Apocalipse 14

1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. 2 I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps. 3 They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. 4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.*14:5 TR adds "before the throne of God"

6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. 7 He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"

8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."

9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

12 Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."

13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’"

"Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them."

14 I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man,✝14:14 Daniel 7:13 having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!" 16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle. 18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!" 19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God. 20 The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.*14:20 1600 stadia = 296 kilometers or 184 miles

Te Reme me Ōna Hoa

1 Ā, i kite anō ahau, nā, ko te Reme e tū ana i Maunga Hiona, kotahi rau e whā tekau mā whā mano ōna hoa, ko tōna ingoa, me te ingoa o tōna Matua, he mea tuhituhi ki ō rātou rae. 2 Nā, ka rongo ahau i te reo i te rangi, tōna rite kei te haruru o ngā wai maha, kei te haruru anō o te whatitiri nui; ā, ko te reo i rongo ai ahau, ānō ko te reo o ngā kaiwhakatangi hāpa e whakatangi ana i ā rātou hāpa; 3 ā, ko tā rātou waiata me te mea he waiata hou i mua i te torōna, i mua hoki i ngā mea ora e whā, i ngā kaumātua anō hoki. E kore hoki e taea e tētahi te ako taua waiata, ko ngā mano anake kotahi rau e whā tekau mā whā, kua oti nei te hoko i runga i te whenua. 4 Ko te hunga tēnei kāhore nei i poke i te wahine; he wāhina hoki rātou. Ko te hunga tēnei e aru ana i te Reme ki ngā wāhi katoa e haere ai ia. He mea hoko ēnei i roto i ngā tāngata, he mātāmua ki te Atua, ki te Reme hoki. 5 Kāhore hoki he tinihanga i mau i ō rātou māngai; he kohakore rātou.

Ngā Anahera Tokotoru

6 I kite anō ahau i tētahi atu anahera e rere ana i waenganui o te rangi, kei a ia te rongopai mau tonu hei kauwhau māna ki te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ki ngā iwi katoa, ki ngā hapū, ki ngā reo, ki ngā huihuinga tāngata. 7 Ā, he nui tōna reo ki te mea, "Kia wehi koutou ki te Atua, hoatu ki a ia he korōria; kua tae mai hoki te hāora o tāna whakawā. Koropiko atu hoki ki a ia, ki te Kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua, o te moana, o ngā puna wai."

8 I aru mai anō tētahi atu anahera, i mea, "Kua horo, kua horo a Papurōna, te pā nui, i whakainu nei i ngā tauiwi katoa ki te wāina, o te riri o tōna moepuku."

9 I aru mai anō te toru o ngā anahera i a rāua, nui atu tōna reo ki te mea mai, "Ki te koropiko tētahi ki te kararehe, ki tōna whakapakoko hoki, ka tango hoki i te tohu ki tōna rae, ki tōna ringaringa rānei, 10 e inu anō ia i te wāina o te riri o te Atua, e ringihia nei, he mea kāhore i whakananua, ki roto ki te kapu o tōna riri; e whakamamaetia hoki ia i roto i te kāpura, i te whānāriki i te aroaro o ngā anahera tapu, i te aroaro hoki o te Reme. 11 Ā, kake ana te paoa o tō rātou whakamamaetanga ake ake. Kāhore hoki he okiokinga i te ao, i te pō, mō te hunga e koropiko ana ki te kararehe, ki tōna whakapakoko hoki, mō te tangata hoki e tango ana i te tohu o tōna ingoa."

12 Tēnei te manawanui o te hunga tapu, o te hunga e pupuri ana i ngā ture a te Atua, i te whakapono hoki o Īhu.

13 Ā, ka rongo ahau i tētahi reo i te rangi e mea ana, "Tuhituhia: Ka hari ngā tūpāpaku e mate nei i roto i te Ariki i ngā wā i muri nei."

"Āe rā!" e ai tā te Wairua, "kia okioki ai rātou i ā rātou mahi; e aru tahi hoki ā rātou mahi i a rātou."

Te Kotinga o te Ao

14 Ā, ka kite anō ahau, nā, he kapua mā; ā, i runga i te kapua e noho ana tētahi, tōna rite kei te Tama a te tangata, i runga anō i tōna māhunga he karauna kōura, i roto i tōna ringaringa he toronaihi koi. 15 Nā, ka puta mai tētahi atu anahera i te whare tapu, he nui tōna reo ki te karanga ki tērā e noho rā i runga i te kapua, "Ākina iho tāu toronaihi, kotia! Kua tae hoki te wā e kokoti ai. Kua maroke kē hoki te wīti o te ao." 16 Kātahi tērā e noho rā i runga i te kapua ka āki iho i tāna toronaihi ki te whenua, ā, ka kotia te whenua.

17 Ā, ka puta mai anō he anahera i roto i te whare tapu i te rangi, he toronaihi koi anō hoki tāna.

18 Nā, ka puta mai anō tētahi atu anahera i roto i te āta, kei a ia he mana ki te kāpura; he nui tōna reo ki te karanga ki tērā i te toronaihi koi, i mea ia, "Ākina iho tāu toronaihi koi, tapahia ngā tautau wāina o te whenua; kua maoa hoki ōna karepe." 19 Nā, ākina iho ana tāna toronaihi e te anahera ki te whenua, tapahia ana e ia te wāina o te whenua, pangā ana e ia, ki te takahanga nui o te riri o te Atua. 20 Nā, ka takahia te takahanga wāina i waho o te pā, ā, puta ake ana he toto i roto i te takahanga, tae noa ake ki ngā paraire o ngā hōiho, ā taea noatia ngā pāronga kotahi mano e ono rau.
