1 A fter his I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.

Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau i nga anahera tokowha, e tu ana i nga pito e wha o te whenua, e pupuri ana i nga hau e wha o te whenua, kia kaua e pupuhi te hau ki runga ki te whenua, kia kaua ki te moana, kia kaua ranei ki runga ki tetahi rakau.

2 A nd I saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

I kite ano ahau i tetahi atu anahera e haere ake ana i te rawhiti, i a ia te hiri a te Atua ora; na, nui atu tona reo ki te karanga ki nga anahera tokowha, i tukua nei ma ratou e mea he kino ki te whenua, ki te moana,

3 s aying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.

E mea ana, Kaua e meatia he kino ki te whenua, kaua ki te moana, kaua hoki ki nga rakau; kia hiritia ra ano e matou nga rae o nga pononga a to tatou Atua.

4 A nd I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

A i rongo ahau ki te tokomaha o te hunga i hiritia, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha nga mano i hiritia, no nga pu katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.

5 O f the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand;

O te pu o Hura kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia: o te pu o Reupena kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Kara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:

6 O f the tribe of Asher twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand;

O te pu o Ahera kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Nepetarima kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Manahi kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:

7 O f the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand;

O te pu o Himiona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Riwai kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Ihakara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:

8 O f the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

O te pu o Hepurona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Hohepa kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Pineamine kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia.

9 A fter these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;

Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na, he mano tini, e kore nei e taea e tetahi te tatau, no nga iwi katoa, no nga hapu, no nga huihuinga tangata, no nga reo, e tu ana i mua i te torona, i mua hoki i te Reme, he mea whakakakahu ki nga kakahu ma, h e nikau hoki ki o ratou ringaringa;

10 a nd they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Nui atu to ratou reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Ko te whakaoranga ki to tatou Atua, e noho nei i runga i te torona, ki te Reme hoki.

11 A nd all the angels were standing round about the throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

Na ko nga anahera katoa e tu ana i nga taha katoa o te torona, i nga taha hoki o nga kaumatua, o nga mea ora e wha; a ka tapapa ratou ki mua i te torona, ka koropiko ki te Atua,

12 s aying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Me te ki ake ano, Amine: Ko te whakapai, ko te kororia, ko te matauranga, ko te whakawhetai, ko te honore, ko te mana, ko te kaha, kei to tatou Atua ake ake. Amine.

13 A nd one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they?

A ka oho mai tetahi o nga kaumatua, ka mea mai ki ahau, Ko enei i whakakakahuria nei ki nga kakahu ma, ko wai ra? a i haere mai ratou i hea?

14 A nd I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, E kara, e matau ana koe. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te hunga tenei i puta mai i te tukinotanga nui, ko o ratou kakahu he mea horoi na ratou, he mea whakama ki nga toto o te Reme.

15 T herefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.

Koia ratou e noho nei i mua i te torona o te Atua, e mahi nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, i roto i tona whare: a ma tera e noho ra i runga i te torona e hipoki tona tapenakara ki runga i a ratou.

16 T hey shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat:

Kore ake o ratou matekai, kore ake o ratou matewai; e kore ano hoki te ra e pa iho ki a ratou, tetahi wera ranei:

17 f or the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Ko te Reme hoki i waenganui o te torona hei hepara mo ratou, a mana ratou e arahi ki nga puna wai o te ora: a ma te Atua e muru atu nga roimata katoa i o ratou kanohi.
