Revelation 20-22
Maori Bible
20 A ka kite ahau i tetahi anahera e heke iho ana i te rangi, kei a ia te ki o te poka torere, me tetahi mekameka nui i tona ringaringa.
2 Na ka mau ia ki te tarakona, ki te nakahi onamata, ko te Rewera nei ia, ko Hatana hoki, ka herehere i a ia kotahi mano nga tau;
3 Ka maka i a ia ki te poka torere, uakina ana, whakapiri rawa te hiri ki runga ki a ia, kei whakapohehe ia i nga tauiwi i muri iho, kia taka ra ano nga tau kotahi mano: a muri iho i enei mea me wewete ia, he taima iti kau ia.
4 I kite ano ahau i nga torona, e noho ana hoki ratou i runga, i hoatu ano hoki te whakawa ki a ratou: i nga wairua hoki o te hunga i poutoa mo te whakaaturanga i a Ihu, mo te kupu hoki a te Atua, te hunga kahore i koropiko ki te kararehe, ki tona whakapakoko ranei, kihai hoki i meatia te tohu ki o ratou rae, ki o ratou ringaringa; na ka ora ratou, ka kingi tahi me te Karaiti, kotahi mano tau.
5 Kihai ia i ora ake te toenga o nga tupapaku, a taka noa nga tau kotahi mano. Ko te aranga tuatahi tenei.
6 Hari tonu, tapu tonu te tangata he wahi nei tona i te aranga tuatahi: e kore te matenga tuarua e whai mana ki a ratou; engari hei tohunga ratou ma te Atua, ma te Karaiti hoki, a kotahi mano nga tau e kingi tahi ai ratou me ia.
7 A, no ka pahemo nga tau kotahi mano, ka wetekina a Hatana i roto i tona whare herehere.
8 A ka haere ia ki te whakapohehe i nga tauiwi i nga pito e wha o te whenua, i a Koka raua ko Makoka, e huihui ai ratou ki te taua: ko te tokomaha o ratou rite tonu ki te onepu o te moana.
9 Na haere ana ratou ki te whanui o te whenua, karapotia ana e ratou te nohoanga o te hunga tapu, me te pa e arohaina ana: na ko te hekenga iho o te kapura i te Atua i te rangi, pau ake ratou.
10 Na, ko te rewera i whakapohehe nei i a ratou, panga ana ia ki te roto kapura whanariki, ki te wahi kei reira nei te kararehe me te poropiti teka, a ka whakamamaetia ratou i te ao, i te po, ake ake.
11 A ka kite ahau i tetahi torona nui, ma, i tetahi hoki e noho ana i runga, rere ana te whenua me te rangi i tona kanohi; kahore hoki i kitea he wahi mo raua.
12 I kite ano ahau i te hunga mate, i te hunga nunui, i te hunga ririki, e tu ana i mua o te torona; na kua whakatuwheratia nga pukapuka; kua whakatuwheratia ano hoki tetahi atu pukapuka, ko te pukapuka o te ora: kei nga mea hoki i tuhituhia ki aua pukapuka he whakawa mo te hunga mate, he mea whakarite tonu ki a ratou mahi.
13 I tukua mai ano e te moana te hunga mate i roto i a ia; i tukua mai hoki e te mate, e te po, te hunga mate i roto i a raua: na ka whakawakia tena tangata, tena, he mea whakarite ki a ratou mahi.
14 Na ka panga te mate me te po ki te roto ahi. Ko te tuarua tenei o nga mate, ara ko te roto ahi.
15 A, ki te kitea tetahi kihai i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o te ora, i panga ia ki te roto ahi.
21 A i kite ahau i te rangi hou, i te whenua hou: kua pahemo hoki te rangi tuatahi, me te whenua tuatahi; a kahore atu he moana.
2 I kite ano ahau i te pa tapu, i Hiruharama hou, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua, rite rawa, ano he wahine marena hou kua oti te whakapaipai mo tana tane.
3 I rongo ano ahau i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana, Na, kei nga tangata te tapenakara o te Atua, a e noho ia ki a ratou, ko ratou hoki hei iwi mana, ko te Atua nei ano hei a ratou, hei Atua mo ratou:
4 Ka murua hoki e ia nga roimata katoa i o ratou kanohi; a kore ake he mate; kahore hoki he aue, kahore he tangi, kahore he mamae, i nga wa i muri nei: kua pahemo atu hoki nga mea o mua.
5 A ka korero mai tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, Na, ka hanga houtia e ahau nga mea katoa. I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tuhituhia: no te mea he pono, he tika enei kupu.
