Adiyisɛm 16

1 Afei, metee nne bi sɛ ɛrekasa firi asɔredan mu hɔ kyerɛ abɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Mo nkɔ nkɔhwie Onyankopɔn abufuo nson a ɛwɔ nkuruwa nson mu no ngu asase so.”

And I heard a great voice out of the sanctuary saying to the seven messengers, 'Go away, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God to the earth;'

2 Ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔdi ɛkan no kɔhwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuo guu asase so. Akuro a ɛyɛ hu na ɛyɛ yea tutuu wɔn a wɔde aboa no ahyɛ wɔn ho agyiraeɛ no ne wɔn a wɔsom ne sɛso ohoni no nso.

and the first did go away, and did pour out his vial upon the land, and there came a sore — bad and grievous — to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those bowing to his image.

3 Ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmienu no hwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuo guu ɛpo mu. Nsuo no danee sɛ owufoɔ mogya, na abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ ɛpo no mu no wuiɛ.

And the second messenger did pour out his vial to the sea, and there came blood as of [one] dead, and every living soul died in the sea.

4 Ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa no hwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuo guu nsubɔntene ne nsuwa mu maa ne nyinaa danee mogya.

And the third messenger did pour out his vial to the rivers, and to the fountains of the waters, and there came blood,

5 Metee sɛ ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔhwɛ nsuo so no reka sɛ, “wʼatɛn a wobuo no yɛ atɛntenenee. Ɔkronkronni a wowɔ hɔ na wowɔ ha dada,

and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, 'righteous, O Lord, art Thou, who art, and who wast, and who shalt be, because these things Thou didst judge,

6 ɛfiri sɛ wahwie mo ahotefoɔ ne adiyifoɔ mogya agu, woama wɔn mogya sɛ wɔnnom, sɛdeɛ ɛfata wɔn.”

because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;'

7 Afei, metee nne bi wɔ afɔrebukyia no so sɛ, “Aane, Awurade, Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn, atɛn a wobu nyinaa yɛ atɛntenenee!”

and I heard another out of the altar, saying, 'Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous [are] Thy judgments.'

8 Ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so ɛnan no hwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuo guu owia so na wɔmaa no tumi sɛ ɔnhye nnipa.

And the fourth messenger did pour out his vial upon the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire,

9 Owia hyeɛ no anoden maa nnipa domee Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ saa ɔhaw yi nyinaa so tumi no din. Nanso, wɔannu wɔn ho anhyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam.

and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues, and they did not reform — to give to Him glory.

10 Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so enum no hwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuo guu aboa no ahennwa no so. Esum duruu aboa no ahemman mu, na ɛsiane yea enti, nnipa wee wɔn tɛkrɛma;

And the fifth messenger did pour out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and his kingdom did become darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain,

11 na ɛsiane saa yea no ne akuro a ɛtutuu wɔn no enti, wɔdomee ɔsoro Onyankopɔn. Nanso, wɔantwe wɔn ho amfiri wɔn bɔne ho.

and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from their works.

12 Ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so nsia no hwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuo guu Asubɔnten Eufrate mu. Asuo no weweeɛ, danee ɛkwan maa ahene a wɔfiri apueeɛ.

And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;

13 Afei, mehunuu ahonhommɔne mmiɛnsa bi a na wɔte sɛ mponkyerɛne a na wɔfifiri ɔtweaseɛ no ne aboa no ne atorɔ odiyifoɔ no anom.

and I saw [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs —

14 Wɔyɛ ahonhommɔne a wɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ. Saa ahonhom mmiɛnsa yi kɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa nkyɛn kɔka wɔn nyinaa boa ano ma Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn ɔko da kɛseɛ no.

for they are spirits of demons, doing signs — which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty; —

15 “Montie! Mereba te sɛ ɔkorɔmfoɔ. Nhyira ne deɛ ɔwɛn na ɔhwɛ ne ntadeɛ so, sɛdeɛ ɔrennante adagya ngu ne ho anim ase wɔ badwam!”

'lo, I do come as a thief; happy [is] he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness,' —

16 Ahonhom no boaa ahene no ano wɔ baabi a Hebri kasa mu wɔfrɛ hɔ Armagedon.

and they did bring them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.

17 Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔtɔ so nson no hwiee ne kuruwa no mu abufuo guu mframa mu. Nne denden bi firi ahennwa a ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu no kaa sɛ, “Wɔawie.”

And the seventh messenger did pour out his vial to the air, and there came forth a great voice from the sanctuary of the heaven, from the throne, saying, 'It hath come!'

18 Na anyinam tete maa aprannaa paapaeɛ, ɛnna asasewosoɔ denden bi baeɛ. Ɛfirii sɛ wɔbɔɔ onipa no, asasewosoɔ biara mmaa saa da. Yei ne asasewosoɔ nyinaa mu deɛ ano yɛ den pa ara.

and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake — so great!

19 Kuro kɛseɛ no mu paee mmiɛnsa, na aman nyinaa nkuro akɛseɛ sɛesɛeɛ. Onyankopɔn kaee Babilonia kɛseɛ no, na ɔmaa no nsã a ano yɛ den a ɛyɛ nʼabufuo firi ne kuruwa ano nomeɛ.

And it came — the great city — into three parts, and the cities of the nations did fall, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger,

20 Nsupɔ ne mmepɔ nyinaa yeraeɛ.

and every island did flee away, and mountains were not found,

21 Asukɔtweaa kɛseɛ a ebiara mu duru yɛ kilogram aduonum tɔ firii soro guu nnipa so. Na ɛsiane asukɔtweaa no haw a na ɛyɛ hu no enti, nnipa domee Onyankopɔn.

and great hail (as of talent weight) doth come down out of the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.
