Revelation 1
1 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John,
Ko te whakakitenga a Ihu Karaiti, i homai nei e te Atua ki a ia, kia whakapuakina ki ana pononga nga mea meake nei rite; na whakaaturia mai ana e ia, ara e tana anahera i tonoa mai e ia, ki tana pononga, ki a Hoani:
2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
Ko ia nei te pono o te kupu a te Atua, o te whakaaturanga hoki a Ihu Karaiti, ara o nga mea katoa i kite ai ia.
3 Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near.
Ka hari te tangata e titiro ana i te pukapuka, me te hunga ano hoki e whakarongo ana ki nga kupu o te poropititanga, e pupuri ana hoki i nga mea kua oti te tuhituhi ki reira: kua tata hoki te taima.
4 John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which [are] before his throne;
Na Hoani ki nga hahi e whitu i Ahia: Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea nana e ora nei ia, i mua ano ia, a kei te haere mai ano; he mea hoki na nga Wairua e whitu i mua i tona torona;
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,
He mea ano na Ihu Karaiti, na te kaiwhakaatu pono, ko ia nei te putanga matamua o te hunga mate, te rangatira o nga kingi o te whenua. Ki a ia, i arohaina nei tatou e ia, i horoia ano hoki o tatou hara ki ona toto,
6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
A meinga ana tatou e ia hei kingi, hei tohunga ki te Atua, ara ki tona Matua; waiho atu ki a ia te kororia me te kaha ake tonu atu. Amine. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.
Tenei ia te haere mai nei me nga kapua, e kite hoki i a ia nga kanohi katoa, me te hunga hoki i wero i a ia: ka aue ano hoki nga hapu katoa o te whenua ki a ia. Ae, Amine.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te timatanga, te whakamutunga, e ai ta te Ariki, e ora nei, i mua ano ia, a kei te haere mai ano, ko te Kaha Rawa nei ia.
9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
Ko ahau tenei, ko Hoani, ko to koutou tuakana, kua uru tahi nei ki te tukinotanga, ki te rangatiratanga ano hoki, ki te manawanui kei roto i a Ihu, i te motu ahau e huaina nei ko Patamo, he mea hoki mo te kupu a te Atua, mo te whakaatu hoki i a I hu.
10 I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
I te Wairua ahau i te ra o te Ariki, a ka rongo ahau i te reo nui i muri i ahau, me te mea no te tetere,
11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
E mea ana, Tuhituhia ki te pukapuka tau e kite nei, tukua atu hoki ki nga hahi e whitu i Ahia; ki Epeha, ki hamurana, ki Perekamu, ki Taiataira, ki Harariha, ki Parerepia, ki Raorikia.
12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
Na ka tahuri ake ahau kia kite i te reo i korero nei ki ahau. A, i taku tahuritanga ake, ka kite ahau i nga turanga rama koura e whitu;
13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
A i waenganui o nga turanga rama ko tetahi e rite ana ki te Tama a te tangata, ko tona kakahu tatu noa ki nga waewae, he mea whitiki te uma ki te whitiki koura;
14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
A ko tona matenga me nga makawe ma tonu, ano he wuuru ma, he hukarere; ko ona kanohi, ano he mura ahi;
15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
A ko ona waewae rite tonu ki te parahi pai, ano e ka ana i roto i te oumu; ko tona reo, ano ko te tangi a nga wai maha.
16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
E whitu hoki nga whetu i tona ringa matau: a i puta mai i tona mangai he hoari matarua, he mea koi: ko tona kanohi, ano kei te ra ina kaha te whiti mai.
17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
A, no toku kitenga i a ia, hinga ana ahau ki ona waewae, ano he tangata kua mate. Na ka whakapangia mai e ia tona ringaringa matau ki ahau, ka mea ki ahau, Kaua e mataku; ko ahau te tuatahi, te whakamutunga:
19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
Na reira tuhituhia nga mea kua kite nei koe, nga mea onaianei nei, me nga mea e puta mai a muri ake nei;
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. — The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.
Ko te mea ngaro, ko nga whetu e whitu i kite nei koe i toku matau, me nga turanga rama koura e whitu. Ko nga whetu e whitu, ko nga anahera o nga hahi e whitu: ko nga turanga rama e whitu, ko nga hahi e whitu.
