Adiyisɛm 8
1 Bere a Oguamma no tew nsɔwano a ɛto so ason no, ɔsoro nyinaa tɛm dinn bɛyɛ dɔnhwerew fa.
And when he opened the seventh seal, silence occurred in heaven, like half an hour.
2 Afei mihuu abɔfo baason a wogyinagyina Onyankopɔn anim. Wɔmemaa wɔn ntorobɛnto ason.
And I saw the seven agents who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Ɔbɔfo foforo a na ɔwɔ sikakɔkɔɔ aduhuam adaka begyinaa afɔremuka no ho. Wɔmaa no aduhuam bebree sɛ ɔmfa mmɔ mpae nka Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo no de ho, na ɔmmɔ sikakɔkɔɔ a esi ahengua no anim no so afɔre.
And another agent came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he would give with the prayers of all the sanctified upon the golden altar before the throne.
4 Aduhuam no hua ne Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo mpae fi abɔfo no nsam kɔɔ ɔsoro.
And the vapor of the incense, with the prayers of the sanctified, ascended before God out of the agent's hand.
5 Afei ɔbɔfo no faa aduhuam adaka no de ogya a efi afɔremuka no so hyɛɛ no ma, tow kyenee asase so. Na aprannaa ne nne ahorow ne anyinam ne asasewosow bae.
And the agent who took the censer, also filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it to the earth. And there occurred thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Na abɔfo baason a wokurakura ntorobɛnto ason no siesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔrebɛhyɛn.
And the seven agents who have the seven trumpets prepared themselves so that they might sound.
7 Ɔbɔfo a odi kan no hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Na mparuwbo ne ogya a ɛne mogya adi afra tɔ guu asase so. Asase nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako hyewee. Nnua nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako hyewee, na wura amono nyinaa nso hyewee.
And the first sounded, and there occurred hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so abien no hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Wɔtow biribi a ɛte sɛ bepɔw kɛse a ɛredɛw kyenee po mu. Po no nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako dan mogya.
And the second agent sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood,
9 Na abɔde a ɛwɔ nkwa a ɛwɔ po no mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako wuwui, na ahyɛn mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako bobɔe.
and the third part of the creatures in the sea (those having lives) died, and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
10 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so abiɛsa hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Nsoromma kɛse bi a ɛredɛw sɛ ogyatɛn tew fii ɔsoro bɛhwee nsu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako mu.
And the third agent sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven burning like a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the springs of the waters.
11 Nsoromma no din de “Anwɔnwen.” Nsu no nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako yɛɛ nwen, na nnipa a wɔnomee no mu bebree wuwui, efisɛ na ayɛ nwen.
And the name of the star is called Wormwood oil. And the third part of the waters developed into wormwood oil, and many of the men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so anan no hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Na wɔbɔɔ owia nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako, ne ɔsram nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako ne nsoromma nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako sen ma no duruu sum, enti adekyee mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako anhyerɛn, na anadwo nso saa ara.
And the fourth agent sounded, and the third part of the sun was struck, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them would be darkened. And the day did not shine the third part of it, and likewise the night.
13 Na merehwɛ no, metee sɛ ɔkɔre bi a watu nam wim teɛ mu se, “Wɔn a wɔte asase so no nnue; wonnue, wonnue esiane torobɛnto a aka a abɔfo baasa no rebɛhyɛn no nti.”
And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying in a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth from the remaining sounds of the trumpet of the three agents who are going to sound.
