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.
Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 Bungvawn la om tih cacun bungtloh neh aka tlo bangla pang.
She was with child and cried out in the pain and agony of giving birth.
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.
Then another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great fiery red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on 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.
His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
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.
She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to 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 God had a place prepared for her to be nourished for one thousand two hundred sixty 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.
Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon fought back, along with his angels.
8 Vaan ah a hmuen hmu voel pawh.
But he did not prevail, and there was no longer any place found for him 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.
The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down 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.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “The salvation, power, and kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ, have now come. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, he who accuses them day and night before our God.
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.
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so as to shy away from 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, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short.”
13 Tuihnam loh diklai la a tlak te a ming vaengah tongpa aka cun huta te a hnaemtaek.
When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male 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.
But the woman was given two wings like those of a great eagle so that she could fly away from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, to be nourished there for a time, times, and half a time.
15 Te vaengah rhul loh a ka lamkah tui te huta hnukah tuiva bangla a phuh tih, anih te yo sak ham a saii.
Then out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to sweep her away with a 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.
But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed 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.
So the dragon was angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
