1 A ka rongo ahau i te reo nui he mea no roto i te whare tapu e mea ana ki nga anahera e whitu, Haere koutou, ringihia nga oko e whitu o te riri o te Atua ki te whenua.

Then I heard a loud voice coming from the house of God. The voice said to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven jars of God’s anger onto the earth!”

2 N a haere ana te tuatahi, ringihia ana e ia tana oko ki te whenua; a kua pa he mariao kino whakarihariha ki nga tangata kei a ratou nei te tohu a te kararehe, ki te hunga hoki e koropiko ana ki tona whakapakoko.

The first angel poured out his jar of God’s anger onto the earth. Painful sores were given to everyone who had the mark of the wild animal and who worshiped his god. The Second Jar—Death in the Sea

3 N a ka ringihia e te tuarua o nga anahera tana oko ki te moana; a ka meinga hei toto, ano no te tupapaku: a ka mate nga wairua ora katoa i roto i te moana.

The second angel poured out his jar of God’s anger onto the sea. The water became like the blood of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died. The Third Jar—Water Turns to Blood

4 N a ka ringihia e te tuatoru o nga anahera tana oko ki nga awa, ki nga puna wai; a ka meinga hei toto.

The third angel poured out his jar of God’s anger onto the rivers and places where water comes out of the earth. The water turned to blood.

5 A ka rongo ahau i te anahera o nga wai e mea ana, Tika tonu koe, e te Ariki, tenei koe inaianei, i mua ano koe, ko te Mea Tapu hoki koe, nau hoki enei whakawa:

I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are right in punishing by sending this trouble. You are the Holy One Who was and is and will be.

6 I ringihia hoki e ratou nga toto o te hunga tapu, o nga poropiti, a hoatu ana e koe he toto ki a ratou kia inumia; he mea tika hoki ma ratou.

They have poured out the blood of God’s people and of the early preachers. You have given them blood to drink. They are getting the pay that is coming to them.”

7 I rongo hoki ahau i te aata e mea ana, Ae ra, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa, pono tonu, tika tonu au whakawa.

I heard a voice from the altar saying, “Lord God, the All-powerful One! What You decide about people is right and true.” The Fourth Jar—Burning Heat

8 N a ka ringihia e te tuawha o nga anahera tana oko ki te ra; a ka hoatu ki a ia kia tunua nga tangata ki te ahi.

The fourth angel poured out his jar of God’s anger onto the sun. It was allowed to burn men with its fire.

9 N a hunuhunua ana nga tangata e te wera nui: a ka kohukohu ratou ki te ingoa o te Atua, kei a ia nei te tikanga mo enei whiu; kihai hoki ratou i ripeneta, i hoatu i te kororia ki a ia.

Men were burned with the heat of this fire and they called God bad names even when He had the power over these kinds of trouble. They were not sorry for their sins and did not turn from them and honor Him. The Fifth Jar—Darkness

10 N a ka ringihia e te tuarima o nga anahera tana oko ki te torona o te kararehe; a ka whakapouritia tona rangatiratanga; a ngaua ana e nga tangata o ratou arero i te mamae,

The fifth angel poured out his jar of God’s anger upon the throne of the wild animal. The whole nation of the wild animal was turned into darkness. Those who worshiped him bit their tongues because of the pain.

11 K ohukohua ana hoki e ratou te Atua o te rangi mo o ratou mamae, mo o ratou mariao, kihai ano ratou i ripeneta ki a ratou mahi.

They called the God of heaven bad names because of their pain and their sores. They were not sorry for what they had done. The Sixth Jar—the Euphrates River Dries Up

12 N a ka ringihia e te tuaono o nga anahera tana oko ki te awa nui, ki Uparati; a mimiti ake tona wai, he mea kia rite ai te huarahi o nga kingi e haere mai i te rawhiti.

The sixth angel poured out his jar of God’s anger onto the great Euphrates River. The water dried up. In this way, the kings of the countries of the east could cross over.

13 A i kite ahau i nga wairua poke e toru, te rite kei te poroka, e puta mai ana i te mangai o te tarakona, i te mangai hoki o te kararehe, i te mangai ano hoki o te poropiti teka:

Then I saw three demons that looked like frogs. They came out of the mouths of the dragon and the second wild animal and the false preacher.

14 K o nga wairua hoki ratou o nga rewera, e mahi ana i nga tohu, e haere atu ana ki nga kingi o te whenua, o te ao katoa, ki te huihui i a ratou ki te whawhai i taua ra nui o te Atua Kaha Rawa.

These are demons that do powerful works. These demons go to all the kings of all the earth. They bring them together for the war of the great day of the All-powerful God.

15 N ana, ka haere atu ahau, ano he tahae. Ka hari te tangata e mataara ana, e tiaki ana i ona kakahu, kei haere tahanga ia, kei kitea tona whakama.

(See! I will come like a robber. The man is happy who stays awake and keeps his clothes ready. He will not be walking around without clothes and be ashamed.)

16 N a ka huihuia ratou e ia ki te wahi e huaina nei i te reo Hiperu ko Aramakerona.

Then the demons brought the kings together in the place called Armageddon in the Hebrew language. The Seventh Jar—the Earth Shakes and Hail Falls

17 N a ka ringihia e te anahera tuawhitu tana oko ki te takiwa o te rangi: a ka puta mai he reo nui i te whare tapu o te rangi, i te torona, e mea ana, Kua oti.

The seventh angel poured out his jar of God’s anger into the air. A loud voice came from the throne in the house of God, saying, “It is all done!”

18 A ka puta mai he uira, he reo, he whatitiri; a ka puta he ru nui, kahore ano he ru i pera mai o te nohoanga o te tangata ki te whenua, tona nui, tona kaha.

Then there were voices and lightning and thunder and the earth shook. The earth shook much more than it had ever shaken before.

19 N a ka wehea te pa nui, e toru nga wahi, a ka horo nga pa o nga tauiwi: ka maharatia hoki Papurona nui i te aroaro o te Atua, hoatu ana ki a ia te kapu o te waina o te aritarita o tona riri.

The big and strong city of Babylon was split in three parts. The cities of other nations fell to the ground. Then God remembered the strong city of Babylon. He made her drink the wine from His cup of much anger.

20 A rere atu ana nga motu katoa, kihai hoki i kitea nga maunga.

Every island went down into the sea. No mountain could be found.

21 I heke iho ano hoki i te rangi he whatu nui, ki runga ki nga tangata, kei to te taranata te taimaha o te whatu kotahi: a ka kohukohu nga tangata i te Atua mo te whiu a te whatu; he nui rawa hoki tana whiu.

Large pieces of hail fell from heaven on men. These pieces were about as heavy as an older child. But men called God bad names because of so much trouble from the hail.
