¹I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”

¹¶ A i kite ahau i te wahanga o tetahi o nga hiri e te Reme, i rongo hoki i tetahi o nga mea ora e wha e mea mai ana, ano he reo whatitiri, Haere mai.

²And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

²I kite ano ahau, na, he hoihoi ma: a ko te tangata e noho ana i runga he kopere tana; a ka hoatu he karauna ki a ia: a haere atu ana ia i runga i te wikitoria ki te wikitoria.

³When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”

³¶ A i tana wahanga i te rua o nga hiri ka rongo ahau i te rua o nga mea ora e mea ana, Haere mai.

⁴Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.

⁴Na ka puta mai tetahi hoiho ano, he hoiho whero: a i hoatu ki te kainoho i runga kia tangohia atu e ia te rangimarie i runga i te whenua, kia patu ai ratou tetahi i tetahi: i hoatu ano hoki he hoari nui ki a ia.

⁵When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.

⁵A i tana wahanga i te toru o nga hiri ka rongo ahau i te toru o nga mea ora e mea ana, Haere mai. A i kite ahau, na, he hoiho mangu; me te kainoho i runga he pauna taimaha tana kei tona ringaringa.

⁶I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix A choenix is a dry volume measure that is a little more than a litre (a little more than a quart). of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”

⁶A ka rongo ahau i te reo, ano i waenganui o nga mea ora e wha, e mea ana, He kuata witi mo te pene, e toru kuata parei mo te pene; kei kino hoki tau mahi ki te hinu, ki te waina.

⁷When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”

⁷A i tana wahanga i te wha o nga hiri, ka rongo ahau i te reo o te wha o nga mea ora, e mea ana, Haere mai.

⁸And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades or, Hell followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

⁸A ka kite ahau, na, he hoiho ha ma: a ko te kainoho i runga, tona ingoa ko te Mate, me te aru ano te Reinga i a ia. Na i hoatu ki a raua te tikanga ki te tuawha o nga wahi o te whenua, kia whakamatea ki te hoari, ki te matekai, ki te mate turoro, ki nga kararehe hoki o te whenua.

⁹When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.

⁹¶ A i tana wahanga i te rima o nga hiri, ka kitea e ahau i raro i te aata nga wairua o te hunga i whakamatea mo te kupu a te Atua, mo ta ratou whakaatu hoki:

¹⁰They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

¹⁰Nui atu to ratou reo ki te karanga, ki te mea, Kia pehea te roa, e te Ariki, e te tapu, e te pono, a kore ana koe e whakawa, e rapu utu mo o matou toto, i te hunga e noho ana i runga i te whenua?

¹¹A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

¹¹A i hoatu he kakahu ma ki tenei, ki tenei o ratou; a i kiia atu ki a ratou, kia okioki ratou he wa iti nei, kia rite ra ano o ratou hoa pononga me o ratou teina, i meinga nei kia patua, kia peratia me ratou.

¹²I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.

¹²A ka kite ahau i tana wahanga i te ono o nga hiri, na, ko te ru nui; a ka mangu te ra ano he kakahu taratara, puhuruhuru, a ko te marama pena katoa i te toto;

¹³The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.

¹³A ka taka iho nga whetu o te rangi, ano he piki e whakangahoro nei i ona hua koriri, ina rurea ia i te hau nui.

¹⁴The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

¹⁴Na ka tahia atu te rangi me te pukapuka e whakakopaia ana; a ka nekehia atu nga maunga katoa me nga motu i o ratou turanga.

¹⁵The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.

¹⁵Na, ko nga kingi o te whenua, ko nga tangata nunui, ko nga tangata taonga, ko nga rangatira mano, ko nga tangata kaha, ko nga pononga katoa, me nga rangatira katoa, piri ana ratou ki roto ki nga ana, ki nga toka o nga maunga;

¹⁶They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

¹⁶Me te ki ake ano ratou ki nga maunga, ki nga toka, E hinga ki runga ki a matou, hei huna i a matou i te kanohi o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, i te riri hoki o te Reme:

¹⁷for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?”

¹⁷Kua taea hoki te ra nui o tona riri; a ko wai e tu?
