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 this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or 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,
2I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm 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, “Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on 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.
4I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out 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 Judah twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,

8of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
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 these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches 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.”
10They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on 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,
11All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped 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! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever 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?”
13One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?”
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.
14I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering. They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.
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. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16ʻE ʻikai te nau toe fiekaia, pe toe fieinua; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau laʻāina, pe puhengia.
16They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat 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 who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
