1 A i kite ano ahau, na, ko te Reme e tu ana i Maunga Hiona, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha mano ona hoa, ko tona ingoa, me te ingoa o tona Matua, he mea tuhituhi ki o ratou rae.
And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
2 N a ka rongo ahau i te reo i te rangi, tona rite kei te haruru o nga wai maha, kei te haruru ano o te whatitiri nui: a ko te reo i rongo ai ahau, ano ko te reo o nga kaiwhakatangi hapa e whakatangi ana i a ratou hapa:
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 A ko ta ratou waiata me te mea he waiata hou i mua i te torona, i mua hoki i nga mea ora e wha, i nga kaumatua ano hoki; e kore hoki e taea e tetahi te ako taua waiata, ko nga mano anake kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha, kua oti nei te hoko i runga i te whenua.
and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, even they that had been purchased out of the earth.
4 K o te hunga tenei kahore nei i poke i te wahine; he wahine hoki ratou. Ko te hunga tenei e aru ana i te Reme ki nga wahi katoa e haere ai ia. He mea hoko enei i roto i nga tangata, he matamua ki te Atua, ki te Reme hoki.
These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb.
5 K ahore hoki he tinihanga i mau i o ratou mangai: he kohakore ratou, i mua i te torona a te Atua.
And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.
6 I kite ano ahau i tetahi atu anahera e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, kei a ia te rongopai mau tonu hei kauwhau mana ki te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ki nga iwi katoa, ki nga hapu, ki nga reo, ki nga huihuinga tangata;
And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
7 A he nui tona reo ki te mea, Kia wehi koutou ki te Atua, hoatu ki a ia he kororia; kua tae mai hoki te haora o tana whakawa: koropiko atu hoki ki a ia, ki te Kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua, o te moana, o nga puna wai.
and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.
8 I aru mai ano tetahi atu anahera, i mea, Kua horo, kua horo a Papurona, te pa nui, i whakainu nei i nga tauiwi katoa ki te waina o te riri o tona moepuku.
And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 I aru mai ano te toru o nga anahera i a raua, nui atu tona reo ki te mea mai, Ki te koropiko tetahi ki te kararehe, ki tona whakapakoko hoki, ka tango hoki i te tohu ki tona rae, ki tona ringaringa ranei,
And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand,
10 E inu ano ia i te waina o te riri o te Atua, e ringihia nei, he mea kahore i whakananua, ki roto ki te kapu o tona riri; e whakamamaetia hoki ia i roto i te kapura, i te whanariki i te aroaro o nga anahera tapu, i te aroaro hoki o te Reme:
he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 A kake ana te paoa o to ratou whakamamaetanga ake ake: kahore hoki he okiokinga i te ao, i te po, mo te hunga e koropiko ana ki te kararehe, ki tona whakapakoko hoki, mo te tangata hoki e tango ana i te tohu o tona ingoa.
and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name.
12 T enei te manawanui o te hunga tapu, o te hunga e pupuri ana i nga ture a te Atua, i te whakapono hoki o Ihu.
Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 A ka rongo ahau i tetahi reo i te rangi e mea ana, Tuhituhia, Ka hari nga tupapaku e mate nei i roto i te Ariki i nga wa i muri nei: ae ra, e ai ta te Wairua, kia okioki ai ratou i a ratou mahi; e aru tahi hoki a ratou mahi i a ratou.
And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.
14 A ka kite ano ahau, na, he kapua ma; a i runga i te kapua e noho ana tetahi, tona rite kei te Tama a te tangata, i runga ano i tona mahunga he karaunga koura, i roto i tona ringaringa he toronaihi koi.
And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw one sitting like unto a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand sharp sickle.
15 N a ka puta mai tetahi atu anahera i te whare tapu, he nui tona reo ki te karanga ki tera e noho ra i runga i te kapua, Akina iho tau toronaihi, kotia; kua tae hoki te wa e kokoti ai: kua maroke ke hoki te witi o te ao;
And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 K atahi tera e noho ra i runga i te kapua ka aki iho i tana toronaihi ki te whenua, a ka kotia te whenua.
And he that sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 A ka puta mai ano he anahera i roto i te whare tapu i te rangi, he toronaihi koi ano hoki tana.
Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 N a ka puta mai ano tetahi atu anahera i roto i te aata, kei a ia he mana ki te kapura; he nui tona reo ki te karanga ki tera i te toronaihi koi, i mea ia, Akina iho tau toronaihi koi, tapahia nga tautau waina o te whenua; kua maoa hoki ona karep e.
And another angel came out from the altar, he that hath power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 N a akina iho ana tana toronaihi e te anahera ki te whenua, tapahia ana e ia te waina o te whenua, panga ana e ia, ki te takahanga nui o te riri o te Atua.
And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress, of the wrath of God.
20 N a ka takahia te takahanga waina i waho o te pa, a puta ake ana he toto i roto i te takahanga, tae noa ake ki nga paraire o nga hoiho, a taea noatia nga paronga kotahi mano e ono rau.
And the winepress are trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
