1 N a 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.

Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.

2 M e 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.

But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.

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.

And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

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

These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.

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.

And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.

6 K ei 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.

These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. The Witnesses Killed

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.

When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.

8 K a 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.

And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

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.

Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.

10 K a 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.

And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. The Witnesses Resurrected

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.

Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

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.

And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.

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.

In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

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

The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly. Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed

15 N a 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.

Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

16 N a, 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,

And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,

17 K a 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.

saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

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.

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

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.

Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
