1 A i kite ahau i te wahanga o tetahi o nga hiri e te Reme, i rongo hoki i tetahi o nga mea ora e wha e mea mai ana, ano he reo whatitiri, Haere mai.

Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.”

2 I kite ano ahau, na, he hoihoi ma: a ko te tangata e noho ana i runga he kopere tana; a ka hoatu he karauna ki a ia: a haere atu ana ia i runga i te wikitoria ki te wikitoria.

I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. The Second Seal—War

3 A i tana wahanga i te rua o nga hiri ka rongo ahau i te rua o nga mea ora e mea ana, Haere mai.

When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.”

4 N a ka puta mai tetahi hoiho ano, he hoiho whero: a i hoatu ki te kainoho i runga kia tangohia atu e ia te rangimarie i runga i te whenua, kia patu ai ratou tetahi i tetahi: i hoatu ano hoki he hoari nui ki a ia.

And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him. The Third Seal—Famine

5 A i tana wahanga i te toru o nga hiri ka rongo ahau i te toru o nga mea ora e mea ana, Haere mai. A i kite ahau, na, he hoiho mangu; me te kainoho i runga he pauna taimaha tana kei tona ringaringa.

When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

6 A ka rongo ahau i te reo, ano i waenganui o nga mea ora e wha, e mea ana, He kuata witi mo te pene, e toru kuata parei mo te pene; kei kino hoki tau mahi ki te hinu, ki te waina.

And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.” The Fourth Seal—Death

7 A i tana wahanga i te wha o nga hiri, ka rongo ahau i te reo o te wha o nga mea ora, e mea ana, Haere mai.

When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.”

8 A ka kite ahau, na, he hoiho ha ma: a ko te kainoho i runga, tona ingoa ko te Mate, me te aru ano te Reinga i a ia. Na i hoatu ki a raua te tikanga ki te tuawha o nga wahi o te whenua, kia whakamatea ki te hoari, ki te matekai, ki te mate turoro, ki nga kararehe hoki o te whenua.

I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth. The Fifth Seal—Martyrs

9 A i tana wahanga i te rima o nga hiri, ka kitea e ahau i raro i te aata nga wairua o te hunga i whakamatea mo te kupu a te Atua, mo ta ratou whakaatu hoki:

When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained;

10 N ui atu to ratou reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Kia pehea te roa, e te Ariki, e te tapu, e te pono, a kore ana koe e whakawa, e rapu utu mo o matou toto, i te hunga e noho ana i runga i te whenua?

and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “ How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

11 A i hoatu he kakahu ma ki tenei, ki tenei o ratou; a i kiia atu ki a ratou, kia okioki ratou he wa iti nei, kia rite ra ano o ratou hoa pononga me o ratou teina, i meinga nei kia patua, kia peratia me ratou.

And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also. The Sixth Seal—Terror

12 A ka kite ahau i tana wahanga i te ono o nga hiri, na, ko te ru nui; a ka mangu te ra ano he kakahu taratara, puhuruhuru, a ko te marama pena katoa i te toto;

I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

13 A ka taka iho nga whetu o te rangi, ano he piki e whakangahoro nei i ona hua koriri, ina rurea ia i te hau nui.

and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.

14 N a ka tahia atu te rangi me te pukapuka e whakakopaia ana; a ka nekehia atu nga maunga katoa me nga motu i o ratou turanga.

The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 N a, ko nga kingi o te whenua, ko nga tangata nunui, ko nga tangata taonga, ko nga rangatira mano, ko nga tangata kaha, ko nga pononga katoa, me nga rangatira katoa, piri ana ratou ki roto ki nga ana, ki nga toka o nga maunga;

Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;

16 M e te ki ake ano ratou ki nga maunga, ki nga toka, E hinga ki runga ki a matou, hei huna i a matou i te kanohi o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, i te riri hoki o te Reme:

and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

17 K ua taea hoki te ra nui o tona riri; a ko wai e tu?

for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
