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 this I heard what sounded like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory 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 just are his judgments; he has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her fornication. He has avenged the blood of his servants shed by her hand.”
3 Na ka tuaruatia ano a ratou meatanga, Areruia. Heoi kake ake ana te paoa o taua pa ake ake. (aiōn g165)
A second time the voice said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever 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.
Then the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who sits 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 out from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and 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.
Then I heard what sounded like the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
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 be glad and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has 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.
To her it has been granted to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen is the righteous acts 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.
Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” He also said 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.
Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant of yoʋrs, and of yoʋr brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of 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.
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and wages 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 are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems. Names were written on him, including a name that no one knows 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.
He is clothed with a garment dipped in blood, and his name is 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.
The armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.
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.
Out of his mouth comes a sharp two-edged sword with which he can strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God, the 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.
On his garment and on his thigh is written the name: “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;
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that were flying directly overhead, “Come, gather together for 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.
so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both 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.
Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider 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)
But the beast was captured, and so was the false prophet who was with him, who in his sight performed the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (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.
The rest were killed by the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
