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.
1E kore ahau e pai, e oku teina, kia kuware koutou, i raro katoa o matou matua i te kapua, i haere katoa ano hoki ra roto i te moana;
2I iriiria ano ratou katoa ki a Mohi i roto i te kapua, i roto hoki i te moana;
3A i kai ratou i te kai kotahi, he mea wairua;
4I inu hoki ratou katoa i te wai kotahi, he mea wairua; no te mea i inu ratou i ta te mea wairua, ara i ta te toka i whai nei i a ratou: a ko taua toka ra ko te Karaiti.
5Otiia kihai te Atua i ahuareka ki te nuinga o ratou; i turakina iho hoki ratou i te koraha.
6Na, hei tohu enei mea ki a tatou, kia kaua tatou e hiahia ki nga mea kino, kei pera me ratou i hiahia ra.
7Kaua ano koutou e karakia ki nga whakapakoko, kei pera me etahi o ratou; kua oti ra hoki te tuhituhi, I noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, a whakatika ana ki te takaro.
8Kaua hoki tatou e moepuku, kei pera me etahi o ratou i moepuku, a hinga ana e rua tekau ma toru nga mano i te ra kotahi.
9Kaua hoki tatou e whakamatautau i a te Karaiti, kei pera me etahi o ratou i whakamatautau ra, a ngaro ana i te nakahi.
10Kaua hoki koutou e amuamu, kei pera me etahi o ratou i amuamu, a ngaro ana ratou i te kaiwhakangaro.
11Na, i pa enei mea ki a ratou hei tohu: kua tuhituhia nei hoki hei whakatupato i a tatou, i te hunga ka tae nei ki nga whakamutunga o te ao.
12Na reira ko te tangata e mea ana e tu ana ia, kia tupato ia kei hinga.
13Kahore ano kia pono ki a koutou tetahi whakamatautau e rere ke ana i to te tangata: he pono hoki te Atua, e kore nei e tuku kia nui ake i to koutou kaha te whakamatautau mo koutou; engari tahi me te whakamatautau ka meatia e ia he putanga, kia u ake ai koutou.
14Na reira, e oku hoa aroha, rere atu i te karakia whakapakoko.
15Ko taku korero nei he mea ki te hunga mahara; whakaaroa taku e mea nei.
16Ko te kapu whakapainga e whakapai nei tatou, ehara koia i te inu tahi i nga toto o te Karaiti? Ko te taro e whatiwhatia nei e tatou, ehara ianei i te kai tahi i te tinana o te Karaiti?
17Ina hoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, kotahi ano taro, kotahi ano tinana; kotahi tonu nei hoki taua taro e kainga nei e tatou katoa.
18Whakaaroa a Iharaira o te kikokiko; he teka ianei ko te hunga e kai ana i nga patunga tapu, e uru tahi ana ki to te aata?
19Na, he pehea ra taku korero? he tikanga mea ranei te mea e patua na ma te whakapakoko? he tikanga mea ranei te whakapakoko?
20Otira e ki ana ahau, ko nga mea e patua ana e nga tauiwi, e patua ana ma nga rewera, he teka ma te Atua: e kore hoki ahau e pai kia uru tahi koutou ko nga rewera.
21E kore koutou e ahei te inu i te kapu a te Ariki, i te kapu ano a nga rewera: e kore koutou e ahei te kai i te tepu a te Ariki, i te tepu hoki a nga rewera.
22E mea ana ranei tatou kia hae mai te Ariki? he kaha koia tatou i a ia?
23He tika nga mea katoa, otira e kore e pai katoa: he tika nga mea katoa, otira e kore e oti te waihanga e nga mea katoa.
24Kaua tetahi e rapu ki tana ake, engari me rapu katoa i te pai mo tera, mo tera.
25Ko nga mea katoa e hokona ana i te makete, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei he te hinengaro:
26No te Ariki hoki te whenua me ona tini mea.
27Ki te karangatia koutou e tetahi o te hunga whakaponokore, a ka pai koutou kia haere; ko nga mea katoa e whakatakotoria mai ki to koutou aroaro, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei he te hinengaro.
28Ki te mea ia tetahi ki a koutou, I patua tenei ma te whakapakoko, kaua e kai, me whakaaro ki te kaiwhakaatu, ki te hinengaro hoki:
29Ko te hinengaro, e ki ana ahau, ehara i tou, engari ko to tetahi; he aha toku herekoretanga kia whakakorea e tera atu hinengaro?
30Ki te mea hoki na te aroha noa ahau i kai ai, he aha ahau i korerotia kinotia ai mo te mea i whakawhetai ai ahau?
31Na reira, ahakoa kai, ahakoa inu, aha ranei, meinga katoatia hei whakakororia mo te Atua.
32Kei waiho koutou hei tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki ranei, ki te hahi ranei a te Atua;
33Kia penei me ahau e whakamanawareka nei i te katoa i nga mea katoa, i ahau kahore nei e rapu i te pai moku ake, engari i to te tokomaha, kia ora ai ratou.
