1 A nd I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire;

A ka kite ahau i tetahi atu anahera kaha e heke iho ana i te rangi, he mea whakakakahu ki te kapua: ko te aniwaniwa i runga i tona matenga, ko tona kanohi rite tonu ki te ra, ona waewae ki te pou kapura:

2 a nd he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth;

I tona ringaringa hoki tetahi pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera ana: a ko tona waewae matau e takahi ana ki te moana, ko tona maui ki te whenua:

3 a nd he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.

He nui ano tona reo ki te karanga, ano he raiona e tangi ana: a i te mea ka karanga ia, ka puaki nga reo o nga whatitiri e whitu.

4 A nd when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

A, no ka puaki nga reo o nga whatitiri e whitu, ka mea ahau ki te tuhituhi: na ka rangona e ahau he reo i te rangi e mea mai ana ki ahau, Hiritia nga mea kua whakapuakina nei e nga whatitiri e whitu, kaua hoki enei e tuhituhia.

5 A nd the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,

Na ko te anahera i kitea ra e ahau e tu ana i runga i te moana i runga hoki i te whenua, whakaara ana i tona ringa matau ki te rangi,

6 a nd sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:

A oatitia ana e ia te Mea ora tonu ake ake, nana nei i hanga te rangi me ona mea, te whenua me ona mea, te moana me ona mea, kahore ake he taima:

7 b ut in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished they mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets.

Engari i nga ra o te reo o te whitu o nga anahera, ina mea ia ki te whakatangi, ka whakaotia te mea ngaro a te Atua, tana rongopai i kauwhau ai ki ana pononga, ki nga poropiti.

8 A nd the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

A ka korero ano ki ahau te reo i rongo ai ahau i te rangi, ka mea, Tikina atu te pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera na i te ringaringa o te anahera e tu na i runga i te moana, i runga ano i te whenua.

9 A nd I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.

Na ka haere ahau ki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Homai ki ahau te pukapuka nohinohi na. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Tangohia, kainga; a ka kawa tou kopu, ka reka ia ki tou mangai, ano he honi.

10 A nd I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.

Na ka tango ahau i te pukapuka nohinohi i te ringaringa o te anahera, kainga ana e ahau; a i reka ano ki toku mangai, ano he honi: no taku kainga, kua kawa toku kopu.

11 A nd they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

A ka mea mai ratou ki ahau, Me poropiti ano koe mo nga huihuinga tokomaha o nga tangata, o nga iwi, o nga reo, o nga kingi.
