Hoikeana 5
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1I KE aku la au maloko o ka lima akau o ka mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii, he buke ua palapalaia maloko, a mawaho ua hoopaaia i na wepa ehiku.
1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals.
2Ike aku la au i ka anela ikaika, e hea ae ana me ka leo nui, Owai ka mea pono ke wehe i ka buke, a e akaa i kona mau wepa?
2And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3Aole ma ka lani, aole ma ka honua, aole hoi malalo iho o ka honua, ka mea i hiki ia ia ke wehe i ua buke nei, aole hoi ke nana aku ia ia.
3And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it.
4Uwe nui iho la au, no ka loaa ole o ka mea pono e wehe a e heluhelu i ka buke, a e nana hoi maluna iho.
4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.
5I mai la kekahi o na lunakahiko ia'u, mai uwe oe; aia hoi ua lanakila mai la ka Liona o ka ohana a Iuda, ka Mamo a Davida, e wehe i ua buke nei, a e akaa i kona mau wepa ehiku.
5And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not; behold the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6A ike aku la au ma ka nohoalii, a mawaena o na mea ola eha, a me na lunakahiko, he Keikihipa e ku ana me he mea i pepehiia la, ehiku ona pepeiaohao, ehiku hoi ona maka; oia na Uhane ehiku o ke Akua, i hoounaia'ku i ka honua a pau.
6And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
7Hele mai la ia, lawe iho la i ka buke, mai ka lima akau aku o ka Mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii;
7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
8A i kona lawe ana i ka buke, moe iho la na mea ola eha a me na lunakahiko he iwakalua kumamaha imua o ke Keikihipa; he mau lira ko lakou a pau, a me na hue gula, ua piha i na mea ala, oia hoi na pule a ka poe haipule.
8And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints:
9Memele mai la lakou i ke mele hou, e olelo ana, Pono no oe ke lawe i ka buke, a e akaa i kona mau wepa: no ka mea, ua pepehiia oe, a ua kuai mai oe ia makou no ke Akua me kou koko, mai loko mai o na ohana a pau, a me na olelo, a me na aina, a me na lahuikanaka a pau;
9And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
10A ua hoolilo oe ia makou i poe alii, a i poe kahuna no ko makou Akua; a ia makou no ke aupuni ma ka honua.
10And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.
11Nana aku la au, a lohe iho la i ka leo o na anela, he nui loa, a me na mea ola, a me na lunakahiko e anaina ana ma ka nohoalii: a o ka helu ana ia lakou he haneri miliona a me na tausani tansani;
11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands,
12E olelo ana me ka leo nui, E pono no ke Keikihipa i pepehiia, ke loaa ia ia ka mana, a me ka waiwai, a me ke akamai, a me ka ikaika, a me ka nani a me ka mahalo, a me ka hoomaikaiia.
12Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction.
13A lohe aku la au i na mea a pau ma ka lani, a ma ka honua, a malalo iho o ka honua, a me na mea a pau ma ka moana, a maloko o ia mau mea, e olelo ana, No ka Mea e noho ana ma ka nohoalii, no ke Keikihipa hoi, ka hoomaikaiia a me ka nani, a me ka hanohano, a me ka ikaika, ia ao aku, ia ao aku.
13And every creature, which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them: I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever.
14I mai la na mea ola eha, Amene. Moe iho la na lunakahiko he iwakaluakumamaha, hoomana aku la i ka Mea e ola mau ana ia ao aku, ia ao aku.
14And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever.
