Whakakitenga 12
1 Na ka kitea he tohu nui i te rangi; he wahine, ko te ra tona kakahu, ko te marama kei raro i ona waewae, i runga ano i tona matenga ko nga whetu kotahi tekau ma rua hei karaunga:
And ther appered a gret wonder in heve A woman clothed with the sunne and the mone vnder her fete and apon her heed a croune of xii. starres.
2 Kua hapu hoki ia, na karanga ana, oke ana, he mamae whanautanga.
And she was wt chylde and cryed travayllinge in byrth and payned redy to be delyvered.
3 A ka kitea tetahi atu tohu i te rangi, na, he tarakona nui, he mea whero, e whitu ona mahunga, tekau ona haona, e whitu ano nga karauna i runga i ona mahunga.
And ther appered another wonder in heven for beholde a gret red drago havynge. vii. heddes and ten hornes and crounes vpo his heddes:
4 A e kumea ana e tona hiku te wahi tuatoru o nga whetu o te rangi, maka ana e ia ki te whenua: a ka tu te tarakona i te aroaro o te wahine i mea nei ki te whanau, hei kai i tana tamaiti ina whanau.
and his tayle drue the thyrde parte of the starres and cast them to the erth. And the dragon stode before the woman which was reddy to be delyvred: for to devoure her chylde as sone as it were borne.
5 Na ka whanau te tamaiti a te wahine ra, he tane, ko ia hei whakahaere tikanga mo nga iwi katoa ki te tokotoko rino: na kua kahakina atu tana tamaiti ki te Atua, ki tona torona hoki.
And she brought forth a man chylde which shulde rule all nacions with a rode of yron And her sonne was taken vp vnto God and to his seate.
6 A ka oma te wahine ra ki te koraha, kua rite noa ake hoki i te Atua he kainga mona ki reira, ki reira whangainga ai ia, kia taka ra ano nga ra kotahi mano e rua rau e ona tekau.
And the woman fleed into wyldernes where she had a place prepared of god that they shulde fede her there a M. ii. C and lx. dayes.
7 Na he whawhai tera kei te rangi: ko Mikaera ratou ko ana anahera e whawhai ana ki te tarakona; whawhai ana hoki te tarakona ratou ko ana anahera;
And ther was grett battayll in heven Michael and his angells fowght with the dragon and the dragon fowght and his angelles
8 A kihai ratou i toa; kihai ano hoki to ratou wahi i kitea i te rangi i muri iho.
and prevaylled not: nether was their place founde eny more in heven.
9 Na ka maka te tarakona nui, te nakahi onamata, e huaina nei ko te Rewera, ko Hatana hoki, e whakapohehe nei i te ao katoa: ka maka ia ki te whenua, a i maka tahitia ana anahera me ia.
And the grett dragon that olde serpent called the devyll and Sathanas was cast out. Which desceaveth all the worlde. And he was cast into the erth and his angelles were cast out also.
10 A ka rongo ahau i te reo nui i te rangi e ki ana, Tenei kua tae mai te whakaoranga, te kaha, me te rangatiratanga o to tatou Atua, me te mana hoki o tana Karaiti: no te mea kua whakataka te kaiwhakapae ki o tatou teina, e whakapae nei ki a ratou i te ao, i te po, i te aroaro o to tatou Atua.
And I harde a lowde voyce sayinge: in heve is nowe made salvacio and strengthe and ye kyngdome of oure God and the power of his Christ For he is cast doune which accused them before god daye and nyght.
11 Hinga ana ia i a ratou, he meatanga na nga toto o te Reme, na te kupu hoki o ta ratou whakaatu: kihai ratou i aroha ki te ora mo ratou, a mate noa.
And they overcame him by the bloude of the lambe and by the worde of their testimony and they loved not their lyves vnto the deeth.
12 Kia hari koutou ki tenei, e nga rangi, e te hunga hoki e noho ana i reira. Aue te mate mo te whenua, mo te moana hoki! Kua heke atu hoki ki a koutou te rewera, nui atu hoki tona riri, no te mea kua matau ia he poto tona taima.
Therfore reioyce hevens and ye that dwell in them. Woo to the inhabiters of the erth and of the see: for ye devyll is come doune vnto you which hath greet wrath because he knoweth that he hath but a short tyme.
13 A, no ka kite te tarakona kua maka ia ki te whenua, ka whakatoia e ia te wahine nana te tamaiti tane i whanau nei.
And when the dragon sawe that he was caste vnto the erth he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man chylde.
14 Na e rua nga pakau o te ekara nui kua hoatu ki te wahine, kia rere ai ia ki te koraha, ki tona kainga, ki reira whangainga ai a taka noa he taima, etahi taima, me te hawhe taima, kei kitea mai e te nakahi.
And to the woman were geven two wynges of a great egle that she myght flye into the wyldrenes into her place where she is norysshed for a tyme tymes and halffe a tyme from the presence of the sarpent.
15 Na ka whakaruakina mai e te nakahi i tona mangai i muri i te wahine ra he wai, ano he awa, kia kahakina atu ai ia e te awa.
And the dragon cast out of his mouth water after the woman as it had bene a ryver because she hulde have bene caught of the floud.
16 A ka awhinatia mai te wahine e te whenua, ka hamama te mangai o te whenua, inumia ake te awa i whakaruakina nei e te tarakona i roto i tona mangai.
And the erth holpe the woman and the erth opened her mouth and swalowed vp the rever which the dragon cast out of hys mouth.
17 A riri ana te tarakona ki te wahine; haere ana ia ki te whawhai ki era atu o tana whanau, ki te hunga e pupuri ana i nga ture a te Atua, kei a ratou nei te whakaatu o Ihu Karaiti.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman: and went and made warre with the remnaunt of hyr sede which kepe the commaundmentes of god and have the testimony of Iesus Christe. And I stode on the see sonde.
