Revelation of John 18

A muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau i tetahi atu anahera e heke iho ana i te rangi, he mana nui tona; marama tonu hoki te ao i tona kororia.

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

He nui hoki tona reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Kua horo, kua horo a Papurona nui, kua meinga hei kainga rewera, hei whare herehere hoki mo nga wairua poke katoa, hei whare herehere mo nga manu poke katoa, mo nga manu whakarihariha.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Na te waina hoki o te riri o tona moepuku i horo ai nga tauiwi katoa; i moepuku hoki nga kingi o te whenua ki a ia, a kua whiwhi nui nga kaihoko o te ao i te taonga i te nui o ana mea whakaahuareka.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

I rongo ano ahau i tetahi atu reo i te rangi, e mea ana, Puta mai koutou i roto i a ia, e toku iwi, kei uru tahi koutou ki ona hara, kei pangia koutou e ona whiu:

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Kua tutuki hoki ona hara ki te rangi, kua mahara te Atua ki ana mahi he.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Hoatu ki a ia tana i homai ai ki a koutou, takiruatia nga mea mona, kia rite ki ana mahi: ko te kapu i whakakiia e ia kia rua a koutou whakakinga mona.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Na kia rite ki tana whakanuinga i a ia, ki tona toreretanga ki ana mea whakaahuareka, kia pera ano te mamae me te pouri e hoatu e koutou ki a ia: e mea ana hoki ia i tona ngakau, E noho ana ahau hei kuini, ehara hoki ahau i te pouaru, e kore ano hoki ahau e kite i te pouri.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Mo konei ano ka tae mai ona whiu i te ra kotahi, te mate, te pouri, te matekai; a ka tahuna ia kia pau rawa i te ahi: he kaha hoki te Ariki, te Atua, e whakawa nei i a ia.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

A, ko nga kingi o te ao i moepuku nei ki a ia, i torere ngatahi nei ki ana mea whakaahuareka, tera e tangi ki a ia, e aue ki a ia, ina kite ratou i te paoa o tona tahunga;

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti i te wehi ki tona whakamamae, ka mea, Aue, aue, te pa nui, Papurona, te pa kaha! kua tae mai hoki tou whakawa i te haora kotahi.

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Ka tangi ano hoki nga kaihoko o te whenua, ka aue ki a ia; no te mea kahore atu he tangata hei hoko i ta ratou utanga;

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

I te utanga o te koura, o te hiriwa, o te kohatu utu nui, o te peara, o te rinena pai, o te papura, o te hiraka, o te kahu whero; me nga rakau taina katoa, me nga tini oko rei, me nga tini oko rakau utu nui whakaharahara, oko parahi, rino, maper e,

The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

Me te hinamona, me nga mea kakara, me te hinu kakara, me te parakihe, me te waina, me te hinu, me te paraoa pai, me te witi, me nga kararehe, me nga hipi; me te utanga o nga hoiho, o nga hariata, o nga pononga; me nga wairua tangata.

And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Heoi ko nga hua i matea nuitia e tou ngakau kua mawehe atu i a koe, a kua mahue hoki koe i nga mea reke katoa, i nga mea papai, a heoi ano te kitenga o aua mea e te tangata.

And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

Ko nga kaihoko o enei mea, kua whai taonga nei i a ia, ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti i te wehi ki tona whakamamae, me te tangi, me te aue ano ratou,

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

Me te ki, Aue, aue, te pa nui, i kakahuria ki te rinena pai, ki te papaura, ki te whero, i tataitia ki te koura, ki te kohatu utu nui, ki nga peara!

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

Kotahi tonu hoki te haora a moti rawa iho taua taonga nui. Na ko nga rangatira kaipuke katoa, ko te hunga katoa e rere ana ra te kaipuke ki ia wahi, ko nga kaiwhakatere kaipuke, me te hunga katoa ano kei te moana a ratou mahi, tu mai ana ratou i tawhiti,

For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

Me te karanga ano ratou i to ratou kitenga i te paoa o tona tahunga, me te ki, Ko tehea pa i rite ki tenei pa nui?

And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

Opehia ana hoki e ratou he puehu ki a ratou mahunga, kei te karanga ratou, me te tangi, me te aue, kei te mea, Aue, aue, te pa nui, i whai taonga ai i ona utu nui te hunga katoa he kaipuke a ratou i te moana! kotahi tonu nei hoki te haora a moti rawa iho.

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Kia hari ki a ia, e te rangi, e te hunga tapu, e nga apotoro, e nga poropiti ano hoki; kua whakaritea nei hoki e te Atua ta koutou whakawa i a ia.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

Katahi ka hapaingia ake e tetahi anahera kaha he kamaka i rite nei ki tetahi kamaka rahi no te mira, a maka ana e ia ki te moana, me te ki ano ia, Ka peneitia a Papurona, te pa nui, ka maka whakareretia atu, e kore ano hoki e kitea i muri nei.

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

Na heoi ano rongonga i roto i a koe ki te reo o nga kaiwhakatangi hapa, o nga kaiwhakatakoto rangi waiata, o nga kaiwhakatangi i nga putorino, i nga tetere; e kore ano hoki e kitea i nga wa i muri nei tetahi kaimahi o nga tini mahi i roto i a ko e; e kore ano hoki e rangona i nga wa i muri nei te haruru o te kohatu mira i roto i a koe;

And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

E kore ano hoki e whiti i nga wa i muri nei te marama o te rama i roto i a koe; e kore ano hoki e rangona i nga wa i muri nei te reo o te tane marena hou, o te wahine marena hou, i roto i a koe: ou kaihokohoko hoki ko nga tangata nunui o te ao; na au mahi makutu ano hoki i pohehe ai nga iwi katoa.

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

I kitea ano hoki i roto i a ia nga toto o nga poropiti, o te hunga tapu, o te hunga katoa hoki i whakamatea ki runga ki te whenua.

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
