Adiyisɛm 5
1 Mehunuu sɛ deɛ ɔte ahennwa so no kura nwoma bi wɔ ne nsa nifa mu. Na wɔatwerɛ akyire ne animu nyinaa a wɔde nsɔano nson asosɔ ano.
And I saw, upon the right hand of him that was sitting upon the throne, a scroll; written within, and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
2 Mehunuu ɔbɔfoɔ hoɔdenfoɔ bi a ɔde nne kɛseɛ kaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔfata sɛ ɔte nsɔano no na ɔbue nwoma no mu?”
And I saw a mighty messenger, proclaiming with a loud voice—Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to unloose the seals thereof?
3 Nanso, wɔannya obiara a ɔwɔ ɔsoro anaa asase so anaa asase ase a ɔtumi buee nwoma no mu hwɛɛ mu.
And, no one, was able, in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, to open the scroll, or, to look thereon.
4 Mesuu yie, ɛfiri sɛ wɔannya obiara a ɔfata sɛ ɔbue nwoma no mu na ɔhwɛ mu.
And, I, began to weep much, because, no one, worthy, was found, to open the scroll, or, to look thereon.
5 Afei, ɔpanin baako ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsu. Hwɛ! Gyata a ɔfiri Yuda abusuakuo mu a ɔyɛ Dawid aseni adi nkonim, na ɔbɛtumi atete nsɔano nson no na wabue nwoma no mu.”
And, one of the elders, saith unto me—Do not weep! Lo! the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome, to open the scroll and the seven seals thereof.
6 Afei, mehunuu Odwammaa bi sɛ ɔgyina ahennwa no mfimfini a ateasefoɔ baanan no ne mpanimfoɔ no atwa ne ho ahyia. Wɔhwɛ a na ɛsɛ deɛ wɔakum Odwammaa no. Na ɔwɔ mmɛn nson ne aniwa nson a ɛgyina hɔ ma Onyankopɔn ahonhom nson no a wɔasoma wɔn aba ewiase no.
And I saw, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb, standing, showing that it had been slain, —having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the [seven] Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 Odwammaa no kɔgyee nwoma no firii deɛ ɔte ahennwa so no nsa nifa mu.
And he came, and at once took [it] out of the right hand of him that was sitting upon the throne.
8 Ɔyɛɛ saa no, ateasefoɔ baanan no ne mpanimfoɔ aduonu ɛnan no butubutuu Odwammaa no anim. Na wɔn mu biara kura sankuo ne sika ayowaa a aduhwam ayɛ no ma a ɛyɛ ahotefoɔ mpaeɛ.
And, when he took the scroll, the four living creatures, and the four-and-twenty elders, fell down before the Lamb, having, each one, a harp, and bowls of gold full of incense, —which are the prayers of the saints;
9 Wɔtoo dwom foforɔ sɛ, “Wofata sɛ wofa nwoma no na wote ne nsɔano no, ɛfiri sɛ wɔkumm wo, na ɛnam wo wuo so maa wɔtɔɔ nnipa firii aman ne mmusuakuo ne nkurɔfoɔ ne kasa nyinaa mu maa Onyankopɔn.
and they sing a new song, saying—Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10 Wɔayɛ wɔn asɔfoɔ ahemman sɛ wɔnsom yɛn Onyankopɔn na wɔbɛdi asase so ɔhene.”
And didst make them, unto our God, a kingdom and priests, —and they reign on the earth.
11 Bio mehwɛeɛ, tee abɔfoɔ mpempem nka. Na wɔatwa ahennwa no ne ateasefoɔ baanan no ne mpanimfoɔ no ho ahyia
And I saw, and heard a voice of many messengers, round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders, —and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands—
12 reto dwom denden sɛ, “Odwammaa a wɔkumm no no fata sɛ ɔgye tumi, ahonya, nyansa ne ahoɔden ne anidie ne animuonyam ne nkamfoɔ!”
saying with a loud voice—Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 Na metee sɛ abɔdeɛ a wɔwɔ ɔsoro, asase so, asase ase ne abɔdeɛ biara a wɔwɔ ɛpo mu ne abɔdeɛ biara a wɔwɔ ewiase nyinaa reto dwom sɛ, “Nhyira ne anidie ne animuonyam ne tumi, nka deɛ ɔte ahennwa no so ne Odwammaa no, (aiōn g165)
And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying—Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages! (aiōn g165)
14 Abɔdeɛ ɛnan no gyee so sɛ, “Amen!” Na mpanimfoɔ no butubutuu hɔ someeɛ.
And the four living creatures continued saying—Amen! And, the elders, fell down and did homage.
