Whakakitenga 16
1 A ka rongo ahau i te reo nui he mea no roto i te whare tapu e mea ana ki nga anahera e whitu, Haere koutou, ringihia nga oko e whitu o te riri o te Atua ki te whenua.
And I heard aloud voice, out of the sanctuary, saying unto the seven messengers—Go, and be pouring out the seven bowls of the wrath of God unto the earth.
2 Na haere ana te tuatahi, ringihia ana e ia tana oko ki te whenua; a kua pa he mariao kino whakarihariha ki nga tangata kei a ratou nei te tohu a te kararehe, ki te hunga hoki e koropiko ana ki tona whakapakoko.
And the first departed, and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came to be a baneful and painful ulcer, upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and them who were doing homage unto his image.
3 Na ka ringihia e te tuarua o nga anahera tana oko ki te moana; a ka meinga hei toto, ano no te tupapaku: a ka mate nga wairua ora katoa i roto i te moana.
And, the second, poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man, and, every living soul, died—as regardeth the things in the sea.
4 Na ka ringihia e te tuatoru o nga anahera tana oko ki nga awa, ki nga puna wai; a ka meinga hei toto.
And, the third, poured out his bowl into the rivers, and the fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 A ka rongo ahau i te anahera o nga wai e mea ana, Tika tonu koe, e te Ariki, tenei koe inaianei, i mua ano koe, ko te Mea Tapu hoki koe, nau hoki enei whakawa:
And I heard the messenger of the waters, saying—Righteous, art thou Who art, and Who wast, Who art full of lovingkindness, —in that, these things, thou hast adjudged;
6 I ringihia hoki e ratou nga toto o te hunga tapu, o nga poropiti, a hoatu ana e koe he toto ki a ratou kia inumia; he mea tika hoki ma ratou.
Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are!
7 I rongo hoki ahau i te aata e mea ana, Ae ra, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa, pono tonu, tika tonu au whakawa.
And I heard the altar, saying—Yea! Lord, God, the Almighty: True and righteous, are thy judgments!
8 Na ka ringihia e te tuawha o nga anahera tana oko ki te ra; a ka hoatu ki a ia kia tunua nga tangata ki te ahi.
And, the fourth, poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it, to scorch mankind with fire;
9 Na hunuhunua ana nga tangata e te wera nui: a ka kohukohu ratou ki te ingoa o te Atua, kei a ia nei te tikanga mo enei whiu; kihai hoki ratou i ripeneta, i hoatu i te kororia ki a ia.
and mankind were scorched with a great scorching heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who had authority over these plagues, and repented not to give him glory.
10 Na ka ringihia e te tuarima o nga anahera tana oko ki te torona o te kararehe; a ka whakapouritia tona rangatiratanga; a ngaua ana e nga tangata o ratou arero i te mamae,
And, the fifth, poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and they began to gnaw their tongues by reason of the pain, —
11 Kohukohua ana hoki e ratou te Atua o te rangi mo o ratou mamae, mo o ratou mariao, kihai ano ratou i ripeneta ki a ratou mahi.
and they blasphemed the God of heaven, by reason of their pain, and by reason of their ulcers, and repented not of their works.
12 Na ka ringihia e te tuaono o nga anahera tana oko ki te awa nui, ki Uparati; a mimiti ake tona wai, he mea kia rite ai te huarahi o nga kingi e haere mai i te rawhiti.
And, the sixth, poured out his bowl upon the great river: [the] Euphrates; and the water thereof, was dried up, that the way might be prepared, of the kings who were from the rising of the sun.
13 A i kite ahau i nga wairua poke e toru, te rite kei te poroka, e puta mai ana i te mangai o te tarakona, i te mangai hoki o te kararehe, i te mangai ano hoki o te poropiti teka:
And I saw, out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false-prophet, three impure spirits, as frogs;
14 Ko nga wairua hoki ratou o nga rewera, e mahi ana i nga tohu, e haere atu ana ki nga kingi o te whenua, o te ao katoa, ki te huihui i a ratou ki te whawhai i taua ra nui o te Atua Kaha Rawa.
for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which are to go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable earth, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.—
15 Nana, ka haere atu ahau, ano he tahae. Ka hari te tangata e mataara ana, e tiaki ana i ona kakahu, kei haere tahanga ia, kei kitea tona whakama.
Lo! I come as a thief! Happy, he that is watching, and keeping his garments, lest, naked, he be walking, and they see his shame.—
16 Na ka huihuia ratou e ia ki te wahi e huaina nei i te reo Hiperu ko Aramakerona.
And he gathered them together unto the place that is called, in Hebrew, Har Magedon.
17 Na ka ringihia e te anahera tuawhitu tana oko ki te takiwa o te rangi: a ka puta mai he reo nui i te whare tapu o te rangi, i te torona, e mea ana, Kua oti.
And, the seventh, poured out his bowl upon the air.—And there came forth a loud voice out of the sanctuary, from the throne, saying—Accomplished!
18 A ka puta mai he uira, he reo, he whatitiri; a ka puta he ru nui, kahore ano he ru i pera mai o te nohoanga o te tangata ki te whenua, tona nui, tona kaha.
And there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and, a great earthquake, took place, —such as had never taken place since men came to be on the earth, —such a mighty earthquake, so great;
19 Na ka wehea te pa nui, e toru nga wahi, a ka horo nga pa o nga tauiwi: ka maharatia hoki Papurona nui i te aroaro o te Atua, hoatu ana ki a ia te kapu o te waina o te aritarita o tona riri.
and the great city became [divided] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and, Babylon the Great, was brought into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger;
20 A rere atu ana nga motu katoa, kihai hoki i kitea nga maunga.
and, every island, fled, and, mountains, were not found.
21 I heke iho ano hoki i te rangi he whatu nui, ki runga ki nga tangata, kei to te taranata te taimaha o te whatu kotahi: a ka kohukohu nga tangata i te Atua mo te whiu a te whatu; he nui rawa hoki tana whiu.
And, great hail, as talents, cometh down out of heaven upon mankind; and men blasphemed God, by reason of the plague of hail, —because the plague thereof was, exceeding great.
