1 Noonu ma gis meneen malaaka mu am doole, muy wàcce asamaan, làmboo niir. Xon tiim ko, te xar-kanamam mel ni jant, te ay tànkam mel ni jumi safara.
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.
2 Yor na benn téere bu ndaw bu ñu ubbi. Mu teg tànku ndeyjooram ci géej gi, tànku càmmooñam ci suuf si,
2He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
3 di xaacu, mel ni gaynde guy yëmmu. Naka la xaacu, juróom-ñaari dënnu yi jib.
3He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 Naka la juróom-ñaari dënnu yi di jib, may waaj a bind, waaye ma dégg baat bu jóge asamaan, naan ma: «Li juróom-ñaari dënnu yi wax, na nekk kumpa, bu ko bind.»
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.”
5 Noonu malaaka ma ma gis, mu taxaw ci géej gi ak suuf si, yékkati loxol ndeyjooram, mu jëm asamaan,
5The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,
6 daldi waat ci kiy dund ba fàww, ki sàkk asamaan ak suuf ak géej ak li ci nekk lépp; mu ne: «Négandiku wees na,
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,
7 waaye jamono ju juróom-ñaareelu malaaka ma wolee ci liitam, ndogalu Yàlla dina mat, ni mu ko waxe woon ay jaamam, yonent yi.»
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.
8 Ci kaw loolu baat, ba ma déggoon ca asamaan waxaat ak man, ne ma: «Demal jël téere bi ñu ubbi ci loxob malaaka, mi taxaw ci géej gi ak suuf si.»
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.”
9 Ma dem ca malaaka ma, laaj ko téere bu ndaw boobu. Mu ne ma: «Jël ko te lekk ko. Dina wex ci sa biir, waaye dina neex ni lem ci sa gémmiñ.»
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.”
10 Noonu ma jël téere bi ci loxob malaaka mi, daldi ko lekk, mu neex ci sama gémmiñ ni lem, waaye bi ma ko wannee, mu wex xat ci sama biir.
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.
11 Gannaaw loolu ñu ne ma: «Fàww nga wax ci kàddug Yàlla lu jëm ci réew yu bare, xeet yu bare, kàllaama yu bare ak buur yu bare.»
11They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
