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, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here, and I will show thee things which must be after this.
2 Prɛko pɛ, na Honhom no faa me. Na ahennwa bi si ɔsoro hɔ a obi te so.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 Na nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ ahwehwɛboɔ ne mogyanamboɔ. Na nyankontɔn a ɛte sɛ ahahammonoboɔ atwa ahennwa no ho ahyia.
And he that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was a rainbow around the throne, in sight 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 around the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had 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 throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire 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 in front of the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living beings full of eyes before and behind.
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 being was like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being was like 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 beings had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, 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 when those living beings give glory and honour and thanks to him that is seated on the throne, who liveth 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 elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and 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.”
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
