Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12) was given to him.
Afei ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so enum no hyɛnee ne totorobɛnto. Mehunuu nsoromma a wate firi soro abɛhwe asase so. Wɔmaa no ebunu a ase nni awieeɛ safoa. (Abyssos g12)
2 He opened the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12), and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
Nsoromma no buee ebunu no, na wisie kumɔnn firii mu sɛ fononoo kɛseɛ bi, na wisie no maa owia hann ne mframa a ɛwɔ hɔ no yɛɛ tumm. (Abyssos g12)
3 Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Mmoadabi firii wisie no mu baa asase so, na wɔmaa wɔn tumi sɛ anyanyankyerɛ.
4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.
Wɔama wɔn ansɛe ɛserɛ anaa nnua anaa afifideɛ biara, na mmom, nnipa a Onyankopɔn nsɔano no bi nni wɔn moma so no deɛ, wɔmaa wɔn twee wɔn aso.
5 They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
Wɔamma saa mmoadabi no ɛkwan sɛ wɔnkunkum saa nnipa yi. Na mmom, wɔmaa wɔn ɛkwan sɛ wɔnha wɔn abosome enum. Wɔka wɔn a, wɔn ano yea no te sɛ nyanyankyerɛ deɛ.
6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
Saa abosome enum no mu no, saa nnipa no bɛpere owuo, nanso wɔrennya. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔwu, nanso owuo bɛdwane afiri wɔn nkyɛn.
7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
Mmoadabi no te sɛ apɔnkɔ a wɔasiesie wɔn ama ɔko. Wɔwɔ biribi te sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ahenkyɛ hyɛ wɔn ti. Na wɔn anim te sɛ nnipa anim.
8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
Wɔn tirinwi te sɛ mmaa tirinwi, ɛnna wɔn se nso te sɛ gyata se.
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
Wɔde biribi te sɛ dadeɛ nkataboɔ akatakata wɔn bo. Na nnyegyeeɛ a wɔn ntaban yɛ no te sɛ apɔnkɔ bebree a wɔretwe nteaseɛnam akɔ ɔko.
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
Wɔwɔ borɔ dua te sɛ anyanyankyerɛ. Na wɔn dua no enti na na wɔwɔ tumi a wɔde ha nnipa abosome enum no.
11 They have over them as king the angel of the Abyss (Abyssos g12). His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon", and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon".
Wɔwɔ ɔhene a ɔdi wɔn so, a ɔno ne ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔhwɛ bunu no so. Ne din wɔ Hebri kasa mu de “Abadon” ɛnna Hela kasa mu nso, ɛde “Apolion”, a nʼasekyerɛ ne “Ɔsɛefoɔ.” (Abyssos g12)
12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
Ɔhaw baako atwam. Yei akyi, ɔhaw mmienu bi bɛba.
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Afei ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so nsia no hyɛnee ne totorobɛnto. Metee nne bi firii sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia a ɛsi Onyankopɔn anim no ntweaso nyinaa.
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
Nne no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so nsia a ɔkura totorobɛnto no sɛ, “Sanesane abɔfoɔ baanan a wɔasesa wɔn, Asubɔnten Eufrate ho no.”
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
Wɔsanesanee abɔfoɔ baanan no. Wɔasiesie wɔn ama saa dɔnhwereɛ yi, saa da yi, saa bosome yi ne saa afeɛ yi sɛ wɔnkunkum adasamma mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako.
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
Wɔdii akodɔm ɔpepem ahanu anim. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn dodoɔ no ho amaneɛ maa meteeɛ.
17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
Na mʼanisoadehunu no mu no, mehunuu apɔnkɔ no ne wɔn kafoɔ. Na wɔn nkataboɔ no yɛ kɔɔ sɛ ogya, tumm sɛ afasebire, ɛnna akokɔsradeɛ sɛ sɔfe. Na ɔpɔnkɔ no ti te sɛ gyata ti a ogya wisie ne sɔfe firi wɔn anom.
18 By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
Saa ɔhaw ahodoɔ mmiɛnsa no a ɛyɛ ogya, wisie ne sɔfe no a ɛfiri apɔnkɔ no anom baeɛ no kumm adasamma nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.
Ɛfiri sɛ, na apɔnkɔ no tumi nyinaa firi wɔn anom ne wɔn dua. Wɔn dua te sɛ awɔ a wɔwɔ ti a ɛno na na wɔde pira nnipa.
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.
Adasamma a wɔkaeɛ no a ɔhaw no ankum wɔn no annu wɔn ho amfiri wɔn nsa ano nnwuma ho. Wɔannyae ahonhommɔne ne ahoni ne sika ne dwetɛ ne ayowaa ne aboɔ ne nnua a ɛnhunu adeɛ na ɛnte asɛm na ɛntumi nnante no som.
21 They did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
Saa ara nso na wɔannu wɔn ho amfiri wɔn awudie ne wɔn adutoɔ ne wɔn adwamammɔ ne wɔn korɔno ho.
