1 Pea ne u vakai ʻi he vete ʻe he Lami ʻae meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe taha, pea ne u fanongo, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuʻulu ʻoe mana, pea ko e tokotaha ʻi he meʻa moʻui ʻe fā naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
And when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals I saw it, and I heard one of the four living creatures say, as if in a voice of thunder, "Come."
2 Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi hinehina pea naʻe ʻiate ia naʻe heka ai ʻae kaufana; pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae pale: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi he ikuna ki he ikuna.
And I looked and a white horse appeared, and its rider carried a bow; and a victor's wreath was given to him; and he went out conquering and in order to conquer.
3 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono ua ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea u fanongo ki hono ua ʻoe meʻa moʻui, ʻoku pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
And when the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come."
4 Pea ʻalu atu ʻae hoosi ʻe taha naʻe kulokula: pea naʻe tuku kiate ia naʻe heka ai ke ne toʻo ʻae melino mei māmani, pea ke nau fetāmateʻaki ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae heletā lahi.
And another horse came out--a fiery-red one; and power was given to its rider to take peace from the earth, and to cause men to kill one another; and a great sword was given to him.
5 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono tolu ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea u fanongo ki hono tolu ʻoe meʻa moʻui, naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.” Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi ʻuliʻuli; pea naʻe ʻi he nima ʻo ia naʻe heka ai ʻae meʻa fakatatau.
When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come." I looked, and a black horse appeared, its rider carrying a balance in his hand.
6 Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo, mei he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, naʻe pehē mai, “Ko e puha fua ʻoe uite ki he tenali ʻe taha, mo e puha fua ʻe tolu ʻoe paʻale ki he tenali ʻe taha; pea ʻoua naʻa ke maumauʻi ʻae lolo mo e uaine.”
And I heard what seemed to be a voice speaking in the midst of the four living creatures, and saying, "A quart of wheat for a shilling, and three quarts of barley for a shilling; but do not injure either the oil or the wine."
7 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono fā ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, peau fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo hono fā ʻoe meʻa moʻui, naʻe pehē mai, “Haʻu ʻo mamata.”
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come."
8 Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e hoosi tea: pea ko e hingoa ʻo ia naʻe heka ai ko e Mate, pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Hētesi. Pea naʻe tuku kiate kinaua ʻae mālohi ki hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻo māmani, ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e honge, mo e mate, pea mo e fanga manu fekai ʻoe fonua. (Hadēs g86)
I looked and a pale-colored horse appeared. Its rider's name was Death, and Hades came close behind him; and authority was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword or with famine or pestilence or by means of the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia hono nima ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, ne u mamata ʻi he lalo ʻesifeilaulau ki he ngaahi laumālie ʻokinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi koeʻuhi ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻa nau fai:
When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw at the foot of the altar the souls of those whose lives had been sacrificed because of the word of God and of the testimony which they had given.
10 Pea naʻa nau tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki māʻoniʻoni mo moʻoni, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa, mo hoʻo taʻefakamaau mo taʻetotongia homau toto kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he maama?”
And now in loud voices they cried out, saying, "How long, O Sovereign Lord, the holy One and the true, dost Thou delay judgment and the taking of vengeance upon the inhabitants of the earth for our blood?"
11 Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻae kofu hinehina tōtōlofa; pea naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu, ke nau kei tatali ke fuoloa siʻi, kaeʻoua ke kātoa honau kaungā tamaioʻeiki mo honau kāinga, ʻakinautolu ʻe tāmateʻi ʻo hangē pe ko kinautolu.
And there was given to each of them a long white robe, and they were bidden to wait patiently for a short time longer, until the full number of their fellow bondservants should also complete--namely of their brethren who were soon to be killed just as they had been.
12 Pea ne u mamata ʻi heʻene vete hono ono ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mofuike lahi; pea hoko ʻae laʻā ʻo ʻuliʻuli ʻo hangē ha tauangaʻa fulufulu, pea hoko ʻae māhina ʻo hangē ko e toto;
When the Lamb broke the sixth seal I looked, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as dark as sackcloth, and the whole disc of the moon became like blood.
13 Pea naʻe mokulu ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi ki he fonua, ʻo hangē ko e lī hifo ʻe he fiki ʻa hono ngaahi kauloa, ʻoka lūluuʻi ia ʻe he matangi lahi.
The stars in the sky also fell to the earth, as when a fig-tree, upon being shaken by a gale of wind, casts its unripe figs to the ground.
14 Pea naʻe mole ʻae langi ʻo hangē ha tohi ʻoka tākai ia; pea ko e moʻunga mo e motu kotoa pē naʻe hiki mei honau potu.
The sky too passed away, as if a scroll were being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15 Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea mo e ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e kau koloaʻia, mo e kau ʻeikitau, mo e kau mālohi, mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē, mo e kau tauʻatāina kotoa pē, naʻa nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi luo mo e ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga;
The kings of the earth and the great men, the military chiefs, the wealthy and the powerful--all, whether slaves or free men--hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
16 Mo nau pehē ki he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngaahi maka, “Hinga mai kiate kimautolu, ʻo fufū ʻakimautolu mei he fofonga ʻo ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea mei he houhau ʻoe Lami:
while they called to the mountains and the rocks, saying, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb;
17 He kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho lahi ʻo hono houhau; pea ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ai?”
for the day of His anger--that great day--has come, and who is able to stand?"
