Te Anahera me te Pukapuka Nohinohi
1 Ā, ka kite ahau i tētahi atu anahera kaha e heke iho ana i te rangi, he mea whakakākahu ki te kapua; ko te āniwaniwa i runga i tōna mātenga, ko tōna kanohi rite tonu ki te rā, ōna waewae ki te pou kāpura. 2 I tōna ringaringa hoki tētahi pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera ana. Ā, ko tōna waewae matau e takahi ana ki te moana, ko tōna mauī ki te whenua. 3 He nui anō tōna reo ki te karanga, ānō he raiona e tangi ana. Ā, i te mea ka karanga ia, ka puaki ngā reo o ngā whatitiri e whitu. 4 Ā, nō ka puaki ngā reo o ngā whatitiri e whitu, ka mea ahau ki te tuhituhi. Nā, ka rangona e ahau he reo i te rangi e mea mai ana ki ahau, "Hīritia ngā mea kua whakapuakina nei e ngā whatitiri e whitu, kaua hoki ēnei e tuhituhia."
5 Nā, ko te anahera i kitea rā e ahau e tū ana i runga i te moana i runga hoki i te whenua, whakaara ana i tōna ringa matau ki te rangi, 6 ā, oatitia ana e ia te Mea ora tonu ake ake, nāna nei i hanga te rangi me ōna mea, te whenua me ōna mea, te moana me ōna mea, "Kāhore ake he tāima, 7 engari i ngā rā o te reo o te whitu o ngā anahera, ina mea ia ki te whakatangi, ka whakaotia te mea ngaro a te Atua, tāna rongopai i kauwhau ai ki āna pononga, ki ngā poropiti."
8 Ā, ka kōrero anō ki ahau te reo i rongo ai ahau i te rangi, ka mea, "Tīkina atu te pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera nā i te ringaringa o te anahera e tū nā i runga i te moana, i runga anō i te whenua."
9 Nā, ka haere ahau ki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, "Hōmai ki ahau te pukapuka nohinohi nā." Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, "Tangohia, kainga; ā, ka kawa tōu kōpū, ka reka ia ki tōu māngai, ānō he honi."
10 Nā, ka tango ahau i te pukapuka nohinohi i te ringaringa o te anahera, kainga ana e ahau; ā, i reka anō ki tōku māngai, ānō he honi. Nō tāku kainga kua kawa tōku kōpū. 11 Ā, ka mea mai rātou ki ahau, "Me poropiti anō koe mō ngā huihuinga tokomaha o ngā tāngata, o ngā iwi, o ngā reo, o ngā kīngi."
1 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; 2 and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth; 3 and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6 and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer: 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. 11 And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.
