Revelation 18
1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
A muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau i tetahi atu anahera e heke iho ana i te rangi, he mana nui tona; marama tonu hoki te ao i tona kororia.
2 He cried out with a mighty voice, “Fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, and a haunt for every unclean and hated bird.
He nui hoki tona reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Kua horo, kua horo a Papurona nui, kua meinga hei kainga rewera, hei whare herehere hoki mo nga wairua poke katoa, hei whare herehere mo nga manu poke katoa, mo nga manu whakarihariha.
3 For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her luxury.”
Na te waina hoki o te riri o tona moepuku i horo ai nga tauiwi katoa; i moepuku hoki nga kingi o te whenua ki a ia, a kua whiwhi nui nga kaihoko o te ao i te taonga i te nui o ana mea whakaahuareka.
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say, “Come out of her, my people, so that you do not participate in her sins, and so that you do not receive any of her plagues;
I rongo ano ahau i tetahi atu reo i te rangi, e mea ana, Puta mai koutou i roto i a ia, e toku iwi, kei uru tahi koutou ki ona hara, kei pangia koutou e ona whiu:
5 for her sins are heaped as high as heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteous acts.
Kua tutuki hoki ona hara ki te rangi, kua mahara te Atua ki ana mahi he.
6 Render to her as she herself has rendered; make it double, as she has done, even according to her works. Mix a double portion for her in the cup she has mixed.
Hoatu ki a ia tana i homai ai ki a koutou, takiruatia nga mea mona, kia rite ki ana mahi: ko te kapu i whakakiia e ia kia rua a koutou whakakinga mona.
7 As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same amount of torment and mourning, for in her heart she says, ‘I am like a queen; I am not a widow and will never see mourning.’
Na kia rite ki tana whakanuinga i a ia, ki tona toreretanga ki ana mea whakaahuareka, kia pera ano te mamae me te pouri e hoatu e koutou ki a ia: e mea ana hoki ia i tona ngakau, E noho ana ahau hei kuini, ehara hoki ahau i te pouaru, e kore ano hoki ahau e kite i te pouri.
8 Therefore her plagues will come in a single day— death, mourning, and famine. She will be burned up with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
Mo konei ano ka tae mai ona whiu i te ra kotahi, te mate, te pouri, te matekai; a ka tahuna ia kia pau rawa i te ahi: he kaha hoki te Ariki, te Atua, e whakawa nei i a ia.
9 The kings of the earth who have committed fornication with her and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning.
A, ko nga kingi o te ao i moepuku nei ki a ia, i torere ngatahi nei ki ana mea whakaahuareka, tera e tangi ki a ia, e aue ki a ia, ina kite ratou i te paoa o tona tahunga;
10 In fear of her torment they will stand at a distance and say, “Alas, alas, for the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in a single hour yoʋr judgment has come.”
Ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti i te wehi ki tona whakamamae, ka mea, Aue, aue, te pa nui, Papurona, te pa kaha! kua tae mai hoki tou whakawa i te haora kotahi.
11 The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore,
Ka tangi ano hoki nga kaihoko o te whenua, ka aue ki a ia; no te mea kahore atu he tangata hei hoko i ta ratou utanga;
12 cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of citron wood, all kinds of articles made of ivory, all kinds of articles made of costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
I te utanga o te koura, o te hiriwa, o te kohatu utu nui, o te peara, o te rinena pai, o te papura, o te hiraka, o te kahu whero; me nga rakau taina katoa, me nga tini oko rei, me nga tini oko rakau utu nui whakaharahara, oko parahi, rino, maper e,
13 cargo of cinnamon, incense, myrrh, frankincense, oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, cattle, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
Me te hinamona, me nga mea kakara, me te hinu kakara, me te parakihe, me te waina, me te hinu, me te paraoa pai, me te witi, me nga kararehe, me nga hipi; me te utanga o nga hoiho, o nga hariata, o nga pononga; me nga wairua tangata.
