Revelation 12
1 Then a great portent was seen in the heavens – a woman whose robe was the sun, and who had the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Afei nsɛnkyerɛnne kɛse bi daa ne ho adi wɔ ɔsoro. Ɔbea bi, na nʼatade yɛ owia a ɔsram wɔ ne nan ase, na nsoromma dumien ahenkyɛw hyɛ no.
2 She was pregnant; and she is crying out in the pain and agony of childbirth.
Na ɔyem a ɔrebɛwo, na awoyaw nti na ɔresu.
3 Another portent also was seen in the heavens There was a great red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.
Nsɛnkyerɛnne kɛse foforo bi daa ne ho adi wɔ ɔsoro: Ɔwɔ kɔkɔɔ kakraka bi a ne ti yɛ ason na ɔwɔ mmɛn du a ahenkyɛw hyehyɛ biara so.
4 His tail draws after it a third of the stars in the heavens, and it hurled them down on the earth. The Dragon is standing in front of the woman who is about to give birth to the child, so that he may devour it as soon as it is born.
Ɔde ne dua twee nsoromma a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no mu nkyɛmu abiɛsa mu baako tow wɔn guu fam. Ogyinaa ɔbea a ɔrewo no anim, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔwo ɔba no to hɔ ara pɛ, ɔbɛfa abofra no awe.
5 The woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was at once caught up to God on his throne.
Afei ɔbea no woo abarimaa a ɔde nsa a ɛyɛ den bedi aman nyinaa so. Nanso wohwim abofra no kɔɔ Onyankopɔn ne nʼahengua ho.
6 But the woman fled into the wilderness, where there is a place prepared for her by God, to be tended there for twelve hundred and sixty days.
Ɔbea no guan kɔɔ sare so baabi a Onyankopɔn asiesie ama no a wɔbɛhwɛ no yiye wɔ nnafua mpem ahannu aduosia mu.
7 Then a battle took place in the heavens. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. But though the Dragon, with his angels, fought,
Afei ɔko sii ɔsoro hɔ. Mikael ne nʼabɔfo ko tiaa ɔwɔ no, na ɔno nso ne nʼabɔfo ko tiae.
8 he did not prevail; and there was no place left for them any longer in the heavens.
Nanso wodii ɔwɔ no so nkonim na wɔamma ɔne nʼabɔfo antena ɔsoro bio.
9 Then the great Dragon, the primeval snake, known as the “devil” and “Satan,” who deceives all the world, was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
Wɔtow ɔwɔ kakraka no kyenee. Ɔno ne ɔwɔ dedaw no a wɔfrɛ no ɔbonsam a ɔdaadaa wiase nyinaa no. Wɔtow ɔno ne nʼabɔfo nyinaa guu asase so.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven which said – “Now has begun the day of the salvation, and Power, and Dominion of our God, and the Rule of his Christ; for the Accuser of our people has been hurled down, he who has been accusing them before our God day and night.
Afei metee nne dennen bi wɔ ɔsoro a ɛka se, “Afei na Onyankopɔn nkwagye aba! Afei na Onyankopɔn akyerɛ ne tumi sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔhene! Afei na nʼAgyenkwa no akyerɛ ne tumi, efisɛ yɛn nuanom no ahohorabɔni a ogyinaa Onyankopɔn anim bɔɔ wɔn ahohora awia ne anadwo no, wɔapam no afi ɔsoro.
11 Their victory was due to the blood of the Lamb, and to the message to which they bore their testimony. In their love of life they shrank not from death.
Yɛn nuanom no nam Oguamma no mogya so ne nokware a ɔdaa no adi no so dii ne so nkonim. Na wɔasiesie wɔn ho sɛ wɔde wɔn nkwa bɛto hɔ na wɔawuwu.
12 Therefore, be glad, heaven, and all who live in heaven! Alas for the earth and for the sea, for the devil has gone down to you in great fury, knowing that he has but little time.”
Enti mo ɔsoro ne mo a motete hɔ no, momma mo ani nnye. Afei asase ne po nnue! Efisɛ ɔbonsam no atoa mo na ne bo afuw efisɛ onim sɛ, ne bere a aka sua.”
13 When the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
Bere a ɔwɔ no huu sɛ wɔatow no akyene asase so no, ɔtaa ɔbea a wawo abarimaa no.
14 But to the woman were given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly to her place in the wilderness, where she is being tended for one year, and for two years, and for half a year in safety from the snake.
Wɔmaa ɔbea no ɔkɔre ntaban akɛse abien, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obetumi atu akɔ faako a wɔasiesie ama no wɔ sare so hɔ a wɔbɛhwɛ no mfe abiɛsa ne fa sɛnea ɔwɔ no renni nʼakyi bio.
15 Then the snake poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away.
Afei ɔwɔ no puw nsu te sɛ asubɔnten dii ɔbea no akyi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɛbɛfa no.
16 But Earth came to her help, and opened her mouth and drank up the river which the Dragon had poured out of its mouth.
Nanso asase boaa ɔbea no. Ebuee nʼanom nom nsu a ɔwɔ no puw guu hɔ no nyinaa.
17 The Dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to fight with the rest of her offspring – those who lay to heart the commands of God and bear their testimony to Jesus;
Ɔwɔ no bo fuw ɔbea no, enti ɔkɔ de ntɔkwaw kɔkaa ɔbea no asefo a wɔaka a ɛyɛ wɔn a wodi Onyankopɔn mmara so na wogye nokware a Yesu ada no adi no di no.
