Whakakitenga 8

1 A i tana wahanga i te whitu o nga hiri, kahore he aha i rangona i te rangi me te mea kotahi te hawhe haora.

And when it opened the seventh seal, there was silence in the heaven about half an hour.

2 A ka kite ahau i nga anahera tokowhitu e tu ra i te aroaro o te Atua; a e whitu nga tetere i hoatu ki a ratou.

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

3 A ka haere mai tetahi atu anahera, ka tu ki runga o te aata, he tahu koura tana; a he maha nga whakakakara i hoatu ki a ia, hei tapiri mana ki nga inoi a te hunga tapu katoa ki runga ki te aata koura i mua i te torona.

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might give [efficacy] to the prayers of all saints at the golden altar which [was] before the throne.

4 A, ko te paoa o nga whakakakara me nga inoi a te hunga tapu, ka kake atu i te ringaringa o te anahera ki te aroaro o te Atua.

And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel before God.

5 A ka mau te anahera ki te tahu whakakakara, ka whakakiia ki te kapura o te aata, panga ana e ia ki te whenua: na ko te putanga mai o nga whatitiri, o nga reo, o nga uira, o te ru.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast [it] on the earth: and there were voices, and thunders and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 Na kua takatu nga anahera tokowhitu i nga tetere e whitu, ka mea ki te whakatangi.

And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they might sound with [their] trumpets.

7 Whakatangi ana te anahera tuatahi, na, he whatu tera, he kapura, he toto ano hoki i roto, ka panga ki te whenua: na kua pau i te ahi te wahi tuatoru o te whenua, kua pau i te ahi te wahi tuatoru o nga rakau, a pau ake hoki i te ahi nga tarutaru m atomato katoa.

And the first sounded [his] trumpet: and there was hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8 A ka whakatangi te rua o nga anahera, na, me te mea he maunga nui tera, e kaia ana e te ahi, kua maka ki te moana: a ka meinga te wahi tuatoru o te moana hei toto;

And the second angel sounded [his] trumpet: and as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood;

9 A mate iho te wahi tuatoru o nga mea hanga i roto i te moana, o nga mea whai ora; ngaro iho hoki te wahi tuatoru o nga kaipuke.

and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea which had life died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

10 A ka whakatangi te toru o nga anahera, na, kua taka iho i te rangi he whetu nui e ka ana, ano he rama, a taka ana ki te wahi tuatoru o nga awa, ki nga puna hoki o nga wai;

And the third angel sounded [his] trumpet: and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.

11 A ko te ingoa o te whetu ko Taru kawa: a ka meinga te wahi tuatoru o nga wai hei taru kawa; a he tokomaha nga tangata i mate i nga wai, no te mea kua kawa.

And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters because they were made bitter.

12 A ka whakatangi te wha o nga anahera, na, kua patua te wahi tuatoru o te ra, me te wahi tuatoru o te marama, me te wahi tuatoru hoki o nga whetu; kia pouri ai te wahi tuatoru o aua mea, kia kore ai e marama te wahi tuatoru o te ra, o te po ano h oki.

And the fourth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them should be darkened, and that the day should not appear [for] the third part of it, and the night the same.

13 A i kite ahau, i rongo hoki i tetahi ekara e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, he nui tona reo ki te mea mai, Aue, aue, aue, te mate mo te hunga e noho ana i runga i te whenua, i era reo o te tetere a nga anahera tokotoru, meake nei tangi!

And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell upon the earth, for the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound.
