Fakahā 8

1 Pea kuo vete ʻe ia ʻa hono fitu ʻoe meʻa fakamaʻu, naʻe ai ʻae fakalongo pē ʻi he langi ʻi he vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻe taha.

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2 Pea ne u mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa lea ʻe fitu.

I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

3 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe taha, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau, kuo ʻiate ia ʻae ʻaiʻanga afi koula; pea naʻe ʻatu ʻo lahi ʻae ʻakau namu kakala kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻatu ia fakataha mo e ngaahi lotu ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau koula, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.

Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ki he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua mei he nima ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻae kohu ʻoe ʻakau namu kakala, pea mo e ngaahi lotu ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.

The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.

5 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻae ʻaiʻanga afi, pea ne fakapito ia ʻaki ʻae afi mei he ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne lī ia ki he fonua: pea naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi leʻo, mo e mana, mo e ʻuhila, mo e mofuike.

The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, then threw it on the earth. Thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake followed.

6 Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa lea ʻe fitu, naʻa nau teuteu ke ifi.

The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 Naʻe ifi ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻāngelo, pea naʻe hoko ai ʻae ʻuha maka mo e afi ʻoku afu ʻaki ʻae toto, pea naʻe lī ia ki he fonua: pea naʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau, pea naʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ʻae mohuku mata kotoa pē.

The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8 Pea ifi ʻe hono ua ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea hangē naʻe lī ai ki tahi ha fuʻu moʻunga ʻoku vela ʻi he afi: pea naʻe liliu ʻo toto ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe tahi;

The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,

9 Pea ko hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe moʻui ʻi he tahi, naʻe mate ia; pea naʻe maumau hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi vaka.

and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.

10 Pea ifi ʻe hono tolu ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae fetuʻu lahi mei he langi, ʻoku ulo ʻo hangē ha tūhulu, pea naʻe tō ia ki hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi matavai;

The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of water.

11 Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe fetuʻu naʻe ui ko “Konaʻiʻī:” pea naʻe fakakona ai hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi vai; pea naʻe mate ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi vai, koeʻuhi naʻe fakakona ia.

The name of the star is “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono fā ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea tā hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe laʻā, mo hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe māhina, mo hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu; ko ia ne fakapoʻuli ai hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻokinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai maama ʻae ʻaho ʻi hono tolu ʻo hono vahe, pea naʻe pehē pe mo e pō foki.

The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars, so that one third of them would be darkened; and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.

13 Pea ne u vakai, peau ongoʻi ʻoku puna ʻae ʻāngelo ʻe taha ʻi he loto langi, ʻo ne pehē ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Malaʻia, malaʻia, malaʻia, ki he kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he maama, koeʻuhi ʻi hono toe ʻoe leʻo ʻoe meʻa lea ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻe toko tolu, ʻoku teʻeki ai ifi!”

I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the other blasts of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”
