< Revelation 8 >
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour.
A i tana wahanga i te whitu o nga hiri, kahore he aha i rangona i te rangi me te mea kotahi te hawhe haora.
2 And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God; and there were given to them seven trumpets.
A ka kite ahau i nga anahera tokowhitu e tu ra i te aroaro o te Atua; a e whitu nga tetere i hoatu ki a ratou.
3 And another angel came, and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God.
A ka haere mai tetahi atu anahera, ka tu ki runga o te aata, he tahu koura tana; a he maha nga whakakakara i hoatu ki a ia, hei tapiri mana ki nga inoi a te hunga tapu katoa ki runga ki te aata koura i mua i te torona.
4 And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel.
A, ko te paoa o nga whakakakara me nga inoi a te hunga tapu, ka kake atu i te ringaringa o te anahera ki te aroaro o te Atua.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings, and a great earthquake.
A ka mau te anahera ki te tahu whakakakara, ka whakakiia ki te kapura o te aata, panga ana e ia ki te whenua: na ko te putanga mai o nga whatitiri, o nga reo, o nga uira, o te ru.
6 And the seven angels, who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound the trumpet.
Na kua takatu nga anahera tokowhitu i nga tetere e whitu, ka mea ki te whakatangi.
7 And the first angel sounded the trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast on the earth, and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Whakatangi ana te anahera tuatahi, na, he whatu tera, he kapura, he toto ano hoki i roto, ka panga ki te whenua: na kua pau i te ahi te wahi tuatoru o te whenua, kua pau i te ahi te wahi tuatoru o nga rakau, a pau ake hoki i te ahi nga tarutaru m atomato katoa.
8 And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and as it were a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood:
A ka whakatangi te rua o nga anahera, na, me te mea he maunga nui tera, e kaia ana e te ahi, kua maka ki te moana: a ka meinga te wahi tuatoru o te moana hei toto;
9 And the third part of those creatures died, which had life in the sea, and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
A mate iho te wahi tuatoru o nga mea hanga i roto i te moana, o nga mea whai ora; ngaro iho hoki te wahi tuatoru o nga kaipuke.
10 And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as it were a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters:
A ka whakatangi te toru o nga anahera, na, kua taka iho i te rangi he whetu nui e ka ana, ano he rama, a taka ana ki te wahi tuatoru o nga awa, ki nga puna hoki o nga wai;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
A ko te ingoa o te whetu ko Taru kawa: a ka meinga te wahi tuatoru o nga wai hei taru kawa; a he tokomaha nga tangata i mate i nga wai, no te mea kua kawa.
12 And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day did not shine for a third part of it, and the night in like manner.
A ka whakatangi te wha o nga anahera, na, kua patua te wahi tuatoru o te ra, me te wahi tuatoru o te marama, me te wahi tuatoru hoki o nga whetu; kia pouri ai te wahi tuatoru o aua mea, kia kore ai e marama te wahi tuatoru o te ra, o te po ano h oki.
13 And I beheld, and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth: by reason of the rest of the voices of the three angels, who are yet to sound the trumpet.
A i kite ahau, i rongo hoki i tetahi ekara e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, he nui tona reo ki te mea mai, Aue, aue, aue, te mate mo te hunga e noho ana i runga i te whenua, i era reo o te tetere a nga anahera tokotoru, meake nei tangi!
