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)
Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet. I saw a star from heaven that had fallen to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. (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 smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and the air turned dark by the smoke pouring out of the shaft. (Abyssos g12)
3 Mmoadabi fii wusiw no mu baa asase so, na wɔmaa wɔn tumi sɛ nkekantwɛre.
Out of the smoke locusts came on the earth, and they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth.
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 not to damage the grass on the earth or any green plant or tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God 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 not given permission to kill those people, but only to torture them for five months. Their agony would be like the sting 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, but will not find it. They will greatly desire to die, but 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 locusts looked like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human 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 lions' teeth.
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 iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the sound made by many chariots and horses running into battle.
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 had tails with stingers like scorpions; in their tails they had 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 had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew was Abaddon, and in Greek he had the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Ɔhaw baako atwa mu. Eyi akyi, ɔhaw abien bi bɛba.
The first woe is past. Look! After this there are still two disasters to come.
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 his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is present 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.”
The voice said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River.”
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 who had been prepared for that hour, that day, that month, and that year, were released to kill a third of mankind.
16 Wodii asraafo ɔpepem ahannu anim. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn dodow no ho amanneɛ ma metee.
The number of the soldiers on horseback was 200,000,000. I heard their number.
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.
This is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode on them: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue and sulfurous yellow. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came 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.
A third of the people were killed by these three plagues: the fire, smoke, and sulfur that came 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 was in their mouths and in their tails—for their tails were like snakes, and they had heads with which they inflicted wounds on people.
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 mankind, those who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the deeds they had done, nor did they stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—things that cannot see, hear, or walk.
21 Saa ara nso na wɔansakra wɔn adwene amfi wɔn awudi ne wɔn aduto ne wɔn aguamammɔ ne wɔn akorɔmmɔ ho.
Neither did they repent of their murders, their sorcery, their sexual immorality or their acts of theft.
