< Olphong 12 >
1 Te phoeiah miknoek a len vaan ah tueng. Huta loh khomik te a bai tih a kho te hla a tloeng thil. A lu ah aisi hlainit aka om rhuisam te a khuem.
AND a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon beneath her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 Bungvawn la om tih cacun bungtloh neh aka tlo bangla pang.
And having in her womb, she cried, and was in travail, and was pained to give birth.
3 Vaan ah miknoek a tloe tueng coeng. Tuihnam a len a ling la ke. A lu parhih, ki parha neh a lu ah lukhuem parhih a khueh.
And I saw another sign in heaven; and behold a great dragon of fire, which had seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
4 A mai loh vaan kah aisi hlop thum te a hlan tih lai la a hlak. Te vaengah tuihnam tah thang tom nu hmaiah pai. A thang vaengah a ca dolh pah ham te.
And his tail drew the third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman when she was about to give birth, that when she had given birth he might devour her son.
5 Te vaengah ca tongpa a cun. Anih tah thi conghol neh namtom boeih dawndah ham cai coeng. A ca te Pathen taeng neh a ngolkhoel taengla a poelyoe.
And she gave birth to a male child, who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her son was rapt unto Aloha and unto his throne.
6 Te dongah huta tah khosoek la rhaelrham. Te ah te Pathen lamloh a rhoekbah pah hmuen a khueh. Te ah ni anih te khohnin thawngkhat yahnih sawmrhuk a khut eh.
And the woman fled into the desert, where she had a place prepared of Aloha, that there they might nourish her, DAYS A THOUSAND AND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY.
7 Te vaengah vaan ah caem thoo tih Maikhael neh a puencawn rhoek loh tuihnam te a tloek. Tuihnam neh a puencawn rhoek long khaw a tloek uh van dae noeng uh pawh.
And there was war in heaven. And Mikoel and his angels to fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels warred.
8 Vaan ah a hmuen hmu voel pawh.
And they could not prevail, and their place was found no more in heaven.
9 Te dongah tuihnam puei, khosuen kah rhul tah a voeih coeng. Te tah rhaithae neh Satan la a khue. Te long te lunglai boeih a rhaithi dongah diklai la a voeih. Te vaengah a puencawn rhoek tah amah neh a voeih.
And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, who is called the Deceiver, and the Adversary, which seduceth the whole habitable world. And he was cast upon the earth, and his angels with him were cast.
10 Te vaengah vaan ah ol ue ka yaak tih, “Khangnah, thaomnah, mamih kah Pathen ram neh Khrih kah saithainah tah ha pai coeng. Mamih manuca rhoek kah paelnaehkung tah a voeih coeng. Anih loh amih te mamih kah Pathen hmaiah khoyin khothaih a paelnaeh.
And I heard a great voice in heaven saying, Now is there salvation and strength, And the kingdom of our God, And the power of his Meshiha; Because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, Who accused them before Aloha day and night.
11 Tedae amih manuca rhoek tah tuca thii, amamih kah laipainah olka, rhangneh Satan te a noeng uh. Te dongah a duek duela hinglu te lungnah pawh.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, And by the word of his testimony. But they loved not their lives unto death.
12 Te dongah vaan neh a khuiah aka rhaeh rhoek loh uum tangloeng saeh. Anunae diklai neh tuitunli aih te. A thae loh a tue a yool a khueh te a ming dongah nangmih taengla thinsanah muep han khuen tih ha suntla coeng,” a ti.
Wherefore let the heavens be glad, And those who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea! Because the deceiver hath gone down to you, Having great indignation, Knowing that little time is to him.
13 Tuihnam loh diklai la a tlak te a ming vaengah tongpa aka cun huta te a hnaemtaek.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast down upon the earth, he pursued the woman which gave birth to the son.
14 Tedae khosoek kah amah hmuen la ding sak ham huta te atha phae a len panit a paek coeng. Rhul hmai lamloh a nong phoeiah te ah te a kum bal kum bal kum langboeng khaw a khut.
And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she was to be nourished A TIME, AND TIMES, AND THE DIVIDING OF A TIME, from the face of the serpent.
15 Te vaengah rhul loh a ka lamkah tui te huta hnukah tuiva bangla a phuh tih, anih te yo sak ham a saii.
And the serpent cast forth from his mouth after the woman waters like a river, as that she might be carried off by the river which he would make.
16 Tedae diklai loh huta te a bom. Te dongah diklai loh a ka a ang tih tuihnam loh a ka lamkah a phuh tuiva te a dolh pah.
And the earth succoured the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed the river which the dragon had cast forth from his mouth.
17 Tuihnam te khaw huta soah kosi a hong tih a tiingan a hoei rhoek, Pathen kah olpaek aka khoem tih Jesuh kah olphong aka khueh rhoek te caem la saii ham cet.
And the dragon raged against the woman, and went to make war with those of the rest of her seed which kept the commandments of Aloha, and had the testimony of Jeshu.
