Apocalipse 16

Ngā Oko o te Riri o te Atua

1 Ā, ka rongo ahau i te reo nui he mea nō roto i te whare tapu e mea ana ki ngā anahera e whitu, "Haere koutou, ringihia ngā oko e whitu o te riri o te Atua ki te whenua!"

2 Nā, haere ana te tuatahi, ringihia ana e ia tāna oko ki te whenua; ā, kua pā he mariao kino whakarihariha ki ngā tāngata kei a rātou nei te tohu a te kararehe, ki te hunga hoki e koropiko ana ki tōna whakapakoko.

3 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuarua o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te moana; ā, ka meinga hei toto, ānō nō te tūpāpaku; ā, ka mate ngā wairua ora katoa i roto i te moana.

4 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuatoru o ngā anahera tāna oko ki ngā awa, ki ngā puna wai; ā, ka meinga hei toto. 5 Ā, ka rongo ahau i te anahera o ngā wai e mea ana,

"Tika tonu koe, e te Ariki, tēnei koe ināianei,

i mua anō koe, ko te Mea Tapu hoki koe,

nāu hoki ēnei whakawā.

6 I ringihia hoki e rātou ngā toto o te hunga tapu,

o ngā poropiti, ā, hoatu ana e koe he toto ki a rātou kia inumia;

he mea tika hoki mā rātou."

7 I rongo hoki ahau i te āta e mea ana,

"Āe rā, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa,

pono tonu, tika tonu āu whakawā."

8 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuawhā o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te rā; ā, ka hoatu ki a ia kia tunua ngā tāngata ki te ahi. 9 Nā, hunuhunua ana ngā tāngata e te wera nui; ā, ka kohukohu rātou ki te ingoa o te Atua, kei a ia nei te tikanga mō ēnei whiu. Kīhai hoki rātou i rīpenetā, i hoatu i te korōria ki a ia.

10 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuarima o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te torōna o te kararehe; ā, ka whakapōuritia tōna rangatiratanga; ā, ngaua ana e ngā tāngata ō rātou arero i te mamae, 11 kohukohua ana hoki e rātou te Atua o te rangi mō ō rātou mamae, mō ō rātou mariao, kīhai anō rātou i rīpenetā ki ā rātou mahi.

12 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuaono o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te awa nui, ki Uparati; ā, mimiti ake tōna wai, he mea kia rite ai te huarahi o ngā kīngi e haere mai i te rāwhiti. 13 Ā, i kite ahau i ngā wairua poke e toru, te rite kei te poroka, e puta mai ana i te māngai o te tarakona, i te māngai hoki o te kararehe, i te māngai anō hoki o te poropiti teka. 14 Ko ngā wairua hoki rātou o ngā rēwera, e mahi ana i ngā tohu, e haere atu ana ki ngā kīngi o te whenua, o te ao katoa, ki te huihui i a rātou ki te whawhai i taua rā nui o te Atua Kaha Rawa.

15 "Nanā, ka haere atu ahau, ānō he tāhae. Ka hari te tangata e mataara ana, e tiaki ana i ōna kākahu, kei haere tahanga ia, kei kitea tōna whakamā!"

16 Nā, ka huihuia rātou e ia ki te wāhi e huaina nei i te reo Hiperu ko Aramakerona.

17 Nā, ka ringihia e te anahera tuawhitu tāna oko ki te takiwā o te rangi, ā, ka puta mai he reo nui i te whare tapu o te rangi, i te torōna, e mea ana, "Kua oti!" 18 Ā, ka puta mai he uira, he reo, he whatitiri, ā, ka puta he rū nui, kāhore anō he rū i pērā mai o te nohoanga o te tangata ki te whenua, tōna nui, tōna kaha. 19 Nā, ka wehea te pā nui, e toru ngā wāhi, ā, ka horo ngā pā o ngā tauiwi. Ka maharatia hoki Papurōna nui i te aroaro o te Atua, hoatu ana ki a ia te kapu o te wāina o te āritarita o tōna riri. 20 Ā, rere atu ana ngā motu katoa, kīhai hoki i kitea ngā maunga. 21 I heke iho anō hoki i te rangi he whatu nui, ki runga ki ngā tāngata, kei tō te taranata te taimaha o te whatu kotahi; ā, ka kohukohu ngā tāngata i te Atua mō te whiu a te whatu; he nui rawa hoki tāna whiu.

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.

2 And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshipped his image.

3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, even the things that were in the sea.

4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge: 6 for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy. 7 And I heard the altar saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

8 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.

10 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.

12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising. 13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: 14 for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. 15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) 16 And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

17 And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done: 18 and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail, every stone about the weight of a talent, cometh down out of heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof is exceeding great.
