Olphong 11
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.
[An angel gave] to me a reed similar to a measuring stick. He said [to me], “[Christ says this: ‘Go] to the temple [where people worship] God, measure it and the altar [in it], and count the people who worship 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 do not measure the courtyard outside [of the temple] [DOU], because [it] has been given {[God] has given it} to [the] non-Jewish [people. As a result], they will trample [Jerusalem city] for 42 months.
3 Ka laipai rhoi te saithainah ka paek ni. Te vaengah tlamhni bai doela khohnin thawngkhat yahnih sawmrhuk khuiah a phong rhoi ni.
I will appoint my two (witnesses/men who will tell others about me). They will proclaim what I reveal to them for 1,260 days. They will wear [rough] clothes made from goat’s hair [to show that they are sad about people’s sin].’”
4 Amih rhoi tah diklai boei hmaiah olive thing rhoi neh hmaitung panit aka pai la om rhoi.
Those [witnesses are the ones] that are represented by the two olive trees and the two lampstands that are in the presence of the Lord [who rules] the earth [SYM].
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.
If enemies try to harm those [witnesses], fire will come from the mouths of the witnesses and destroy them. If people want to harm them, [the two witnesses] will certainly kill them similarly.
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.
Those [witnesses] will have authority to keep rain from falling during the time that they are proclaiming what God reveals to them. They also will have authority to cause water [everywhere] to become [red like] [MET] blood, and [authority] to cause all kinds of plagues to occur. They will do this as often as they want to.
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)
When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, 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.
The dead bodies of the [two] witnesses will lie in the street of the great city where their Lord was crucified, the city that is symbolically named Sodom or Egypt [because its people are very evil, like the people who lived in Sodom and Egypt].
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.
Individuals of many people-[groups], tribes, language [groups] [MTY], and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days. But these individuals will not allow [anyone] to bury their bodies.
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.
When the [rebellious] people who live on the earth [see that the witnesses are dead], they will rejoice and celebrate. They will send gifts to each other, because these two prophets had [caused plagues to occur which] tormented the [rebellious] people 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.
But after three and a half days, God will cause those two witnesses to breathe again and live. They will stand up, and those who see them will be terrified.
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 witnesses] will hear a loud voice which came from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” Then they will go up to heaven in a cloud. Their enemies will see them [as they ascend].
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 same time there will be a terrible earthquake, which will cause a tenth of [the buildings in] [MTY] the city will collapse, and 7,000 people will die. The rest of the people will be afraid and [acknowledge] that the God [who rules in] heaven is awesome.
14 Kosi pabae tah khum coeng. Kosi a pathum tah koe ha pawk he.
That will be the second terrible event. [Be aware that] the third tragic event will happen soon.
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 [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (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.
The 24 elders who sit on their thrones in God’s presence (prostrated themselves/bowed down low) and worshipped 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.
They said: Lord God, you are the Almighty One! You are the one who exists now! You are the one who has always existed! We thank you that you have defeated by your power everyone who has rebelled against you, and you now rule over everyone in the world.
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 unbelieving people of [MTY] the nations were raging at you. As a result you have become very angry with them. You have decided that this is the appropriate time for you to judge all the dead people. You have also decided that it is the time for you to reward all your servants, both the prophets and the rest of your people who reverence you [MTY], whether they were considered socially significant/important or socially insignificant/unimportant. It is time for you to reward all of them! You have also decided it is the time for you to destroy the people who are destroying others on 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 God’s temple in heaven was opened {was open} and [I] saw in the temple the sacred box/chest that contains God’s commandments. Lightning was flashing, it was thundering and rumbling, the earth shook, and large hailstones [fell from the sky].
