Adiyisɛm 16
1 Afei metee nne bi sɛ ɛrekasa fi asɔredan mu hɔ kyerɛ abɔfo no se, “Monkohwie Onyankopɔn abufuw ason a ɛwɔ nkuruwa ason no mu no ngu asase so.”
[In the vision] I heard [someone] in the temple speak in a loud voice to the angels [who had the seven bowls]. He said, “Go [from here] and pour out on the earth [the wine/liquid in] [MTY] the seven bowls. [This will show that] God is angry with [rebellious people and will punish them].”
2 Ɔbɔfo a odi kan no kohwiee ne kuruwa mu abufuw no guu asase so. Akuru a ɛyɛ hu na ɛyɛ yaw tutuu wɔn a wɔde aboa no ahyɛ wɔn ho agyirae no ne wɔn a wɔsom ne sɛso honi no nso.
So the first angel went and poured out on the earth [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], horrible and painful sores broke out on God’s enemies who had allowed the beast’s [agents] to mark them and who worshipped the image of the beast.
3 Ɔbɔfo a ɔto so abien no hwiee ne kuruwa mu abufuw guu po mu. Nsu no dan sɛ owufo mogya, na abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ po no mu no wui.
The second angel poured out on the ocean [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], the [water in the ocean stank like the blood] of a person who has died. [And] [MTY] every living creature that was in the ocean died.
4 Ɔbɔfo a ɔto so abiɛsa no hwiee ne kuruwa mu abufuw no guu nsubɔnten ne nsuwa mu maa ne nyinaa dan mogya.
The third angel poured out on the rivers and water springs [the wine/liquid] [MTY] [that was in] his bowl. [As a result, the water in the rivers and springs] turned into blood.
5 Metee sɛ ɔbɔfo a ɔhwɛ nsu so no reka se, “Wʼatɛn a wubu no yɛ atɛntrenee. Ɔkronkronni a wowɔ hɔ na wowɔ ha dedaw,
I heard the angel [who has authority over] the waters say [to God], “[O God], you exist and have always existed. You are the holy one. You judge people justly.
6 efisɛ wɔahwie mo ahotefo ne adiyifo mogya agu, woama wɔn mogya sɛ wɔnnom, sɛnea ɛfata wɔn.”
[The rebellious people] murdered your holy people and prophets. So you are just in punishing them by giving them blood to drink. This is what they deserve!”
7 Afei metee nne bi wɔ afɔremuka no so se, “Yiw, Awurade, Otumfo Nyankopɔn, atɛn a wubu nyinaa yɛ atɛntrenee!”
Then I heard [an angel] respond [from] the altar [PRS], “Yes, Lord God, you who are almighty, you punish [people] rightly and justly!”
8 Ɔbɔfo a ɔto so anan no hwiee ne kuruwa mu abufuw no guu owia so na wɔmaa no tumi sɛ ɔnhye nnipa.
Then the fourth angel poured out on the sun [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [He] enabled the sun to scorch [people] with fiery [heat].
9 Owia hyew no anoden maa nnipa domee Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ saa ɔhaw yi nyinaa so tumi no din. Nanso wɔansakra wɔn adwene anhyɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam.
Because people were severely burned by the intense heat {the intense heat severely burned people}, they said evil things about God [MTY], [because] he had the power [to strike people with] plagues like those. But they refused to stop their evil behavior and refused to honor him.
10 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so anum no hwiee ne kuruwa mu abufuw no guu aboa no ahengua no so. Sum duruu wɔ aboa no ahemman mu, na esiane ɔyaw nti, nnipa wee wɔn tɛkrɛma;
When the fifth angel poured out on the throne of the beast [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl, it became dark in the kingdom that the beast [ruled. As a result, the beast and the people whom it ruled] were biting their tongues because [they were suffering intense] pain.
11 na esiane saa ɔyaw no ne akuru a etutuu wɔn no nti, wɔdomee ɔsoro Nyankopɔn. Nanso wɔantwe wɔn ho amfi wɔn bɔne ho.
