Malachi 1-4
Maori Bible

1  Ko te poropititanga, he kupu na Ihowa ki a Iharaira, he mea na Maraki.

2 I aroha ahau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa, heoi e mea na koutou, He aroha aha tou ki a matou? He teka ianei he tuakana a Ehau no Hakopa? e ai ta Ihowa; heoi i aroha ahau ki a Hakopa,

3 Engari i kino ahau ki a Ehau, a i meinga e ahau ona maunga hei ururua, a hoatu ana tona kainga tupu ki nga kirehe mohoao o te koraha.

4 Ko Eroma ia e ki ana, Kua pehia tatou ki raro, otiia ka hoki tatou, ka hanga i nga tuhea; ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ma ratou e hanga, a maku e wahi; a ka huaina aua wahi, Ko te rohe kino, Ko te iwi i riri ai a Ihowa a ake ake.

5 E kite ano o koutou kanohi, a ka mea koutou, Kia whakanuia a Ihowa i tua i te rohe o Iharaira.

6 E whakahonoretia ana te papa e te tama, tona ariki e te pononga: ki te mea he matua ahau, kei hea toku honore? ki te mea he ariki ahau, kei hea te wehi ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano ki a koutou, e nga tohunga e whakahawea na ki toku ingoa, e mea na koutou, He whakahawea aha ta matou ki tou ingoa?

7 He taro poke ta koutou e tapae na i runga i taku aata, a e mea na koutou, I whakapokea koe e matou ki te aha? Ki ta koutou e ki na, Ko te tepu a Ihowa, he hanga mo te whakahawea.

8 Ki te tapaea hoki e koutou te matapo hei patunga tapu, ehara i te mea kino! ki te tapaea ano e koutou te mea totitoti, te mea mate, ehara i te kino! tena koa, hoatu aianei ki tou kawana; e pai ranei ia ki a koe? e manako ranei ia ki tou tinana? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

9 Na, tena ra, inoi ki te Atua kia atawhai ki a tatou: na ta koutou mahi tenei: e manako ranei ia ki tetahi o koutou? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

10 Aue, me kore noa ake tetahi o koutou hei tutaki i nga tatau, kei whakau kau koutou i te ahi ki runga ki taku aata! Kahore oku ngakau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, e kore ano ahau e manako ki te whakahere a to koutou ringa.

11 Ka nui nei hoki toku ingoa i roto i nga tauiwi, i te whitinga o te ra a tae noa ki tona torengitanga; a ka tukua he whakakakara ki toku ingoa i nga wahi katoa, me te whakahere pokekore; ka nui hoki toku ingoa i roto i nga tauiwi, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

12 Ko koutou ia kei te whakapoke i taua ingoa, i a koutou e ki na, Ko te tepu a Ihowa he poke; ko ona hua, ko tana kai, he hanga mo te whakahawea.

13 E mea ana ano koutou, Nana, te whakahoha! whakatupererutia iho e koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; a maua mai ana e koutou te mea i haea, te mea totitoti, te mea mate; na kei te mau mai i te whakahere; e manakohia ranei tenei mea a to koutou rin ga? e ai ta Ihowa.

14 He kanga ia mo te tangata tinihanga, he toa nei tana i roto i tana kahui, na ka puaki tana ki taurangi, a patua ana e ia te mea he ma te Ariki; he kingi nui hoki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, he hanga whakawehi ano toku ingoa i roto i nga taui wi.

2  Na inaianei he whakahau tenei mo koutou, e nga tohunga.

2 Ki te kore koutou e rongo, ki te kore e takoto i o koutou ngakau kia homai he kororia ki toku ingoa, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ina ka tukua atu e ahau he kanga ki a koutou, ka kanga ano e ahau a koutou manaaki: ae ra, kua oti ano i ahau te kanga, no te mea kahore i te ngoto ki o koutou ngakau.

3 Nana, ka riria e ahau te purapura, he mea mo koutou, ka akiritia atu hoki he paru kararehe ki runga ki o koutou mata, ara ko te paru o a koutou whakahere; a ka riro tahi atu koutou me tena.

4 A ka mohio koutou naku tenei whakahau i tuku ki a koutou, kia mau ai taku kawenata ki a Riwai, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

5 I a ia taku kawenata mo te ora, mo te rongo mau; he mea hoatu naku ki a ia kia wehi ai ia, a i wehi ia ki ahau, a hopohopo ana ki toku ingoa.

