Adiyisɛm 12
1 Afei, nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ kɛseɛ bi daa ne ho adi wɔ ɔsoro. Ɔbaa bi, na nʼatadeɛ yɛ owia a ɔsrane wɔ ne nan ase, na nsoromma dumienu ahenkyɛ hyɛ no.
And there was a great sign in the heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
2 Na ɔnyem a ɔrebɛwo, na awoyea enti, na ɔresu.
and being in gestation, she also cries, travailing in pain, and suffering to bring forth.
3 Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ kɛseɛ foforɔ bi daa ne ho adi wɔ ɔsoro. Ɔwɔ kɔkɔɔ kakraka bi, na ne ti yɛ nson na ɔwɔ mmɛn edu a ahenkyɛ hyehyɛ ebiara so.
And there appeared another sign in the heaven; and behold the great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems:
4 Ɔde ne dua twee nsoromma a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako too wɔn guu fam. Ɔgyinaa ɔbaa a ɔrewo no anim, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔwo ɔba no to hɔ ara pɛ, ɔbɛfa abɔfra no awe.
and his tail draws the third of the stars of the heaven, and casts them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman about to bring forth, in order that he may eat up her child when she may bring it forth.
5 Afei, ɔbaa no woo abarimaa a ɔde nsa a ɛyɛ den bɛdi aman nyinaa so. Nanso, wɔhwim abɔfra no kɔɔ Onyankopɔn ne nʼahennwa ho.
And she brought forth a male son, who is about to shepherdize all the nations with an iron rod: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
6 Ɔbaa no dwane kɔɔ ɛserɛ so baabi a Onyankopɔn asiesie ama no a wɔbɛhwɛ no yie wɔ nnafua apem ahanu ne aduosia mu.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place prepared of God, that they may there nourish her a thousand and two hundred and sixty days.
7 Afei, ɔko sii ɔsoro hɔ. Mikael ne nʼabɔfoɔ ko tiaa ɔwɔ no, ɛnna ɔno nso ne nʼabɔfoɔ ko tiaeɛ.
And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon.
8 Nanso, wɔdii ɔwɔ no so nkonim na wɔamma ɔne nʼabɔfoɔ antena ɔsoro bio.
And the dragon and his angels fought, and they did not prevail; neither was their place found any more in the heaven.
9 Wɔtoo ɔwɔ kakraka no tweneeɛ. Ɔno ne ɔwɔ dada no a wɔfrɛ no ɔbonsam a ɔdaadaa ewiase nyinaa no. Wɔtoo ɔno ne nʼabɔfoɔ nyinaa guu asase so.
And the great dragon, the old serpent, the one called the devil, and Satan, the one deceiving the whole world, was cast out: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Afei, metee nne denden bi wɔ ɔsoro a ɛka sɛ, “Afei, na Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ aba! Afei, na Onyankopɔn akyerɛ ne tumi sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔhene! Afei, na nʼAgyenkwa no akyerɛ ne tumi, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn nuanom no ahohorabɔni a ɔgyinaa Onyankopɔn anim bɔɔ wɔn ahohora awia ne anadwo no, wɔapam no afiri soro no.
And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now has come salvation, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren, the one accusing them before our God day and night, is cast out.
11 Yɛn nuanom no nam Odwammaa no mogya so ne nokorɛ a ɔdaa no adi so dii ne so nkonim. Na wɔasiesie wɔn ho sɛ wɔde wɔn nkwa bɛto hɔ na wɔawuwu.
And they conquered him through the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony; and with divine love they love not their life unto death.
12 Enti, mo ɔsoro ne mo a motete hɔ no, momma mo ani nnye. Afei, asase ne ɛpo nnue! Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbonsam no atoa mo! Na ne bo afu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnim sɛ ne ɛberɛ a aka sua.”
Therefore rejoice, O ye heavens, and those dwelling in them; woe unto the earth and the sea! because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.
13 Ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ no hunuu sɛ wɔato no atwene asase so no, ɔtaa ɔbaa a wawo abarimaa no.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the male child.
14 Wɔmaa ɔbaa no ɔkɔdeɛ ntaban akɛseɛ mmienu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛtumi atu akɔ baabi a wɔasiesie ama no wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ a wɔbɛhwɛ no mfeɛ mmiɛnsa ne fa sɛdeɛ ɔwɔ no renni nʼakyi bio.
And the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly away into the wilderness, into her own place, where she is there nourished a time, and times, and a half time, from the face of the serpent.
15 Afei, ɔwɔ no puu nsuo te sɛ asubɔnten dii ɔbaa no akyi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɛbɛfa no.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16 Nanso, asase boaa ɔbaa no. Ɛbuee nʼanom nom nsuo a ɔwɔ no pu guu hɔ no nyinaa.
And the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened her mouth, and drank up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 Ɔwɔ no bo fuu ɔbaa no, enti ɔkɔeɛ de ntɔkwa kɔkaa ɔbaa no asefoɔ a wɔaka a ɛyɛ wɔn a wɔdi Onyankopɔn mmara so na wɔgye nokorɛ a Yesu ada no adi no di.
And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.
