Fakahā 15
1 Pea ne u mamata ki he fakaʻilonga ʻe taha ʻi he langi, naʻe lahi mo fakaofo, ko e ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu, kuo ʻi ai ʻae malaʻia fakaʻosi ʻe fitu; he kuo fakakakato ʻi ai ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua.
Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
2 Pea ne u mamata, pea naʻe hangē ha tahi sioʻata, ʻoku fefiofi mo e afi: pea ko kinautolu kuo nau ikuna ʻae manu fekai, mo hono fakatātā, mo hono fakaʻilonga, mo e lau ʻo hono hingoa, ʻoku nau tutuʻu ʻi he tahi sioʻata, kuo ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi haʻape ʻoe ʻOtua.
I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
3 Pea ʻoku nau hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, mo e hiva ʻoe Lami, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku lahi mo fakaofo ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, ʻE ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi; ʻOku angatonu mo moʻoni ʻa ho ngaahi hala, ʻA koe ko e Tuʻi ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.
They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
4 Ko hai ʻe taʻemanavahē kiate koe, ʻe ʻEiki, mo taʻefakahikihikiʻi ho huafa? He ko koe pe ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: He koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻo hū ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē; He kuo fakahā ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.”
O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
5 Pea hili ia, ne u mamata, pea vakai, kuo matoʻo ʻae potu tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻi he langi:
After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
6 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu mei he fale tapu, kuo ʻiate kinautolu ʻae malaʻia ʻe fitu, kuo nau kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu naʻe maʻa mo hinehina, pea nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi noʻo koula ʻi honau fatafata.
The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
7 Pea ko e tokotaha ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe toko fā, naʻa ne ʻatu ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu ʻae hina koula ʻe fitu, kuo pito ʻi he houhau ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. (aiōn g165)
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
8 Pea naʻe fakapito ʻae fale tapu ʻaki ʻae kohu mei he nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mei hono mālohi: pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he taha ke hū ki he fale tapu, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae malaʻia ʻe fitu naʻe ʻi he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu.
The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