They insulted God [who rules in] heaven, because their sores were so painful. But they refused to stop doing the [evil] things that they were doing.
12 Ɔbɔfo a ɔto so asia no hwiee ne kuruwa mu abufuw no guu Asubɔnten Eufrate mu. Asu no yow dan ɔkwan maa ahemfo a wofi apuei no.
The sixth angel poured out on the huge river Euphrates [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, the] water [in the river] was dried up so that the rulers from the eastern [MTY] [countries could cross it with their armies] [SYN].
13 Afei mihuu ahonhommɔne abiɛsa bi a na wɔte sɛ mpɔtorɔ a na wofifi ɔwɔ no ne aboa no ne atoro diyifo no anom.
I saw evil spirits that looked like frogs. One came out of the mouth of the dragon, one from the mouth of the beast, and one from the mouth of the false prophet.
14 Wɔyɛ ahonhommɔne a wɔyɛ anwonwade. Saa ahonhom abiɛsa yi kɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa nkyɛn kɔka wɔn nyinaa boa ano ma Otumfo Nyankopɔn ɔko da kɛse no.
Those spirits were demons who were [able to] perform miracles. They went out to the rulers of the whole world, in order to gather their [armies] [SYN] together to the battle that [they will fight] on the wonderful day when Almighty God [punishes his enemies] [MTY].
15 “Muntie! Mereba te sɛ ɔkorɔmfo. Nhyira ne nea ɔwɛn na ɔhwɛ ne ntade so, sɛnea ɔrennantew adagyaw ngu ne ho anim ase wɔ bagua mu!”
The evil spirits will gather the rulers at a place that is called in the Hebrew [language] Armageddon. [I heard the Lord Jesus say], “[You must] listen carefully to [me]: I am coming unexpectedly [SIM], like a thief. [So], I will be happy with those who stay alert and [keep on living righteously so that they will not be ashamed], just like [MET] a person keeps his clothes [on] so that he will not be ashamed [like a person who is] naked.”
16 Ahonhom no boaa ahene no ano wɔ baabi a Hebri kasa mu no wɔfrɛ hɔ Armagedon.
17 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so ason no hwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuw guu mframa mu. Nne dennen bi fi ahengua a ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu no so kae se, “Wɔawie.”
The seventh angel poured out into the air [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, someone] said with a loud voice from the throne in the temple, “[The time for God to finish punishing rebellious people] is [about to be] start.”
18 Na anyinam twitwa maa aprannaa paapaee, na asasewosow dennen bi bae. Efii sɛ wɔbɔɔ onipa no, asasewosow biara mmaa saa da. Eyi ne asasewosow nyinaa mu nea ano yɛ den pa ara.
[When the angel emptied his bowl], lightning flashed, there were rumblings and thunder, and the earth shook. It shook more violently than it has ever shaken since people first [lived] on earth.
19 Kurow kɛse no mu paee abiɛsa, na aman nyinaa nkurow akɛse sɛesɛee. Onyankopɔn kaee Babilonia Kokuroko no, na ɔmaa no nsa nomee; nsa a ɛyɛ nʼabufuw a ano yɛ den no fi ne kuruwa ano.
And [as a result], the very evil city [that is symbolized by Babylon] split into three parts. [God also] destroyed cities in [other] nations. God did not forget that [the people of] [MTY] the very evil [city symbolized by] Babylon [had sinned very much]. So he [caused the people with whom] he was furiously angry [MET] [to drink] a cup of very [poisonous wine/liquid that represented his punishment].
20 Asupɔw ne mmepɔw nyinaa yerae.
Also [as a result of the earthquake], every island disappeared, and the mountains became flat land.
21 Mparuwbo akɛse a biara mu duru yɛ kilogram aduonum tɔ fii ɔsoro guu nnipa so. Na esiane mparuwbo no haw a na ɛyɛ hu no nti, nnipa domee Onyankopɔn.
Also [as a result of the angel’s emptying his bowl], huge hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, fell from the sky onto the people. Then people insulted God because [he had caused] the destructive hail to fall on them in that terrible plague.
