Fakahā 10
1Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.
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:
2He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,
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,
3and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded.
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.
4And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
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.”
5And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
5Pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻaia ne u mamata naʻe tuʻu ki he tahi mo e fonua, naʻa ne hiki hono nima ki he langi,
6and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay,
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:
7but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.
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.
8Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
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.”
9So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
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.”
10And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
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.
11And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
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.”
