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.
1Katahi nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ratou ko Hohanana tama a Karea, ko Tetania tama a Hohaia, ko te iwi katoa hoki, i te iti ki te rahi, ka haere mai,
2A ka mea ki a Heremaia poropiti, Tena, tukua atu ta matou inoi kia manaakitia ki tou aroaro; mau hoki e inoi mo matou ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ara mo enei morehu katoa; he torutoru noa hoki matou o te tokomaha i toe iho, e kite na ou kanohi i a m atou:
3Kia whakaaturia mai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a matou te ara e haere ai matou, te mea e mahi ai matou.
4Ano ra ko Heremaia poropiti ki a ratou, Kua rongo ahau ki a koutou; nana, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ka rite ki a koutou kupu na: a, ko nga kupu katoa e whakahokia mai e Ihowa ki a koutou, ka whakaaturia e ahau ki a koutou; e kor e tetahi kupu e kaiponuhia e ahau ki a koutou.
5Ano ra ko ratou ki a Heremaia, He pono, he tika hoki a Ihowa hei kaiwhakaatu mo ta tatou, ki te kahore e rite ta matou e mea ai ki nga kupu katoa e unga mai ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a matou.
6Ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino, ka rongo matou ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ka unga nei koe e matou ki a ia; kia whai pai ai matou, ki te rongo matou ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
7Na i te mutunga o nga ra kotahi tekau ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia.
8Katahi ia ka karanga ki a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ki te iwi katoa hoki, ki te iti, ki te rahi,
9A ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, i unga nei ahau e koutou ki te whakatakoto i ta koutou inoi ki tona aroaro;
10Ki te noho tonu koutou ki tenei whenua, katahi ahau ka hanga i a koutou, a kahore e wahi iho i a koutou, ka whakatokia hoki koutou e ahau, a kahore e hutia ake: no te mea e ripeneta ana ahau ki te kino kua oti nei i ahau te mea ki a koutou.
11Kaua e wehi i te kingi o Papurona, e wehingia na e koutou: kaua e wehi i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa; no te mea kei a koutou ahau hei whakaora i a koutou, hei tango i a koutou i roto i tona ringa.
12A ka tukua atu aku mahi atawhai ki a koutou, kia atawhai ai ia i a koutou, a ka whakahoki i a koutou ki to koutou oneone.
13Tena ki te mea koutou, E kore matou e noho ki tenei whenua; a ka kore koutou e rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua;
14Ka mea, Kahore; engari ka haere matou ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te wahi e kore ai matou e kite i te whawhai, e kore ai hoki e rongo i te tangi o te tetere, a e kore ai e hiakai ki te taro; a hei reira tatou noho ai:
15Na kia rongo koutou aianei, e nga morehu o Hura, ki te kupu a Ihowa, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ki te maro tonu o koutou kanohi ki te haere ki Ihipa, a ka haere koutou ki reira noho ai;
16Na ka mau koutou i te hoari, e wehingia nei e koutou, ki reira, ki te whenua o Ihipa, a ka whaia tatatia koutou e te hemokai, e wehi na koutou, ki reira, ki Ihipa; a ka mate koutou ki reira.
17Na ka pena nga tangata katoa e naro ana o ratou kanohi ki te haere ki Ihipa ki reira noho ai; ka mate ratou i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta: a e kore tetahi o ratou e toe, e mawhiti i te kino e takina mai e ahau ki runga ki a ratou.
18Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Ka rite ki taku ringihanga i toku riri, i toku weriweri, ki runga ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, ka pena ano taku ringihanga i toku weriweri ki runga ki a koutou, ina tae koutou ki Ih ipa: a hei kohukohutanga, hei hahanitanga; a e kore koutou e kite i tenei wahi a muri atu.
19Kua puaki ta Ihowa kupu mo koutou, E nga morehu o Hura, Kaua e haere ki Ihipa: kia tino mohio koutou kua oti te whakaatu e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra.
20Kua tinihanga hoki koutou ki o koutou na wairua ano; i unga hoki koutou i ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, i ki mai, Inoi mo matou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua; a, ko nga mea katoa e korerotia e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua, mau e whakaatu ki a mat ou, a ka mahia e matou.
21Na kua whakaaturia nei e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra; otira kihai koutou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, i nga mea katoa i unga ai ahau e ai ki a koutou.
22Ko tenei, kia tino mohio koutou, tera koutou e mate i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta, ki te wahi i hiahia ai koutou kia haere ki reira noho ai.
