Revelation of John 4

Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na, he tatau kua oti te whakapuare i te rangi, a ko te reo tuatahi i rongo ai ahau me te mea he reo no tetahi tetere e ki mai ana ki ahau, e mea ana, Haere mai ki runga nei, a ka whakakitea e ahau ki a koe nga me a kua takoto mo muri i enei.

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

I reira pu ano kua nohoia ahau e te Wairua: na, he torona kua tu ki te rangi, a ko tetahi i runga i te torona e noho ana;

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

A ko tera i noho ra rite tonu ki te titiro atu ki te kohatu hahapa, ki te harariu: he aniwaniwa hoki i nga taha katoa o te torona, ko te ahua ki te titiro atu kei to te emerara.

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Na i nga taha katoa o te torona etahi torona e rua tekau ma wha: a ka kite ahau i runga i nga torona ko nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha e noho ana, he mea whakakakahu ki te kakahu ma; he karauna koura i runga i o ratou matenga.

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Na ka puta mai i roto i te torona he uira, he reo, he whatitiri. A tera nga rama ahi e whitu e ka ana i mua i te torona; ko nga Wairua e whitu enei o te Atua;

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

I mua i te torona ano he moana karaihe, te rite kei te haupapa: a i waenganui o te torona, i nga taha katoa ano o te torona, ko nga mea ora e wha, kapi tonu a mua, a muri o ratou i te kanohi.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Ko te tuatahi o nga mea ora i rite ki te raiona, ko te tuarua o nga mea ora i rite ki te kuao kau, ko te mata o te tuatoru o nga mea ora i rite ki to te tangata, a ko te tuawha o nga mea ora i rite ki te ekara e rere ana.

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

Na, ko aua mea ora e wha, he parirau o ratou, e ono o tena, o tena, i nga taha katoa; ki tonu hoki a roto o ratou me nga taha i te kanohi: a kahore he tanga i te ao, i te po, he mea tonu ta ratou, Tapu, tapu, tapu, te Ariki, te Atua Kaha Rawa, i mua nei ia, tenei ano inaianei, a e haere mai nei.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

A i te mea ka hoatu e nga mea ora te kororia, te honore, te whakawhetai ki tera e noho ana i runga i te torona, e ora ana ake ake,

And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

Ka hinga iho nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha ki te aroaro o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, na ka koropiko ki a ia e ora tonu nei ake ake, ka panga hoki i o ratou karauna ki mua o te torona, ka mea,

The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

Tika tonu, e te Ariki, kia riro i a koe te kororia, me te honore, me te kaha: nau hoki i hanga nga mea katoa, a nau i pai i takoto ai aua mea, i hanga ai.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
