1Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻaku mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻi he tuliki ʻe fā ʻo māmani, ʻonau puke ʻae matangi ʻe fā ʻo māmani, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa havili ʻae matangi ki he fonua, pe ki he tahi, pe ki ha ʻakau.
1After these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor on any tree.
2Pea ne u mamata ki ha ʻāngelo ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu hake mei he potu hahake, kuo ʻiate ia ʻae meʻa fakamaʻu ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui: pea naʻe kalanga ia ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, naʻe tuku ki ai ke tautea ʻae fonua mo e tahi,
2And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the sign of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3ʻO pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tautea ʻae fonua, pe ko e tahi, pe ko e ngaahi ʻakau, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻemau fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa homau ʻOtua ʻi honau foʻi laʻē.”
3Saying: Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4Pea ne u fanongo ki hono lau ʻokinautolu naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi: naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae tokotaha kilu mo e toko fā mano mo e toko fā afe.
4And I heard the number of them that were signed, an hundred forty-four thousand were signed, of every tribe of the children of Israel.
5Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe. Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Kata ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe.
5Of the tribe of Juda, were twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Ruben, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand signed:
6Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAsea ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe. Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe. Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe.
6Of the tribe of Aser, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Nephthali, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Manasses, twelve thousand signed:

8Of the tribe of Zabulon, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand signed.
9Pea hili eni, naʻaku mamata, pea vakai, ko e fuʻu kakai ʻaia kuo ʻikai faʻa lau ʻe ha taha, mei he puleʻanga, mo e faʻahinga, mo e kakai, mo e lea kotoa pē, naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Lami, kuo nau kofuʻaki ʻae ngaahi kofu hinehina tōtōlofa, mo e vaʻa ponga ʻi honau nima;
9After this I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands:
10Pea naʻa nau kalanga ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mei hotau ʻOtua ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea mo e Lami, ʻae fakamoʻui.”
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
11Pea naʻe tutuʻu takatakai ʻae kau ʻāngelo kotoa pē ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea ʻi he kau mātuʻa mo e meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, pea naʻa nau fakafoʻohifo honau mata ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻo hū ki he ʻOtua,
11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the ancients, and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and adored God,
12ʻonau pehē, “ʻEmeni: Ke ʻi hotau ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata ʻae fakafetaʻi, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e poto, Mo e fakamālō, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa, mo e māfimafi, mo e mālohi. ʻEmeni.”
12Saying: Amen. Benediction, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, honour, and power, and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13Pea naʻe lea ʻae toko taha ʻoe kau mātuʻa, ʻo pehē mai kiate au, “Ko hai ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku teunga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kofu hinehina tōtōlofa? Pea ʻoku nau haʻu mei fē?”
13And one of the ancients answered, and said to me: These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they?
14Pea ne u pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, heiʻilo koe.” Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko kinautolu eni naʻe haʻu mei he mamahi lahi, pea kuo nau fō ke hinehina honau kofu tōtōlofa ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻoe Lami.
14And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15Ko ia ai ʻoku nau ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo tauhi ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi hono fale tapu: pea ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻe nofo ia ʻiate kinautolu.
15Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he, that sitteth on the throne, shall dwell over them.
16ʻE ʻikai te nau toe fiekaia, pe toe fieinua; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau laʻāina, pe puhengia.
16They shall no more hunger nor thirst, neither shall the sun fall on them, nor any heat.
17He ko e Lami ʻoku ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki te ne matavai moʻui; pea ʻe holoholo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata.”
17For the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall rule them, and shall lead them to the fountains of the waters of life, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
