Adiyisɛm 6
1 Afei, mehunuu sɛ Odwammaa no ate nsɔano nson no mu deɛ ɛdi ɛkan ano, na metee sɛ ateasefoɔ baanan no mu baako de nne a ɛte sɛ aprannaa reka sɛ, “Bra!”
I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”
2 Mehwɛeɛ, na mehunuu ɔpɔnkɔ fitaa bi wɔ hɔ. Na deɛ ɔte ne so no kura agyan na wɔmaa no ahenkyɛ. Ɔkɔeɛ sɛ nkonimdifoɔ kɔdii nkonim.
Then a white horse appeared, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
3 Afei, Odwammaa no tee nsɔano a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ano, na metee sɛ ɔteasefoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmienu no reka sɛ, “Bra!”
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”
4 Ɔpɔnkɔ foforɔ a ɔyɛ kɔkɔɔ baeɛ. Wɔmaa deɛ ɔte ne so no tumi sɛ ɔmfa ɔko mmra asase so na nnipa nkunkum wɔn ho. Wɔmaa no akofena kɛseɛ bi.
Another came out, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
5 Afei, Odwammaa no tee nsɔano a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no ano, na metee sɛ ɔteasefoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa no reka sɛ, “Bra!” Mehwɛeɛ, na mehunuu ɔpɔnkɔ tuntum bi wɔ hɔ. Ne kafoɔ no kura nsania mmienu.
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.
6 Metee biribi te sɛ nne bi firi ateasefoɔ baanan no nkyɛn. Na nne no se, “Ayuo susukora yɛ ɛda koro akatua, ɛnna aburoo susukora mmiɛnsa nso yɛ ɛda koro akatua. Nanso, nsɛe nsrango no ne bobesa no!”
I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”
7 Afei, Odwammaa no tee nsɔano a ɛtɔ so nan no ano na metee sɛ ɔteasefoɔ a ɔtɔ so nan no reka sɛ, “Bra!”
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
8 Mehwɛeɛ na mehunuu ɔpɔnkɔ nsonso bi. Wɔtoo ne sotefoɔ no din “Owuo”, na Asaman di nʼakyi pɛɛ. Wɔmaa no asase nkyɛmu nan mu baako so tumi sɛ ɔmfa ɔko, ɔkɔm, yadeɛ ne nkekaboa a wɔwɔ asase so nkunkum wɔn. (Hadēs g86)
And behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat on it was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him. (Hadēs g86)
9 Afei Odwammaa no tee nsɔano a ɛtɔ so enum no ano. Mehunuu afɔrebukyia bi, na aseɛ na wɔn a wɔkumm wɔn wɔ asɛnka no ho na wɔde gyidie dii adanseɛ no akra wɔ.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
10 Wɔde nne a ano yɛ den kaa sɛ, “Otumfoɔ Awurade, Ɔkronkronni ne Nokwafoɔ! Woretwɛn akɔsi da bɛn ansa na wɔabu nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so atɛn, na wɔatwe wɔn aso sɛ wɔkunkum yɛn?”
They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 Wɔmaa wɔn mu biara atadeɛ fitaa, na wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔntwɛn kakra kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛkum wɔn nuanom asomfoɔ abɛka wɔn ho.
A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
12 Na mehunuu sɛ Odwammaa no tee nsɔano a ɛtɔ so nsia no ano. Na asasewosoɔ a ano yɛ den baeɛ maa owia yɛɛ tumm sɛ ayitoma, na ɔsrane yɛɛ kɔɔ sɛ mogya.
I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.
13 Na nsoromma tete firii soro bɛhwee asase so te sɛ deɛ mframa a ano yɛ den bɔ borɔdɔma bunu ma ɛtete gu fam pɛ.
The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
14 Ɔsoro yeraeɛ te sɛ nwoma a wɔabobɔ, na mmepɔ ne nsupɔ firii wɔn atenaeɛ.
The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 Na asase so ahemfo ne nnipa akɛseɛ ne asafohene ne adefoɔ ne ahoɔdenfoɔ ne nkoa ne adehyeɛ nyinaa hintahintaa abodan ne mmepɔ mu abotan mu.
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
16 Na wɔka kyerɛɛ mmepɔ no ne abotan no sɛ, “Monkata yɛn so na momfa yɛn nsie, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, deɛ ɔte ahennwa no so no ani renhunu yɛn, na yɛmfiri Odwammaa no abufuo ano.
They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 Wɔn abufuo no ɛda kɛseɛ aduru, na hwan na ɔbɛtumi agyina ano?”
for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
