1 A ka kite ahau i tetahi anahera e heke iho ana i te rangi, kei a ia te ki o te poka torere, me tetahi mekameka nui i tona ringaringa.

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

2 N a ka mau ia ki te tarakona, ki te nakahi onamata, ko te Rewera nei ia, ko Hatana hoki, ka herehere i a ia kotahi mano nga tau;

And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

3 K a maka i a ia ki te poka torere, uakina ana, whakapiri rawa te hiri ki runga ki a ia, kei whakapohehe ia i nga tauiwi i muri iho, kia taka ra ano nga tau kotahi mano: a muri iho i enei mea me wewete ia, he taima iti kau ia.

and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.

4 I kite ano ahau i nga torona, e noho ana hoki ratou i runga, i hoatu ano hoki te whakawa ki a ratou: i nga wairua hoki o te hunga i poutoa mo te whakaaturanga i a Ihu, mo te kupu hoki a te Atua, te hunga kahore i koropiko ki te kararehe, ki tona whakapakoko ranei, kihai hoki i meatia te tohu ki o ratou rae, ki o ratou ringaringa; na ka ora ratou, ka kingi tahi me te Karaiti, kotahi mano tau.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 K ihai ia i ora ake te toenga o nga tupapaku, a taka noa nga tau kotahi mano. Ko te aranga tuatahi tenei.

The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 H ari tonu, tapu tonu te tangata he wahi nei tona i te aranga tuatahi: e kore te matenga tuarua e whai mana ki a ratou; engari hei tohunga ratou ma te Atua, ma te Karaiti hoki, a kotahi mano nga tau e kingi tahi ai ratou me ia.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 A , no ka pahemo nga tau kotahi mano, ka wetekina a Hatana i roto i tona whare herehere.

And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 A ka haere ia ki te whakapohehe i nga tauiwi i nga pito e wha o te whenua, i a Koka raua ko Makoka, e huihui ai ratou ki te taua: ko te tokomaha o ratou rite tonu ki te onepu o te moana.

and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 N a haere ana ratou ki te whanui o te whenua, karapotia ana e ratou te nohoanga o te hunga tapu, me te pa e arohaina ana: na ko te hekenga iho o te kapura i te Atua i te rangi, pau ake ratou.

And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 N a, ko te rewera i whakapohehe nei i a ratou, panga ana ia ki te roto kapura whanariki, ki te wahi kei reira nei te kararehe me te poropiti teka, a ka whakamamaetia ratou i te ao, i te po, ake ake.

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 A ka kite ahau i tetahi torona nui, ma, i tetahi hoki e noho ana i runga, rere ana te whenua me te rangi i tona kanohi; kahore hoki i kitea he wahi mo raua.

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 I kite ano ahau i te hunga mate, i te hunga nunui, i te hunga ririki, e tu ana i mua o te torona; na kua whakatuwheratia nga pukapuka; kua whakatuwheratia ano hoki tetahi atu pukapuka, ko te pukapuka o te ora: kei nga mea hoki i tuhituhia ki aua pukapuka he whakawa mo te hunga mate, he mea whakarite tonu ki a ratou mahi.

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 I tukua mai ano e te moana te hunga mate i roto i a ia; i tukua mai hoki e te mate, e te po, te hunga mate i roto i a raua: na ka whakawakia tena tangata, tena, he mea whakarite ki a ratou mahi.

And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 N a ka panga te mate me te po ki te roto ahi. Ko te tuarua tenei o nga mate, ara ko te roto ahi.

And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.

15 A , ki te kitea tetahi kihai i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o te ora, i panga ia ki te roto ahi.

And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
