Revelation 9
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
A ka whakatangi te rima o nga anahera, a ka kite ahau i tetahi whetu no te rangi kua taka iho ki te whenua: a ka hoatu ki a ia te ki o te poka torere. (Abyssos g12)
2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
A uakina ana e ia te poka torere; a ka puta ake he paoa i te poka, ano he paoa no tetahi kapura nui; a pouri iho te ra me te rangi i te paoa o te poka. (Abyssos g12)
3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
A ka puta mai i te paoa he mawhitiwhiti ki runga ki te whenua; i hoatu hoki ki a ratou he kaha, he pera me te kaha o nga kopiona o te whenua.
4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
I korerotia hoki ki a ratou kia kaua e kino i a ratou te tarutaru o te whenua, tetahi mea matomato ranei, tetahi rakau ranei; ko nga tangata anake kahore nei te hiri a te Atua i o ratou rae.
5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man.
I tukua ano hoki ki a ratou kia kaua e whakamate i era, engari me whakamamae kia rima ra ano nga marama: a ko ta ratou whakamamae kia pera me te whakamamae a te kopiona, ina wero i te tangata.
6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them.
A i aua ra tera nga tangata e rapu i te mate, a e kore rawa e kitea; e hiahia ano ratou kia mate, heoi ka oma te mate i a ratou.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces.
Na ko te waihanga o nga mawhitiwhiti rite tonu ki nga hoiho kua oti te whakanoho mo te pakanga: a i runga i o ratou matenga he mea e rite ana ki nga karauna koura, a ko o ratou kanohi ano he kanohi tangata.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.
He makawe ano to ratou rite tonu ki te makawe wahine, ko o ratou niho me te mea no te raiona.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war.
He pukupuku hoki o ratou, ano he pukupuku rino; a ko te haruru o o ratou pakau, ano ko te haruru o nga hariata, o nga hoiho maha e rere ana ki te tatauranga.
10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months.
He hiku o ratou pera i o nga kopiona, he wero hoki: a kei o ratou hiku to ratou kaha ki te whakamamae tangata mo nga marama e rima.
11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek [tongue] he hath the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
He kingi ano to ratou, ko te anahera o te poka torere; ko tona ingoa i te reo Hiperu ko Aparona, a i te reo Kariki ko Aporiona tona ingoa. (Abyssos g12)
12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.
Kua pahemo te tuatahi o nga aue; na e rua ake nga aue kei te haere mai i muri.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Na ka whakatangi te ono o nga anahera, a ka rongo ahau ki tetahi reo, e ahu mai ana i nga haona e wha o te aata koura i te aroaro o te Atua,
14 one saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
E mea ana ki te ono o nga anahera, kei a ia nei te tetere, Wetekina nga anahera tokowha e here ra i te awa nui, i Uparati.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men.
Na ka wetekina aua anahera tokowha, kua noho rite noa ake nei mo te haora, me te ra, me te marama, me te tau, e whakamate ai ratou i te wahi tuatoru o nga tangata.
16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them.
A ko te tokomaha o nga taua o nga hoia eke hoiho e rua tekau mano nga tekau mano; i rongo hoki ahau ki to ratou tokomaha.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates [as] of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone.
Ko taku tenei i kite ai i ahau e titiro matakite ana, ko nga hoiho me nga kainoho i runga he pukupuku o ratou, ano he ahi, he hakiniti, he whanariki: na, ko nga upoko o nga hoiho, ano he upoko raiona; e puta mai ana hoki i o ratou mangai he kapu ra, he paoa, he whanariki.
18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.
Na enei mate e toru i patu te wahi tuatoru o nga tangata, na te kapura, na te paoa, na te whanariki, i puta mai i o ratou mangai.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they do hurt.
Ko te kaha hoki o nga hoiho kei o ratou mangai, kei o ratou waero: ko o ratou waero koia ano kei te nakahi, he upoko o ratou; ko a ratou mea tukino enei.
20 And the rest of mankind, which were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:
Na, ko era atu tangata, kihai nei i whakamatea e enei mate, kahore ratou i ripeneta ki nga mahi a o ratou ringaringa, kihai hoki i mutu to ratou koropiko ki nga rewera, ki nga whakapakoko koura, hiriwa, parahi, kohatu, rakau ranei; ki nga mea ka hore nei e kite, kahore e rongo, kahore e haereere:
21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Kahore ano hoki ratou i ripeneta ki a ratou kohuru, ki a ratou mahi makutu, ki a ratou moepuku, ki a ratou tahae.
