Whakakitenga 6
1 A i kite ahau i te wahanga o tetahi o nga hiri e te Reme, i rongo hoki i tetahi o nga mea ora e wha e mea mai ana, ano he reo whatitiri, Haere mai.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, Come [and see].
2 I kite ano ahau, na, he hoihoi ma: a ko te tangata e noho ana i runga he kopere tana; a ka hoatu he karauna ki a ia: a haere atu ana ia i runga i te wikitoria ki te wikitoria.
And I saw: and behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon it having a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and that he might conquer.
3 A i tana wahanga i te rua o nga hiri ka rongo ahau i te rua o nga mea ora e mea ana, Haere mai.
And when it opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come [and see].
4 Na ka puta mai tetahi hoiho ano, he hoiho whero: a i hoatu ki te kainoho i runga kia tangohia atu e ia te rangimarie i runga i te whenua, kia patu ai ratou tetahi i tetahi: i hoatu ano hoki he hoari nui ki a ia.
And another, a red horse, went forth; and to him that sat upon it, to him it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
5 A i tana wahanga i te toru o nga hiri ka rongo ahau i te toru o nga mea ora e mea ana, Haere mai. A i kite ahau, na, he hoiho mangu; me te kainoho i runga he pauna taimaha tana kei tona ringaringa.
And when it opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come [and see]. And I saw: and behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon it having a balance in his hand.
6 A ka rongo ahau i te reo, ano i waenganui o nga mea ora e wha, e mea ana, He kuata witi mo te pene, e toru kuata parei mo te pene; kei kino hoki tau mahi ki te hinu, ki te waina.
And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius: and do not injure the oil and the wine.
7 A i tana wahanga i te wha o nga hiri, ka rongo ahau i te reo o te wha o nga mea ora, e mea ana, Haere mai.
And when it opened the fourth seal, I heard [the voice of] the fourth living creature saying, Come [and see].
8 A ka kite ahau, na, he hoiho ha ma: a ko te kainoho i runga, tona ingoa ko te Mate, me te aru ano te Reinga i a ia. Na i hoatu ki a raua te tikanga ki te tuawha o nga wahi o te whenua, kia whakamatea ki te hoari, ki te matekai, ki te mate turoro, ki nga kararehe hoki o te whenua. (Hadēs g86)
And I saw: and behold, a pale horse, and he that sat upon it, his name [was] Death, and hades followed with him; and authority was given to him over the fourth of the earth to slay with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 A i tana wahanga i te rima o nga hiri, ka kitea e ahau i raro i te aata nga wairua o te hunga i whakamatea mo te kupu a te Atua, mo ta ratou whakaatu hoki:
And when it opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held;
10 Nui atu to ratou reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Kia pehea te roa, e te Ariki, e te tapu, e te pono, a kore ana koe e whakawa, e rapu utu mo o matou toto, i te hunga e noho ana i runga i te whenua?
and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O sovereign Ruler, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell upon the earth?
11 A i hoatu he kakahu ma ki tenei, ki tenei o ratou; a i kiia atu ki a ratou, kia okioki ratou he wa iti nei, kia rite ra ano o ratou hoa pononga me o ratou teina, i meinga nei kia patua, kia peratia me ratou.
And there was given to them, to each one a white robe; and it was said to them that they should rest yet a little while, until both their fellow-bondmen and their brethren, who were about to be killed as they, should be fulfilled.
12 A ka kite ahau i tana wahanga i te ono o nga hiri, na, ko te ru nui; a ka mangu te ra ano he kakahu taratara, puhuruhuru, a ko te marama pena katoa i te toto;
And I saw when it opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood,
13 A ka taka iho nga whetu o te rangi, ano he piki e whakangahoro nei i ona hua koriri, ina rurea ia i te hau nui.
and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, casts its unseasonable figs.
14 Na ka tahia atu te rangi me te pukapuka e whakakopaia ana; a ka nekehia atu nga maunga katoa me nga motu i o ratou turanga.
And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were removed out of their places.
15 Na, ko nga kingi o te whenua, ko nga tangata nunui, ko nga tangata taonga, ko nga rangatira mano, ko nga tangata kaha, ko nga pononga katoa, me nga rangatira katoa, piri ana ratou ki roto ki nga ana, ki nga toka o nga maunga;
And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the chiliarchs, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 Me te ki ake ano ratou ki nga maunga, ki nga toka, E hinga ki runga ki a matou, hei huna i a matou i te kanohi o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, i te riri hoki o te Reme:
and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and have us hidden from [the] face of him that sits upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
17 Kua taea hoki te ra nui o tona riri; a ko wai e tu?
because the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand?
