1 And there was given to me a measuring rod: and one said, Go up and take the measure of the house of God, and the altar, and the worshippers in it.

2 But do not take the measure of the space outside the house; because it has been given to the nations: and the holy town will be under their feet for forty-two months.

3 And I will give orders to my two witnesses, and they will be prophets for a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed with haircloth.

4 These are the two olive-trees and the two lights, which are before the Lord of the earth.

5 And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death.

6 These have the power to keep the heaven shut, so that there may be no rain in the days when they are prophets: and they have power over the waters to make them into blood, and to send every sort of disease on the earth as their pleasure is.

7 And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death.

8 And their dead bodies will be in the open street of the great town, which in the spirit is named Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was put to death on the cross.

9 And the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will be looking on their dead bodies three days and a half, and will not let their dead bodies be put in the earth.

10 And those who are on the earth will have pleasure and delight over them; and they will send offerings one to another because these two prophets gave great trouble to all on the earth.

11 And after three days and a half the breath of life from God went into them, and they got up on their feet; and great fear came on those who saw them.

12 And a great voice from heaven came to their ears, saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and were seen by those desiring their death.

13 And in that hour there was a great earth-shock and a tenth part of the town came to destruction; and in the earth-shock seven thousand persons came to their end: and the rest were in fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second Trouble is past: see, the third Trouble comes quickly.

15 And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty rulers, who are seated before God on their high seats, went down on their faces and gave worship to God, saying,

17 We give you praise, O Lord God, Ruler of all, who is and who was; because you have taken up your great power and are ruling your kingdom.

18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time of reward for your servants, the prophets, and for the saints, and for those in whom is the fear of your name, small and great, and the time of destruction for those who made the earth unclean.

19 And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.

1 Na kua homai ki ahau he kakaho e rite ana ki te tokotoko: a ka mea mai tetahi, E ara, ka whanganga i te whare o te Atua, me te aata, me te hunga e koropiko ana i roto.

2 Me whakarere ia ki waho te marae i te taha ki waho o te whare tapu, kaua tera e whangangatia; kua hoatu hoki ki nga tauiwi: a e takatakahia e ratou te pa tapu, e wha tekau ma rua nga marama.

3 A maku e hoatu he tikanga ki aku kaiwhakaatu tokorua, e poropiti hoki raua, kotahi mano e rua rau e ono tekau nga ra, he taratara ano te kakahu.

4 Ko nga oriwa e rua enei, me nga turanga rama e rua, e tu nei i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua.

5 A ki te mea tetahi ki te tukino i a raua, ka puta mai he kapura i o raua mangai, e pau ai o raua hoariri: ki te mea hoki tetahi ki te tukino i a raua, ko te whakamatenga tenei mona.

6 Kei a raua te tikanga mo te kopani i te rangi, kia kaua e ua te ua i nga ra o ta raua poropititanga: kei a raua ano te tikanga mo te whakaputa ke i nga wai hei toto, mo te patu ano i te whenua ki nga patunga katoa, i nga wa e pai ai raua.

7 A, no ka mutu ta raua whakaatu, ka whawhai ki a raua te kararehe e haere ake ana i roto i te poka torere, a e taea raua e ia, e whakamatea raua.

8 Ka takoto ano o raua tinana ki te huarahi o te pa nui, e huaina wairuatia nei ko Horoma, ko Ihipa, ki te wahi hoki i ripekatia ai to raua Ariki.

9 A e toru nga ra me te hawhe e tirohia ai o raua tinana e nga huihuinga tangata, e nga hapu, e nga reo, e nga iwi, e kore ano hoki e tukua o raua tinana kia hoatu ki te urupa.

10 Ka koa hoki ki a raua te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ka harakoa, ka tapae taonga tetahi ki tetahi; no te mea i whakamamae enei poropiti tokorua i te hunga e noho ana ki te whenua.

11 A muri iho i aua ra e toru me te hawhe, ka uru te manawa ora ki a raua, he mea na te Atua, a ka tu o raua waewae ki runga; nui atu hoki te wehi i pa ki te hunga e titiro ana ki a raua.

12 A ka rongo raua i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana ki a raua, Haere ake korua ki konei. Na haere atu ana raua ki te rangi i roto i te kapua; me te matakitaki ano o raua hoariri ki a raua.

13 I taua haora ano ka puta he ru nui, ka hinga te wahi whakatekau o te pa; ko nga tangata i mate i taua ru e whitu mano: a ka wehi era atu, a hoatu ana e ratou he kororia ki te Atua o te rangi.

14 Kua pahemo te rua o nga Aue; na ka hohoro te toru o nga Aue te haere mai.

15 Na ka whakatangi te whitu o nga anahera; a ka whai i muri nga reo nunui i te rangi, e mea ana, kua riro te rangatiratanga o te ao hei rangatiratanga mo to tatou Ariki, mo tana karaiti hoki; ko ia ano hei kingi ake ake.

16 Na, ko nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha, e noho ra i te aroaro o te Atua i runga i o ratou torona, ka takoto ratou, ko o ratou kanohi ki raro, ka koropiko ki te Atua,

17 Ka mea, Ko ta matou whakawhetai tenei ki a koe, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa; tenei koe inaianei, a i mua ano koe, a kei te haere mai ano; no te mea kua riro i a koe tou mana nui, kua kingi ano koe.

18 I riri hoki nga iwi, a kua tae mai tou riri me te wa mo nga tupapaku e whakawakia ai, te wa hoki e hoatu ai e koe he utu ki au pononga, ki nga poropiti, ki te hunga tapu ano hoki, ki te hunga ano e wehi ana i tou ingoa, ki te hunga nonohi, ki te hunga nunui; e whakangaromia ai hoki te hunga e whakangaro nei i te whenua.

19 A i whakapuaretia ano te whare o te Atua i roto i te rangi, a ka kitea te aaka o tana kawenata i roto i tona whare: na, he uira tera, me nga reo, me nga whatitiri, me te ru, me te whatu nui.
