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 on the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth, so that no wind should blow over the earth, or over the sea, or against 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, in the east, I saw another angel, ascending, holding the seal of the living God; and he cried in a loud voice to the four angels, to whom there had been given power to harm the earth 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 earth, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.’
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.
I heard, too, the number of those who had been sealed. It was one hundred and forty-four thousand; and they were from every tribe of the Israelites.
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 twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
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 twelve thousand, from the tribe of Napthali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 Simeon abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Lewi abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Isakar abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien.
from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 Sebulon abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Yosef abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien. Benyamin abusuakuw mu nnipa a wɔsɔw wɔn ano si mpem dumien.
from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
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, in my vision, I saw a vast throng which no one could number, of people from every nation and of all tribes, and peoples, and languages. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, robed in white, 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 are crying in a loud voice – ‘Salvation be ascribed to our God who is seated on his 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 were standing around the throne and the elders and the four creatures, and they prostrated themselves on their faces in front of 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 g165)
saying – ‘Amen. Blessing and praise, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.’ (aiōn g165)
13 Mpanyimfo no mu baako bisaa me se, “Ɛhefo na wɔhyehyɛ ntade fitafitaa yi, na wofi he?”
Then one of the elders turned to me and said ‘Who are these who are robed in white? And where did 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.
‘My Lord,’ I answered, ‘it is you who know.’ ‘These,’ he said, ‘are they who come through the Great Persecution; they washed their robes 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.
And therefore it is that they are before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his Temple; and he who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
16 Osukɔm renne wɔn bio; ɔkɔm renne wɔn bio. Owia anaa ɔhyew biara renka wɔn bio.
Never again will they be hungry, never again will they be thirsty, nor will the sun smite 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 that stands in the space before the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to life-giving springs of water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.’
