< Revelation 7 >

1 And after this I saw four agents standing at the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth, so that wind would not blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.
Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau i nga anahera tokowha, e tu ana i nga pito e wha o te whenua, e pupuri ana i nga hau e wha o te whenua, kia kaua e pupuhi te hau ki runga ki te whenua, kia kaua ki te moana, kia kaua ranei ki runga ki tetahi rakau.
2 And I saw another agent ascending from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God. And he cried out in a great voice to the four agents to whom it was given to them to harm the earth and the sea,
I kite ano ahau i tetahi atu anahera e haere ake ana i te rawhiti, i a ia te hiri a te Atua ora; na, nui atu tona reo ki te karanga ki nga anahera tokowha, i tukua nei ma ratou e mea he kino ki te whenua, ki te moana,
3 saying, Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we may seal the bondmen of our God on their foreheads.
E mea ana, Kaua e meatia he kino ki te whenua, kaua ki te moana, kaua hoki ki nga rakau; kia hiritia ra ano e matou nga rae o nga pononga a to tatou Atua.
4 And I heard the number of those sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel.
A i rongo ahau ki te tokomaha o te hunga i hiritia, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha nga mano i hiritia, no nga pu katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
5 Twelve thousand were sealed from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand from the tribe of Gad,
O te pu o Hura kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia: o te pu o Reupena kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Kara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
6 twelve thousand from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand from the tribe of Manasseh,
O te pu o Ahera kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Nepetarima kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Manahi kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
7 twelve thousand from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand from the tribe of Issachar,
O te pu o Himiona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Riwai kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Ihakara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
8 twelve thousand from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand from the tribe of Benjamin, were sealed.
O te pu o Hepurona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Hohepa kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Pineamine kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia.
9 After these things, I looked and lo, a great multitude, which none could number, out of every nation, and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands,
Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na, he mano tini, e kore nei e taea e tetahi te tatau, no nga iwi katoa, no nga hapu, no nga huihuinga tangata, no nga reo, e tu ana i mua i te torona, i mua hoki i te Reme, he mea whakakakahu ki nga kakahu ma, h e nikau hoki ki o ratou ringaringa;
10 and crying out in a great voice, saying, Salvation is in our God who sits upon the throne, and in the Lamb!
Nui atu to ratou reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Ko te whakaoranga ki to tatou Atua, e noho nei i runga i te torona, ki te Reme hoki.
11 And all the agents had stood all around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before his throne on their faces, and worshiped God,
Na ko nga anahera katoa e tu ana i nga taha katoa o te torona, i nga taha hoki o nga kaumatua, o nga mea ora e wha; a ka tapapa ratou ki mua i te torona, ka koropiko ki te Atua,
12 saying, Truly! Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, is for our God into the ages of the ages. Truly! (aiōn g165)
Me te ki ake ano, Amine: Ko te whakapai, ko te kororia, ko te matauranga, ko te whakawhetai, ko te honore, ko te mana, ko te kaha, kei to tatou Atua ake ake. Amine. (aiōn g165)
13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and where did they come from?
A ka oho mai tetahi o nga kaumatua, ka mea mai ki ahau, Ko enei i whakakakahuria nei ki nga kakahu ma, ko wai ra? a i haere mai ratou i hea?
14 And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, E kara, e matau ana koe. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te hunga tenei i puta mai i te tukinotanga nui, ko o ratou kakahu he mea horoi na ratou, he mea whakama ki nga toto o te Reme.
15 Because of this they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. And he who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
Koia ratou e noho nei i mua i te torona o te Atua, e mahi nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, i roto i tona whare: a ma tera e noho ra i runga i te torona e hipoki tona tapenakara ki runga i a ratou.
16 They will hunger no more, nor will they thirst any more. The sun will, no, not fall upon them, nor any heat.
Kore ake o ratou matekai, kore ake o ratou matewai; e kore ano hoki te ra e pa iho ki a ratou, tetahi wera ranei:
17 Because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will tend them, and will lead them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Ko te Reme hoki i waenganui o te torona hei hepara mo ratou, a mana ratou e arahi ki nga puna wai o te ora: a ma te Atua e muru atu nga roimata katoa i o ratou kanohi.