6 I roto i tona mangai te ture o te pono, kihai hoki te he i kitea ki ona ngutu: i haere tahi ia i ahau i runga i te rongo mau, i te tika, he tini hoki i tahuri mai i a ia i te kino.

7 Ko te tikanga hoki ma nga ngutu o te tohunga he tiaki matauranga, a ma ratou e rapu te ture ki tona mangai: no te mea ko te karere ia a Ihowa o nga mano.

8 Ko koutou ia kua peka ke i te ara, kua mea i te ture hei tutukitanga waewae mo etahi, he tokomaha; he iho i a koutou te kawenata ki a Riwai, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

9 Na kua meinga na koutou e ahau kia whakahaweatia, kia iti, i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa, kua rite ki ta koutou kihai na i mau ki aku ara; a i nga mea o te ture he whakapai tangata ta koutou.

10 He teka ianei kotahi ano te papa o tatou katoa? he teka ianei kotahi ano te Atua nana tatou i hanga? he aha tatou i tinihanga ai, te tuakana ki te teina, i whakanoa ai i te kawenata ki o tatou matua?

11 Kua tinihanga a Hura, e mahia ana hoki te mea whakarihariha i roto i a Iharaira, i Hiruharama; kua noa hoki i a Hura te tapu o Ihowa, tana hoki i aroha ai, a marenatia ana mana te tamahine a te atua ke.

12 Ka hatepea atu e Ihowa ki te tangata nana tenei mahi te kaiwhakaoho raua ko te tangata whakao, i roto i nga teneti o Hakopa, ratou ano ko te kaitapae i te whakahere ki a Ihowa o nga mano.

13 Na kei te mahi ano koutou i tenei: kei te hipoki koutou i te aata a Ihowa ki te roimata, ki te tangi, ki te aue, nawai a ka kore ia e aro ki te whakahere i muri atu, kahore hoki e manako ki te tango mai i ta to koutou ringa.

14 Heoi e mea na koutou, Na te aha? No te mea he kaiwhakaatu a Ihowa mo tau ki te wahine o tou taitamarikitanga i tinihangatia ra e koe, ahakoa ko ia tou hoa, ko te wahine o tau kawenata.

15 He teka ianei kotahi tana i hanga ai, ahakoa i a ia ano te toenga iho o te wairua? A na te aha i kotahi ai? I rapu ia i te uri atua. Na tiakina to koutou wairua, kaua hoki tetahi e tinihanga ki te wahine o tona taitamarikitanga.

16 E kino ana hoki ahau ki te whakarere, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o Iharaira; ki te hipoki ano hoki i tona kakahu ki te tutu, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; no reira tiakina to koutou wairua, kia kaua koutou e tinihanga.

17 Kua hoha a Ihowa i a koutou kupu. A e mea na koutou, I whakahohatia ia e matou ki te aha? I a koutou e ki na, He pai ki te titiro a Ihowa nga tangata katoa e mahi ana i te kino, e manako ana hoki ia ki a ratou. Kei hea oti te Atua o te whakawa?

3  Tenei te unga atu nei e ahau taku karere, mana e whakapai te ara i mua i ahau, a kitea rawatia ake, kua tae te Ariki, e rapua nei e koutou, ki tona temepara; na ko te anahera o te kawenata, ko ta koutou e ngakau nui na, nana, tera ia ka tae atu, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

2 A ko wai e u i te ra e tae mai ai ia? ko wai hoki e tu, ina puta mai ia? e rite ana hoki ia ki te ahi a te kaitahi para, ki te mea horoi a te kaihoroi:

3 Ka noho ano ia, ka rite ki te kaitahi para, ki te kaiwhakapai hiriwa, a ka whakapaia e ia nga tama a Riwai, ka whakahemokia to ratou para, ano he koura, he hiriwa: kia tapaea ai e ratou he whakahere ki a Ihowa i runga i te tika.