6 I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Kua oti enei mea. Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te timatanga, te whakamutunga. Ka hoatu noa e ahau ki te tangata matewai he wai i te puna o te wai o te ora.
7 Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitoria, e whiwhi ia ki enei mea; ko ahau hoki hei Atua mona, ko ia hei tama maku.
8 Na, ko te hunga wehi, ko te hunga whakateka, ko te hunga whakarihariha, ko nga kaikohuru, ko te hunga moepuku, ko te hunga makutu, ko te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, ko te hunga teka katoa, ko te wahi mo ratou kei te roto e ka ana i te ahi, i te whanariki: ko te matenga tuarua tenei.
9 Na ka haere mai ki ahau tetahi o nga anahera e whitu, kei a ratou nei nga oko e whitu e ki ana i nga whiu whakamutunga e whitu; ka ki mai ki ahau, ka mea, Haere mai, maku e whakakite ki a koe te wahine marena hou, te wahine a te Reme.
10 Na haria ana ahau e ia i roto i te Wairua ki tetahi maunga nui, tiketike, a ka whakakitea mai ki ahau te pa tapu, a Hiruharama, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua.
11 Kei taua pa ano te kororia o te Atua: rite tonu tona marama ki to te kohatu utu nui whakaharahara, ano he kohatu hahapa, marama tonu me he karaihe;
12 He taiepa kohatu ano tona, he mea nui, tiketike, tekau ma rua nga tatau, kotahi tekau ma rua ano nga anahera i nga tatau, tuhituhi rawa ki te ingoa, ara ki nga ingoa o nga hapu kotahi tekau ma rua o nga tama a Iharaira:
13 I te rawhiti e toru nga tatau; i te hauraro e toru nga tatau; i te tonga e toru nga tatau; i te hauauru e toru nga tatau.
14 A ko te taiepa o te pa, kotahi tekau ma rua ona turanga, kei aua turanga ano nga ingoa o nga apotoro a te Reme, kotahi tekau ma rua.
15 Na, ko tera i korero ra ki ahau, he kakaho koura tana hei whanganga mana i te pa, i ona tatau, i tona taiepa kohatu.
16 Na, ko te takoto o te pa, e wha nga poti, tona roa rite tonu ki tona whanui: na ka whangangatia e ia te pa ki te kakaho, kotahi tekau ma rua mano nga paronga. Ko tona roa, ko te whanui, ko te ikeike, rite tonu.
17 Na ka whangangatia ano e ia tona taiepa, kotahi rau e wha tekau ma wha nga whatianga, he ruri na te tangata, ara na te anahera.
18 Na ko te mea i hanga ai tona taiepa he hahapa: he koura parakore ano hoki te pa, rite tonu ki te karaihe marama.
19 Ko nga turanga o te taiepa o te pa he mea whakapaipai ki nga kohatu utu nui katoa. Ko te turanga tuatahi he hahapa; ko te tuarua, he hapaira; ko te tuatoru, he karakeroni; ko te tuawha, he emerara;
20 Ko te tuarima, he hararonika; ko te tuaono, he harariu; ko te tuawhitu, he karihorita; ko te tuawaru, he perira; ko te tuaiwa, he topaha; ko te ngahauru, he karihoparaha; ko te tekau ma tahi, he hakiniti; ko te tekau ma rua, he ametihita.
21 Na, ko nga tatau kotahi tekau ma rua, kotahi tekau ma rua peara: ko tenei tatau, ko tenei tatau, kotahi tonu peara: ko te huarahi hoki o te pa he koura parakore, ko ia ano kei te karaihe piata.
22 Na kihai ahau i kite i tetahi whare tapu i reira: ko te Ariki hoki, ko te Atua Kaha Rawa raua ko te Reme te whare tapu o reira.
23 Kahore hoki taua pa i mea ki te ra mona, ki te marama ranei, hei whiti ki roto: e whakamaramatia ana hoki a reira e te kororia o te Atua, ko te Reme hoki tona mamara.
24 E haere hoki nga tauiwi i waenganui o tona marama: a e kawea mai ano hoki e nga kingi o te ao to ratou kororia ki reira.
25 E kore hoki ona tatau e tutakina i te awatea; kore ake hoki o reira po:
26 A e kawea mai hoki te kororia me te honore o nga tauiwi ki reira:
27 E kore ano e tomo ki roto tetahi mea whakanoa, te tangata ranei e mahi ana i te whakarihariha, i te teka ranei: ko te hunga anake kua oti te tuhituhi ki ta te Reme pukapuka o te ora.
