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 these things I saw a door open in heaven, and the first voice came to my ears, like the sound of a horn, saying, Come up here, and I will make clear to you the things which are to come.
2 Prɛko pɛ, na Honhom no faa me. Na ahennwa bi si ɔsoro hɔ a obi te so.
Straight away I was in the Spirit: and I saw a high seat in heaven, and one was seated on it;
3 Na nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ ahwehwɛboɔ ne mogyanamboɔ. Na nyankontɔn a ɛte sɛ ahahammonoboɔ atwa ahennwa no ho ahyia.
And to my eyes he was like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was an arch of light round the high seat, like an emerald.
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.
And round about the high seat were four and twenty seats: and on them I saw four and twenty rulers seated, clothed in white robes; and on their heads crowns of gold.
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.
And out of the high seat came flames and voices and thunders. And seven lights of fire were burning before the high seat, which 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 high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about.
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.
And the first beast was like a lion, and the second like an ox, and 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 the four beasts, having every one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and inside: and without resting day and night, they say, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, Ruler of all, 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 when the beasts give glory and honour to him who is seated on the high seat, to him who is living for ever 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 four and twenty rulers go down on their faces before him who is seated on the high seat, and give worship to him who is living for ever and ever, and take off their crowns before the high seat, 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.”
It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.
