< Revelation 7 >
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau i nga anahera tokowha, e tu ana i nga pito e wha o te whenua, e pupuri ana i nga hau e wha o te whenua, kia kaua e pupuhi te hau ki runga ki te whenua, kia kaua ki te moana, kia kaua ranei ki runga ki tetahi rakau.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
I kite ano ahau i tetahi atu anahera e haere ake ana i te rawhiti, i a ia te hiri a te Atua ora; na, nui atu tona reo ki te karanga ki nga anahera tokowha, i tukua nei ma ratou e mea he kino ki te whenua, ki te moana,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
E mea ana, Kaua e meatia he kino ki te whenua, kaua ki te moana, kaua hoki ki nga rakau; kia hiritia ra ano e matou nga rae o nga pononga a to tatou Atua.
4 And I heard the number of them who were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
A i rongo ahau ki te tokomaha o te hunga i hiritia, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha nga mano i hiritia, no nga pu katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
5 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
O te pu o Hura kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia: o te pu o Reupena kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Kara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
6 Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand.
O te pu o Ahera kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Nepetarima kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Manahi kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
O te pu o Himiona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Riwai kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Ihakara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
O te pu o Hepurona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Hohepa kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Pineamine kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na, he mano tini, e kore nei e taea e tetahi te tatau, no nga iwi katoa, no nga hapu, no nga huihuinga tangata, no nga reo, e tu ana i mua i te torona, i mua hoki i te Reme, he mea whakakakahu ki nga kakahu ma, h e nikau hoki ki o ratou ringaringa;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
Nui atu to ratou reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Ko te whakaoranga ki to tatou Atua, e noho nei i runga i te torona, ki te Reme hoki.
11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and about the elders and the four living beings, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Na ko nga anahera katoa e tu ana i nga taha katoa o te torona, i nga taha hoki o nga kaumatua, o nga mea ora e wha; a ka tapapa ratou ki mua i te torona, ka koropiko ki te Atua,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be to our God for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Me te ki ake ano, Amine: Ko te whakapai, ko te kororia, ko te matauranga, ko te whakawhetai, ko te honore, ko te mana, ko te kaha, kei to tatou Atua ake ake. Amine. (aiōn )
13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these that are arrayed in white robes? and where did they come from?
A ka oho mai tetahi o nga kaumatua, ka mea mai ki ahau, Ko enei i whakakakahuria nei ki nga kakahu ma, ko wai ra? a i haere mai ratou i hea?
14 And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, E kara, e matau ana koe. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te hunga tenei i puta mai i te tukinotanga nui, ko o ratou kakahu he mea horoi na ratou, he mea whakama ki nga toto o te Reme.
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Koia ratou e noho nei i mua i te torona o te Atua, e mahi nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, i roto i tona whare: a ma tera e noho ra i runga i te torona e hipoki tona tapenakara ki runga i a ratou.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Kore ake o ratou matekai, kore ake o ratou matewai; e kore ano hoki te ra e pa iho ki a ratou, tetahi wera ranei:
17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Ko te Reme hoki i waenganui o te torona hei hepara mo ratou, a mana ratou e arahi ki nga puna wai o te ora: a ma te Atua e muru atu nga roimata katoa i o ratou kanohi.
