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, mo nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko: E mohio ana tatou kei a tatou katoa te matauranga. Ko ta te matauranga he whakapupuhi; ko ta te aroha ia he waihanga.
2Ki te mea tetahi e matau ana ia ki tetahi mea, kahore tona matauranga kia rite noa ki to te matauranga tikanga;
3Ki te aroha ia tetahi ki te Atua, kua matauria tenei e ia.
4Na reira mo te kai i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko, e mohio ana tatou he kore noa iho te whakapakoko i te ao, kahore hoki he atua ke, kotahi anake.
5Ahakoa hoki tera nga mea e kiia nei he atua, i te rangi ranei, i te whenua ranei; he tini nei hoki nga atua, he tini nga ariki;
6Ki a tatou ia kotahi ano Atua, ko te Matua, i ahu mai i a ia nga mea katoa, ko tatou ki a ia; kotahi hoki Ariki, ko Ihu Karaiti, nana nei nga mea katoa, nana hoki tatou.
7Otira kahore tera matauranga i nga tangata katoa: engari tera ano etahi, i te mea kua taunga ki te whakapakoko tae mai ki naianei, e kai ana i te mea i patua ma te whakapakoko; a ka poke to ratou hinengaro ngoikore.
8Ehara ra ia te kai i te mea e paingia ai tatou e te Atua: no te mea ahakoa kahore tatou e kai, e kore e heke iho to tatou pai; a ahakoa kai tatou, e kore e kake to tatou pai.
9Engari kia tupato ki tenei wahi i tukua nei ki a koutou, kei waiho hei whakahinga mo te hunga ngoikore.
10Ki te mea hoki ka kite tetahi i a koe, i te mea mohio, e noho ana ki te aki i roto i te temepara o te whakapakoko, e kore koia e kakama ake tona hinengaro, mehemea ia he ngoikore, e kakama ake ki te kai i nga mea e patua ana ma te whakapakoko?
11Ma tou matauranga hoki ka ngaro ai te mea ngoikore, te teina he whakaaro nei ki a ia i mate ai a te Karaiti.
12Na, i a koutou ka hara nei ki nga teina, ka patu nei i to ratou hinengaro ngoikore, e hara ana koutou ki a te Karaiti.
13Mo konei, ki te he toku teina i te kai, e kore rawa ahau e kai kikokiko ake tonu atu, kei he i ahau toku teina.
