Adiyisɛm 4
1 Yei akyiri no, mehwɛ mehunuu ɛpono a abue wɔ ɔsoro. Na ɛnne bi akasa akyerɛ me pɛn na ɛgyegye sɛ totorobɛnto kaa sɛ, “Bra ɔsoro ha, na mɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛbɛba yei akyi.”
After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”
2 Prɛko pɛ, na Honhom no faa me. Na ahennwa bi si ɔsoro hɔ a obi te so.
At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.
3 Na nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ ahwehwɛboɔ ne mogyanamboɔ. Na nyankontɔn a ɛte sɛ ahahammonoboɔ atwa ahennwa no ho ahyia.
The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.
4 Na ahennwa nketewa aduonu nan atwa ahennwa kɛseɛ no ho ahyia a mpanimfoɔ aduonu ɛnan na wɔtete so a wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ fitaa ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahenkyɛ.
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.
5 Na anyinam ne aprannaa bobom firi ahennwa no mu. Na nkanea nson a wɔasosɔ redɛre wɔ ahennwa no anim. Yeinom yɛ Onyankopɔn ahonhom nson.
From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Na biribi te sɛ ahwehwɛ ɛpo a ɛyɛ korɔgyenn sɛ ahwehwɛ da ahennwa no anim. Ahennwa no fa biara, na ateasefoɔ baanan a ani tuatua wɔn anim ne wɔn akyi atwa ahennwa no ho ahyia.
And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.
7 Na ɔteasefoɔ a ɔdi ɛkan no te sɛ gyata; deɛ ɔtɔ so mmienu no te sɛ nantwie ba; deɛ ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa no anim te sɛ onipa; ɛnna deɛ ɔtɔ so nan no te sɛ ɔkɔdeɛ a ɔretu.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
8 Na ateasefoɔ baanan no mu biara wɔ ntaban nsia a ani tuatua akyire ne animu nyinaa. Anadwo ne awia nyinaa na wɔto dwom sɛ,
And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
9 Saa ateasefoɔ baanan no to nnwom de hyɛ deɛ ɔte ahennwa no so a ɔte hɔ daa daa no animuonyam, de ma no anidie, da no ase. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, (aiōn g165)
And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 mpanimfoɔ aduonu ɛnan no butubutu deɛ ɔte ahennwa no so no anim som deɛ ɔte hɔ daa daa no. Wɔto wɔn ahenkyɛ gu ahennwa no anim ka sɛ: (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)
11 “Yɛn Awurade ne Onyankopɔn, wofata sɛ wonya animuonyam, anidie ne tumi, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na wobɔɔ nneɛma nyinaa, na wo pɛ mu enti na wɔte hɔ.”
“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and came to be.”
