< Adiyisɛm 14 >
1 Afei mehwɛe, na mihuu sɛ Oguamma no gyina Sion bepɔw so. Na nnipa mpem ɔha aduanan anan ka ne ho a wɔakyerɛw ne din ne nʼAgya din wɔ wɔn moma so.
And I beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
2 Na metee nne bi fii ɔsoro a na ɛworo so te sɛ asuworoe a ano yɛ den, na ɛte sɛ aprannaa. Nne a metee no te sɛ dwom a sankubɔfo bi rebɔ wɔ ne sanku so.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many waters, and as the voice of great thunder; and the voice which I heard, was as the voice of harpers, harping on their harps.
3 Wɔtoo dwom foforo bi wɔ ahengua no ne ateasefo baanan no ne mpanyimfo no anim. Nnipa mpem ɔha aduanan anan a wɔagye wɔn afi asase so no nko ara na wotumi suae.
And they sung as it were a new canticle, before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the ancients; and no man could say the canticle, but those hundred forty-four thousand, who were purchased from the earth.
4 Wɔyɛ mmarima bi a wɔamfa mmea angu wɔn ho fi, na wɔyɛ mmabun. Baabiara a Oguamma no bɛkɔ no na wodi nʼakyi. Wɔagye wɔn nkwa afi nnipa mu na wɔne nnipa a wodi kan a wɔde wɔn ama Onyankopɔn ne Oguamma no.
These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb:
5 Wɔnka atosɛm, na mfomso nni wɔn ho.
And in their mouth there was found no lie; for they are without spot before the throne of God.
6 Afei mihuu ɔbɔfo foforo sɛ watu nam sorosoro a ɔrekɔka asɛmpa a entwa mu da no akyerɛ asase so nnipa a aman ne mmusuakuw ne ɔkasa ne nkurɔfo nyinaa ka ho. (aiōnios )
And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth, and over every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people: (aiōnios )
7 Ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Munsuro Onyankopɔn na monkamfo ne kɛseyɛ. Efisɛ bere no adu sɛ obu adesamma atɛn. Monsom nea ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro, asase, po ne asuti no!”
Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord, and give him honour, because the hour of his judgment is come; and adore ye him, that made heaven and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 Ɔbɔfo a ɔto so abien dii nea odi kan no akyi kae se. “Wahwe ase! Babilonia kɛse ahwe ase! Efisɛ wama amanaman nyinaa anom nʼaguamammɔ nsa no bi.”
And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 Ɔbɔfo a ɔto so abiɛsa a odi baanu a wodi kan no akyi no teɛɛ mu kae se, “Obiara a ɔsom aboa no ne ne sɛso honi a na ɔma wɔhyɛ ne nsa ho anaa ne moma so agyirae
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand;
10 no ankasa bɛnom Onyankopɔn nsa, nʼabufuw nsa a ɔde nʼahoɔden nyinaa ahwie agu nʼabufuw kuruwa mu no. Wɔbɛhyɛ wɔn a wɔbɛyɛ saa no nyinaa ahoyeraw wɔ ogya ne sufre mu wɔ abɔfo ne Oguamma no anim.
He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of the Lamb.
11 Na ogya no wusiw a ɛhyɛ wɔn ahoyeraw no kɔ soro daa daa. Awia ne anadwo, ahomegye nni hɔ ma wɔn a wɔsom aboa no ne ne sɛso honi ne obiara a wɔde ne din ahyɛ no agyirae no.” (aiōn )
And the smoke of their torments shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast, and his image, and whoever receiveth the character of his name. (aiōn )
12 Eyi nti na ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo ne wɔn a wodi Onyankopɔn mmara so, na wogye Yesu di no nya boasetɔ no.
Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 Afei metee nne bi fii ɔsoro a ɛkae se, “Kyerɛw eyi. Nhyira ne awufo a wowu wɔ Awurade mu fi mprempren rekɔ yi.” Honhom no se, “Yiw, wɔbɛhome afi wɔn brɛ no mu; na wɔn nnwuma di wɔn akyi.”
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow them.
14 Mihuu omununkum fitaa bi na obi a ɔte sɛ Onipa Ba a sikakɔkɔɔ ahenkyɛw hyɛ no na okura kantankrankyi nnamnam bi wɔ ne nsam.
And I saw, and behold a white cloud; and upon the cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 Afei ɔbɔfo foforo bi a ofii asɔredan no mu puei, na ɔteɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ nea ɔte omununkum no so no se, “Fa wo kantankrankyi no twa, efisɛ otwabere no adu, asase no asow aba a ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa!”
And another angel came out from the temple crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle, and reap, because the hour is come to reap: for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 Enti nea ɔte omununkum so no hwim ne kantankrankyi wɔ asase so ma etwaa asase so nnɔbae.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust his sickle into the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 Afei mihuu sɛ ɔbɔfo foforo bi a ofi ɔsoro asɔredan no mu apue a ɔno nso kura kantankrankyi nnamnam bi.
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 Ɔbɔfo foforo bi a ɔno nso hwɛ ogya no so no fi afɔremuka no mu puei. Ɔteɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfo a okura kantankrankyi nnamnam no se, “Fa wo kantankrankyi nnamnam no na boaboa asase so bobe akuwakuw no ano, efisɛ nʼaba no abere.”
And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth; because the grapes thereof are ripe.
19 Enti ɔbɔfo no hwim ne kantankrankyi no wɔ asase so de twitwaa bobe aba no na ɔde koguu Onyankopɔn abufuw nsakyiamoa kɛse no mu.
And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, and cast it into the great press of the wrath of God:
20 Wotiatiaa bobe no so wɔ nsakyiamoa a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mfikyiri, na mogya fii bobe no mu sen sɛ asubɔnten, akwansin ahannu na mu dɔ nso bɛyɛ anammɔn anum.
And the press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the press, up to the horses’ bridles, for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
