1 A i kite ahau i tetahi atu tohu i te rangi, he mea nui, he mea whakamiharo, tokowhitu nga anahera kei a ratou nga whiu whakamutunga e whitu; ko te whakaotinga hoki enei o te riri a te Atua.

2 A ka kite ahau he mea e rite ana ki te moana karaihe, he mea whakananu ki te kapura; me te hunga i kaha i te kararehe, i tona whakapakoko hoki, i tana tohu, i te whika ano hoki o tona ingoa, e tu ana i runga i te moana karaihe, kei a ratou ano ng a hapa a te Atua.

3 Kei te waiata hoki ratou i te waiata a Mohi, pononga a te Atua, me te waiata ano a te Reme; i mea ratou, He nui au mahi, e miharotia ana, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa; tika tonu ou ara, pono tonu, e te Kingi o nga whakatupuranga.

4 Ko wai e kore e wehi i a koe, e te Ariki, e kore hoki e whakakororia i tou ingoa? ko koe anake hoki te tapu ana; ka haere mai hoki nga tauiwi katoa, ka koropiko ki tou aroaro; kua whakakitea hoki au tikanga tika.

5 A i muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na kua puare te whare tapu o te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga i te rangi:

6 Na ka puta mai i roto i te whare tapu nga anahera e whitu, i a ratou nei nga whiu e whitu, he mea tatai ki te kohatu utu nui, kahore he koha, kanapa tonu, a ko o ratou uma he mea whitiki ki te whitiki koura.

7 A ka hoatu e tetahi o nga mea ora e wha ki nga anahera e whitu etahi oko koura e whitu, ki tonu i te riri o te Atua e ora nei a ake ake.

8 Na kua ki te whare tapu i te paoa, he mea na te kororia o te Atua, na tona kaha hoki: kihai hoki tetahi tangata i ahei te tomo ki te whare tapu, kia mutu ra ano nga whiu e whitu a nga anahera e whitu.

1 And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful, seven messengers having the seven last plagues, because in these was completed the wrath of God,

2 and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who do gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, [and] the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God,

3 and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful [are] Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true [are] Thy ways, O King of saints,

4 who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou alone [art] kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were manifested.`

5 And after these things I saw, and lo, opened was the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven;

6 and come forth did the seven messengers having the seven plagues, out of the sanctuary, clothed in linen, pure and shining, and girded round the breasts with golden girdles:

7 and one of the four living creatures did give to the seven messengers seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who is living to the ages of the ages;

8 and filled was the sanctuary with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power, and no one was able to enter into the sanctuary till the seven plagues of the seven messengers may be finished.
