< Fakahā 6 >
1 Pea ne u vakai ʻi he vete ʻe he Lami ʻae meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe taha, pea ne u fanongo, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuʻulu ʻoe mana, pea ko e tokotaha ʻi he meʻa moʻui ʻe fā naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
And, when the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals, I looked, and I heard one of the four Animals say, as with a voice of thunder, Come, and see.
2 Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi hinehina pea naʻe ʻiate ia naʻe heka ai ʻae kaufana; pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae pale: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi he ikuna ki he ikuna.
And I looked, and there was a white horse: and he who sat on it, had a bow; and a coronet was given to him, and he went forth conquering, that he might conquer.
3 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono ua ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea u fanongo ki hono ua ʻoe meʻa moʻui, ʻoku pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second Animal say, Come.
4 Pea ʻalu atu ʻae hoosi ʻe taha naʻe kulokula: pea naʻe tuku kiate ia naʻe heka ai ke ne toʻo ʻae melino mei māmani, pea ke nau fetāmateʻaki ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae heletā lahi.
And there went forth another, a red horse; and to him who sat thereon, it was given, to take tranquillity from the earth; and that they should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
5 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono tolu ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea u fanongo ki hono tolu ʻoe meʻa moʻui, naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.” Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi ʻuliʻuli; pea naʻe ʻi he nima ʻo ia naʻe heka ai ʻae meʻa fakatatau.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third Animal say, Come, and see. And I looked, and lo, a black horse; and he that sat thereon, had a balance in his hand.
6 Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo, mei he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, naʻe pehē mai, “Ko e puha fua ʻoe uite ki he tenali ʻe taha, mo e puha fua ʻe tolu ʻoe paʻale ki he tenali ʻe taha; pea ʻoua naʻa ke maumauʻi ʻae lolo mo e uaine.”
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four Animals, saying: A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenices of barley for a denarius; and hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono fā ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, peau fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo hono fā ʻoe meʻa moʻui, naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth Animal say, Come, and see.
8 Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi tea: pea ko e hingoa ʻo ia naʻe heka ai ko e Mate, pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Hētesi. Pea naʻe tuku kiate kinaua ʻae mālohi ki hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻo māmani, ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e honge, mo e mate, pea mo e fanga manu fekai ʻoe fonua. (Hadēs )
And I looked, and lo, a pale horse; and the name of him who sat thereon was Death; and Hades followed after him. And there was given him authority over the fourth part of the earth, to slay with the sword, and by famine, and by death, and by the ravenous beast of the earth. (Hadēs )
9 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono nima ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, ne u mamata ʻi he lalo ʻesifeilaulau ki he ngaahi laumālie ʻokinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi koeʻuhi ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻa nau fai:
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them who were slain on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony to the Lamb which was with them.
10 Pea naʻa nau tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki māʻoniʻoni mo moʻoni, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa, mo hoʻo taʻefakamaau mo taʻetotongia homau toto kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he maama?”
And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord, thou holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻae kofu hinehina tōtōlofa; pea naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu, ke nau kei tatali ke fuoloa siʻi, kaeʻoua ke kātoa honau kaungā tamaioʻeiki mo honau kāinga, ʻakinautolu ʻe tāmateʻi ʻo hangē pe ko kinautolu.
And to each one of them was given a white robe; and it was told them, that they must be quiet yet a little while, until the consummation of their fellow-servants and brethren, who were to be killed as they had been.
12 Pea ne u mamata ʻi heʻene vete hono ono ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mofuike lahi; pea hoko ʻae laʻā ʻo ʻuliʻuli ʻo hangē ha tauangaʻa fulufulu, pea hoko ʻae māhina ʻo hangē ko e toto;
And I looked, when he had opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair; and the whole moon became like blood.
13 Pea naʻe mokulu ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi ki he fonua, ʻo hangē ko e lī hifo ʻe he fiki ʻa hono ngaahi kauloa, ʻoka lūluuʻi ia ʻe he matangi lahi.
And the stars of heaven fell on the earth, as a fig-tree casteth its unripe figs, when it is shaken by a strong wind.
14 Pea naʻe mole ʻae langi ʻo hangē ha tohi ʻoka tākai ia; pea ko e moʻunga mo e motu kotoa pē naʻe hiki mei honau potu.
And the heavens separated, as a book is rolled up: and all mountains and islands were removed out of their places.
15 Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea mo e ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e kau koloaʻia, mo e kau ʻeikitau, mo e kau mālohi, mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē, mo e kau tauʻatāina kotoa pē, naʻa nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi luo mo e ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga;
And the kings of the earth, and the nobles, and the captains of thousands, and the rich men, and the men of valor, and every servant and free man, hid themselves in caves, and in the clefts of the mountains;
16 Mo nau pehē ki he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngaahi maka, “Hinga mai kiate kimautolu, ʻo fufū ʻakimautolu mei he fofonga ʻo ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea mei he houhau ʻoe Lami:
and they said to the mountains and to the clefts, Fall over us, and hide us from the face of him who sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 He kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho lahi ʻo hono houhau; pea ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ai?”
For the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?
