1 T he Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,

Ko te whakakitenga a Ihu Karaiti, i homai nei e te Atua ki a ia, kia whakapuakina ki ana pononga nga mea meake nei rite; na whakaaturia mai ana e ia, ara e tana anahera i tonoa mai e ia, ki tana pononga, ki a Hoani:

2 w ho testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.

Ko ia nei te pono o te kupu a te Atua, o te whakaaturanga hoki a Ihu Karaiti, ara o nga mea katoa i kite ai ia.

3 B lessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. Message to the Seven Churches

Ka hari te tangata e titiro ana i te pukapuka, me te hunga ano hoki e whakarongo ana ki nga kupu o te poropititanga, e pupuri ana hoki i nga mea kua oti te tuhituhi ki reira: kua tata hoki te taima.

4 J ohn to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

Na Hoani ki nga hahi e whitu i Ahia: Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea nana e ora nei ia, i mua ano ia, a kei te haere mai ano; he mea hoki na nga Wairua e whitu i mua i tona torona;

5 a nd from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood—

He mea ano na Ihu Karaiti, na te kaiwhakaatu pono, ko ia nei te putanga matamua o te hunga mate, te rangatira o nga kingi o te whenua. Ki a ia, i arohaina nei tatou e ia, i horoia ano hoki o tatou hara ki ona toto,

6 a nd He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father— to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

A meinga ana tatou e ia hei kingi, hei tohunga ki te Atua, ara ki tona Matua; waiho atu ki a ia te kororia me te kaha ake tonu atu. Amine.

7 B ehold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.

Tenei ia te haere mai nei me nga kapua, e kite hoki i a ia nga kanohi katoa, me te hunga hoki i wero i a ia: ka aue ano hoki nga hapu katoa o te whenua ki a ia. Ae, Amine.

8 “ I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “ who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” The Patmos Vision

Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te timatanga, te whakamutunga, e ai ta te Ariki, e ora nei, i mua ano ia, a kei te haere mai ano, ko te Kaha Rawa nei ia.

9 I , John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

Ko ahau tenei, ko Hoani, ko to koutou tuakana, kua uru tahi nei ki te tukinotanga, ki te rangatiratanga ano hoki, ki te manawanui kei roto i a Ihu, i te motu ahau e huaina nei ko Patamo, he mea hoki mo te kupu a te Atua, mo te whakaatu hoki i a I hu.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet,

I te Wairua ahau i te ra o te Ariki, a ka rongo ahau i te reo nui i muri i ahau, me te mea no te tetere,

11 s aying, “ Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

E mea ana, Tuhituhia ki te pukapuka tau e kite nei, tukua atu hoki ki nga hahi e whitu i Ahia; ki Epeha, ki hamurana, ki Perekamu, ki Taiataira, ki Harariha, ki Parerepia, ki Raorikia.

12 T hen I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands;

Na ka tahuri ake ahau kia kite i te reo i korero nei ki ahau. A, i taku tahuritanga ake, ka kite ahau i nga turanga rama koura e whitu;

13 a nd in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.

A i waenganui o nga turanga rama ko tetahi e rite ana ki te Tama a te tangata, ko tona kakahu tatu noa ki nga waewae, he mea whitiki te uma ki te whitiki koura;

14 H is head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire.

A ko tona matenga me nga makawe ma tonu, ano he wuuru ma, he hukarere; ko ona kanohi, ano he mura ahi;

15 H is feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.

A ko ona waewae rite tonu ki te parahi pai, ano e ka ana i roto i te oumu; ko tona reo, ano ko te tangi a nga wai maha.

16 I n His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.

E whitu hoki nga whetu i tona ringa matau: a i puta mai i tona mangai he hoari matarua, he mea koi: ko tona kanohi, ano kei te ra ina kaha te whiti mai.

17 W hen I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “ Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,

A, no toku kitenga i a ia, hinga ana ahau ki ona waewae, ano he tangata kua mate. Na ka whakapangia mai e ia tona ringaringa matau ki ahau, ka mea ki ahau, Kaua e mataku; ko ahau te tuatahi, te whakamutunga:

18 a nd the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

Ko ahau te Mea Ora; i mate hoki ahau i mua, na, e ora nei a ake tonu atu, kei ahau ano nga ki o te mate raua ko te reinga.

19 T herefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things.

Na reira tuhituhia nga mea kua kite nei koe, nga mea onaianei nei, me nga mea e puta mai a muri ake nei;

20 A s for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Ko te mea ngaro, ko nga whetu e whitu i kite nei koe i toku matau, me nga turanga rama koura e whitu. Ko nga whetu e whitu, ko nga anahera o nga hahi e whitu: ko nga turanga rama e whitu, ko nga hahi e whitu.
