Revelation 8
1 And, as soon as he opened the seventh seal, there came to be silence in heaven, as it were 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 the seven messengers which, before God, do stand; and there were given unto 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 messenger, came, and took his stand at the altar, having a censer of gold: and there was given unto him much incense, that he might give [it] unto the prayers of all the saints, upon the altar of gold that is before the throne.
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 went up, with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the messenger before God.
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 messenger at once took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast unto the earth; and there came to be thunderings, and voices, and lightnings, and an 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 messengers who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves, that they might sound.
Na kua takatu nga anahera tokowhitu i nga tetere e whitu, ka mea ki te whakatangi.
7 And, the first, sounded; and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast unto the earth; and, the third of the earth, was burned up, and, the third of the trees, was burned up, and, all green herbage, was burned 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 messenger, sounded; and, as it were a great mountain burning with fire, was cast into the sea; and the third 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 of the creatures which were in the sea, which had life, died, the third 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 messenger, sounded; and there fell, out of heaven, a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third 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 of the waters became wormwood, and many of the 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 messenger, sounded; and the third of the sun was smitten, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, —in order that the third of them might be darkened, and the day might not shine for the third 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 saw, and I heard one eagle, flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice—Woe! woe! woe! unto them that are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the remaining voices of the trumpet, of the three messengers who are about to sound.
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!
