Olphong 13
1 Tedae tuitunli kah laivin dongah sut pai. Te vaengah satlung pakhat tuitunli lamkah halo te ka hmuh. A ki parha neh a lu parhih a khueh tih a kii dongah lukhuem parha om. A lu ah soehsalnah ming a phueih.
Then the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten crowns, and on each of its heads was a blasphemous name.
2 Te vaengah satlung ka hmuh te tah kaihlaeng phek la om tih a kho tah vom kho bangla om. A ka tah sathueng ka bangla om. Tuihnam loh a thaomnah neh a ngolkhoel neh aka len koek saithainah te a taengah a paek.
This beast I saw was like a leopard. Its feet were like a bear's feet, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave his power to it, and his throne, and his great authority to rule.
3 Te vaengah a lu pakhat te dueknah duela a ngawn bangla om. Tedae a dueknah lucik tah a hoeih pah. Te dongah diklai tah a pum la a ngaihmang uh tih satlung hnukah bang uh.
One of the beast's heads appeared to have been killed, but its fatal wound was healed. The whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.
4 Satlung te saithainah a paek coeng dongah tuihnam te a bawk uh. Satlung te a bawk uh vaengah, “Satlung phek la unim aka om? Unim a taengah aka vathoh thai,” a ti uh.
They also worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast. They worshiped the beast, too, and kept saying, “Who is like the beast?” and “Who can fight against it?”
5 A ka te cal khungdaeng ham neh soehsalnah a paek. Saithainah te hla sawmli panit khuiah tueng sak ham a paek.
The beast was given a mouth that could speak proud words and blasphemies. It was permitted to exercise authority for forty-two months.
6 Te dongah Pathen te soehsalnah neh a ka a ang thil. A ming neh a dap te khaw, vaan ah aka rhaeh rhoek khaw a soehsal pah.
So the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God—blaspheming his name, the place where he lives, and those who live in heaven.
7 Hlangcim rhoek taengah caem thoh ham neh amih te noeng ham a paek. Koca boeih neh pilnam soah, ol neh namtom taengah saithainah a paek.
The beast was permitted to wage war with the saints and to conquer them. Also, authority was given to it over every tribe, people, language, and nation.
8 Te phoeiah diklai hmankah khosa boeih, diklai tongnah lamloh a ngawn tangtae tuca kah hingnah cayol ah a ming a daek pawt rhoek loh te te a bawk uh ni.
All who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written, since the creation of the world, in the Book of Life, which belongs to the Lamb, who had been slaughtered.
9 Khat khat long ni hna a khueh atah ya saeh.
If anyone has an ear, let him listen.
10 Khat khat ni a tamna ham atah tamna la cet coeng. Khat khat ni cunghang neh a ngawn ham atah cunghang neh a ngawn. He ah he hlangcim rhoek kah uehnah neh tangnah te om.
If anyone is to be taken into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. Here is a call for the patient endurance and faith of the saints.
11 Te phoeiah diklai lamkah satlung a tloe a thoeng te ka hmuh. Te vaengah tuca phek la a kii panit a khueh dae tuihnam bangla cal.
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon.
12 Satlung lamhma kah saithainah te khaw a hmaiah boeih a saii. Diklai neh a khuikah khosa rhoek, dueknah lucik loh a hoeih sak rhoek tah lamhma kah satlung bawk sak ham a saii.
It exercised all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and it made the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast—the one whose lethal wound had been healed.
13 Te phoeiah miknoek khaw muep a saii. Hlang hmaiah vaan lamkah hmai pataeng diklai la suntlak sak ham a saii.
It performed mighty miracles. It even made fire come down on the earth from heaven in front of people.
14 Diklai hmankah khosa rhoek khaw a rhaithi coeng. Te miknoek nen te satlung hmaiah saii ham a paek coeng. Satlung kah muei saii pah ham te diklai dongkah khosa rhoek te a uen. Anih tah cunghang dongkah lucik te a dang dae koep hing.
By the signs it was permitted to do, it deceived those who lived on the earth. It told them to make an image in honor of the beast that had the sword wound but lived.
15 Satlung kah a muei te mueihla paek thai ham khaw a paek. Te nen ni satlung muei a loh sak vetih satlung muei aka bawk pawt boeih te ngawn ham khaw a saii eh.
It was permitted to give breath to the beast's image so that the image would even speak and cause all who refused to worship the beast to be killed.
16 Te phoeiah a cungkuem la a saii coeng. A yit neh a len, boei neh khodaeng, aka loeih neh sal te khaw amamih kah bantang kut ah khaw, a tal dongah khaw kutnoek daeng sak ham a saii.
It also forced everyone, unimportant and mighty, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.
17 Te nen te kutnoek aka khueh pawt atah pakhat long khaw a lai ham neh a yoih ham te coeng mahpawh. Te te satlung kah ming neh a ming dongkah toeknah coeng ni.
It was impossible for anyone to buy or sell unless he had the mark of the beast, that is, the number representing its name.
18 Cueihnah tah om he. Lungbuei aka khueh loh satlung kah toeknah te tae saeh. A toeknah tah hlang ni. A toeknah tah yarhuk sawmrhuk parhuk ni.
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast. For it is the number of a human being. Its number is 666.
