1 And after this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from {the} sunrising, having {the} seal of {the} living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the bondmen of our God upon their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred {and} forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of {the} sons of Israel:
5 out of {the} tribe of Juda, twelve thousand sealed; out of {the} tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of {the} tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;
6 out of {the} tribe of Aser, twelve thousand; out of {the} tribe of Nepthalim, twelve thousand; out of {the} tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand;
7 out of {the} tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out of {the} tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out of {the} tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand;
8 out of {the} tribe of Zabulun, twelve thousand; out of {the} tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out of {the} tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed.
9 After these things I saw, and lo, a great crowd, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands.
10 And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God,
12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God, to the ages of ages. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
14 And I said to him, My lord, *thou* knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sits upon the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.
16 They shall not hunger any more, neither shall they thirst any more, nor shall the sun at all fall on them, nor any burning heat;
17 because the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them, and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
1 Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau i nga anahera tokowha, e tu ana i nga pito e wha o te whenua, e pupuri ana i nga hau e wha o te whenua, kia kaua e pupuhi te hau ki runga ki te whenua, kia kaua ki te moana, kia kaua ranei ki runga ki tetahi rakau.
2 I kite ano ahau i tetahi atu anahera e haere ake ana i te rawhiti, i a ia te hiri a te Atua ora; na, nui atu tona reo ki te karanga ki nga anahera tokowha, i tukua nei ma ratou e mea he kino ki te whenua, ki te moana,
3 E mea ana, Kaua e meatia he kino ki te whenua, kaua ki te moana, kaua hoki ki nga rakau; kia hiritia ra ano e matou nga rae o nga pononga a to tatou Atua.
4 A i rongo ahau ki te tokomaha o te hunga i hiritia, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha nga mano i hiritia, no nga pu katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.
5 O te pu o Hura kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia: o te pu o Reupena kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Kara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
6 O te pu o Ahera kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Nepetarima kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Manahi kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
7 O te pu o Himiona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Riwai kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Ihakara kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano:
8 O te pu o Hepurona kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Hohepa kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano: o te pu o Pineamine kotahi tekau ma rua nga mano i hiritia.
9 Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na, he mano tini, e kore nei e taea e tetahi te tatau, no nga iwi katoa, no nga hapu, no nga huihuinga tangata, no nga reo, e tu ana i mua i te torona, i mua hoki i te Reme, he mea whakakakahu ki nga kakahu ma, h e nikau hoki ki o ratou ringaringa;
10 Nui atu to ratou reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Ko te whakaoranga ki to tatou Atua, e noho nei i runga i te torona, ki te Reme hoki.
11 Na ko nga anahera katoa e tu ana i nga taha katoa o te torona, i nga taha hoki o nga kaumatua, o nga mea ora e wha; a ka tapapa ratou ki mua i te torona, ka koropiko ki te Atua,
12 Me te ki ake ano, Amine: Ko te whakapai, ko te kororia, ko te matauranga, ko te whakawhetai, ko te honore, ko te mana, ko te kaha, kei to tatou Atua ake ake. Amine.
13 A ka oho mai tetahi o nga kaumatua, ka mea mai ki ahau, Ko enei i whakakakahuria nei ki nga kakahu ma, ko wai ra? a i haere mai ratou i hea?
14 Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, E kara, e matau ana koe. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te hunga tenei i puta mai i te tukinotanga nui, ko o ratou kakahu he mea horoi na ratou, he mea whakama ki nga toto o te Reme.
15 Koia ratou e noho nei i mua i te torona o te Atua, e mahi nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, i roto i tona whare: a ma tera e noho ra i runga i te torona e hipoki tona tapenakara ki runga i a ratou.
16 Kore ake o ratou matekai, kore ake o ratou matewai; e kore ano hoki te ra e pa iho ki a ratou, tetahi wera ranei:
17 Ko te Reme hoki i waenganui o te torona hei hepara mo ratou, a mana ratou e arahi ki nga puna wai o te ora: a ma te Atua e muru atu nga roimata katoa i o ratou kanohi.
