Hoikeana 4
1 MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea, nana aku la au, aia hoi, he puka e hamama ana maloko o ka lani; a o ka leo mua a'u i lohe ai, ua like ia me ko ka pu e kamailio ana ia'u, i mai la, E pii mai oe ia nei, a na'u no e hoike aku ia oe i na mea e hiki mai ana ma keia hope aku.
After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”
2 Hihio koke iho la au i ka Uhane; aia hoi, ua hoonohoia he nohoalii ma ka lani, a he mea hoi e noho ana maluna o ua nohoalii la.
At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.
3 A o ka mea e noho ana, ua like kona helehelena, me ka pohaku Iasepi a me ka Saredio; a he anuenue i pio mai la a puni ka nohoalii, me he pohaku omaomao la.
The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.
4 Ua puni kela nohoalii i na noho he iwakaluakumamaha; a maluna iho o ua poe noho la, e noho ana he poe lunakahiko, he iwakaluakumamaha, ua aahuia i ka aahu keoheo; a maluna iho o ko lakou mau poo, he mau leialii gula.
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.
5 Anapu mai la ka uila mai ka nohoalii mai, a me ka hekili, a me na leo. Ehiku hoi ipukukui ahi e aa ana imua o ka nohoalii, oia hoi na Uhane ehiku o ke Akua.
From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Aia hoi, imua o ka nohoalii, he moana akaka, me he aniani la; a ma ka nohoalii, a puni hoi ka nohoalii, eha mau mea ola, ua paapu i na maka mamua a mahope.
And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.
7 A o ka mua o ka mea ola, ua like ia me ka liona; a o ka lua o ka mea ola ua like ia me ke keiki bipi, a o ke kolu o ka mea ola, ua like kona maka me ko ke kanaka, a o ka ha o ka mea ola, ua like ia me ka aeto lele.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
8 A o ua poe mea ola la eha, ua papa ono lakou i na eheu; ua paapu i na maka a puni a maloko; aole hoi lakou i hoomaha i ke ao a me ka po, i ka i ana mai, Hoano, Hoano, Hoano, ka Haku ke Akua mana loa, ka mea mamua, ka mea e noho la, ka mea e noho la, ka mea e mau loa ana.
And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
9 A i ka wa e hoomana aku ai, a i hoonani aku ai, a hoomaikai aku ai na mea ola i ka mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii, oia hoi ka Mea e ola mau ana ia ao aku ia ao aku, (aiōn g165)
And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 Alaila, moe iho la ka poe lunakahiko he iwakaluakumamaha, imua o ka mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii, a hoomana aku la i ka mea e ola mau ana ia ao aku, ia ao aku; a hoolei no hoi i ko lakou mau leialii imua o ka nohoalii, me ka i ana ae, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)
11 E pono no oe, e ka Haku, ke loaa ia oe ka nani a me ka mahalo a me ka mana; no ka mea, nau no i hana i na mea a pau, a ma kou makemake no lakou i mau ai a hanaia hoi.
“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and came to be.”
