Whakakitenga 20
1 A ka kite ahau i tetahi anahera e heke iho ana i te rangi, kei a ia te ki o te poka torere, me tetahi mekameka nui i tona ringaringa. (Abyssos g12)
And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the great deep and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
2 Na ka mau ia ki te tarakona, ki te nakahi onamata, ko te Rewera nei ia, ko Hatana hoki, ka herehere i a ia kotahi mano nga tau;
And he took the dragon, the old snake, which is the Evil One and Satan, and put chains on him for a thousand years,
3 Ka maka i a ia ki te poka torere, uakina ana, whakapiri rawa te hiri ki runga ki a ia, kei whakapohehe ia i nga tauiwi i muri iho, kia taka ra ano nga tau kotahi mano: a muri iho i enei mea me wewete ia, he taima iti kau ia. (Abyssos g12)
And put him into the great deep, and it was shut and locked over him, so that he might put the nations in error no longer, till the thousand years were ended: after this he will be let loose for a little time. (Abyssos g12)
4 I kite ano ahau i nga torona, e noho ana hoki ratou i runga, i hoatu ano hoki te whakawa ki a ratou: i nga wairua hoki o te hunga i poutoa mo te whakaaturanga i a Ihu, mo te kupu hoki a te Atua, te hunga kahore i koropiko ki te kararehe, ki tona whakapakoko ranei, kihai hoki i meatia te tohu ki o ratou rae, ki o ratou ringaringa; na ka ora ratou, ka kingi tahi me te Karaiti, kotahi mano tau.
And I saw high seats, and they were seated on them, and the right of judging was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who were put to death for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who did not give worship to the beast, or to his image, and had not his mark on their brows or on their hands; and they were living and ruling with Christ a thousand years.
5 Kihai ia i ora ake te toenga o nga tupapaku, a taka noa nga tau kotahi mano. Ko te aranga tuatahi tenei.
The rest of the dead did not come to life again till the thousand years were ended. This is the first coming back from the dead.
6 Hari tonu, tapu tonu te tangata he wahi nei tona i te aranga tuatahi: e kore te matenga tuarua e whai mana ki a ratou; engari hei tohunga ratou ma te Atua, ma te Karaiti hoki, a kotahi mano nga tau e kingi tahi ai ratou me ia.
Happy and holy is he who has a part in this first coming: over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will be ruling with him a thousand years.
7 A, no ka pahemo nga tau kotahi mano, ka wetekina a Hatana i roto i tona whare herehere.
And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose out of his prison,
8 A ka haere ia ki te whakapohehe i nga tauiwi i nga pito e wha o te whenua, i a Koka raua ko Makoka, e huihui ai ratou ki te taua: ko te tokomaha o ratou rite tonu ki te onepu o te moana.
And will go out to put in error the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to get them together to the war, the number of whom is like the sands of the sea.
9 Na haere ana ratou ki te whanui o te whenua, karapotia ana e ratou te nohoanga o te hunga tapu, me te pa e arohaina ana: na ko te hekenga iho o te kapura i te Atua i te rangi, pau ake ratou.
And they went up over the face of the earth, and made a circle about the tents of the saints, and the well loved town: and fire came down out of heaven for their destruction.
11 A ka kite ahau i tetahi torona nui, ma, i tetahi hoki e noho ana i runga, rere ana te whenua me te rangi i tona kanohi; kahore hoki i kitea he wahi mo raua.
And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them.
12 I kite ano ahau i te hunga mate, i te hunga nunui, i te hunga ririki, e tu ana i mua o te torona; na kua whakatuwheratia nga pukapuka; kua whakatuwheratia ano hoki tetahi atu pukapuka, ko te pukapuka o te ora: kei nga mea hoki i tuhituhia ki aua pukapuka he whakawa mo te hunga mate, he mea whakarite tonu ki a ratou mahi.
And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works.
13 I tukua mai ano e te moana te hunga mate i roto i a ia; i tukua mai hoki e te mate, e te po, te hunga mate i roto i a raua: na ka whakawakia tena tangata, tena, he mea whakarite ki a ratou mahi. (Hadēs g86)
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man by his works. (Hadēs g86)
