Whakakitenga 5

1 A i kite ano ahau i te ringa matau o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, he pukapuka kua oti te tuhituhi a roto, a tua hoki, he mea hiri ki nga hiri e whitu.

And I sawe in the right honde of him that sat in ye trone a boke written with in and on the backside sealyd with vii. seales.

2 A i kite ahau i tetahi anahera kaha e karanga ana, he nui te reo, Ko wai e tika ana hei whakatuwhera i te pukapuka, hei wawahi i ona hiri?

And I sawe a stronge angell which cryed with a loude voyce: Who is worthy to open the boke and to loose the seales therof.

3 A kihai i taea e tetahi i te rangi, i te whenua ranei, i raro ranei i te whenua, te whewhera i te pukapuka, te titiro ranei ki reira.

And no man in heven ner in erth nether vnder the erth was able to open the boke nether to loke thereon.

4 Na nui atu toku tangi, no te mea kihai i kitea tetahi e tika ana hei whewhera i te pukapuka, hei titiro iho ranei ki reira:

And I wepte moche because no man was founde worthy to open and to rede the boke nether to loke thereon.

5 Na ka mea mai tetahi o nga kaumatua ki ahau, Kaua e tangi, na, kua riro te wikitoria i te Raiona o te hapu o Hura, i te Putake o Rawiri, mana e whakatuwhera te pukapuka, e wawahi ona hiri e whitu.

And one of the elders sayde unto me: wepe not: Beholde a lion beinge of the tribe of Iuda the rote of Dauid hath obtayned to open the boke and to lose the vii. seales therof.

6 A i kite ano ahau, na, i waenganui o te torona, o nga mea ora hoki e wha, i waenganui ano hoki o nga kaumatua, he Reme e tu ana, te ahua kei to te mea i whakamatea, e whitu ona haona, e whitu nga kanohi; ko nga Wairua e whitu enei o te Atua, kua tonoa nei puta noa i te ao.

And I behelde and loo in the myddes of the seate and of the. iiii. bestes and in the myddes of the elders stode a lambe as though he had bene kylled which had vii. hornes and vii. eyes which are the spretes of God sent into all the worlde.

7 Na ka haere atu ia, ka tango i te pukapuka i roto i te matau o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona.

And he cam and toke the boke oute of the right honde of him that sate apon the seate.

8 A, no ka tango ia i te pukapuka, ka hinga iho nga mea ora e wha, me nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha, ki te aroaro o te Reme, he hapa i tetahi, i tetahi o ratou, me nga oko koura ki tonu i nga mea kakara, ko nga inoi era a te hunga tapu.

And when he had take the boke the. iiii. bestes and xxiiii. elders fell doune before the labe havynge harpes and golden vialles full of odoures which are the prayers of saynctes

9 Na ka waiata ratou i te waiata hou, ka mea, Pai tonu koe hei tango i te pukapuka, hei wahi i ona hiri: i whakamatea hoki koe, a hokona ana matou e koe hei hunga ma te Atua ki ou toto, i roto i nga hapu, i nga reo, i nga huihuinga tangata, i nga i wi katoa;

and they songe a newe songe saynge: thou art worthy to take ye boke and to ope ye seales therof: for thou waste kylled and haste redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynreddes and tonges and people and nacions

10 A meinga ana ratou e koe hei kingi, hei tohunga ki to matou Atua: ka kingi ano ratou ki runga ki te whenua.

and haste made vs vnto oure god kynges and prestes and we shall raygne on the erth.

11 Na i kite ahau, i rongo hoki ahau i te reo o nga anahera maha i nga taha katoa o te torona, o nga mea ora hoki, o nga kaumatua: na ko to ratou tokomaha kei nga mano tekau mano tekau, me nga mano mano;

And I behelde and I herd the voyce of many angylles aboute the trone and about the bestes and the elders and I herde thousand thousandes

12 Nui atu to ratou reo ki te mea mai, Pai tonu te Reme i whakamatea hei tango i te kaha, i te taonga, i te matauranga, i te mana, i te honore, i te kororia, i te whakapai.

saynge wt a lowde voyce: Worthy is the lambe that was killed to receave power and riches and wisdom and strenghte and honoure and glory and blyssynge.

13 I rongo ano ahau ki nga mea hanga katoa o te rangi, o te whenua, i raro ano hoki i te whenua, ki era hoki i te moana, ki nga mea katoa o reira, e mea ana, Waiho atu i tenei e noho nei i runga i te torona, i te Reme hoki, te whakapai, te honore, te kororia, te kaha a ake ake. (aiōn g165)

And all creatures which are in heven and on the erth and vnder the erth and in the see and all that are in them herd I sayinge: blyssinge honour glory and power be vnto hym that sytteth apon the seate and vnto the lambe for ever more. (aiōn g165)

14 Na ka mea nga mea ora e wha, Amine. A ka hinga iho nga kaumatua, ka koropiko.

And the. iiii. bestes sayd: Ame. And the. xxiiii. elders fell apon their faces and worshypped him that lyveth for ever more.
