Olphong 19
1 Hekah phoeiah vaan ah hlangping a yet kah ol bangla muep ka yaak. “Haleluijah, khangnah, thangpomnah, neh thaomnah tah mamih Pathen kah ni,” a ti uh.
After these things I heard [what sounded] like a huge crowd in heaven. They were shouting things like, “(Hallelujah!/Praise our God!)” “He has saved us!” “He is glorious and mighty!”
2 A laitloeknah tah thuem tih dueng. A Cukhalnah neh diklai aka poeih hlanghalh koek te lai a tloek thil. A sal rhoek kah thii te hlanghalh kut lamloh a suk coeng.
“Praise him because he judges truly and justly!” “He has punished the very evil cities that are like a prostitute, because their people persuaded the other people of earth [MTY] to act immorally and idolatrously like they do.” “Praise him because he has punished them for murdering his servants [MTY]!”
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
4 Patong rhoek pakul pali neh mulhing pali tah bakop uh tih ngolkhoel sokah aka ngol Pathen te a bawk uh. Te vaengah, “Amen Haleluijah,” a ti uh.
The 24 elders and the four living [creatures] (prostrated themselves/knelt down) and worshipped God, who sits on the throne. Then they said, “[It] is true! (Hallelujah!/Praise God!)”
5 Ngolkhoel lamkah aka lo ol long khaw, “Boeipa kah sal rhoek boeih neh amah aka rhih a yet a len rhoek mamih kah Pathen te thangthen uh,” a ti.
Someone spoke from the throne and said, “All you who are our God’s servants, praise him! All you who reverence him, [whether you are socially] significant or insignificant, praise him! [Everyone]!”
6 Te phoeiah hlingping ol bangla muep ka yaak. Tui puei ol bangla, rhaek ol bangla bahoeng cai. “Halleluijah, mamih Boeipa Pathen tloengkhoelh loh a poeng coeng.
I heard something like the noise of a huge crowd [of people], like the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water), and like the sound of loud thunder. They were shouting: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) Because the Lord God, the Almighty One, reigns!
7 Omngaih uh sih lamtah hlampan sih. Amah te thangpomnah pae uh sih. Tuca kah yulueinah tah ha pawk coeng tih a yuu amah tah rhuengphong uh coeng,” a ti uh.
We should rejoice, we should be extremely glad, and we should honor him, because it is now time for Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, to be united permanently with his people, which will be like a man [MET] marrying his bride, and because those who belong to him have prepared themselves to be united with him.
8 Hnithen a cim thik bai sak ham khaw amah a paek coeng. Te hnithen tah hlangcim rhoek kah rhilam ni.
God has permitted them to be completely pure, like a bride who [MET] dresses in fine linen that is bright and clean. Fine [bright and clean] linen represents the righteous acts of God’s people.
9 Te phoeiah kai taengah “Tuca kah yuluei hlaembuh la a khue rhoek te a yoethen uh,” tila daek lah a ti. Te phoeiah kai taengah “Hekah he Pathen kah olka taktak ni,” a ti.
Then the angel said to me, “Write [this: God will abundantly] bless the people who are {whom [he] has} invited to the feast [that celebrates Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, [permanently uniting with his people, like someone] [MET] [marrying a wife].” He also said [to me]: “These words that God [declares] are true!”
10 Te vaengah anih te bawk ham a kho kung ah ka bakop. Tedae ka taengah, “Nan hmu mahnim. Kai khaw nang neh Jesuh kah olphong aka khueh na manuca kah sal puei ni. Jesuh kah olphong tah tonghma ol kah mueihla la a om dongah Pathen mah bawk,” a ti.
I [immediately] (prostrated myself/knelt down) at his feet in order to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not [worship me]! I am [just] your [(sg)] fellow servant and the fellow servant of your [(sg)] fellow believers who tell people about Jesus. God is the one whom you should worship, because it is the Spirit of God who gives people the power to tell others about Jesus (OR, [those who tell others about] Jesus are [truly] declaring [the words that the Spirit of God has given them])!”
