Apocalipse 10

1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land. 3 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them."

5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay, 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants the prophets.

8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land."

9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book.

He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."

10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11 They*10:11 TR reads "He" instead of "They" told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."

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."
