< 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 there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 Bungvawn la om tih cacun bungtloh neh aka tlo bangla pang.
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
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 there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
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 part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
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 brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to 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 wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
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: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 Vaan ah a hmuen hmu voel pawh.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any 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 out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
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 loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God 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 their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the 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.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
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 unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
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 to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half 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 out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
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 helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of 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 was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
