1 Nwoma yi fa adiyisɛm a Onyankopɔn de maa Yesu Kristo sɛ ɔnkyerɛ nʼasomfoɔ deɛ ɛrebɛba no ho. Kristo somaa ne ɔbɔfoɔ kɔɔ nʼakoa Yohane nkyɛn kɔdaa asɛm yi adi kyerɛɛ no,
THE Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Yohane bɛka biribiara a ɔhunuiɛ. Yei ne nʼadansedie ne asɛm a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn ne nokorɛ a Yesu Kristo daa no adi no.
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Nhyira nka obiara a ɔbɛkan saa nwoma yi, na nhyira nka wɔn nso a wɔtie adiyisɛm no na wɔdi so sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ saa nwoma yi mu no. Ɛberɛ no abɛn.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Yohane, Nkyea a ɔkyea asafo ahodoɔ nson a ɛwɔ Asia no nie: Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ, na ɔtenaa hɔ, na ɔreba no ne ahonhom nson a wɔwɔ nʼahennwa anim,
JOHN to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 ne Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ ɔdanseni nokwafoɔ ne awufoɔ mu abakan ne asase so ahene sodifoɔ no nkyɛn nka mo. Ɔdɔ yɛn, na ɔnam ne wuo no so agye yɛn afiri yɛn bɔne mu.
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 Wayɛ yɛn ahemman ne asɔfoɔ sɛ yɛnsom ne Onyankopɔn ne nʼAgya. Ɔno na wɔmfa animuonyam ne tumi mma no daa daa! Amen. (aiōn g165)
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Ɔnam omununkum mu reba. Wɔn a wɔwɔɔ no pea no ne obiara bɛhunu no. Asase so nnipa nyinaa bɛsu no.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 Awurade Onyankopɔn Otumfoɔ no se, “Mene Alfa ne Omega a ɔwɔ hɔ seesei na ɔwɔ hɔ dada na ɔrebɛba no.”
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 Mene Yohane, a me ne mo nyinaa yɛ akyidifoɔ. Yɛhunu amane ɛfiri sɛ Yesu ne yɛn ɔhene, na ɔma yɛn ahoɔden wɔ ahohia mu. Esiane sɛ mekaa Onyankopɔn asɛm kaa nokorɛ a Yesu daa no adi enti, wɔtwaa me asuo de me kɔɔ Supɔ Patmo so.
I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 Awurade da no, Honhom no faa me na metee nne denden bi a ɛte sɛ totorobɛnto a ɛrebɔ wɔ mʼakyi.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Ɛkaa sɛ, “Twerɛ biribiara a wohunu, na fa nwoma no kɔma saa asafo ahodoɔ nson a ɛwɔ Efeso ne Smirna ne Pergamo ne Tiatira ne Sardi ne Filadelfia ne Laodikea no.”
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 Medanee mʼani pɛɛ sɛ mehunu deɛ ɔrekasa kyerɛ me no. Ɛhɔ na mehunuu sikakɔkɔɔ nkaneadua nson.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 Na nkaneadua no mfimfini na onipa bi a ɔte sɛ Onipa Ba a ɔhyɛ atadeɛ yuu a ɛsi ne nan ase a sika abɔsoɔ kyekyere ne koko no gyina.
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 Na ne tirinwi yɛ fitaa te sɛ asaawafuturo anaasɛ sukyerɛmma, na nʼani dɛre sɛ ogya.
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 Ne nan ase hyerɛnee sɛ ayowaa a wɔanane wɔ fononoo mu na afei wɔatwi ho na ne nne woro so te sɛ nsuworosoɔ a ano yɛ den.
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 Na ɔkura nsoromma nson wɔ ne nsa nifa mu na sekan anofanu a ɛyɛ nnam firi nʼanom baeɛ. Na nʼanim hyerɛn te sɛ owigyinaeɛ awia.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 Mehunuu no no, mekɔhwee ne nan ase te sɛ owufoɔ. Ɔde ne nsa nifa too me so kaa sɛ, “Nsuro! Mene Ɔkannifoɔ ne Okyikafoɔ.
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 Mene ɔteasefoɔ no! Mewuiɛ, nanso seesei mete ase daa daa. Mekura owuo ne asaman safoa. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 “Enti afei twerɛ nneɛma a wohunu; deɛ wohunu no seesei ne deɛ ɛbɛba akyire no, twerɛ.
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 Nsoromma nson a wohunu wɔ me nsa nifa mu ne sika nkaneadua no nkyerɛaseɛ a ɛyɛ ahintasɛm no ni; Nsoromma nson no yɛ asafo nson no abɔfoɔ, ɛnna nkaneadua nson no nso yɛ asafo nson no.”
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
