< Revelation 10 >
1 And I saw another, a mighty messenger, descending out of heaven, —arrayed with a cloud, and, the rainbow, was upon his head, and, his face, was as the sun, and, his feet, were as pillars of fire,
Pea ne u mamata ki ha ʻāngelo mālohi ʻe tokotaha ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae ʻao: pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae ūmata, pea naʻe tatau hono mata mo e laʻā, pea ko hono vaʻe naʻe tatau mo e pou afi:
2 and [he was] holding in his hand a little scroll, opened; and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the land,
Pea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae tohi siʻi kuo folahi: pea naʻa ne ʻai hono vaʻe toʻomataʻu ki he tahi, pea mo e toʻohema ki he fonua,
3 and cried out with a loud voice, just as a lion, roareth. And, when he cried out, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.
Pea kalanga leʻo lahi ia, ʻo hangē ko e ngungulu ʻoe laione: pea hili ʻene tangi, naʻe fakaongo honau leʻo ʻe he mana ʻe fitu.
4 And, when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of heaven, saying—Seal up the things which the seven thunders have uttered, and do not write, them.
Pea kuo fakaongo ʻe he mana ʻe fitu honau leʻo, pea u te u ke tohi: pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo mei he langi ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, “Fakamaʻu ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fakaongo mai ʻe he mana ʻe fitu, pea ʻoua naʻa tohi ia.”
5 And, the messenger, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted up his right hand unto heaven,
Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻaia ne u mamata naʻe tuʻu ki he tahi mo e fonua, naʻa ne hiki hono nima ki he langi,
6 and sware, by him that liveth unto the ages of ages, who created heaven, and the things that are therein, and the earth, and the things that are therein, [and the sea, and the things that are therein, ] Delay, no longer, shall there be; (aiōn )
Pea ne fuakava ʻiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae langi, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, mo e fonua, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, mo e tahi, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻe ʻikai kei taʻofia: (aiōn )
7 but, in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, as soon as he is about to blow his trumpet, then shall have been completed the sacred secret of God as he told the good-news unto his own servants the prophets.
Ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe leʻo ʻo hono fitu ʻoe ʻāngelo, ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene fakaongo, ʻe fakakakato ʻae ngāue fufū ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fakahā ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.
8 And, the voice which I had heard out of heaven, [I] again [heard] talking with me; and saying—Go take the opened scroll, that is in the hand of the messenger who is standing upon the sea and upon the land.
Pea ko e leʻo ʻaia ne u fanongo mei he langi ne toe lea mai ia kiate au, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu, mo ke toʻo ʻae tohi siʻi kuo folahi ʻi he nima ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he tahi mo e fonua.”
9 And I went away unto the messenger, asking him to give me the little scroll; and he saith unto me—Take it, and eat it up; and it shall embitter thy belly, but, in thy mouth, shall be sweet as honey.
Pea ne u ʻalu ki he ʻāngelo, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Tuku mai kiate au ʻae tohi siʻi.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate au, “ʻAve, pea ke kai ke ʻosi ia; pea ʻe fakakonaʻi ʻe ia ʻa ho kete, ka ʻe melie ia ʻi ho ngutu ʻo hangē ha meʻa huʻamelie.”
10 And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up; and it was, in my mouth, as honey, sweet, and, when I had eaten it, embittered was my belly.
Pea ne u toʻo ʻae tohi siʻi mei he nima ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea ne u kai ia ʻo ʻosi; pea naʻe melie ia ʻi hoku ngutu ʻo hangē ha meʻa huʻamelie: pea kuo u kai leva ia, pea kona ʻa hoku kete.
11 And they say unto me—It behoveth thee again to prophesy against peoples and nations and tongues, and many kings.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate au, “Te ke toe kikite ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi kakai lahi, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e kakai lea kehekehe, mo e ngaahi tuʻi.”