22 Na ka whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau he awa wai ora, piata tonu me te karaihe, e puta mai ana i te torona o te Atua raua ko te Reme,
2 I waenganui o tona huarahi. Na i tenei taha o te awa, a i tera taha, ko te rakau o te ora, kotahi tekau ma rua ona momo hua, e hua ana ona hua i tetahi marama, i tetahi marama: a ko nga rau o te rakau hei whakaora mo nga tauiwi.
3 A kore ake he kanga i muri nei: ko reira ano hoki te torona o te Atua raua ko te Reme; a ka mahi ana pononga ki a ia:
4 E kite hoki ratou i tona kanohi; ka mau hoki tona ingoa ki o ratou rae.
5 A kore ake o reira po; kore ake o ratou meatanga ki te marama o te rama, ki te marama hoki o te ra; e marama hoki ratou i te Ariki, i te Atua: a e kingi ratou ake ake.
6 I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, He pono, he tika enei kupu: kua tonoa hoki e te Ariki, e te Atua o nga poropiti tapu, tana anahera, hei whakakite mai ki ana pononga i nga mea ka hohoro nei te meinga.
7 Na ka hohoro toku haere atu: ka hari te tangata e whakarite ana i nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka.
8 A ko ahau, ko Hoani, tenei i rongo nei, i kite nei i enei mea. A, no toku rongonga, no toku kitenga, ka hinga ahau ki raro, ka mea kia koropiko ki mua i nga waewae o te anahera i whakakitea mai ai enei mea ki ahau.
9 Na ko tana meatanga mai ki ahau, Kauaka: he hoa pononga hoki ahau nou, no ou tuakana hoki, no nga poropiti, no te hunga ano e pupuri ana i nga kupu o tenei pukapuka: me koropiko ki te Atua.
10 Na ka mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Kaua e hiritia nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka: e tata ana hoki te taima.
11 Ko te tangata e he ana te whakahaere, kia he ano te whakahaere: ko te tangata e poke ana, kia poke ano ia: ko te tangata e tika ana, kia tika ano ia: ko te tangata e tapu ana, kia tapu ano ia.
12 Na, ka hohoro toku haere atu; kei ahau ano taku utu, a ka rite ki ana mahi ake nga mea e hoatu ki tetahi, ki tetahi.
13 Ko ahau te Arepa, te Omeka, te tuatahi, te whakaotinga, te timatanga, te whakamutunga.
14 Ka hari te hunga e horoi ana i o ratou kakahu, kia taunga ai ratou te haere mai ki te rakau o te ora, ka tomo ano ki te pa ra nga tatau.
15 Kei waho nga kuri, me te hunga makutu, me te hunga moepuku, me nga kaikohuru, me te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, me te hunga katoa e pai ana, e mahi ana i te teka.
16 Kua tonoa e ahau, e Ihu, taku anahera, hei whakaatu i enei mea ki a koutou i roto i nga hahi. Ko ahau te pakiaka, te uri o Rawiri, te whetu marama o te ata.
17 E mea ana hoki te Wairua me te wahine marena hou, Haere mai. Me ki ake ano e te tangata e rongo ana, Haere mai. Kia haere mai hoki te tangata e hiainu ana: kia tangohia noatia ano te wai ora e te tangata e hiahia ana.
18 He whakaatu hoki naku tenei ki te hunga katoa e rongo ana ki nga kupu o te poropititanga o tenei pukapuka, Ki te tapiritia mai e tetahi ki enei mea, ka tapiritia atu ano e te Atua mona nga whiu kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka:
19 A ki te tangohia atu e tetahi he kupu i te pukapuka o tenei poropititanga, ka tangohia e te Atua tona wahi i roto i te pukapuka o te ora, i te pa tapu hoki, i nga mea hoki kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka.
20 Tenei te ki nei te Kaiwhakaatu o enei mea, Na, ka hohoro ano toku haere atu. Amine. Ae ra, haere mai, e te Ariki, e Ihu.
21 Kia tau ki te hunga tapu katoa te atawhai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti. Amine.

Revelation 20-22
New International Version
The Thousand Years
20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,(A) having the key(B) to the Abyss(C) and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan,(D) and bound him for a thousand years.(E) 3 He threw him into the Abyss,(F) and locked and sealed(G) it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations(H) anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
4 I saw thrones(I) on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge.(J) And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded(K) because of their testimony about Jesus(L) and because of the word of God.(M) They[a] had not worshiped the beast(N) or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.(O) They came to life and reigned(P) with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.(Q) 6 Blessed(R) and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death(S) has no power over them, but they will be priests(T) of God and of Christ and will reign with him(U) for a thousand years.
