< Adiyisɛm 11 >
1 Wɔmaa me susudua bi a ɛte sɛ poma, na wɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Sɔre na susu Onyankopɔn asɔredan no ne afɔrebukyia no na kan wɔn a wɔresom wɔ asɔredan no mu no.
A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise and measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
2 Nanso, mfa asɔredan no adihɔ nka ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde hɔ ama amanamanmufoɔ, na wɔbɛtiatia kuro kronkron no so abosome aduanan mmienu.
Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
3 Mɛsoma mʼadansefoɔ baanu a wɔfirafira ayitoma, na wɔaka Onyankopɔn asɛm saa nna apem ahanu ne aduosia no mu.”
I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
4 Saa adansefoɔ baanu no ne ngo dua mmienu no ne nkaneadua mmienu a ɛsi asase a ɛwɔ Awurade anim no so no.
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
5 Egya firi wɔn anom bɛkunkum atamfoɔ biara a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔha wɔn no. Ɛno enti, obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔha wɔn no, wɔbɛkum no.
If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
6 Wɔwɔ tumi sɛ ɛberɛ a wɔreka Onyankopɔn asɛm no, wɔto soro mu, a osuo rentɔ. Wɔwɔ tumi sɛ wɔde ɔhaw bɛto asase so mpɛn dodoɔ biara a wɔpɛ.
These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
7 Na sɛ wɔka wɔn asɛm no wie a, aboa a ɔbɛfiri bunu no mu apue no ne wɔn bɛko. Ɔbɛdi wɔn so akum wɔn (Abyssos )
When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos )
8 na wɔn amu no agu kuro kɛseɛ no abɔntene so, wɔ baabi a wɔbɔɔ wɔn Awurade nnadewa mu wɔ asɛnnua no so a ɛhɔ din pa de Sodom ne Misraim no.
Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
9 Na nnipa a wɔfiri aman so ne mmusuakuo ne kasa ahodoɔ ne aman bi so bɛhwɛ wɔn afunu nnansa ne fa, na wɔremma ɛkwan mma wɔnsie wɔn.
From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be placed in a tomb.
10 Asase so nnipa ani bɛgye sɛ saa nnipa baanu no awuwu. Wɔbɛgye wɔn ani na wɔakyɛ wɔn ho akyɛdeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, saa adiyifoɔ baanu no na wɔde ɔhaw bɛtoo asase sofoɔ so.
Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
11 Nanso, nnansa akyi no, Honhom a ɔfiri Onyankopɔn hɔ bɛwura wɔn mu na wɔasɔre. Na ehu kɛseɛ bɛka obiara a ɔbɛhunu.
After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.
12 Afei, nne a ano yɛ den firi ɔsoro bɛka sɛ, “Mommra ɔsoro ha.” Na ɛberɛ a wɔn atamfoɔ rehwɛ wɔn no, wɔnam omununkum mu kɔɔ ɔsoro.
I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.
13 Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, asase wosoo dendeenden. Kuro no nkyɛmu edu mu baako sɛeɛ, na nnipa mpemnson wuwuiɛ wɔ asasewosoɔ no mu. Nnipa a wɔaka no bɔɔ hu na wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no kɛseyɛ.
In that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 Ɔhaw a ɛtɔ so mmienu no atwa, nanso hwɛ, ɛrenkyɛre na ɔhaw a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa aba.
The second woe is past. Look, the third woe comes quickly.
15 Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so nson hyɛnee ne totorobɛnto, na nne denden wɔ ɔsoro kaa sɛ, “Tumi a wɔde di ewiase so seesei no yɛ yɛn Awurade ne ne Kristo no dea, na ɔbɛdi ɔhene daa daa.” (aiōn )
The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever." (aiōn )
16 Afei, mpanimfoɔ aduonu ɛnan a wɔte wɔn ahennwa so Onyankopɔn anim no de wɔn anim butubutu fam, somm Onyankopɔn,
The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God's throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17 kaa sɛ, “Yɛda wo ase, Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn, wo a wowɔ hɔ na wowɔ hɔ dada, sɛ woafa wo tumi kɛseɛ, na wahyɛ aseɛ redi ɔhene.
saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.
18 Amanaman no bo fuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ wʼabofuo berɛ no aduru a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbu awufoɔ atɛn. Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ wo nkoa adiyifoɔ no aba so ne wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔdi wo din ni no, akɛseɛ ne nketewa. Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wosɛe wɔn a wɔsɛee asase no!”
The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."
19 Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no bueɛ maa wɔhunuu adaka a apam no wɔ mu no wɔ asɔredan no mu. Afei, anyinam ne aprannaa paapaee, ɛnna asase wosoeɛ na asukɔtweaa bebree nso tɔeɛ.
God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
