1I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
1 Ay di malayka gaabikooni fo mo kaŋ goono ga zumbu ka fun beena ra. A goono ga daabu nda buru nga gaa. Sajeera mo go a boŋo gaa, a moyduma ga hima wayno cine, a cey mo ga hima danji sariyaŋ.
2He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
2 A kamba ra mo a gonda tira kunkunante kayna fo kaŋ go feerante. A na nga kambe ŋwaari ca sinji teeko boŋ, kambe wow wano mo laabo boŋ.
3He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
3 A kuuwa nda jinde beeri sanda muusu beeri kaŋ goono ga dundu. Waato kaŋ a kuuwa mo, beena kaatiyaŋ iyya na ngey jinde tunandi.
4When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.”
4 Waato kaŋ kaatiyaŋ iyya din salaŋ, ay soola ay ma hantum. Kal ay maa jinde kaŋ fun beene ka ne: «Ma haŋ kaŋ kaatiyaŋ iyya din ci daabu, ma si n'i hantum bo.»
5The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,
5 Malayka kaŋ ay di go ga kay teeko da laabo boŋ mo na nga kambe ŋwaaro sambu beene haray.
6and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,
6 A ze nda nga kaŋ goono ga funa hal abada abadin, kaŋ na beene da haŋ kaŋ go a ra, da ganda nda haŋ kaŋ go a ra, da teeku nda haŋ kaŋ go a ra din taka. A ne: «Murayyaŋ si no koyne,
7but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets.
7 amma malayka iyyanta jinda jirbey ra, alwaato kaŋ a ga ba ka hillo kar, alwaato din no Irikoy gundo ga kubay, mate kaŋ a ci nga tamey kaŋ ga ti annabey* se.»
8The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.”
8 Jinda mo kaŋ ay maa kaŋ fun beena ra ye ka salaŋ ay se ka ne: «Koy ka tira kaŋ go feerante ta malayka kaŋ go ga kay teeko da laabo boŋ kamba ra.»
9I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it, and eat it up. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
9 Kal ay koy malayka do ka ne a se a m'ay no tira kayna din. A ne ay se: «Di ka ŋwa. A ga naŋ ni gunda ma fottu, amma ni me ra a ga mansi sanda yu.»
10I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
10 Ay na tira kayna din ta malayka kamba ra mo k'a ŋwa. Ay me ra kay a ga mansi sanda yu. Alwaato kaŋ ay n'a ŋwa mo, ay gunda fottu.
11They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
11 I ne ay se: «Tilas kala ni ma ye ka annabitaray te jama boobo, da dumi boobo, da deene boobo da bonkooni boobo boŋ.»
