otumfo Onyankopɔn, wo a wowɔ hɔ na wowɔ hɔ dedaw, wonam wo tumi kɛse so afi ase redi hene!
saying, We give thanks to thee, O Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, because thou hast taken thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 Aman bo fuwii, na wʼabufuwhyew no aba. Bere aso sɛ wobu awufo atɛn. Bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ wo nkoa, adiyifo ne wo nkurɔfo nyinaa a wosuro wo, akɛse ne nketewa no aba so no adu. Bere adu sɛ wosɛe wɔn a wɔsɛee asase no!”
And the nations were enraged, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy the destroyers of the earth.
19 Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no bue ma wohuu adaka a apam no wɔ mu no wɔ asɔredan no mu. Afei anyinam ne aprannaa paapaee, na asase wosowee na mparuwbo bebree nso tɔe.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple; and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
