< 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 these I saw, and, behold, a door (was) open in heaven. And the first voice that I had heard as a trumpet talking with me, said, Come up hither, and I will make thee see the (things) which must be after these.
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, behold, a throne placed in heaven, and upon the throne (One) sat.
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.
And he who sat was like to the appearance of the stone of jaspon, and of sardion; and the bow of the clouds was around the throne, in resemblance to the appearance of zmragda.
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.
Around the throne were seats twenty and four; and upon those seats twenty and four presbyters sitting, who were robed in white vestments, and upon their heads wore coronets of gold.
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.
And from the throne went forth lightnings and the voice of thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire which burned before His throne, which are the seven Spirits of Aloha.
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 a sea of brightness like chrystalos; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, four living-ones, who were full of eyes before and behind.
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.
And the first living-one was like the lion, and the second living-one was like the calf, and the third living-one had a face as a man, and the fourth living-one was like the eagle which flieth.
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 these four living-ones, each of them, had six wings round about; and within were full of eyes; and they rest not day and night from saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who wast, and art, and art 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 when those living-ones give glory and honour and thanks unto Him who sitteth upon the throne, to Him who liveth for ever 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 four and twenty presbyters fell before Him who sitteth upon the throne, and worshipped Him who liveth for ever and ever, and 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 art thou, O Lord, And our God the Holy One, To receive glory and honour and power; For thou hast created all, And by thy hand they are, And through thy will they were and are created.
