< 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, and behold, a door was opened in the heaven: and the first voice I heard was as of a trumpet speaking with me; saying; Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which it behooves to come to pass after these.
2 Prɛko pɛ, na Honhom no faa me. Na ahennwa bi si ɔsoro hɔ a obi te so.
Immediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, a throne was set in the heaven, and on the throne one sitting,
3 Na nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ ahwehwɛboɔ ne mogyanamboɔ. Na nyankontɔn a ɛte sɛ ahahammonoboɔ atwa ahennwa no ho ahyia.
and the one sitting was in appearance like unto a jasper and a sardius stone: and a rainbow was around about the throne, in appearance like unto 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 around about the throne were twenty-four thrones: and on the thrones twenty-four elders are sitting, clothed in white garments; and upon their heads golden crowns.
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 from the throne lightnings and voices and thunders are going out; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, 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 throne a glassy sea like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, are four living creatures filled with eyes in front and in the rear.
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 living creature was like unto a lion, and the second living creature was like unto a bullock, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature was like unto a flying eagle.
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 living creatures having six wings, one opposite one of them; filled with eyes without and within; and they cease not day and night, saying; Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Omnipotent, who was, and who is, and who is the one coming.
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 )
And when the living creatures shall give glory and honor and thanksgiving to the one sitting upon the throne, who lives unto the ages of the ages, (aiōn )
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 )
the twenty-four elders will fall down before the one sitting upon the throne, and will worship Him who lives unto the ages of the ages, and will cast their crowns before the throne, (aiōn )
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.”
saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord truly our God, to receive glory and honor and power: because thou hast created all things, and through thy will they were, and were created.
