Whakakitenga 19

1 Na, muri iho i enei mea ka rangona e ahau he reo nui me te mea no te mano tini i te rangi, e mea ana, Areruia; Ko te whakaoranga, ko te kororia, ko te honore, ko te kaha, kei te Ariki, kei to tatou Atua;

After these things I heard as it were a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah I The salvation, and the glory, and the power, belong to our God;

2 He pono hoki, he tika ana whakawa: kua whakawakia hoki e ia te wahine kairua, te mea nui, i he ai te whenua i tona moepuku, kua rapua ano e ia he utu i a ia mo nga toto o ana pononga.

for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 Na ka tuaruatia ano a ratou meatanga, Areruia. Heoi kake ake ana te paoa o taua pa ake ake. (aiōn g165)

And a second time they said, Hallelujah! and her smoke goeth up for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

4 A takoto ana nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha me nga mea ora e wha, koropiko ana ki te Atua e noho ana i runga i te torona, mea ana, Amine; Areruia.

And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen, hallelujah!

5 A ka puta mai he reo i te torona, e mea ana, Whakamoemiti ki to tatou Atua, e ana pononga katoa, e te hunga hoki e wehi ana i a ia, e te hunga iti, e te hunga nunui.

And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, the small and the great.

6 Na ka rangona e ahau me te mea he reo no te mano tini, me te mea he haruru no nga wai maha, me te mea he haruru no nga whatitiri kaha, e mea ana, Areruia: ka kingi hoki te Ariki, to tatou Atua, te Kaha Rawa.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! for the Lord our God the Almighty reigneth.

7 Kia hari tatou, kia nui rawa te koa, kia hoatu he kororia ki a ia: kua taea hoki te marena o te Reme, kua oti ano te whakapai a tana wahine i a ia ano.

Let us rejoice and exult, and we will give to him the glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready;

8 I tukua hoki ki a ia kia whakakakahuria ia ki te rinena pai, ki te rinena kanapa, parukore: na, ko te rinena pai ra, ko nga mahi tika a te hunga tapu.

and it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, shining and pure. For the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

9 I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tuhituhia, Ka hari te hunga kua karangatia ki te hapa o te marena o te Reme. Ka mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Ko nga kupu pono enei a te Atua.

And he saith to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage-supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true words of God.

10 Na ka takoto ahau ki mua i ona waewae, ka mea kia koropiko ki a ia. A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Kauaka: he hoa pononga hoki ahau no koutou ko ou tuakana kei a ratou nei te whakaatu o Ihu: me koropiko ki te Atua: ko te whakaatu hoki i a Ihu ta te wa irua o te poropititanga.

And I fell at his feet to worship him; and he saith to me, See thou do it not; I am a fellow-servant of thee, and of thy brethren who maintain the testimony to Jesus; worship God. For the testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 A ka kite ahau i te rangi e tuwhera ana, na, he hoiho ma; ko te ingoa hoki o tona kainoho ko te Pono, ko te Tika, kei runga i te tika tana whakawa, tana whawhai.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 A ko ona kanohi, ano he mura ahi, a i runga i tona matenga nga karauna maha; he ingoa hoki tona kua oti te tuhituhi, e kore nei tetahi e matau, ko ia anake.

His eyes were a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems; and he had names written, and a name written which no one knoweth but he himself;

13 Ko te kakahu i kakahuria e ia he mea tuku ki te toto: ko te ingoa i huaina ai ia ko te Kupu a te Atua.

and he was clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called, The Word of God.

14 A ko nga taua kei te rangi e aru ana i a ia i runga i nga hoiho ma, he mea whakakakahu ratou ki te rinena pai, he mea ma, parukore.

And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.

15 E puta mai ana hoki i roto i tona mangai he hoari koi, hei patu mana i nga tauiwi: he rino ano hoki te tokotoko e tohutohu ai ia i a ratou: e takahi ana hoki ia i te takahanga waina o te aritarita o te riri o te Atua Kaha Rawa.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he will rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of God Almighty.

16 He ingoa ano tona, tuhituhi rawa ki tona kakahu, ki tona huha, KO TE KINGI O NGA KINGI, KO TE ARIKI O NGA ARIKI.

And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 I kite ano ahau i tetahi anahera e tu ana i te ra; he nui ano tona reo ki te karanga, i mea ia ki nga manu katoa e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, haere mai, me huihui mai ki te hapa nui a te Atua;

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God;

18 Ki te kai i nga kikokiko o nga kingi, i nga kikokiko o nga rangatira mano, i nga kikokiko o te hunga kaha, i nga kikokiko o nga hoiho, o o ratou kainoho hoki, i nga kikokiko o nga tangata katoa, o nga mea ehara nei i te pononga, o nga pononga an o hoki, o te hunga nonohi, o te hunga nunui.

that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, lieth small and great.

19 A ka kite ahau i te kararehe, me nga kingi o te whenua, me a ratou taua, kua huihuia ki te whawhai ki tera e noho ra i runga i te hoiho, ki tana taua hoki.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 Na ka hopukina te kararehe raua tahi ko te poropiti teka i mahi ra i nga tohu ki tona aroaro, i pohehe ai te hunga i tango i te tohu a te kararehe, i koropiko hoki ki tona whakapakoko. Na panga oratia ana raua tokorua ki te roto kapura e ka ana i te whanariki. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

And the beast was seized and he who was with him, the false prophet who wrought the signs in his presence, with which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast, and who worshipped his image; the two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

21 Na, ko te hunga i toe, i whakamatea ki te hoari a tera e noho ra i runga i te hoiho, ki te hoari e puta mai nei i roto i tona mangai: a makona ana nga manu katoa i o ratou kikokiko.

And the rest were slain with the sword of him who sat upon the horse, the sword which proceeded out of his mouth; and all the birds were glutted with their flesh.