4 Ko reira te whakahere a Hura raua ko Hiruharama rekaina ai e Ihowa, ka rite ki nga ra o mua, ki nga tau onamata.

5 Ka whakatata atu ano ahau ki a koutou ki te whakawa; ka hohoro ano ahau hei kaiwhakaatu i te he o nga kaimakutu, o te hunga puremu, o nga kaioati teka, o te hunga e tahae ana i nga utu o te kaimahi, i ta te pouaru, i ta te pani, e whakapeau ke an a i ta te manene, a kahore e wehi i ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

6 Ko ahau hoki, ko Ihowa, kahore ahau e puta ke; na reira koutou, e nga tama a Hakopa, i kore ai e pau.

7 No nga ra o o koutou matua i whakarerea ai e koutou aku tikanga, kihai ano i puritia e koutou. Hoki mai ki ahau, a ka hoki atu ahau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano. Heoi kei te mea na koutou, Kia pehea ta matou hoki atu?

8 E tahae ranei te tangata i ta te Atua? Heoi e tahae na koutou i taku. A e mea na koutou, He pehea ta matou tahae i tau? Ki nga whakatekau ra, me nga whakahere.

9 Kua kanga, kua kanga koutou: ko koutou hoki kei te tahae i taku, ara ko tenei iwi katoa.

10 Maua katoatia mai te whakatekau ki roto ki te toa, kia whai kai ai toku whare, waiho hoki tenei hei whakamatautau moku, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, me kahore e tuwhera i ahau nga matapihi o te rangi ki a koutou, a ka ringihia he manaaki ki a kouto u, a kia kore ra ano he takotoranga.

11 A ka riria e ahau te kaiwhakapareho, he mea mo koutou, a e kore e huna e ia nga hua o to koutou oneone; e kore ano e marere noa nga hua o ta koutou waina i te mara, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

12 A ki ta nga iwi katoa, he manaakitanga koutou: no te mea he whenua ahuareka koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

13 He kaha a koutou kupu ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa. Heoi e ki na koutou, He aha ta matou korero mou?

14 Kua ki na koutou, Kahore he hua o te mahi ki te Atua: he aha hoki te rawa o ta matou pupuri i ana mea, o ta matou haere taua i te aroaro o Ihowa o nga mano?

15 Na inaianei ki ta matou, ko te hunga whakakake nga mea koa; ae ra, ko nga kaimahi i te kino te hunga e hanga ake; ae ra, e whakamatautau ana ratou i te Atua, a kua mawhiti.

16 Na, ko te hunga i wehi i a Ihowa, kei te korerorero ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; a ka tahuri a Ihowa, ka whakarongo, na ka tuhituhia he pukapuka whakamahara ki tona aroaro mo te hunga i wehi ki a Ihowa, i whakaaro hoki ki tona ingoa.

17 Maku hoki ratou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, i te ra e mahia ai e ahau he taonga motuhake; ka manawapa ano ahau ki a ratou, ka pera me te tangata e manawapa ana ki tana tama e mahi ana ki a ia.

18 Ko reira ano koutou hoki ai, kite ai i te rereketanga o ta te tika, o ta te kino, o ta tera e mahi ana ki te Atua, o ta tera kahore e mahi ki a ia.

4  Ta te mea, nana, kei te haere mai te ra, e ngiha ai ano he oumu; na, ko te hunga whakakake katoa, me te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino hei kakau witi ratou: a ka tahuna e te ra meake nei puta, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, e kore ano he pakiaka, he manga e mahue ki a ratou.

2 Ki a koutou ia e wehi na i toku ingoa ka ara ake te ra o te tika, he whakaora mate hoki i runga i ona parirau; a ka puta mai koutou, ka tupekepeke ano he kuao kau no te turanga kau.

3 Ka takatakahia ano e koutou te hunga kino; ka rite hoki ratou ki nga pungarehu i raro i nga kapu o o koutou waewae i te ra e mahi ai ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

4 Kia mahara ki te ture a taku pononga, a Mohi, ki taku i whakahau ai ki a ia i Horepa, he mea mo Iharaira katoa, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga.

5 Nana, ka unga atu e ahau a Iraia poropiti ki a koutou i mua i te taenga mai o te ra nui o Ihowa, o te ra whakamataku.

6 A ka tahuri i a ia nga ngakau o nga matua ki nga tamariki, me nga ngakau o nga tamariki ki o ratou matua; kei haere atu ahau, kei patu i te whenua ki te kanga.

Malachi 1-4
New International Version

1 A prophecy:(A) The word(B) of the Lord to Israel through Malachi.[a]

Israel Doubts God’s Love

2 “I have loved(C) you,” says the Lord.