11 Te phoeiah vaan a ong te ka hmuh. Te vaengah marhang bok lawt ha thoeng. A soah aka ngol tah uepom neh oltak la a khue. Te dongah duengnah neh lai a tloek tih a vathoh.
[In the vision] I saw heaven opened {open}, and I was surprised to see a white horse. [Jesus], the one who was riding on the horse, is called ‘Trustworthy and Genuine/True’. He judges [all people according to] what is right, and fights righteously [against his enemies].
12 A mik tah hmai bangla tak tih a lu ah lukhuem muep om. Anih ah Ming daek la aka om te amah pawt atah a ming uh moenih.
His eyes [shone like] [MET] a flame of fire. There were many royal crowns on his head. A name had been written [on him]. Only he knows [the meaning of that name].
13 Thii dongah a nuem himbai a bai tih a ming tah Pathen kah olka la a khue.
The robe he was wearing was drenched with blood. His name is [also] “(The one who expresses what God is like/The Word of God).”
14 Amah te vaan kah rhalkap loh marhang bok neh a vai uh tih hnithen a bok thik te a bai uh.
The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
15 A ka lamkah thunglang haat aka thoeng neh namtom rhoek te a tloek vetih amih te thi conghol neh a dawndah ni. Anih loh Tloengkhoelh Pathen kah kosi thinsanah misurtui kah misur rhom te khaw a til.
[The words] that Jesus speaks [are like] [MTY] a sharp sword with which he will strike [the rebellious people of] the nations. He himself will rule them [powerfully, as though he had] [MET] an iron rod. He will crush [his enemies just like] [MET] [a person crushes grapes in a] winepress. [He will do this for] God Almighty, who is extremely angry [with them because of their sins].
16 Manghai rhoek kah Manghai neh Boei rhoek kah Boeipa tila ming pakhat te himbai neh a phai ah daek tangtae te khaw a khueh.
On his cloak close to his thigh a name had been written {[he] had written a name}, which is “King who [rules over all other] kings and Lord who [rules over all other] lords.”
17 Te phoeiah khomik dongah aka pai puencawn pakhat ka hmuh. Te vaengah ol ue la pang tih vaan bangli kah aka ding vathawt rhoek boeih te, “Pathen kah hlaembuh puei la tun halo uh.
I saw an angel who was standing in [the light of] [MTY] the sun. He called loudly to all the [flesh-eating] birds flying high in the sky, “Come and gather for the wonderful feast that God [is providing for you]!
18 Manghai rhoek kah a saa neh rhalboeipa rhoek kah a saa khaw, hlangtlung rhoek kah a saa khaw, marhang neh a soah aka ngol rhoek kah saa khaw, aka loeih neh sal rhoek a yit a len boeih kah a saa khaw ca uh,” a ti.
[Come] and eat the flesh of all [God’s enemies who are dead—] the flesh of kings, army commanders, [people who fought] powerfully, horses and the [soldiers] who rode them, [and the flesh of all other kinds of people], whether [they were] free or slaves, [socially] insignificant or significant. [All kinds]!”
19 Te phoeiah satlung neh diklai manghai rhoek khaw, amih kah rhalkap rhoek khaw, marhang dongkah aka ngol neh a rhalkap rhoek te caem tloek ham a tingtun uh te ka hmuh.
Then I saw the beast and the kings of earth with their armies gathered together to fight against the Rider on the horse, and against his army.
20 Tedae satlung neh a hmaiah miknoek aka saii laithae tonghma tah a tuuk coeng. Te nen te satlung kah kutnoek aka dang rhoek neh a muei aka bawk rhoek te a rhaithi coeng. Te dongah kat neh aka ung hmai tuili ah a hing la bok a voeih. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 A tloe rhoek tah marhang soah aka ngol kah thunglang, a ka lamkah aka thoeng nen te a ngawn. Te vaengah a saa te vathawt boeih loh hah uh.
The rider on the horse killed the rest [of their armies] just by [speaking words], [which were like] [MTY] a sword that extended from his mouth. All those birds gorged themselves on the flesh of [the people whom he had killed].
