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.
A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
2 Nanso mfa asɔredan no adiwo nka ho, efisɛ wɔde hɔ ama amanamanmufo, na wobetiatia kurow kronkron no so asram aduanan abien.
Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
3 Mɛsoma me nnansefo baanu a wofurafura atweaatam, na wɔaka Onyankopɔn asɛm saa nna apem ahannu ne aduosia no mu.”
I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred 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 lamp stands, standing 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.
If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
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 the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
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 g12)
When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
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.
Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord 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.
From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in 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.
Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
11 Nnansa akyi no, honhom a efi Onyankopɔn bewura wɔn mu na wɔasɔre. Na ehu kɛse bɛka obiara a obehu.
After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on 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.
I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw 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.
In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified 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 comes 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 g165)
The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!” (aiōn g165)
16 Afei mpanyimfo aduonu anan a wɔtete wɔn ahengua so wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no de wɔn anim butubutuw fam, som Onyankopɔn,
The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped 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 you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and 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!”
The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy 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.
God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
