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 saw, and lo! the Lamb, standing upon the mount Zion, —and, with him, a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and his Father’s name written upon 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:

And I heard a sound out of heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of, loud thunders; and, the sound which I heard, was as of harp-singers harping with 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.

And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And, no one, was able to learn the song, save the hundred and forty-four thousand, who had been redeemed from 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 they, who with women, were not defiled, for they are, virgin. These, are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he is going. These, were redeemed from mankind, as a firstfruit unto God and the Lamb;

5 Kahore hoki he tinihanga i mau i o ratou mangai: he kohakore ratou, i mua i te torona a te Atua.

and, in their mouth, was found no falsehood, —faultless, they are.

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 g166)

And I saw another messenger, flying in mid-heaven, having an age-abiding glad-message to announce unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, even unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people, (aiōnios g166)

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.

saying with a loud voice, —Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judging is come; and do homage unto him that made heaven and the earth and sea and fountains 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.

And, another, a second [messenger] followed, saying—Fallen! fallen! is Babylon the great, who, of the wine of the wrath of her lewdness, hath caused all the nations to drink.

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,

And, another, a third messenger, followed them, saying with a loud voice—If anyone doeth homage unto the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark upon his forehead, or upon 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, shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared, unmixed, in the cup of his anger; —and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, before holy messengers and before 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 g165)

And, the smoke of their torment, unto ages of ages, ascendeth; And they have no rest day or night, who do homage unto the beast and his image, or if anyone receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn g165)

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 endurance of the saints, —they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

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.

And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying—Write! Happy, the dead who, in the Lord, do die, from henceforth. Yea! (saith the Spirit) that they may rest from their toils, for, their works, do 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 saw, and lo! a white cloud, and, upon the cloud, one sitting like unto a son of man, having, upon his head, a crown of gold, 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;

And, another messenger, came forth out of the sanctuary, crying out with a loud voice, unto him that was sitting upon the cloud—Thrust in thy sickle, and reap; because the hour to reap is come, because 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.

And he that was sitting upon the cloud, thrust in, his sickle upon 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.

And, another messenger, came forth out of the sanctuary that is in heaven, —he also, having 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.

And, another messenger, [came forth] out of the altar, who hath authority over the fire, —and called out with a loud voice, unto him who had the sharp sickle, saying—Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; because the grapes thereof 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.

And the messenger, thrust in, his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great wine-press 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.

And the wine-press was trodden outside the city, and there came forth blood out of the wine-press, even unto the bits of the horses, at a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs.