“But you ask,(D) ‘How have you loved us?’

“Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob,(E) 3 but Esau I have hated,(F) and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland(G) and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.(H)”

4 Edom(I) may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild(J) the ruins.”

But this is what the Lord Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish.(K) They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord.(L) 5 You will see it with your own eyes and say, ‘Great(M) is the Lord—even beyond the borders of Israel!’(N)

Breaking Covenant Through Blemished Sacrifices

6 “A son honors his father,(O) and a slave his master.(P) If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect(Q) due me?” says the Lord Almighty.(R)

“It is you priests who show contempt for my name.

“But you ask,(S) ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’

7 “By offering defiled food(T) on my altar.

“But you ask,(U) ‘How have we defiled you?’

“By saying that the Lord’s table(V) is contemptible. 8 When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals,(W) is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased(X) with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord Almighty.(Y)

9 “Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings(Z) from your hands, will he accept(AA) you?”—says the Lord Almighty.

10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors,(AB) so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased(AC) with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept(AD) no offering(AE) from your hands. 11 My name will be great(AF) among the nations,(AG) from where the sun rises to where it sets.(AH) In every place incense(AI) and pure offerings(AJ) will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.

12 “But you profane it by saying, ‘The Lord’s table(AK) is defiled,’ and, ‘Its food(AL) is contemptible.’ 13 And you say, ‘What a burden!’(AM) and you sniff at it contemptuously,(AN)” says the Lord Almighty.

“When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices,(AO) should I accept them from your hands?”(AP) says the Lord. 14 “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal(AQ) to the Lord. For I am a great king,(AR)” says the Lord Almighty,(AS) “and my name is to be feared(AT) among the nations.(AU)

Additional Warning to the Priests

2 “And now, you priests, this warning is for you.(AV) 2 If you do not listen,(AW) and if you do not resolve to honor(AX) my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send a curse(AY) on you, and I will curse your blessings.(AZ) Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me.

3 “Because of you I will rebuke your descendants[b]; I will smear on your faces the dung(BA) from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it.(BB) 4 And you will know that I have sent you this warning so that my covenant with Levi(BC) may continue,” says the Lord Almighty. 5 “My covenant was with him, a covenant(BD) of life and peace,(BE) and I gave them to him; this called for reverence(BF) and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. 6 True instruction(BG) was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked(BH) with me in peace(BI) and uprightness,(BJ) and turned many from sin.(BK)

7 “For the lips of a priest(BL) ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger(BM) of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth.(BN) 8 But you have turned from the way(BO) and by your teaching have caused many to stumble;(BP) you have violated the covenant(BQ) with Levi,”(BR) says the Lord Almighty. 9 “So I have caused you to be despised(BS) and humiliated(BT) before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality(BU) in matters of the law.”(BV)

Breaking Covenant Through Divorce

10 Do we not all have one Father[c]?(BW) Did not one God create us?(BX) Why do we profane the covenant(BY) of our ancestors by being unfaithful(BZ) to one another?

11 Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable(CA) thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves(CB) by marrying(CC) women who worship a foreign god.(CD) 12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove(CE) him from the tents of Jacob[d](CF)—even though he brings an offering(CG) to the Lord Almighty.

13 Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears.(CH) You weep and wail(CI) because he no longer looks with favor(CJ) on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.(CK) 14 You ask,(CL) “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness(CM) between you and the wife of your youth.(CN) You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.(CO)

15 Has not the one God made you?(CP) You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.[e](CQ) So be on your guard,(CR) and do not be unfaithful(CS) to the wife of your youth.

16 “The man who hates and divorces his wife,(CT)” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,”[f](CU) says the Lord Almighty.

So be on your guard,(CV) and do not be unfaithful.

Breaking Covenant Through Injustice

17 You have wearied(CW) the Lord with your words.

“How have we wearied him?” you ask.(CX)

By saying, “All who do evil are good in the eyes of the Lord, and he is pleased(CY) with them” or “Where is the God of justice?(CZ)”

3 “I will send my messenger,(DA) who will prepare the way before me.(DB) Then suddenly the Lord(DC) you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant,(DD) whom you desire,(DE) will come,” says the Lord Almighty.

