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 appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 Na ɔnyem a ɔrebɛwo, na awoyea enti, na ɔresu.
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
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 wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
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 drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as he was born.
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 son, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: 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 hath a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand 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 heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 Nanso, wɔdii ɔwɔ no so nkonim na wɔamma ɔne nʼabɔfoɔ antena ɔsoro bio.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in 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 was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out upon 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 loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.
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 overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the 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, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short 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 to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the son.
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 to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a 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 water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
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 swallowed up the flood 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 with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
