Revelation of John 5

A i kite ano ahau i te ringa matau o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, he pukapuka kua oti te tuhituhi a roto, a tua hoki, he mea hiri ki nga hiri e whitu.

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

A i kite ahau i tetahi anahera kaha e karanga ana, he nui te reo, Ko wai e tika ana hei whakatuwhera i te pukapuka, hei wawahi i ona hiri?

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

A kihai i taea e tetahi i te rangi, i te whenua ranei, i raro ranei i te whenua, te whewhera i te pukapuka, te titiro ranei ki reira.

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

Na nui atu toku tangi, no te mea kihai i kitea tetahi e tika ana hei whewhera i te pukapuka, hei titiro iho ranei ki reira:

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

Na ka mea mai tetahi o nga kaumatua ki ahau, Kaua e tangi, na, kua riro te wikitoria i te Raiona o te hapu o Hura, i te Putake o Rawiri, mana e whakatuwhera te pukapuka, e wawahi ona hiri e whitu.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

A i kite ano ahau, na, i waenganui o te torona, o nga mea ora hoki e wha, i waenganui ano hoki o nga kaumatua, he Reme e tu ana, te ahua kei to te mea i whakamatea, e whitu ona haona, e whitu nga kanohi; ko nga Wairua e whitu enei o te Atua, kua tonoa nei puta noa i te ao.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Na ka haere atu ia, ka tango i te pukapuka i roto i te matau o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona.

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

A, no ka tango ia i te pukapuka, ka hinga iho nga mea ora e wha, me nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha, ki te aroaro o te Reme, he hapa i tetahi, i tetahi o ratou, me nga oko koura ki tonu i nga mea kakara, ko nga inoi era a te hunga tapu.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Na ka waiata ratou i te waiata hou, ka mea, Pai tonu koe hei tango i te pukapuka, hei wahi i ona hiri: i whakamatea hoki koe, a hokona ana matou e koe hei hunga ma te Atua ki ou toto, i roto i nga hapu, i nga reo, i nga huihuinga tangata, i nga i wi katoa;

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

A meinga ana ratou e koe hei kingi, hei tohunga ki to matou Atua: ka kingi ano ratou ki runga ki te whenua.

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Na i kite ahau, i rongo hoki ahau i te reo o nga anahera maha i nga taha katoa o te torona, o nga mea ora hoki, o nga kaumatua: na ko to ratou tokomaha kei nga mano tekau mano tekau, me nga mano mano;

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Nui atu to ratou reo ki te mea mai, Pai tonu te Reme i whakamatea hei tango i te kaha, i te taonga, i te matauranga, i te mana, i te honore, i te kororia, i te whakapai.

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

I rongo ano ahau ki nga mea hanga katoa o te rangi, o te whenua, i raro ano hoki i te whenua, ki era hoki i te moana, ki nga mea katoa o reira, e mea ana, Waiho atu i tenei e noho nei i runga i te torona, i te Reme hoki, te whakapai, te honore, te kororia, te kaha a ake ake.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Na ka mea nga mea ora e wha, Amine. A ka hinga iho nga kaumatua, ka koropiko.

And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
