Adiyisɛm 9
1 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so anum no hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Mihuu nsoromma a atew fi ɔsoro abɛhwe asase so. Wɔmaa no ebun a ase nni awiei safe. (Abyssos g12)
The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
2 Nsoromma no buee bun no, na wusiw kumɔnn fii mu sɛ fononoo kɛse bi, na wusiw no maa owia hann ne mframa a ɛwɔ hɔ no yɛɛ tumm. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Mmoadabi fii wusiw no mu baa asase so, na wɔmaa wɔn tumi sɛ nkekantwɛre.
Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se wɔnnsɛe sare anaa nnua anaa afifide biara. Na mmom, nnipa a Onyankopɔn nsɔwano no bi nni wɔn moma so no de, wotumi haw wɔn.
They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God's seal on their foreheads.
5 Wɔamma saa mmoadabi no kwan se wonkunkum saa nnipa yi. Na mmom, wɔmaa wɔn kwan se wɔnhaw wɔn asram anum. Wɔka wɔn a, wɔn ano yaw no te sɛ akekantwɛre de.
They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.
6 Saa asram anum no mu no, saa nnipa no bɛhwehwɛ owu, nanso wɔrennya. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wowu, nanso owu beguan afi wɔn nkyɛn.
In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 Mmoadabi no te sɛ apɔnkɔ a wɔasiesie wɔn ama ɔko. Wɔwɔ biribi te sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ahenkyɛw hyehyɛ wɔn ti. Na wɔn anim te sɛ nnipa anim.
The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.
8 Wɔn ti nwi te sɛ mmea ti nwi, na wɔn se nso te sɛ gyata se.
They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9 Wɔde biribi te sɛ dade nkatabo akatakata wɔn bo. Na nnyigyei a wɔn ntaban yɛ no te sɛ apɔnkɔ bebree a wɔretwe nteaseɛnam akɔ ɔko.
They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.
10 Bɔre wɔwɔ wɔn dua ano te sɛ akekantwɛre de. Na wɔn dua no nti na na wɔwɔ tumi a wɔde haw nnipa asram anum no.
They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.
11 Wɔwɔ ɔhene a odi wɔn so, a ɔno ne ɔbɔfo a ɔhwɛ bun no so. Ne din wɔ Hebri kasa mu de “Abadon” na Hela kasa mu nso, ɛde “Apolion” (a ɛkyerɛ Ɔsɛefo). (Abyssos g12)
They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon." (Abyssos g12)
12 Ɔhaw baako atwa mu. Eyi akyi, ɔhaw abien bi bɛba.
The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.
13 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔto so asia no hyɛn ne torobɛnto. Metee nne bi fii sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka a esi Onyankopɔn anim no ntwea so nyinaa.
The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Nne no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfo a ɔto so asia a okura torobɛnto no se, “Sansan abɔfo baanan a wɔasesa wɔn wɔ, Asubɔnten Eufrate ho no.”
saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
15 Wɔsansan abɔfo baanan no. Wɔasiesie wɔn ama saa dɔnhwerew yi, saa da yi, saa ɔsram yi ne saa afe yi sɛ wonkunkum adesamma mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako.
The four angels were freed who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of humanity.
16 Wodii asraafo ɔpepem ahannu anim. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn dodow no ho amanneɛ ma metee.
The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
17 Na mʼanisoadehu no mu no, mihuu apɔnkɔ no ne wɔn akafo. Na wɔn nkatabo no yɛ kɔɔ sɛ ogya, tumm, ne akokɔsrade sɛ sufre. Na ɔpɔnkɔ no ti te sɛ gyata ti na na ogya wusiw ne sufre fi wɔn anom.
Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Saa ɔhaw ahorow abiɛsa no a ɛyɛ ogya, wusiw ne sufre no a efi apɔnkɔ no anom bae no kum adesamma nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako.
By these three plagues were one third of humanity killed: from the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 Efisɛ na apɔnkɔ no tumi nyinaa fi wɔn anom ne wɔn dua. Wɔn dua te sɛ awɔ a wɔwɔ ti a ɛno na na wɔde pira nnipa.
For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.
20 Adesamma a wɔkae no a ɔhaw no ankum wɔn no ansakra wɔn adwene amfi wɔn nsa ano nnwuma ho. Wɔannyae ahonhommɔne ne ahoni ne sika ne dwetɛ ne asanka ne abo ne nnua a enhu ade na ɛnte asɛm na entumi nnantew no som.
The rest of humanity, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 Saa ara nso na wɔansakra wɔn adwene amfi wɔn awudi ne wɔn aduto ne wɔn aguamammɔ ne wɔn akorɔmmɔ ho.
They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