The Judgment of Satan
7 When the thousand years are over,(V) Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations(W) in the four corners of the earth(X)—Gog and Magog(Y)—and to gather them for battle.(Z) In number they are like the sand on the seashore.(AA) 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded(AB) the camp of God’s people, the city he loves.(AC) But fire came down from heaven(AD) and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them,(AE) was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,(AF) where the beast(AG) and the false prophet(AH) had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.(AI)
The Judgment of the Dead
11 Then I saw a great white throne(AJ) and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence,(AK) and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,(AL) standing before the throne, and books were opened.(AM) Another book was opened, which is the book of life.(AN) The dead were judged(AO) according to what they had done(AP) as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades(AQ) gave up the dead(AR) that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.(AS) 14 Then death(AT) and Hades(AU) were thrown into the lake of fire.(AV) The lake of fire is the second death.(AW) 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life(AX) was thrown into the lake of fire.
A New Heaven and a New Earth
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[b](AY) for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,(AZ) and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City,(BA) the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,(BB) prepared as a bride(BC) beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.(BD) They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.(BE) 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.(BF) There will be no more death’[c](BG) or mourning or crying or pain,(BH) for the old order of things has passed away.”(BI)
5 He who was seated on the throne(BJ) said, “I am making everything new!”(BK) Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”(BL)
6 He said to me: “It is done.(BM) I am the Alpha and the Omega,(BN) the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost(BO) from the spring of the water of life.(BP) 7 Those who are victorious(BQ) will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.(BR) 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars(BS)—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.(BT) This is the second death.”(BU)
The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues(BV) came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride,(BW) the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away(BX) in the Spirit(BY) to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.(BZ) 11 It shone with the glory of God,(CA) and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper,(CB) clear as crystal.(CC) 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates,(CD) and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.(CE) 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations,(CF) and on them were the names of the twelve apostles(CG) of the Lamb.
15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod(CH) of gold to measure the city, its gates(CI) and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia[d] in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human(CJ) measurement, and it was 144 cubits[e] thick.[f] 18 The wall was made of jasper,(CK) and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.(CL) 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.(CM) The first foundation was jasper,(CN) the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby,(CO) the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[g] 21 The twelve gates(CP) were twelve pearls,(CQ) each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.(CR)
22 I did not see a temple(CS) in the city, because the Lord God Almighty(CT) and the Lamb(CU) are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God(CV) gives it light,(CW) and the Lamb(CX) is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.(CY) 25 On no day will its gates(CZ) ever be shut,(DA) for there will be no night there.(DB) 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.(DC) 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,(DD) but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.(DE)
Eden Restored
22 Then the angel showed me the river(DF) of the water of life,(DG) as clear as crystal,(DH) flowing(DI) from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life,(DJ) bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.(DK) 3 No longer will there be any curse.(DL) The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.(DM) 4 They will see his face,(DN) and his name will be on their foreheads.(DO) 5 There will be no more night.(DP) They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.(DQ) And they will reign for ever and ever.(DR)
John and the Angel
6 The angel said to me,(DS) “These words are trustworthy and true.(DT) The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,(DU) sent his angel(DV) to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”
7 “Look, I am coming soon!(DW) Blessed(DX) is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”(DY)
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.(DZ) And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet(EA) of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.(EB) Worship God!”(EC)
10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up(ED) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,(EE) because the time is near.(EF) 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”(EG)
Epilogue: Invitation and Warning
12 “Look, I am coming soon!(EH) My reward is with me,(EI) and I will give to each person according to what they have done.(EJ) 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,(EK) the First and the Last,(EL) the Beginning and the End.(EM)
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes,(EN) that they may have the right to the tree of life(EO) and may go through the gates(EP) into the city.(EQ) 15 Outside(ER) are the dogs,(ES) those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 “I, Jesus,(ET) have sent my angel(EU) to give you[h] this testimony for the churches.(EV) I am the Root(EW) and the Offspring of David,(EX) and the bright Morning Star.”(EY)
17 The Spirit(EZ) and the bride(FA) say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.(FB)
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:(FC) If anyone adds anything to them,(FD) God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.(FE) 19 And if anyone takes words away(FF) from this scroll of prophecy,(FG) God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life(FH) and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things(FI) says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”(FJ)
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.(FK)
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.(FL) Amen.
