< Adiyisɛm 7 >
1 Eyi akyi no, mihuu abɔfo baanan sɛ wogyinagyina asase ntwea anan no so a wɔretwe mframanan a ɛwɔ asase so no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mframa biara remmɔ wɔ asase ne po so ne baabiara.
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.
2 Na mihuu ɔbɔfo foforo a ofi apuei reba a okura Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no nsɔwano. Ɔteɛɛ mu frɛɛ abɔfo baanan no a na Onyankopɔn ama wɔn tumi sɛ wɔnsɛe asase ne po no.
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:
3 Ɔbɔfo no kae se, “Monnsɛe asase ne po anaa nnua kosi sɛ yɛde nsɔwano bɛhyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo no agyirae.”
“Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
4 Na wɔkyerɛɛ me wɔn a wɔde Onyankopɔn nsɔwano hyɛɛ wɔn agyirae wɔ wɔn moma so no dodow. Wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ mpem ɔha aduanan anan a, wɔn nyinaa fi Israel mmusuakuw no mu.
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel:
5 Yuda abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Ruben abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Gad abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien.
From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 Aser abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Naftali abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Manase abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien.
from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,

from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, and from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
9 Eyi akyi no, mihuu nnipakuw a obiara ntumi nkan wɔn dodow. Wofifi aman ne mmusuakuw ne nkurɔfo ne kasa nyinaa mu a wogyinagyina ahengua no ne Oguamma no anim a wɔhyehyɛ ntade fitafitaa, kurakura berɛw.
After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
10 Wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Yɛn nkwagye fi yɛn Nyankopɔn a ɔte ahengua no so ne Oguamma no.”
And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 Na abɔfo no atwa ahengua no ne mpanyimfo no ne ateasefo baanan no ho ahyia. Afei wobutubutuw ahengua no anim, som Onyankopɔn
And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,
12 kae se, “Amen! Nhyira ne anuonyam ne nyansa ne aseda ne nidi ne tumi ne ahoɔden yɛ Onyankopɔn de daa daa! Amen!” (aiōn )
saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn )
13 Mpanyimfo no mu baako bisaa me se, “Ɛhefo na wɔhyehyɛ ntade fitafitaa yi, na wofi he?”
Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”
14 Mibuae se, “Minnim, owura. Na wo na wunim.” Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Eyinom ne wɔn a wɔafi ɔtaa mu. Wɔde Oguamma no mogya ahoro wɔn ntade ama ayɛ fitaa.
“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Na ɛno nti na, “wogyinagyina Onyankopɔn ahengua anim a wɔresom awia ne anadwo wɔ ne hyiadan mu yi. Nea ɔbɛtena ahengua no so no bɛbɔ wɔn ho ban.
For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.
16 Osukɔm renne wɔn bio; ɔkɔm renne wɔn bio. Owia anaa ɔhyew biara renka wɔn bio.
‘Never again will they hunger, and never will they thirst; nor will the sun beat down upon them, nor any scorching heat.’
17 Efisɛ Oguamma no a ɔwɔ ahengua no mfimfini no bɛyɛ wɔn guanhwɛfo de wɔn akɔ nkwa asuti ho. Na Onyankopɔn bɛpepa wɔn aniwa mu nisu nyinaa.”
For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. ‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
