< Whakakitenga 14 >
1 A i kite ano ahau, na, ko te Reme e tu ana i Maunga Hiona, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha mano ona hoa, ko tona ingoa, me te ingoa o tona Matua, he mea tuhituhi ki o ratou rae.
And I looked, and suddenly on Mount Tsehyun the Lamb standing, and with him one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
2 Na ka rongo ahau i te reo i te rangi, tona rite kei te haruru o nga wai maha, kei te haruru ano o te whatitiri nui: a ko te reo i rongo ai ahau, ano ko te reo o nga kaiwhakatangi hapa e whakatangi ana i a ratou hapa:
I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
3 A ko ta ratou waiata me te mea he waiata hou i mua i te torona, i mua hoki i nga mea ora e wha, i nga kaumatua ano hoki; e kore hoki e taea e tetahi te ako taua waiata, ko nga mano anake kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha, kua oti nei te hoko i runga i te whenua.
They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
4 Ko te hunga tenei kahore nei i poke i te wahine; he wahine hoki ratou. Ko te hunga tenei e aru ana i te Reme ki nga wahi katoa e haere ai ia. He mea hoko enei i roto i nga tangata, he matamua ki te Atua, ki te Reme hoki.
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among humanity, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
5 Kahore hoki he tinihanga i mau i o ratou mangai: he kohakore ratou, i mua i te torona a te Atua.
In their mouth was found no lie; they are blameless.
6 I kite ano ahau i tetahi atu anahera e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, kei a ia te rongopai mau tonu hei kauwhau mana ki te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ki nga iwi katoa, ki nga hapu, ki nga reo, ki nga huihuinga tangata; (aiōnios )
I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having an everlasting Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people. (aiōnios )
7 A he nui tona reo ki te mea, Kia wehi koutou ki te Atua, hoatu ki a ia he kororia; kua tae mai hoki te haora o tana whakawa: koropiko atu hoki ki a ia, ki te Kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua, o te moana, o nga puna wai.
He said with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters."
8 I aru mai ano tetahi atu anahera, i mea, Kua horo, kua horo a Papurona, te pa nui, i whakainu nei i nga tauiwi katoa ki te waina o te riri o tona moepuku.
Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."
9 I aru mai ano te toru o nga anahera i a raua, nui atu tona reo ki te mea mai, Ki te koropiko tetahi ki te kararehe, ki tona whakapakoko hoki, ka tango hoki i te tohu ki tona rae, ki tona ringaringa ranei,
Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand,
10 E inu ano ia i te waina o te riri o te Atua, e ringihia nei, he mea kahore i whakananua, ki roto ki te kapu o tona riri; e whakamamaetia hoki ia i roto i te kapura, i te whanariki i te aroaro o nga anahera tapu, i te aroaro hoki o te Reme:
he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
11 A kake ana te paoa o to ratou whakamamaetanga ake ake: kahore hoki he okiokinga i te ao, i te po, mo te hunga e koropiko ana ki te kararehe, ki tona whakapakoko hoki, mo te tangata hoki e tango ana i te tohu o tona ingoa. (aiōn )
The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. (aiōn )
12 Tenei te manawanui o te hunga tapu, o te hunga e pupuri ana i nga ture a te Atua, i te whakapono hoki o Ihu.
Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua."
13 A ka rongo ahau i tetahi reo i te rangi e mea ana, Tuhituhia, Ka hari nga tupapaku e mate nei i roto i te Ariki i nga wa i muri nei: ae ra, e ai ta te Wairua, kia okioki ai ratou i a ratou mahi; e aru tahi hoki a ratou mahi i a ratou.
I heard the voice from heaven saying, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Rukha, "that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them."
14 A ka kite ano ahau, na, he kapua ma; a i runga i te kapua e noho ana tetahi, tona rite kei te Tama a te tangata, i runga ano i tona mahunga he karaunga koura, i roto i tona ringaringa he toronaihi koi.
And I looked, and suddenly there was a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 Na ka puta mai tetahi atu anahera i te whare tapu, he nui tona reo ki te karanga ki tera e noho ra i runga i te kapua, Akina iho tau toronaihi, kotia; kua tae hoki te wa e kokoti ai: kua maroke ke hoki te witi o te ao;
Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
16 Katahi tera e noho ra i runga i te kapua ka aki iho i tana toronaihi ki te whenua, a ka kotia te whenua.
He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 A ka puta mai ano he anahera i roto i te whare tapu i te rangi, he toronaihi koi ano hoki tana.
Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.
18 Na ka puta mai ano tetahi atu anahera i roto i te aata, kei a ia he mana ki te kapura; he nui tona reo ki te karanga ki tera i te toronaihi koi, i mea ia, Akina iho tau toronaihi koi, tapahia nga tautau waina o te whenua; kua maoa hoki ona karep e.
Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe."
19 Na akina iho ana tana toronaihi e te anahera ki te whenua, tapahia ana e ia te waina o te whenua, panga ana e ia, ki te takahanga nui o te riri o te Atua.
The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 Na ka takahia te takahanga waina i waho o te pa, a puta ake ana he toto i roto i te takahanga, tae noa ake ki nga paraire o nga hoiho, a taea noatia nga paronga kotahi mano e ono rau.
The winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one hundred eighty four miles.