2 But who can endure(DF) the day of his coming?(DG) Who can stand(DH) when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire(DI) or a launderer’s soap.(DJ) 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver;(DK) he will purify(DL) the Levites and refine them like gold and silver.(DM) Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness,(DN) 4 and the offerings(DO) of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.(DP)

5 “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers,(DQ) adulterers(DR) and perjurers,(DS) against those who defraud laborers of their wages,(DT) who oppress the widows(DU) and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners(DV) among you of justice, but do not fear(DW) me,” says the Lord Almighty.

Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes

6 “I the Lord do not change.(DX) So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.(DY) 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away(DZ) from my decrees and have not kept them. Return(EA) to me, and I will return to you,”(EB) says the Lord Almighty.

“But you ask,(EC) ‘How are we to return?’

8 “Will a mere mortal rob(ED) God? Yet you rob me.

“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’

“In tithes(EE) and offerings. 9 You are under a curse(EF)—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe(EG) into the storehouse,(EH) that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates(EI) of heaven and pour out(EJ) so much blessing(EK) that there will not be room enough to store it.(EL) 11 I will prevent pests from devouring(EM) your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,(EN)” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed,(EO) for yours will be a delightful land,”(EP) says the Lord Almighty.(EQ)

Israel Speaks Arrogantly Against God

13 “You have spoken arrogantly(ER) against me,” says the Lord.

“Yet you ask,(ES) ‘What have we said against you?’

14 “You have said, ‘It is futile(ET) to serve(EU) God. What do we gain by carrying out his requirements(EV) and going about like mourners(EW) before the Lord Almighty? 15 But now we call the arrogant(EX) blessed. Certainly evildoers(EY) prosper,(EZ) and even when they put God to the test, they get away with it.’”

The Faithful Remnant

16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard.(FA) A scroll(FB) of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared(FC) the Lord and honored his name.

17 “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my(FD) treasured possession.(FE) I will spare(FF) them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son(FG) who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous(FH) and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.(FI)

Judgment and Covenant Renewal

4 [g]“Surely the day is coming;(FJ) it will burn like a furnace.(FK) All the arrogant(FL) and every evildoer will be stubble,(FM) and the day that is coming will set them on fire,(FN)” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch(FO) will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name,(FP) the sun of righteousness(FQ) will rise with healing(FR) in its rays. And you will go out and frolic(FS) like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample(FT) on the wicked; they will be ashes(FU) under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.

4 “Remember the law(FV) of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb(FW) for all Israel.(FX)

5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah(FY) to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.(FZ) 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children,(GA) and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike(GB) the land with total destruction.”(GC)

Maori Bible

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 22
New International Version

Eden Restored

22 Then the angel showed me the river(A) of the water of life,(B) as clear as crystal,(C) flowing(D) 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,(E) bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.(F) 3 No longer will there be any curse.(G) The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.(H) 4 They will see his face,(I) and his name will be on their foreheads.(J) 5 There will be no more night.(K) They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.(L) And they will reign for ever and ever.(M)

John and the Angel

6 The angel said to me,(N) “These words are trustworthy and true.(O) The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,(P) sent his angel(Q) to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

7 “Look, I am coming soon!(R) Blessed(S) is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”(T)

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.(U) And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet(V) 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.(W) Worship God!”(X)

10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up(Y) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,(Z) because the time is near.(AA) 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.”(AB)

Epilogue: Invitation and Warning

12 “Look, I am coming soon!(AC) My reward is with me,(AD) and I will give to each person according to what they have done.(AE) 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,(AF) the First and the Last,(AG) the Beginning and the End.(AH)

14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes,(AI) that they may have the right to the tree of life(AJ) and may go through the gates(AK) into the city.(AL) 15 Outside(AM) are the dogs,(AN) those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 “I, Jesus,(AO) have sent my angel(AP) to give you[a] this testimony for the churches.(AQ) I am the Root(AR) and the Offspring of David,(AS) and the bright Morning Star.”(AT)

17 The Spirit(AU) and the bride(AV) 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.(AW)

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:(AX) If anyone adds anything to them,(AY) God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.(AZ) 19 And if anyone takes words away(BA) from this scroll of prophecy,(BB) God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life(BC) and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

20 He who testifies to these things(BD) says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”(BE)

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.(BF)

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.(BG) Amen.
