< Revelation 4 >

1 After this I looked, and beholde, a doore was open in heauen, and the first voyce which I heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with mee, saying, Come vp hither, and I will shewe thee things which must be done hereafter.
Pea hili eni, ne u mamata, pea vakai, kuo fakaava ʻae matapā ʻi he langi: pea ko e ʻuluaki leʻo ʻaia ne u ongoʻi naʻe hangē ko e meʻa lea ʻoku lea kiate au; pea ne pehē mai, “Haʻu ki ʻolunga ni, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu ke hoko ʻamui.”
2 And immediatly I was rauished in the spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heauen, and one sate vpon the throne.
Pea fakafokifā pe kuo u ʻi he Laumālie: pea vakai, ne tuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi he langi, pea nofo ʻae tokotaha ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
3 And he that sate, was to looke vpon, like vnto a iasper stone, and a sardine, and there was a rainbowe rounde about the throne, in sight like to an emeraude.
Pea ko ia naʻe nofo ai naʻe matamata [lelei ]ʻo hangē ko e maka ko e sasipa mo e satino; pea naʻe takatakai ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻe he ʻumata, naʻe hā mai ʻo hangē ko e ʻemalata.
4 And round about the throne were foure and twentie seates, and vpon the seates I sawe foure and twentie Elders sitting, clothed in white raiment, and had on their heads crownes of golde.
Pea naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe nofoʻa ʻe uofulu ma fā: pea ne u mamata ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻa ʻae mātuʻa ʻe toko uofulu ma toko fā, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu hinehina; pea naʻe ai ʻi honau ʻulu ʻae ngaahi pale koula.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, and thundrings, and voyces, and there were seuen lampes of fire burning before the throne, which are the seuen spirits of God.
Pea naʻe hā mai mei he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae ʻuhila mo e mana mo e ngaahi leʻo: pea naʻe ulo ʻae maama afi ʻe fitu ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻaia ko e Laumālie ʻe Fitu ʻoe ʻOtua.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glasse like vnto chrystall: and in the middes of the throne, and round about the throne were foure beasts full of eyes before and behinde.
Pea naʻe ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae tahi sioʻata ʻo hangē ko e kalisitala: pea naʻe ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻae faʻahinga meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, kuo fonu ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mata ʻi ʻao pea mo tuʻa.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calfe, and the thirde beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying Eagle.
Pea ko e ʻuluaki meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko e laione, ko hono ua ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko e pulu, ko hono tolu ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe mata tatau mo e tangata, pea ko hono fā ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko ha ʻikale ʻoku puna.
8 And the foure beasts had eche one of them sixe wings about him, and they were full of eyes within, and they ceased not day nor night, saying, Holy, holy, holy Lord God almighty, Which Was, and Which Is, and Which Is to come.
Pea ko e meʻa moʻui ʻe fā naʻa nau taki ono ʻae kapakau; pea naʻa nau pito ʻi loto ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mata: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō, kae pehē pe, “Māʻoniʻoni, māʻoniʻoni, māʻoniʻoni, ʻE ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi, ʻAia naʻe ʻi ai, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ni, pea ʻe ʻi ai.”
9 And when those beasts gaue glorie, and honour, and thanks to him that sate on the throne, which liueth for euer and euer, (aiōn g165)
Pea ʻi he ʻatu ʻe he ngaahi meʻa moʻui ko ia ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kiate ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku moʻui lauikuonga pea taʻengata, (aiōn g165)
10 The foure and twentie Elders fell downe before him that sate on the throne and worshipped him that liueth for euermore, and cast their crownes before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
Naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻae mātuʻa e toko uofulu ma toko fā ʻi he ʻao ʻo ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻonau hū kiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata, pea naʻa nau lī honau ngaahi pale ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, mo nau pehē, (aiōn g165)
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receiue glory and honour, and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy wils sake they are, and haue beene created.
“ʻOku taau mo koe, ʻE ʻEiki, Ke ke maʻu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei mo e māfimafi: He kuo ke fakatupu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, Pea naʻe ngaohi ia pea ʻoku kei ai ni, ʻi hoʻo finangalo pe koe ki ai.”
