15  A i kite ahau i tetahi atu tohu i te rangi, he mea nui, he mea whakamiharo, tokowhitu nga anahera kei a ratou nga whiu whakamutunga e whitu; ko te whakaotinga hoki enei o te riri a te Atua.

A ka kite ahau he mea e rite ana ki te moana karaihe, he mea whakananu ki te kapura; me te hunga i kaha i te kararehe, i tona whakapakoko hoki, i tana tohu, i te whika ano hoki o tona ingoa, e tu ana i runga i te moana karaihe, kei a ratou ano ng a hapa a te Atua.

Kei te waiata hoki ratou i te waiata a Mohi, pononga a te Atua, me te waiata ano a te Reme; i mea ratou, He nui au mahi, e miharotia ana, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa; tika tonu ou ara, pono tonu, e te Kingi o nga whakatupuranga.

Ko wai e kore e wehi i a koe, e te Ariki, e kore hoki e whakakororia i tou ingoa? ko koe anake hoki te tapu ana; ka haere mai hoki nga tauiwi katoa, ka koropiko ki tou aroaro; kua whakakitea hoki au tikanga tika.

A i muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na kua puare te whare tapu o te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga i te rangi:

Na ka puta mai i roto i te whare tapu nga anahera e whitu, i a ratou nei nga whiu e whitu, he mea tatai ki te kohatu utu nui, kahore he koha, kanapa tonu, a ko o ratou uma he mea whitiki ki te whitiki koura.

A ka hoatu e tetahi o nga mea ora e wha ki nga anahera e whitu etahi oko koura e whitu, ki tonu i te riri o te Atua e ora nei a ake ake.

Na kua ki te whare tapu i te paoa, he mea na te kororia o te Atua, na tona kaha hoki: kihai hoki tetahi tangata i ahei te tomo ki te whare tapu, kia mutu ra ano nga whiu e whitu a nga anahera e whitu.

Seven Angels With Seven Plagues

15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign:(A) seven angels(B) with the seven last plagues(C)—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. And I saw what looked like a sea of glass(D) glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious(E) over the beast(F) and its image(G) and over the number of its name.(H) They held harps(I) given them by God and sang the song of God’s servant(J) Moses(K) and of the Lamb:(L)

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,(M)
    Lord God Almighty.(N)
Just and true are your ways,(O)
    King of the nations.[a]
Who will not fear you, Lord,(P)
    and bring glory to your name?(Q)
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
    and worship before you,(R)
for your righteous acts(S) have been revealed.”[b]

After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple(T)—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law(U)—and it was opened.(V) Out of the temple(W) came the seven angels with the seven plagues.(X) They were dressed in clean, shining linen(Y) and wore golden sashes around their chests.(Z) Then one of the four living creatures(AA) gave to the seven angels(AB) seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.(AC) And the temple was filled with smoke(AD) from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple(AE) until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