14 “The ripe fruit that was the desire of yoʋr soul has gone from yoʋ, and all yoʋr delicacies and splendors are lost to yoʋ; yoʋ will never find them again!”
Heoi ko nga hua i matea nuitia e tou ngakau kua mawehe atu i a koe, a kua mahue hoki koe i nga mea reke katoa, i nga mea papai, a heoi ano te kitenga o aua mea e te tangata.
15 The merchants of these wares, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
Ko nga kaihoko o enei mea, kua whai taonga nei i a ia, ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti i te wehi ki tona whakamamae, me te tangi, me te aue ano ratou,
16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with precious stone and pearls!
Me te ki, Aue, aue, te pa nui, i kakahuria ki te rinena pai, ki te papaura, ki te whero, i tataitia ki te koura, ki te kohatu utu nui, ki nga peara!
17 For in a single hour such great wealth has been laid waste!” And every shipmaster and seafaring man, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood at a distance
Kotahi tonu hoki te haora a moti rawa iho taua taonga nui. Na ko nga rangatira kaipuke katoa, ko te hunga katoa e rere ana ra te kaipuke ki ia wahi, ko nga kaiwhakatere kaipuke, me te hunga katoa ano kei te moana a ratou mahi, tu mai ana ratou i tawhiti,
18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city is like the great city?”
Me te karanga ano ratou i to ratou kitenga i te paoa o tona tahunga, me te ki, Ko tehea pa i rite ki tenei pa nui?
19 They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning aloud, “Alas, alas, for the great city, where all who had ships at sea grew rich from her valuable merchandise! For in a single hour she has been laid waste.
Opehia ana hoki e ratou he puehu ki a ratou mahunga, kei te karanga ratou, me te tangi, me te aue, kei te mea, Aue, aue, te pa nui, i whai taonga ai i ona utu nui te hunga katoa he kaipuke a ratou i te moana! kotahi tonu nei hoki te haora a moti rawa iho.
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her.”
Kia hari ki a ia, e te rangi, e te hunga tapu, e nga apotoro, e nga poropiti ano hoki; kua whakaritea nei hoki e te Atua ta koutou whakawa i a ia.
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, and said, “With such violence Babylon the great city will be thrown down, never to be found again.
Katahi ka hapaingia ake e tetahi anahera kaha he kamaka i rite nei ki tetahi kamaka rahi no te mira, a maka ana e ia ki te moana, me te ki ano ia, Ka peneitia a Papurona, te pa nui, ka maka whakareretia atu, e kore ano hoki e kitea i muri nei.
22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters will never be heard in yoʋ again. No craftsman of any trade will ever be found in yoʋ again. The sound of a mill will never be heard in yoʋ again.
Na heoi ano rongonga i roto i a koe ki te reo o nga kaiwhakatangi hapa, o nga kaiwhakatakoto rangi waiata, o nga kaiwhakatangi i nga putorino, i nga tetere; e kore ano hoki e kitea i nga wa i muri nei tetahi kaimahi o nga tini mahi i roto i a ko e; e kore ano hoki e rangona i nga wa i muri nei te haruru o te kohatu mira i roto i a koe;
23 The light of a lamp will never shine in yoʋ again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in yoʋ again. For yoʋr merchants were the magnates of the earth, and all the nations were deceived by yoʋr sorcery.”
E kore ano hoki e whiti i nga wa i muri nei te marama o te rama i roto i a koe; e kore ano hoki e rangona i nga wa i muri nei te reo o te tane marena hou, o te wahine marena hou, i roto i a koe: ou kaihokohoko hoki ko nga tangata nunui o te ao; na au mahi makutu ano hoki i pohehe ai nga iwi katoa.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.
I kitea ano hoki i roto i a ia nga toto o nga poropiti, o te hunga tapu, o te hunga katoa hoki i whakamatea ki runga ki te whenua.
