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, and holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow over the earth or the sea or upon 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 coming from the east and carrying a seal belonging to the ever-living God. He called in a loud voice to the four angels whose work it was to injure 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.”
"Injure neither land nor sea nor trees," he said, "until we have sealed the bondservants of our God upon 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.
When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000.
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.
Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000; Of the tribe of Gad, 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 a vast host appeared which it was impossible for anyone to count, gathered out of every nation and from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and carrying palm-branches in their hands.
10 Wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Yɛn nkwagye fi yɛn Nyankopɔn a ɔte ahengua no so ne Oguamma no.”
In loud voices they were exclaiming, "It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!"
11 Na abɔfo no atwa ahengua no ne mpanyimfo no ne ateasefo baanan no ho ahyia. Afei wobutubutuw ahengua no anim, som Onyankopɔn
All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne and round the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped 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)
"Even so!" they cried: "The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honor and the power and the might are to be ascribed to our God, until the Ages of the Ages! Even so!" (aiōn g165)
13 Mpanyimfo no mu baako bisaa me se, “Ɛhefo na wɔhyehyɛ ntade fitafitaa yi, na wofi he?”
Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, "Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? 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.
"My lord, you know," I replied. "They are those," he said, "who have just passed through the great distress, and 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 stand before the very throne of God, and render Him service, day after day and night after night, in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne will shelter them in His tent.
16 Osukɔm renne wɔn bio; ɔkɔm renne wɔn bio. Owia anaa ɔhyew biara renka wɔn bio.
They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and never again will the sun or any scorching heat trouble them.
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 who is in front of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to watersprings of Life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."
