Revelation 6
1 I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
Pea ne u vakai ʻi he vete ʻe he Lami ʻae meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe taha, pea ne u fanongo, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuʻulu ʻoe mana, pea ko e tokotaha ʻi he meʻa moʻui ʻe fā naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
2 Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi hinehina pea naʻe ʻiate ia naʻe heka ai ʻae kaufana; pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae pale: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi he ikuna ki he ikuna.
3 When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono ua ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea u fanongo ki hono ua ʻoe meʻa moʻui, ʻoku pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
4 Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
Pea ʻalu atu ʻae hoosi ʻe taha naʻe kulokula: pea naʻe tuku kiate ia naʻe heka ai ke ne toʻo ʻae melino mei māmani, pea ke nau fetāmateʻaki ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae heletā lahi.
5 When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono tolu ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea u fanongo ki hono tolu ʻoe meʻa moʻui, naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.” Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi ʻuliʻuli; pea naʻe ʻi he nima ʻo ia naʻe heka ai ʻae meʻa fakatatau.
6 I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo, mei he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, naʻe pehē mai, “Ko e puha fua ʻoe uite ki he tenali ʻe taha, mo e puha fua ʻe tolu ʻoe paʻale ki he tenali ʻe taha; pea ʻoua naʻa ke maumauʻi ʻae lolo mo e uaine.”
7 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono fā ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, peau fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo hono fā ʻoe meʻa moʻui, naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
8 This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi tea: pea ko e hingoa ʻo ia naʻe heka ai ko e Mate, pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Hētesi. Pea naʻe tuku kiate kinaua ʻae mālohi ki hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻo māmani, ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e honge, mo e mate, pea mo e fanga manu fekai ʻoe fonua. (Hadēs g86)
9 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono nima ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, ne u mamata ʻi he lalo ʻesifeilaulau ki he ngaahi laumālie ʻokinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi koeʻuhi ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻa nau fai:
10 They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
Pea naʻa nau tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki māʻoniʻoni mo moʻoni, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa, mo hoʻo taʻefakamaau mo taʻetotongia homau toto kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he maama?”
11 [God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻae kofu hinehina tōtōlofa; pea naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu, ke nau kei tatali ke fuoloa siʻi, kaeʻoua ke kātoa honau kaungā tamaioʻeiki mo honau kāinga, ʻakinautolu ʻe tāmateʻi ʻo hangē pe ko kinautolu.
12 I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] like blood.
Pea ne u mamata ʻi heʻene vete hono ono ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mofuike lahi; pea hoko ʻae laʻā ʻo ʻuliʻuli ʻo hangē ha tauangaʻa fulufulu, pea hoko ʻae māhina ʻo hangē ko e toto;
13 The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
Pea naʻe mokulu ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi ki he fonua, ʻo hangē ko e lī hifo ʻe he fiki ʻa hono ngaahi kauloa, ʻoka lūluuʻi ia ʻe he matangi lahi.
14 The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
Pea naʻe mole ʻae langi ʻo hangē ha tohi ʻoka tākai ia; pea ko e moʻunga mo e motu kotoa pē naʻe hiki mei honau potu.
15 [As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea mo e ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e kau koloaʻia, mo e kau ʻeikitau, mo e kau mālohi, mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē, mo e kau tauʻatāina kotoa pē, naʻa nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi luo mo e ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga;
16 They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
Mo nau pehē ki he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngaahi maka, “Hinga mai kiate kimautolu, ʻo fufū ʻakimautolu mei he fofonga ʻo ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea mei he houhau ʻoe Lami:
17 This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
He kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho lahi ʻo hono houhau; pea ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ai?”
