9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1Na ka mea a Rawiri, Kahore ranei he morehu inaianei o te whare o Haora, kia puta ai toku aroha ki a ia, he mea hoki naku ki a Honatana?
2Na he pononga tera no te whare o Haora, ko tona ingoa ko Tipa: na ka karangatia ia ki a Rawiri, a ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Ko Tipa koe? Ka mea tera, Tenei tau pononga.
3Na ka mea te kingi, Kahore ianei tetahi o te whare o Haora, kia whakaputaina ai e ahau to te Atua aroha ki a ia? Na ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Tenei ano tetahi tama a Honatana, he kopa nga waewae.
4Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kei hea? Ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Na, kei te whare o Makiri, tama a Amiere, kei Rotepara.
5Katahi a Kingi Rawiri ka unga tangata ki te tiki i a ia i te whare o Makiri, tama a Amiere, i Rotepara.
6A ka tae mai a Mepipohete tama a Honatana tama a Haora ki a Rawiri, ka tapapa, ka piko. Na ka mea a Rawiri, E Mepipohete. Ano ra ko tera, Tenei tau pononga.
7Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, Kaua e wehi; ka puta hoki toku aroha ki a koe, he whakaaro hoki ki a Honatana ki tou papa, me whakahoki ano e ahau ki a koe te mara katoa a Haora, a tou papa; me kai taro tonu ano koe ki taku tepu.
8Na ka piko iho ia, ka mea, He aha tau pononga, i titiro mai ai koe ki tenei kuri mate, i ahau nei?
9Katahi ka karanga te kingi ki a Tipa, ki te tangata a Haora, ka mea ki a ia, Ko nga mea katoa a Haora i mua, a tona whare katoa hoki, kua hoatu e ahau ki te tama a tou ariki.
10Ko koe hoki hei kaimahi mana i te oneone, koutou ko au tama, ko au pononga, ka kohi ai i nga hua; a ka whai taro te tama a tou ariki hei kai mana: ko Mepipohete ia ko te tama a tou ariki, me kai taro tonu ia ki taku tepu. Na, kotahi tekau ma rim a nga tama a Tipa, e rua tekau nga pononga.
11Katahi ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Ka rite ta tau pononga e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua mai e toku ariki, e te kingi, ki tana pononga. Ko Mepipohete ia e ai ta te kingi me kai ki taku tepu; ka rite ki tetahi o nga tama a te kingi.
12Na he tama ta Mepipohete he mea nohinohi, ko tona ingoa ko Mika: he pononga ano na Mepipohete te hunga katoa e noho ana i te whare o Tipa.
13Heoi noho ana a Mepipohete ki Hiruharama: i kai tonu hoki ia ki te tepu a te kingi; he kopa ano ona waewae e rua.
