1 Yei akyi no, mehunuu abɔfoɔ baanan sɛ, wɔgyinagyina asase ntweaa nan no so a wɔretwe mframa nan a ɛwɔ asase so no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mframa biara remmɔ wɔ asase ne ɛpo so ne baabiara.
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.
2 Ɛnna mehunuu ɔbɔfoɔ foforɔ a ɔfiri apueeɛ reba a ɔkura Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no nsɔano. Ɔteaam frɛɛ abɔfoɔ baanan no a na Onyankopɔn ama wɔn tumi sɛ wɔnsɛe asase ne ɛpo no.
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:
3 Ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Monnsɛe asase ne ɛpo anaa nnua kɔsi sɛ yɛde nsɔano bɛhyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfoɔ no agyiraeɛ.”
“Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
4 Na wɔkyerɛɛ me wɔn a wɔde Onyankopɔn nsɔano hyɛɛ wɔn agyiraeɛ wɔ wɔn moma so no dodoɔ. Wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ ɔpeha aduanan ɛnan, a wɔn nyinaa firi Israel mmusuakuo no mu.
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel:
5 Yuda abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Ruben abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Gad abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu.
From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 Aser abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Naftali abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Manase abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu.
from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 Simeon abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Lewi abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Isakar abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu.
from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 Sebulon abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Yosef abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu. Benyamin abusuakuo mu nnipa a wɔsɔɔ wɔn ano si mpem dumienu.
from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, and from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
9 Yei akyi no, mehunuu nnipakuo a obiara ntumi nkan wɔn dodoɔ. Wɔfifiri aman ne mmusuakuo ne nkurɔfoɔ ne kasa nyinaa mu a wɔgyinagyina ahennwa no ne Odwammaa no anim a wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ fitafitaa, kurakura berɛ.
After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
10 Wɔteaam sɛ, “Yɛn nkwagyeɛ firi yɛn Onyankopɔn a ɔte ahennwa no so ne Odwammaa no.”
And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 Na abɔfoɔ no atwa ahennwa no ne mpanimfoɔ no ne ateasefoɔ baanan no ho ahyia. Afei wɔbutubutuu ahennwa no anim, somm Onyankopɔn
And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,
12 kaa sɛ, “Amen! Nhyira ne animuonyam ne nyansa ne aseda ne anidie ne tumi ne ahoɔden yɛ Onyankopɔn dea daa daa. Amen!” (aiōn g165)
saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn g165)
13 Mpanimfoɔ no mu baako bisaa me sɛ, “Ɛhefoɔ na wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ fitafitaa yi, na wɔfiri he?”
Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”
14 Mebuaa sɛ, “Mennim, owura. Na wo na wonim.” Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yeinom ne wɔn a wɔafiri ɔtaa mu. Wɔde Odwammaa no mogya ahoro wɔn ntadeɛ ama ayɛ fitaa.
“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Na ɛno enti na, “wɔgyina Onyankopɔn ahennwa anim a wɔresom awia ne anadwo wɔ ne hyiadan mu yi. Deɛ ɔbɛtena ahennwa no so no bɛbɔ wɔn ho ban.
For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.
16 Sukɔm renne wɔn bio; ɛkɔm renne wɔn bio. Owia anaa ɔhyew biara renhye wɔn bio.
‘Never again will they hunger, and never will they thirst; nor will the sun beat down upon them, nor any scorching heat.’
17 Ɛfiri sɛ, Odwammaa no a ɔwɔ ahennwa no mfimfini no bɛyɛ wɔn dwanhwɛfoɔ de wɔn akɔ nkwa asutire ho. Na Onyankopɔn bɛpepa wɔn aniwa mu nisuo nyinaa.”
For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. ‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
