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.
2E te tama a te tangata, korero ki nga tamariki a tou iwi, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te kawea e ahau te hoari ki tetahi whenua, a ka mau nga tangata o te whenua ki tetahi tangata o ratou, ka whakaritea e ratou hei tutei;
3Mehemea, i tona kitenga i te hoari e puta ana ki te whenua, ka whakatangihia e ia te tetere, hei whakatupato i te iwi;
4Na, ko te tangata e rongo i te tangi o te tetere, a kahore ia e tupato, ki te tae mai te hoari, a ka riro ia, hei runga ano i tona mahunga ona toto:
5I rongo ia i te tangi o te tetere, a kihai i tupato; ki runga ano i a ia ona toto. Tena ia, mehemea ia i tupato, ka mawhiti i a ia tona wairua.
6Engari ki te kite te tutei i te hoari e puta ana, a kihai i whakatangi i te tetere, kihai i whakatupato i te iwi, a ka tae mai te hoari, ka riro tetahi o ratou; ka riro ia i runga i tona kino, otiia ka rapua e ahau ona toto i te ringa o te tutei.
7Ina, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kua waiho koe e ahau hei tutei mo te whare o Iharaira; a me whakarongo koe ki te kupu a toku mangai, ko koe ano taku hei whakatupato i a ratou.
8Ki te mea ahau ki te tangata kino, E te tangata kino, ko te mate kau mou; ki te kore koe e korero, e whakatupato i te tangata kino ki tona ara; ka mate taua tangata kino i runga i tona he, ka rapua ia e ahau ona toto i tou ringa.
9Tena ko tenei ka whakatupato koe i te tangata kino ki tona ara, kia tahuri mai ia i reira, a e kore ia e tahuri mai i tona ara; ka mate ia i runga i tona kino, ka ora ia i a koe tou wairua.
10Na ko koe e te tama a te tangata, korero ki te whare o Iharaira: Ko ta koutou ki tenei, e mea na koutou, Kei runga i a matou o matou he, o matou hara, a ka memeha atu matou i runga i aua he; ma te aha ra matou ka ora ai?
11Mea atu ki a ratou, E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kahore oku ngakau koa ki te matenga o te tangata kino; engari kia tahuri te tangata kino i tona ara, kia ora: tahuri mai, tahuri mai koutou i o koutou ara kino; kia mate hoki koutou hei aha, e te whare o Iharaira?
12Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, me ki atu ki nga tamariki a tou iwi, E kore te tika o te tangata tika e whakaora i a ia i te ra e poka ke ai ia: me te kino ano o te tangata kino e kore tera e whakahinga i a ia i te ra e tahuri mai ai ia i to na kino; e kore ano te tangata tika e ora i tona tika i te ra e hara ai ia.
13Ki te mea ahau ki te tangata tika, ka ora ia; a ka whakawhirinaki ia ki tona tika, ka mahi hoki i te he, e kore ana mahi tika katoa e maharatia; engari ka mate ia i runga i tona he i mahia e ia.
14Ki te mea ano ahau ki te tangata kino, Ko te mate kau mou; a ka tahuri mai ia i tona hara, ka mahi i te mea e tika ana, e rite ana;
15Ki te whakahokia te taunaha e te tangata kino, ki te utua te mea i pahuatia e ia, ki te haere ia i runga i nga tikanga o te ora, a ka kore e mahi i te he, he pono ka ora ia, e kore ia e mate.
16E kore tetahi o ona hara i hara ai ia e maharatia ki a ia: kua mahia e ia te mea e tika ana, e rite ana; he pono ka ora ia.
17Heoi kei te mea nga tamariki a tou iwi, Kahore e rite te ara o te Ariki: na, ko ratou nei, kahore to ratou ara e rite.
18Ki te tahari atu te tangata tika i tona tika, a ka mahia e ia te he, ka mate ia i aua he.
19Ki te tahuri mai ano te tangata kino i tona kino, a ka mahia e ia te mea e tika ana, e rite ana, ka ai ena hei whakaora i a ia.
20Heoi kei te mea na koutou, Kahore e rite te ara o te Ariki. E te whare o Iharaira, ka rite ki tona ara, ki tona ara, taku whakawa mo koutou.
21Na, i te tekau ma rua o nga tau o to matou whakaraunga, i te tekau o nga marama, i te rima o nga ra o te marama, ka tae mai ki ahau tetahi o nga oranga o Hiruharama, a ka mea, Kua patua te pa.
22Na, kua pa te ringa o Ihowa ki ahau i te ahiahi i mua ake o te taenga mai o taua oranga nei; meinga ana e ia kia kuihi toku mangai, a tae noa mai ia ki ahau i te ata; na, kua meinga e ia kia kuihi toku mangai, a kore ake toku wahangu.
23Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i ki ia,
24E te tama a te tangata, ko te hunga e noho ana i enei ururua i te whenua o Iharaira, e korero ana, e mea ana, He kotahi a Aperahama, a riro ana i a ia te whenua; ko tatou ia he tokomaha; kua homai te whenua ki a tatou hei kainga tupu.
25Mo reira ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ko ta koutou kai, he mea kinaki ki te toto, e anga ana hoki o koutou kanohi ki a koutou whakapakoko, e whakaheke toto ana hoki koutou: a e mau ranei te whenua i a koutou?
26Ko to koutou turanga ko a koutou hoari, e mahia ana e koutou te mea whakarihariha, e whakapokea ana e koutou te wahine a tona hoa, a tona hoa: a e mau ranei te whenua i a koutou?
27Kia penei tau ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: E ora ana ahau, ina, ka hinga i te hoari te hunga i nga ururua, a, ko te tangata i te mata o te parae, ka hoatu ia e ahau hei kai ma nga kirehe, a, ko te hunga i nga taumaihi, i nga ana, ka mate ratou i te mate uruta.
28Ka ururua rawa i ahau te whenua, ka waiho hei keteketenga, a ka mutu te whakapehapeha o tona kaha; ka ururua ano nga maunga o Iharaira, e kore e haerea e te tangata.
29A ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina meinga e ahau te whenua hei ururua, hei keteketenga, mo a ratou mea whakarihariha katoa i mea ai ratou.
30Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, e komuhumuhua ana koe e nga tama a tou iwi i te taha o nga pakitara, i nga tatau ano o nga whare, e korerorero ana tetahi ki tetahi, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, e mea ana, Tena, kia haere tatou, kia rongo ai tat ou i te kupu e puta mai ana i a Ihowa.
31A ko ta ratou haere mai ki a koe rite tonu ki te haerenga mai o te iwi; ko ta ratou noho i tou aroaro rite tonu ano ki to taku iwi; e rongo ana hoki ratou ki au kupu, kahore ia e mahi: ko o ratou mangai hoki hei whakaahuareka mai, ko o ratou nga kau kei te whai i ta ratou apo taonga.
32Nana, ki a ratou, e rite ana koe ki te waiata roreka a te reo pai, a te tangata he pai te rangi o tana mea whakatangi; e rongo ana hoki ratou ki au kupu, kahore ia e mahi.
33A, ina puta tenei, nana, tenei te haere mai nei, katahi ratou ka mohio tenei tonu he poropiti i roto i a ratou e noho ana.
