1Pea hili eni, ne u mamata, pea vakai, kuo fakaava ʻae matapā ʻi he langi: pea ko e ʻuluaki leʻo ʻaia ne u ongoʻi naʻe hangē ko e meʻa lea ʻoku lea kiate au; pea ne pehē mai, “Haʻu ki ʻolunga ni, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu ke hoko ʻamui.”
1After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”
2Pea fakafokifā pe kuo u ʻi he Laumālie: pea vakai, ne tuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi he langi, pea nofo ʻae tokotaha ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
2At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.
3Pea ko ia naʻe nofo ai naʻe matamata lelei ʻo hangē ko e maka ko e sasipa mo e satino; pea naʻe takatakai ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻe he ʻumata, naʻe hā mai ʻo hangē ko e ʻemalata.
3The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.
4Pea naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe nofoʻa ʻe uofulu ma fā: pea ne u mamata ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻa ʻae mātuʻa ʻe toko uofulu ma toko fā, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu hinehina; pea naʻe ai ʻi honau ʻulu ʻae ngaahi pale koula.
4Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.
5Pea naʻe hā mai mei he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae ʻuhila mo e mana mo e ngaahi leʻo: pea naʻe ulo ʻae maama afi ʻe fitu ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻaia ko e Laumālie ʻe Fitu ʻoe ʻOtua.
5From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
6Pea naʻe ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae tahi sioʻata ʻo hangē ko e kalisitala: pea naʻe ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻae faʻahinga meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, kuo fonu ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mata ʻi ʻao pea mo tuʻa.
6And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.
7Pea ko e ʻuluaki meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko e laione, ko hono ua ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko e pulu, ko hono tolu ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe mata tatau mo e tangata, pea ko hono fā ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko ha ʻikale ʻoku puna.
7The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
8Pea ko e meʻa moʻui ʻe fā naʻa nau taki ono ʻae kapakau; pea naʻa nau pito ʻi loto ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mata: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō, kae pehē pe, “Māʻoniʻoni, māʻoniʻoni, māʻoniʻoni, ʻE ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi, ʻAia naʻe ʻi ai, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ni, pea ʻe ʻi ai.”
8And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
9Pea ʻi he ʻatu ʻe he ngaahi meʻa moʻui ko ia ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kiate ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku moʻui lauikuonga pea taʻengata,
9And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever,
10Naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻae mātuʻa e toko uofulu ma toko fā ʻi he ʻao ʻo ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻonau hū kiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata, pea naʻa nau lī honau ngaahi pale ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, mo nau pehē,
10the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11“ʻOku taau mo koe, ʻE ʻEiki, Ke ke maʻu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei mo e māfimafi: He kuo ke fakatupu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, Pea naʻe ngaohi ia pea ʻoku kei ai ni, ʻi hoʻo finangalo pe koe ki ai.”
11“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and came to be.”
