1 After these things there came to my ears a sound like the voice of a great band of people in heaven, saying, Praise to the Lord; salvation and glory and power be to our God:

2 For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants.

3 And again they said, Praise to the Lord. And her smoke went up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty rulers and the four beasts went down on their faces and gave worship to God who was seated on the high seat, saying, Even so, praise to the Lord.

5 And a voice came from the high seat, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants, small and great, in whom is the fear of him.

6 And there came to my ears the voice of a great army, like the sound of waters, and the sound of loud thunders, saying, Praise to the Lord: for the Lord our God, Ruler of all, is King.

7 Let us be glad with delight, and let us give glory to him: because the time is come for the Lamb to be married, and his wife has made herself ready.

8 And to her it was given to be clothed in delicate linen, clean and shining: for the clean linen is the righteousness of the saints.

9 And he said to me, Put in the book, Happy are the guests at the bride-feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God.

10 And I went on my face before his feet to give him worship. And he said to me, See you do it not: I am a brother-servant with you and with your brothers who keep the witness of Jesus: give worship to God: for the witness of Jesus is the spirit of the prophet's word.

11 And the heaven was open; and I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it was named Certain and True; and he is judging and making war in righteousness.

12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and crowns are on his head; and he has a name in writing, of which no man has knowledge but himself.

13 And he is clothed in a robe washed with blood: and his name is The Word of God.

14 And the armies which are in heaven went after him on white horses, clothed in delicate linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which he overcomes the nations: and he has rule over them with a rod of iron: and he is crushing with his feet the grapes of the strong wrath of God the Ruler of all.

16 And on his robe and on his leg is a name, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 And I saw an angel taking his place in the sun; and he was crying with a loud voice, saying to all the birds in flight in the heavens, Come together to the great feast of God;

18 So that you may take for your food the flesh of kings, and of captains, and of strong men, and of horses and of those who are seated on them, and the flesh of all men, free and unfree, small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, come together to make war against him who was seated on the horse and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, by which they were turned from the true way who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image: these two were put living into the sea of ever-burning fire.

21 And the rest were put to death with the sword of him who was on the horse, even the sword which came out of his mouth: and all the birds were made full with their flesh.

1 Na, muri iho i enei mea ka rangona e ahau he reo nui me te mea no te mano tini i te rangi, e mea ana, Areruia; Ko te whakaoranga, ko te kororia, ko te honore, ko te kaha, kei te Ariki, kei to tatou Atua;

2 He pono hoki, he tika ana whakawa: kua whakawakia hoki e ia te wahine kairua, te mea nui, i he ai te whenua i tona moepuku, kua rapua ano e ia he utu i a ia mo nga toto o ana pononga.

3 Na ka tuaruatia ano a ratou meatanga, Areruia. Heoi kake ake ana te paoa o taua pa ake ake.

4 A takoto ana nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha me nga mea ora e wha, koropiko ana ki te Atua e noho ana i runga i te torona, mea ana, Amine; Areruia.

5 A ka puta mai he reo i te torona, e mea ana, Whakamoemiti ki to tatou Atua, e ana pononga katoa, e te hunga hoki e wehi ana i a ia, e te hunga iti, e te hunga nunui.

6 Na ka rangona e ahau me te mea he reo no te mano tini, me te mea he haruru no nga wai maha, me te mea he haruru no nga whatitiri kaha, e mea ana, Areruia: ka kingi hoki te Ariki, to tatou Atua, te Kaha Rawa.

7 Kia hari tatou, kia nui rawa te koa, kia hoatu he kororia ki a ia: kua taea hoki te marena o te Reme, kua oti ano te whakapai a tana wahine i a ia ano.

8 I tukua hoki ki a ia kia whakakakahuria ia ki te rinena pai, ki te rinena kanapa, parukore: na, ko te rinena pai ra, ko nga mahi tika a te hunga tapu.

9 I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tuhituhia, Ka hari te hunga kua karangatia ki te hapa o te marena o te Reme. Ka mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Ko nga kupu pono enei a te Atua.

10 Na ka takoto ahau ki mua i ona waewae, ka mea kia koropiko ki a ia. A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Kauaka: he hoa pononga hoki ahau no koutou ko ou tuakana kei a ratou nei te whakaatu o Ihu: me koropiko ki te Atua: ko te whakaatu hoki i a Ihu ta te wa irua o te poropititanga.

11 A ka kite ahau i te rangi e tuwhera ana, na, he hoiho ma; ko te ingoa hoki o tona kainoho ko te Pono, ko te Tika, kei runga i te tika tana whakawa, tana whawhai.

12 A ko ona kanohi, ano he mura ahi, a i runga i tona matenga nga karauna maha; he ingoa hoki tona kua oti te tuhituhi, e kore nei tetahi e matau, ko ia anake.

13 Ko te kakahu i kakahuria e ia he mea tuku ki te toto: ko te ingoa i huaina ai ia ko te Kupu a te Atua.

14 A ko nga taua kei te rangi e aru ana i a ia i runga i nga hoiho ma, he mea whakakakahu ratou ki te rinena pai, he mea ma, parukore.

15 E puta mai ana hoki i roto i tona mangai he hoari koi, hei patu mana i nga tauiwi: he rino ano hoki te tokotoko e tohutohu ai ia i a ratou: e takahi ana hoki ia i te takahanga waina o te aritarita o te riri o te Atua Kaha Rawa.

16 He ingoa ano tona, tuhituhi rawa ki tona kakahu, ki tona huha, KO TE KINGI O NGA KINGI, KO TE ARIKI O NGA ARIKI.

17 I kite ano ahau i tetahi anahera e tu ana i te ra; he nui ano tona reo ki te karanga, i mea ia ki nga manu katoa e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, haere mai, me huihui mai ki te hapa nui a te Atua;

18 Ki te kai i nga kikokiko o nga kingi, i nga kikokiko o nga rangatira mano, i nga kikokiko o te hunga kaha, i nga kikokiko o nga hoiho, o o ratou kainoho hoki, i nga kikokiko o nga tangata katoa, o nga mea ehara nei i te pononga, o nga pononga an o hoki, o te hunga nonohi, o te hunga nunui.

19 A ka kite ahau i te kararehe, me nga kingi o te whenua, me a ratou taua, kua huihuia ki te whawhai ki tera e noho ra i runga i te hoiho, ki tana taua hoki.

20 Na ka hopukina te kararehe raua tahi ko te poropiti teka i mahi ra i nga tohu ki tona aroaro, i pohehe ai te hunga i tango i te tohu a te kararehe, i koropiko hoki ki tona whakapakoko. Na panga oratia ana raua tokorua ki te roto kapura e ka ana i te whanariki.

21 Na, ko te hunga i toe, i whakamatea ki te hoari a tera e noho ra i runga i te hoiho, ki te hoari e puta mai nei i roto i tona mangai: a makona ana nga manu katoa i o ratou kikokiko.
