< Fakahā 8 >
1 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia ʻa hono fitu ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, naʻe ai ʻae fakalongo pē ʻi he langi ʻi he vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻe taha.
And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,
2 Pea ne u mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa lea ʻe fitu.
and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,
3 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe taha, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau, kuo ʻiate ia ʻae ʻaiʻanga afi koula; pea naʻe ʻatu ʻo lahi ʻae ʻakau namu kakala kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻatu ia fakataha mo e ngaahi lotu ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau koula, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,
4 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ki he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua mei he nima ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻae kohu ʻoe ʻakau namu kakala, pea mo e ngaahi lotu ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.
and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;
5 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻae ʻaiʻanga afi, pea ne fakapito ia ʻaki ʻae afi mei he ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne lī ia ki he fonua: pea naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi leʻo, mo e mana, mo e ʻuhila, mo e mofuike.
and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa lea ʻe fitu, naʻa nau teuteu ke ifi.
And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;
7 Naʻe ifi ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻāngelo, pea naʻe hoko ai ʻae ʻuha maka mo e afi ʻoku afu ʻaki ʻae toto, pea naʻe lī ia ki he fonua: pea naʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau, pea naʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ʻae mohuku mata kotoa pē.
and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.
8 Pea ifi ʻe hono ua ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea hangē naʻe lī ai ki tahi ha fuʻu moʻunga ʻoku vela ʻi he afi: pea naʻe liliu ʻo toto ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe tahi;
And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,
9 Pea ko hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe moʻui ʻi he tahi, naʻe mate ia; pea naʻe maumau hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi vaka.
and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Pea ifi ʻe hono tolu ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae fetuʻu lahi mei he langi, ʻoku ulo ʻo hangē ha tūhulu, pea naʻe tō ia ki hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi matavai;
And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,
11 Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe fetuʻu naʻe ui ko “Konaʻiʻī:” pea naʻe fakakona ai hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi vai; pea naʻe mate ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi vai, koeʻuhi naʻe fakakona ia.
and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono fā ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea tā hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe laʻā, mo hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe māhina, mo hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu; ko ia ne fakapoʻuli ai hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻokinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai maama ʻae ʻaho ʻi hono tolu ʻo hono vahe, pea naʻe pehē pe mo e pō foki.
And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine — the third of it, and the night in like manner.
13 Pea ne u vakai, peau ongoʻi ʻoku puna ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe taha ʻi he loto langi, ʻo ne pehē ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Malaʻia, malaʻia, malaʻia, ki he kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he maama, koeʻuhi ʻi hono toe ʻoe leʻo ʻoe meʻa lea ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻe toko tolu, ʻoku teʻeki ai ifi!”
And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, 'Woe, woe, woe, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.'
