Apocalipse 9

1 Ā, ka whakatangi te rima o ngā anahera, ā, ka kite ahau i tētahi whetū nō te rangi kua taka iho ki te whenua. Ā, ka hoatu ki a ia te kī o te poka tōrere. 2 Ā, uakina ana e ia te poka tōrere; ā, ka puta ake he paoa i te poka, ānō he paoa nō tētahi kāpura nui; ā, pōuri iho te rā me te rangi i te paoa o te poka. 3 Ā, ka puta mai i te paoa he māwhitiwhiti ki runga ki te whenua; i hoatu hoki ki a rātou he kaha, he pērā me te kaha o ngā kopiona o te whenua. 4 I kōrerotia hoki ki a rātou kia kaua e kino i a rātou te tarutaru o te whenua, tētahi mea matomato rānei, tētahi rākau rānei; ko ngā tāngata anake kāhore nei te hīri a te Atua i ō rātou rae. 5 I tukua anō hoki ki a rātou kia kaua e whakamate i ērā, engari me whakamamae kia rima rā anō ngā marama; ā, ko tā rātou whakamamae kia pērā me te whakamamae a te kopiona, ina wero i te tangata. 6 Ā, i aua rā tērā ngā tāngata e rapu i te mate, ā, e kore rawa e kitea; e hiahia anō rātou kia mate, heoi, ka oma te mate i a rātou.

7 Nā, ko te waihanga o ngā māwhitiwhiti rite tonu ki ngā hōiho kua oti te whakanoho mō te pakanga. Ā, i runga i ō rātou mātenga he mea e rite ana ki ngā karauna kōura, ā, ko ō rātou kanohi ānō he kanohi tāngata. 8 He makawe anō tō rātou rite tonu ki te makawe wahine, ko ō rātou niho me te mea nō te raiona. 9 He pukupuku hoki ō rātou, ānō he pukupuku rino; ā, ko te haruru o ō rātou pākau, ānō ko te haruru o ngā hāriata, o ngā hōiho maha e rere ana ki te tatauranga. 10 He hiku ō rātou pērā i ō ngā kopiona, he wero hoki; ā, kei ō rātou hiku tō rātou kaha ki te whakamamae tāngata mō ngā marama e rima. 11 He kīngi anō tō rātou, ko te anahera o te poka tōrere; ko tōna ingoa i te reo Hiperu ko Aparona, ā, i te reo Kariki ko Aporiona tōna ingoa.

12 Kua pahemo te tuatahi o ngā auē; nā, e rua ake ngā auē kei te haere mai i muri.

13 Nā, ka whakatangi te ono o ngā anahera, ā, ka rongo ahau ki tētahi reo, e ahu mai ana i ngā haona e whā o te āta kōura i te aroaro o te Atua, 14 e mea ana ki te ono o ngā anahera, kei a ia nei te tētere, "Wetekina ngā anahera tokowhā e here rā i te awa nui, i Uparati." 15 Nā, ka wetekina aua anahera tokowhā, kua noho rite noa ake nei mō te hāora, me te rā, me te marama, me te tau, e whakamate ai rātou i te wāhi tuatoru o ngā tāngata. 16 Ā, ko te tokomaha o ngā taua o ngā hōia eke hōiho e rua tekau mano ngā tekau mano; i rongo hoki ahau ki tō rātou tokomaha.

17 Ko tāku tēnei i kite ai i ahau e titiro matakite ana, ko ngā hōiho me ngā kainoho i runga he pukupuku o rātou, ānō he ahi, he hakiniti, he whānāriki. Nā, ko ngā upoko o ngā hōiho, ānō he upoko raiona; e puta mai ana hoki i ō rātou māngai he kāpura, he paoa, he whānāriki. 18 Nā ēnei mate e toru i patu te wāhi tuatoru o ngā tāngata, nā te kāpura, nā te paoa, nā te whānāriki, i puta mai i ō rātou māngai. 19 Ko te kaha hoki o ngā hōiho kei ō rātou māngai, kei ō rātou waero; ko ō rātou waero koia anō kei te nākahi, he upoko ō rātou; ko ā rātou mea tūkino ēnei.

20 Nā, ko ērā atu tāngata, kīhai nei i whakamatea e ēnei mate, kāhore rātou i rīpenetā ki ngā mahi a ō rātou ringaringa, kīhai hoki i mutu tō rātou koropiko ki ngā rēwera, ki ngā whakapakoko kōura, hiriwa, parāhi, kōhatu, rākau rānei; ki ngā mea kāhore nei e kite, kāhore e rongo, kāhore e hāereere. 21 Kāhore anō hoki rātou i rīpenetā ki ā rātou kōhuru, ki ā rātou mahi mākutu, ki ā rātou moepuku, ki ā rātou tāhae.

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man. 6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war. 10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. 11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon.

12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men. 16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt. 20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
