1 Te phoeiah capu conghol phek te kai m'paek tih, “Thoo lamtah Pathen kah bawkim neh hmueihtuk neh a khuiah aka bawk rhoek te nueh lah.
Then I was given a measure like a rod, and a voice said to me — ‘Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the worshiper there.
2 Tedae bawkim kah poengben imtol te namtog a paek coeng dongah a tloe la rhoe lamtah nueh boeh. Khopuei cim te hla sawmli neh hla nit a tilnoi uh ni.
But omit the court outside the Temple, and do not measure that, for it has been given up to the nations; and the holy City will be under their heel for forty-two months.
3 Ka laipai rhoi te saithainah ka paek ni. Te vaengah tlamhni bai doela khohnin thawngkhat yahnih sawmrhuk khuiah a phong rhoi ni.
Then I will give permission to my Two Witnesses, and for those twelve hundred and sixty days they will continue teaching, clothed in sackcloth.’
4 Amih rhoi tah diklai boei hmaiah olive thing rhoi neh hmaitung panit aka pai la om rhoi.
These men are represented by ‘the two olive trees and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of the earth.’
5 Amih rhoi te khat khat loh a veet a ngaih atah amih rhoi ka lamkah hmai thoeng tih a rhal rhoek te a hlawp. Te phoeiah khat khat loh amih rhoi veet a ngaih atah ngawn ham a kuek tangloeng.
When any one wishes to harm them, ‘fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies’; and whoever wishes to harm them will, in this way, inevitably perish.
6 A tonghma tue vaengah vaan ke khaih tih rhotui a tlan pawt ham saithainah a khueh rhoi. Tui te thii la poeh sak ham neh a ngaih bangla lucik cungkuem neh diklai tam ham khaw saithainah a khueh.
These men have the power to close the heavens, that ‘no rain may fall’ during the time that they are teaching; and they have power ‘to turn the streams into blood, and to smite the land with any Curse,’ whenever they will.
7 A olphongnah a khah rhoi vaengah satlung te tangrhom dung lamkah ha luei vetih amih rhoi te caem la a khueh ni. Te vaengah amih te a noeng vetih a ngawn ni. (Abyssos g12)
As soon as they have completed their testimony, ‘the wild Beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer’ and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
8 Amih rhoi kah rhok tah kho puei toltung ah a hoeng ni. Te tah caivael ol ah Sodom neh Egypt la a khue. Te ah te mamih kah Boeipa khaw a tai uh.
Their dead bodies will lie in the streets of the great City, which is mystically spoken of as ‘Sodom’ and ‘Egypt,’ where their Master was crucified.
9 Te vaengah pilnam, koca rhoek, ol com ol cae neh namtom loh a rhok te hnin thum neh tintan duela a sawt uh ni. Te phoeiah rhok te phuel ah khueh ham a hlahpham uh mahpawh.
Men of all peoples, and tribes, and languages, and nations look at their dead bodies for three days and a half, and do not allow them to be laid in a grave.
10 Te vaengah diklai hmankah khosa rhoek loh amih rhoi te a hnael uh vetih a uum uh ni. Kutdoe khaw khat neh khat pat uh thae ni. Te tonghma rhoi loh diklai hmankah khosa rhoek te a phaep rhoi dongah,” a ti.
Those who live on the earth rejoice over them and are merry, and they will send presents to one another, because these two Prophets brought torments upon those who live on the earth.
11 Tedae hnin thum neh tintan phoeiah Pathen taengkah hingnah Mueihla te amih rhoi khuiah kun. Te vaengah amah kho dongah pai rhoi. Amih rhoi aka hmu rhoek te rhihnah loh mat a tlak thil.
After three days and a half ‘the life-giving breath of God entered these men, and they stood up upon their feet,’ and a great terror took possession of those who were watching them.
12 Te phoeiah vaan lamkah ol ue neh amih rhoi te, “Hela ha luei rhoi,'' a ti te a yaak rhoi. Te dongah khomai neh vaan la luei rhoi tih a rhal rhoek loh amih rhoi te a hmuh.
The two men heard a loud voice from Heaven which said to them — ‘Come up here,’ and they went up to Heaven in the cloud, while their enemies watched them.
13 Tekah a tue vaengah lingluei puei hinghuen tih khopuei kah hloprha te tim. Lingluei ah hlangmi thawng rhih duek. A tloe rhoek tah lakueng ngaiha neh vaan kah Pathen te thangpomnah a khueh uh.
At that very time a great earthquake occurred. A tenth part of the city fell, and seven thousand people perished in the earthquake. Those who escaped were much terrified, and praised the God of Heaven.
14 Kosi pabae tah khum coeng. Kosi a pathum tah koe ha pawk he.
The second Woe has passed; and there is a third Woe soon to follow!
15 Puencawn a parhih loh a ueng hatah vaan ah ol bungbung cai tih, “Diklai ram te mamih Boeipa neh amah Khrih kah ram la om coeng. Te dongah kumhal kah kumhal duela a poeng pawn ni,” a ti uh. (aiōn g165)
Then the seventh angel blew; and loud voices were heard in Heaven saying — ‘The Kingdom of the World has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.’ (aiōn g165)
16 Pathen hmaikah a ngolkhoel soah aka ngol patong rhoek pakul pali long khaw a maelhmai buluk tih Pathen te a bawk uh.
At this the twenty-four Councillors, who were seated on their thrones before God, prostrated themselves on their faces and worshiped Him,
17 “Tloengkhoelh Pathen Boeipa nang te kang uem uh. Aka om tih aka om coeng aw. Thaomnah tanglue ka khueh dongah ni na manghai pai.
saying — ‘We thank thee, O Lord, our God, the Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast assumed thy great power and reigned.
18 Te vaengah namtom loh kosi a hong uh. Tedae na kosi neh aka duek rhoek kah laitloek tue tah ha pawk coeng. Na sal rhoek, tonghma rhoek, hlangcim rhoek neh na ming aka rhih rhoek tah, a yit a len khaw thapang paek ham om,” a ti uh.
The nations were enraged, and thy Wrath fell upon them; the time came for the dead to be judged, and for thee to give the reward to thy servants the Prophets, and to the People of Christ, and to those who reverence thy Name — the high and the low alike — and to destroy those who are destroying the earth.’
19 Te phoeiah vaan kah Pathen bawkim a ong. Te vaengah Bawkim khuiah paipi thingkawng te ka hmuh. Te vaengah khophaa neh, ol neh, rhaek khaw, lingluei khaw, rhaelnu khaw ha thoeng.
Then the Temple of God in Heaven was opened, and the Ark containing his Covenant was seen in his Temple; and there followed ‘flashes of lightning, cries, peals of thunder,’ an earthquake, and ‘a great storm of hail.’
