1After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”
1¶ Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na, he tatau kua oti te whakapuare i te rangi, a ko te reo tuatahi i rongo ai ahau me te mea he reo no tetahi tetere e ki mai ana ki ahau, e mea ana, Haere mai ki runga nei, a ka whakakitea e ahau ki a koe nga me a kua takoto mo muri i enei.
2Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
2I reira pu ano kua nohoia ahau e te Wairua: na, he torona kua tu ki te rangi, a ko tetahi i runga i te torona e noho ana;
3that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
3A ko tera i noho ra rite tonu ki te titiro atu ki te kohatu hahapa, ki te harariu: he aniwaniwa hoki i nga taha katoa o te torona, ko te ahua ki te titiro atu kei to te emerara.
4Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
4Na i nga taha katoa o te torona etahi torona e rua tekau ma wha: a ka kite ahau i runga i nga torona ko nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha e noho ana, he mea whakakakahu ki te kakahu ma; he karauna koura i runga i o ratou matenga.
5Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
5Na ka puta mai i roto i te torona he uira, he reo, he whatitiri. A tera nga rama ahi e whitu e ka ana i mua i te torona; ko nga Wairua e whitu enei o te Atua;
6Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
6I mua i te torona ano he moana karaihe, te rite kei te haupapa: a i waenganui o te torona, i nga taha katoa ano o te torona, ko nga mea ora e wha, kapi tonu a mua, a muri o ratou i te kanohi.
7The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
7Ko te tuatahi o nga mea ora i rite ki te raiona, ko te tuarua o nga mea ora i rite ki te kuao kau, ko te mata o te tuatoru o nga mea ora i rite ki to te tangata, a ko te tuawha o nga mea ora i rite ki te ekara e rere ana.
8The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy Hodges/Farstad MT reads “holy” 9 times instead of 3. is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”
8¶ Na, ko aua mea ora e wha, he parirau o ratou, e ono o tena, o tena, i nga taha katoa; ki tonu hoki a roto o ratou me nga taha i te kanohi: a kahore he tanga i te ao, i te po, he mea tonu ta ratou, Tapu, tapu, tapu, te Ariki, te Atua Kaha Rawa, i mua nei ia, tenei ano inaianei, a e haere mai nei.
9When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
9A i te mea ka hoatu e nga mea ora te kororia, te honore, te whakawhetai ki tera e noho ana i runga i te torona, e ora ana ake ake,
10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying,
10Ka hinga iho nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha ki te aroaro o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, na ka koropiko ki a ia e ora tonu nei ake ake, ka panga hoki i o ratou karauna ki mua o te torona, ka mea,
11“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, TR omits “and God, the Holy One,” to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”
11Tika tonu, e te Ariki, kia riro i a koe te kororia, me te honore, me te kaha: nau hoki i hanga nga mea katoa, a nau i pai i takoto ai aua mea, i hanga ai.
