1Pea ne u mamata ki ha ʻāngelo mālohi ʻe tokotaha ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae ʻao: pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae ūmata, pea naʻe tatau hono mata mo e laʻā, pea ko hono vaʻe naʻe tatau mo e pou afi:
1I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
2Pea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae tohi siʻi kuo folahi: pea naʻa ne ʻai hono vaʻe toʻomataʻu ki he tahi, pea mo e toʻohema ki he fonua,
2He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
3Pea kalanga leʻo lahi ia, ʻo hangē ko e ngungulu ʻoe laione: pea hili ʻene tangi, naʻe fakaongo honau leʻo ʻe he mana ʻe fitu.
3He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
4Pea kuo fakaongo ʻe he mana ʻe fitu honau leʻo, pea u te u ke tohi: pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo mei he langi ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, “Fakamaʻu ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fakaongo mai ʻe he mana ʻe fitu, pea ʻoua naʻa tohi ia.”
4When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.”
5Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻaia ne u mamata naʻe tuʻu ki he tahi mo e fonua, naʻa ne hiki hono nima ki he langi,
5The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky
6Pea ne fuakava ʻiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae langi, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, mo e fonua, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, mo e tahi, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻe ʻikai kei taʻofia:
6and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,
7Ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe leʻo ʻo hono fitu ʻoe ʻāngelo, ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene fakaongo, ʻe fakakakato ʻae ngāue fufū ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fakahā ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.
7but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants the prophets.
8Pea ko e leʻo ʻaia ne u fanongo mei he langi ne toe lea mai ia kiate au, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu, mo ke toʻo ʻae tohi siʻi kuo folahi ʻi he nima ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he tahi mo e fonua.”
8The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.”
9Pea ne u ʻalu ki he ʻāngelo, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Tuku mai kiate au ʻae tohi siʻi.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate au, “ʻAve, pea ke kai ke ʻosi ia; pea ʻe fakakonaʻi ʻe ia ʻa ho kete, ka ʻe melie ia ʻi ho ngutu ʻo hangē ha meʻa huʻamelie.”
9I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
10Pea ne u toʻo ʻae tohi siʻi mei he nima ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea ne u kai ia ʻo ʻosi; pea naʻe melie ia ʻi hoku ngutu ʻo hangē ha meʻa huʻamelie: pea kuo u kai leva ia, pea kona ʻa hoku kete.
10I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
11Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate au, “Te ke toe kikite ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi kakai lahi, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e kakai lea kehekehe, mo e ngaahi tuʻi.”
11They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
