Whakakitenga 10

1 A ka kite ahau i tetahi atu anahera kaha e heke iho ana i te rangi, he mea whakakakahu ki te kapua: ko te aniwaniwa i runga i tona matenga, ko tona kanohi rite tonu ki te ra, ona waewae ki te pou kapura:

And I saw another strong angel coming down out of the heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head, and his countenance as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

2 I tona ringaringa hoki tetahi pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera ana: a ko tona waewae matau e takahi ana ki te moana, ko tona maui ki te whenua:

and having in his hand a little opened book. And he set his right foot on the sea, and the left upon the earth,

3 He nui ano tona reo ki te karanga, ano he raiona e tangi ana: a i te mea ka karanga ia, ka puaki nga reo o nga whatitiri e whitu.

and cried with a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.

4 A, no ka puaki nga reo o nga whatitiri e whitu, ka mea ahau ki te tuhituhi: na ka rangona e ahau he reo i te rangi e mea mai ana ki ahau, Hiritia nga mea kua whakapuakina nei e nga whatitiri e whitu, kaua hoki enei e tuhituhia.

And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.

5 Na ko te anahera i kitea ra e ahau e tu ana i runga i te moana i runga hoki i te whenua, whakaara ana i tona ringa matau ki te rangi,

And the angel whom I saw stand on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand to the heaven,

6 A oatitia ana e ia te Mea ora tonu ake ake, nana nei i hanga te rangi me ona mea, te whenua me ona mea, te moana me ona mea, kahore ake he taima: (aiōn g165)

and swore by him that lives to the ages of ages, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be no longer delay; (aiōn g165)

7 Engari i nga ra o te reo o te whitu o nga anahera, ina mea ia ki te whakatangi, ka whakaotia te mea ngaro a te Atua, tana rongopai i kauwhau ai ki ana pononga, ki nga poropiti.

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God also shall be completed, as he has made known the glad tidings to his own bondmen the prophets.

8 A ka korero ano ki ahau te reo i rongo ai ahau i te rangi, ka mea, Tikina atu te pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera na i te ringaringa o te anahera e tu na i runga i te moana, i runga ano i te whenua.

And the voice which I heard out of the heaven [was] again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth.

9 Na ka haere ahau ki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Homai ki ahau te pukapuka nohinohi na. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Tangohia, kainga; a ka kawa tou kopu, ka reka ia ki tou mangai, ano he honi.

And I went to the angel, saying to him to give me the little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.

10 Na ka tango ahau i te pukapuka nohinohi i te ringaringa o te anahera, kainga ana e ahau; a i reka ano ki toku mangai, ano he honi: no taku kainga, kua kawa toku kopu.

And I took the little book out of the hand of the angel, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth as honey, sweet; and when I had eaten it my belly was made bitter.

11 A ka mea mai ratou ki ahau, Me poropiti ano koe mo nga huihuinga tokomaha o nga tangata, o nga iwi, o nga reo, o nga kingi.

And it was said to me, Thou must prophesy again as to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.
