< Hoikeana 7 >
1 MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea, ike aku la au i na anela eha e ku ana ma na kihi eha o ka honua, e paa ana i na makani eha o ka honua, i pa ole mai ka makani ma ka aina, aole hoi ma ka moana, aole hoi ma kekahi laau.
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, and holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow over the earth or the sea or upon any tree.
2 A ike aku la au i kekahi anela okoa e pii mai ana, mai ka hikina a ka la mai; aia no ia ia ka hoailona o ke Akua ola. A hea aku la ia me ka leo nui i na anela eha, ua haawiia mai na lakou e hana ino i ka aina a me ka moana,
And I saw another angel coming from the east and carrying a seal belonging to the ever-living God. He called in a loud voice to the four angels whose work it was to injure the earth and the sea.
3 I mai la oia, Mai hana ino oukou i ka aina, aole hoi i ka moana, aole hoi i na laau, a hoailona aku la makou i na kauwa a ko kakou Akua ma ko lakou lae.
"Injure neither land nor sea nor trees," he said, "until we have sealed the bondservants of our God upon their foreheads."
4 A lohe aku la au i ka huina helu o ka poe i hoailonaia. Ua hoailonaia hookahi haneri me kanahakumamaha tausani, mai loko mai o na ohana a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
When the sealing was finished, I heard how many were sealed out of the tribes of the descendants of Israel. They were 144,000.
5 No ka ohana a Iuda, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Reubena, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Gada, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani;
Of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000; Of the tribe of Gad, 12,000;
6 A no ka ohana a Asera, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Napetali, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Manase, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani;
Of the tribe of Asher, 12,000; Of the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000; Of the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000;
7 A no ka ohana a Simeona, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Levi, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Isakara, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani;
Of the tribe of Symeon, 12,000; Of the tribe of Levi, 12,000; Of the tribe of Issachar, 12,000;
8 A no ka ohana a Zebuluna, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Iosepa, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani; a no ka ohana a Beniamina, ua hoailonaia he umikumamalua tausani.
Of the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000; Of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000; Of the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000.
9 A mahope iho o keia mau mea, nana aku la au, aia hoi, he anaina nui loa, aole hiki i kekahi ke helu aku, mai loko mai lakou o na aupuni a pau, a me na ohana, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo a pau, e ku ana lakou imua o ka nohoalii, a imua hoi o ke Keikihipa, ua aahuia lakou i na holoku keokeo, a he mau pama ma ko lakou mau lima.
After this I looked, and a vast host appeared which it was impossible for anyone to count, gathered out of every nation and from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and carrying palm-branches in their hands.
10 Hea mai la lakou me ka leo nui, i mai la, No ko kakou Akua ke ola, ka Mea e noho la ma ka nohoalii, a no ke Keikihipa hoi.
In loud voices they were exclaiming, "It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!"
11 A ku mai la na anela a pau a puni ka nohoalii, a me na lunakahiko, a me na mea ola eha, a moe iho la ko lakou alo ilalo imua o ka nohoalii, a hoomana aku la lakou i ke Akua,
All the angels were standing in a circle round the throne and round the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces in front of the throne and worshipped God.
12 I aku la, Amene; no ko kakou Akua ke aloha, a me ka nani, a me ke akamai, a me ka hoomaikai, a me ka hanohano, a me ka mana, a me ka ikaika, ia ao aku ia ao aku. Amene. (aiōn )
"Even so!" they cried: "The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honor and the power and the might are to be ascribed to our God, until the Ages of the Ages! Even so!" (aiōn )
13 I mai la kekalii o na lunakahiko, ninau mai la ia'u, Owai lakou nei i aahuia i ka aahu lole keokeo? a mai hea mai la lakou i hele mai ai?
Then, addressing me, one of the Elders said, "Who are these people clothed in the long white robes? And where have they come from?"
14 I aku la au ia ia, E kuu haku, ua ike no oe. I mai kela ia'u, Oia ka poe i hele mai, mai loko mai o ka pilikia nui, a ua holoi lakou i ko lakou aahu, a hookeokeo, maloko o ke koko o ke Keikihipa.
"My lord, you know," I replied. "They are those," he said, "who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Nolaila lakou i noho ai imua o ka nohoalii o ke Akua, a ke malama aku nei lakou ia ia i ke ao a me ka po, maloko o kona luakini; a o ka Mea e noho la ma ka nohoalii, oia ke noho pu me lakou.
For this reason they stand before the very throne of God, and render Him service, day after day and night after night, in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne will shelter them in His tent.
16 Aole lakou e pololi hou, aole e makewai hou, aole e wela hou mai ka la maluna o lakou, aole hoi kekahi mea e wela'i.
They will never again be hungry or thirsty, and never again will the sun or any scorching heat trouble them.
17 No ka mea, o ke Keikihipa ka mea maloko ma kahi o ka nohoalii, oia ka mea e hanai ana ia lakou, a e alakai aku hoi ia lakou, i na punawai ola; a na ke Akua no e holoi ae mai ko lakou maka aku, i na waimaka a pau.
For the Lamb who is in front of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to watersprings of Life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."
