Olphong 8

1 Kutnoek parhih te a ong vaengah vaan ah khonoek tintan tluk tah kamkhuemnah neh om.

And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,

2 Te phoeiah Pathen hmaiah aka pai puencawn parhih te ka hmuh tih amih te olueng parhih a paek.

and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,

3 Tedae puencawn a tloe ha pawk vaengah hmueihtuk ah pai tih sui bael a pom. Anih te bo-ul muep a paek. Te te ngolkhoel hmaikah sui hmueihtuk dongah hlangcim cungkuem kah thangthuinah la a paek ni.

and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,

4 Te vaengah puencawn kut kah hlangcim rhoek thangthuinah bo-ul khuu te Pathen hmaiah luei.

and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;

5 Te phoeiah puencawn loh bael te a loh. Hmueihtuk kah hmai te a kol tih diklai la a hlak. Te vaengah rhaek neh khohum ol neh khophaa neh lingluei la thoeng.

and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 Te vaengah olueng parhih aka pom puencawn parhih tah olueng ueng ham amamih te rhuengphong uh.

And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;

7 Lamhma loh a ueng vaengah rhael neh hmai, thii neh a thoek te thoeng tih diklai la a hlak dongah diklai hlopthum te ung. Thing rho te khaw hlop thum ung. Khopol hing boeih khaw ung.

and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

8 Puencawn a paibae loh a ueng vaengah tlang bangla aka len hmai tak te tuitunli la a hlak. Te dongah tuitunli kah hlop thum te thii la poeh.

And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,

9 Te dongah tuitunli ah hinglu aka khueh a kutngo te hlop thum tah duek. Sangpho hlop thum te khaw poci.

and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.

10 Puencawn a pathum loh a ueng vaengah vaan kah aisi aka len te hmaithoi bangla rhong tih tla. Tuiva hlop thum so neh tuisih tui soah tla.

And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,

11 Aisi kah ming te khaw pantong ti ham om. Tui hlop thum te khaw pantong la poeh tih a khahing dongah tui lamkah hlang muep duek.

and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 Puencawn a pali loh a ueng vaengah Khomik te hlop thum, hla te khaw hlop thum, aisi te khaw hlop thum te a hnaa. Te daengah ni amih hlop thum loh hmuep vetih khothaih hlop thum a phoe pawt eh. Te vaengah khoyin tah amah boeiloeih la om.

And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine — the third of it, and the night in like manner.

13 Te vaengah ka sawt hatah vaan bangli ah atha pakhat kah a ding ka yaak. Ol ue neh, “Anunae, anunae, anunae diklai dongah khosa rhoek, puencawn pathum kah olueng ol a tloe te ueng hamla cai coeng,” a ti.

And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, 'Woe, woe, woe, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.'
