Malam Mdannak 9
1 Acunüng khankhawngsä amhmanak naw kpun a tum. Aisi mat khankhaw üngka naw mcea kya lawki ka hmuh. Ani üng adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknu tawh ami pet. (Abyssos g12)
Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a Star that had fallen upon the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
2 Aisi naw adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknu cun mhmawng se adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknu üngka naw meitumnu üngka naw khu lawki meikhua mäih cun khui kthuknu üngka naw lut lawki. Acuna phäha khawnghngi la khawkhi nghmüp lawki xawi. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Meikhu üngka naw mkhaü he khawmdek khana kyum lawki he. Jawngk’ai hea johit taka mäih cun acuna mkhaü he üng pi ami jah pet.
Out of the smoke locusts descended upon the earth, and they received the same power as that possessed by scorpions.
4 Khawmdek khana msai he, khuhlip he la thing he süm süm am jah kpyeh u lü, ami mceyü üng Pamhnama msingnak am taki he däng ami jah mkhuimkha vaia ngthu ami jah pet.
They were told not to harm the grass, or any plant, or any tree, but only those who have not ‘the seal of God upon their foreheads.’
5 Nghngicim khyang he am jah hnim u lü khya mhma ami jah mkhuimkha vaia ngthu ami jah pet. Acuna mkhaü he naw ami jah mkhuimkhanak vai cun jawngk’ai naw khyang cui se a nata mäiha naki.
Yet they were not allowed to kill them, but it was ordered that those men should be tortured for five months. Their torture was like the torture caused by a scorpion when it stings a man.
6 Acuna khya mhma üng khyang he naw thihnak sui hü khai he cunsepi am hmu u. Ami thih vai ngaih u sepi thihnak naw jah cen ta khai.
In those days men ‘will seek Death and will not find it’; They will long to die, but Death flees from them.
7 Mkhaüe cun ye tuknak vaia jah ngtünaka ngse hea mäih lawki he. Ami lü üng xüi lukhuma mäih lawki jah ngbüngki he. Ami müihmai he pi nghngicima müihmai hea mäih lawki.
In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there were what appeared to be crowns that shone like gold, their faces resembled human faces,
8 Ami lusam nghnumi hea lusama mäih law lü, ami hae mukei hea ha mäih lawki.
and they had hair like the hair of a woman, their teeth were like lions’ teeth,
9 Mthi sawiphawa mäiha sawiphaw he ami mkyanga khana jah thüih awiki he. Ami ngphya ami mkhapa ng’yün cun ye tu khaia lawki ngse nghle khawjaha ami ng’yüna mäih lawki he.
and they had what seemed to be iron breastplates, while the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots drawn by many horses, galloping into battle.
10 Jawngk’aia ngmeia mäiha ami ngmei cun nghling mahki. Acuna ami ngmei am nghngicim khyang khya mhma ami mkhuimkha vaia johit taki he.
They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and in their tails lies their power to harm men for five months.
11 Adütnak am awmkia khui kthuknua khankhawngsä cun ami khana jah ukia sangpuxanga taki he. Acuna ngming cun Hebru ngthu üng, “Abaddon” na lü, Krik ngthu üng, “Apolyon” naki. Ti hlünak cun “Kpyükpyehki” tia kyaki. (Abyssos g12)
They have as their king the Angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is ‘Abaddon,’ while, in Greek, his name is ‘Apollyon’ (the Destroyer). (Abyssos g12)
12 Kyühkse akcük cun bäih se; acun käna kyühkse nghngih pha law be tü khai.
The first Woe has passed; and still there are two Woes to follow!
13 Acunüng khankhawngsä akhyuknak naw kpun a tum. Pamhnama ma xüi kphyawnkunga kit phyü üngka naw kthai ng’yüng law se ka ngjak.
Then the sixth angel blew; and I heard a voice proceeding from the corners of the golden altar that stood before God.
14 Acuna kthai naw khankhawngsä akhyuknaka veia, “Epharetis mliktui kama khankhawngsä kphyü jah kphune cen jah khyah bea” a ti.
It spoke to the sixth angel — the angel with the trumpet — and said ‘Let loose the four angels that are in chains at the great river Euphrates.’
15 Ahina kcün, ahina mhmüp, ahina khya la ahina khawkum üng nghngicim kthum üngka mat jah hnim khaia jah mcawn pänga kyase khankhawngsä kphyü he cun jah khyah bea kyaki.
Then the four angels, that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
16 Ngsea khana ngcumkia yekap he ami däm lam cun 200,000,000 lawki he tia ami na mtheh.
The number of the hosts of horsemen was ten thousand times ten thousand, twice told; I heard their number.
17 Mdanak ka hmuhnak üng ngse he la a khana ngcumki he ka jah hmuh naw: Kata kba ng’aiki, meia kba senki, saphir lunga kba ngkyüngkia sawiphawe jah taki he. Ngsea lu he cun mukeia lua mäih lawki he. Ami mka üngka naw mei, meikhu la kat lut lawki.
And this is what the horses and their riders appeared to be like in my vision: — They had breastplates of fire, blood-red and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, while out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and sulphur.
18 Ngse hea mka üngka naw lut lawkia mei, meikhu la kat he naw nghngicim khyang hmün kthum üngka hmün mat cun acuna mnehkse naw a jah hnim.
Through these three Curses a third of mankind perished — because of the fire, and the smoke, and the sulphur that issued from their mouths;
19 Ngse hea johit cun ami mka la ami ngmei he üng awmkia kyaki. Ami ngmei he cun kphyu lu maha mäih lawki he. Acun am nghngicim khyang jah mkhuimkha naki he.
for the power of the horses lies in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, with heads, and it is with them that they do harm.
20 Acuna khuikhanak üng am thi u lü kpawihkia nghngicim khyang he cun naw pi amimäta kut am pyan cun am nghlata u. Am hmu thei lü, am cetcawn thei lü, am ngja theikia xüi juktuh, ngui juktuh, mthi juktuh, lung juktuh la thing juktuh he jah sawkhahnak üngka naw ä ngjut u lü awmki he. Khawyai sawkkhahnak pi am nghlata u.
But those who were left of mankind, who had not perished through these Curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of ‘demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk’;
21 Khyang ami hnimnak, suikyam ami binak, ami hüipawmnak la ami m'yuknak he üngka naw pi am ngjut u lü awmki he.
and they did not repent of their murders, or their sorceries, or their licentiousness, or their thefts.
