Apocalipse 11

1 A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it. 2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. 3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10 Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

11 After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. 13 In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.

15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!"

16 The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was,*11:17 TR adds "and who is coming" because you have taken your great power and reigned. 18 The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

19 God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

Ngā Kaiwhakaatu Tokorua

1 Nā, kua hōmai ki ahau he kākaho e rite ana ki te tokotoko, ā, ka mea mai tētahi, "E ara, ka whanganga i te whare o te Atua, me te āta, me te hunga e koropiko ana i roto. 2 Me whakarere ia ki waho te marae i te taha ki waho o te whare tapu, kaua tērā e whangangatia; kua hoatu hoki ki ngā tauiwi; ā, e takatakahia e rātou te pā tapu, e whā tekau mā rua ngā marama. 3 Ā, māku e hoatu he tikanga ki āku kaiwhakaatu tokorua, e poropiti hoki rāua, kotahi mano e rua rau e ono tekau ngā rā, he taratara anō te kākahu."

4 Ko ngā ōriwa e rua ēnei, me ngā tūranga rama e rua, e tū nei i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua. 5 Ā, ki te mea tētahi ki te tūkino i a rāua, ka puta mai he kāpura i ō rāua māngai, e pau ai ō rāua hoariri. Ki te mea hoki tētahi ki te tūkino i a rāua, ko te whakamatenga tēnei mōna. 6 Kei a rāua te tikanga mō te kōpani i te rangi, kia kaua e ua te ua i ngā rā o tā rāua poropititanga. Kei a rāua anō te tikanga mō te whakaputa kē i ngā wai hei toto, mō te patu anō i te whenua ki ngā patunga katoa, i ngā wā e pai ai rāua.

7 Ā, nō ka mutu tā rāua whakaatu, ka whawhai ki a rāua te kararehe e haere ake ana i roto i te poka tōrere, ā, e taea rāua e ia, e whakamatea rāua. 8 Ka takoto anō ō rāua tinana ki te huarahi o te pā nui, e huaina wairuatia nei ko Horoma, ko Īhipa, ki te wāhi hoki i rīpekatia ai tō rāua Ariki. 9 Ā, e toru ngā rā me te hāwhe e tirohia ai ō rāua tinana e ngā huihuinga tāngata, e ngā hapū, e ngā reo, e ngā iwi, e kore anō hoki e tukua ō rāua tinana kia hoatu ki te urupā. 10 Ka koa hoki ki a rāua te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ka harakoa, ka tāpae taonga tētahi ki tētahi; nō te mea i whakamamae ēnei poropiti tokorua i te hunga e noho ana ki te whenua.

11 Ā muri iho i aua rā e toru me te hāwhe, ka uru te manawa ora ki a rāua, he mea nā te Atua, ā, ka tū ō rāua waewae ki runga; nui atu hoki te wehi i pā ki te hunga e titiro ana ki a rāua. 12 Ā, ka rongo rāua i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana ki a rāua, "Haere ake kōrua ki konei." Nā, haere atu ana rāua ki te rangi i roto i te kapua; me te mātakitaki anō ō rāua hoariri ki a rāua.

13 I taua hāora anō ka puta he rū nui, ka hinga te wāhi whakatekau o te pā; ko ngā tāngata i mate i taua rū e whitu mano; ā, ka wehi ērā atu, ā, hoatu ana e rātou he korōria ki te Atua o te rangi.

14 Kua pahemo te rua o ngā Auē! Nā, ka hohoro te toru o ngā Auē te haere mai!

Te Tētere Tuawhitu

15 Nā, ka whakatangi te whitu o ngā anahera; ā, ka whai i muri ngā reo nunui i te rangi, e mea ana:

"Kua riro te rangatiratanga o te ao hei rangatiratanga mō tō tātou Ariki, mō tāna Karaiti hoki;

ko ia anō hei kīngi ake ake."

16 Nā, ko ngā kaumātua e rua tekau mā whā, e noho rā i te aroaro o te Atua i runga i ō rātou torōna, ka takoto rātou, ko ō rātou kanohi ki raro, ka koropiko ki te Atua, 17 ka mea:

"Ko tā mātou whakawhetai tēnei ki a koe,

e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa;

tēnei koe ināianei, ā, i mua anō koe,

ā, kei te haere mai anō;

nō te mea kua riro i a koe tōu mana nui,

kua kīngi anō koe.

18 I riri hoki ngā iwi, ā, kua tae mai tōu riri

me te wā mō ngā tūpāpaku e whakawākia ai.

Te wā hoki e hoatu ai e koe he utu ki āu pononga,

ki ngā poropiti, ki te hunga tapu anō hoki,

ki te hunga anō e wehi ana i tōu ingoa,

ki te hunga nonohi, ki te hunga nunui;

e whakangaromia ai hoki te hunga e whakangaro nei i te whenua."

19 Ā, i whakapuaretia anō te whare o te Atua i roto i te rangi, ā, ka kitea te āka o tāna kawenata i roto i tōna whare; nā, he uira tērā, me ngā reo, me ngā whatitiri, me te rū, me te whatu nui.
