< 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 things, I looked and lo, a door was open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard, was as of a trumpet talking with me. It said, Come up hither; and I will show thee the things that must occur hereafter.
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.
Instantly, I was in the Spirit: and lo, a throne was placed in heaven; and there was one seated on the throne.
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 the appearance of a jasper-stone, and of a sardine sard, and of a rainbow of the clouds, round about the throne, in form as the appearance of emeralds.
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 twenty and four seats; and upon those seats sat twenty and four Elders, who were clothed in white robes, and on whose heads were 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 proceeded lightnings, and the sound of thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before his throne, which 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, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, were four Animals, full of eyes in their front and in their rear.
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 Animal resembled a lion; and the second Animal resembled a calf; and the third Animal had a face like a man; and the fourth Animal resembled an eagle when flying.
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 Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, 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 when these Animals give glory and honor and praise to him that sitteth on 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 twenty and four Elders fall down before him who sitteth on the throne, and they worship him who liveth for ever and ever; and they cast their coronets 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 our God, the Holy, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thee they exist; and because of thy pleasure they had being and were created.
