< Olphong 17 >
1 bunang parhih aka pom puencawn parhih khuikah pakhat ha pawk vaengah kai taengah cal tih, “Halo lah, tui ke yet soah aka ngol hlanghalh puei kah laitloeknah te nang kan tueng eh.
AND one of the seven angels who had the seven vases, came to me, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither, I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters:
2 Diklai manghai rhoek tah anih taengah cukhalh uh. A Cukhalnah misurtui te diklai khosa rhoek loh rhui uh,” a ti.
with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and all the inhabitants of the world have intoxicated themselves with the wine of her whoredom.
3 Te phoeiah kai te Mueihla loh khosoek la n'khuen. Te vaengah satlung a nukyum soah aka ngol huta pakhat ka hmuh. Anih te soehsalnah ming neh bae tih a lu parhih neh a ki parha a khueh.
And he bore me away in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns.
4 Te vaengah huta loh daidi neh a nukyum la aka om te a bai tih sui neh lung then neh laitha neh thoeihcam uh. A kut dongkah sui boengloeng a pom dae a Cukhalnah tueilaehnah neh rhalawt la bae.
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and all over decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and of the impurity of her whoredom.
5 A tal ah khaw, “Olhuep, Babylon puei, hlanghalh rhoek kah a manu, diklai kah tueilaehnah tila ming a daek coeng.
And upon her forehead was there a name written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother or harlots, and of the abominations of the earth.
6 Te phoeiah hlangcim rhoek kah thii neh Jesuh laipai rhoek kah thii te aka rhui huta te ka hmuh vaengah ka ngaihmang tih anih ka hmuh te bahoeng ka ngaihmang.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
7 Te vaengah puencawn loh kai taengah, “Balae tih na ngai a hmang. Kai loh huta neh anih aka phuei satlung a lu parhih neh a ki parha aka khueh kah olhuep te nang ham kan thui bitni,” a ti.
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath seven heads and ten horns.
8 Satlung na hmuh te om coeng dae tahae ah om pawh. Tedae tangrhom dung lamkah ha thoeng tih pocinah te paan la cai coeng. Te dongah diklai dongkah khosa rhoek tah a ngaihmang uh ni. Te rhoek kah ming tah Diklai a tongnah lamloh hingnah cayol ah a daek pah moenih. Satlung aka om coeng dae om pawt tih koep aka phoe te a hmuh uh. (Abyssos )
The beast which thou seest was, and is not; and shall come up out of the abyss of hell, and shall go into perdition: and the dwellers upon earth will wonder, (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, ) when they shall see the beast which was, and is not, though he is. (Abyssos )
9 He dongah lungbuei ah cueihnah khueh ham om. Lu parhih te tlang parhih la om. Te rhoek soah huta te ngol. Tlang parhih te manghai parhih lamkhaw om.
Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman is seated even upon them.
10 Panga te bung tih pakhat te om tih a tloe pakhat te ha pawk hlan. Ha pawk vaengah khaw rhaih a naeh ham a kuek.
And these are seven kings: five have fallen, and the one exists, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must abide but a little while.
11 Te dongah te kah satlung aka om bueng loh a om moenih. A parhet a om vaengah a parhih khuikah khaw om pueng tih pocinah te a pha.
And the beast which was, and is not, though he is himself the eighth, yet is of the seven, and shall go away into perdition.
12 A ki parha na hmuh te tah manghai parha la om. Amih loh ram te dang uh hlan. Tedae manghai bangla saithainah te satlung neh khonoek pakhat ah a dang uh ni.
And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received their kingdoms; but will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
13 Amih loh kopoek pakhat la a khueh uh tih a thaomnah neh saithainah te satlung a paek uh.
They hold one sentiment, and will give their own power and authority to the beast.
14 Amih loh Tuca te a caemthoh thiluh. Tuca loh amih te a noeng ni. Boei rhoek kah Boeipa neh manghai rhoek kah Manghai la om. Amah taengkah rhoek te khaw a khue rhoek, a coelh rhoek neh uepom rhoek ni.
They shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings and they that are with him, are called, and elect, and faithful.
15 Te phoeiah kai taengah a thui tah, “Tui te tah na hmuh coeng, te ah te hlanghalh ngol. Te tah namtom neh ol com ol cae kah pilnam hlangping ni.
And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, on which the whore sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 A ki parha neh satlung te na hmuh. Te long te te khaw hlanghalh nu te a hmuhuet uh ni. Te vaengah a tlingyal la a saii uh vetih a poeih uh ni. Te phoeiah a saa te a caak uh vetih hmai neh a hoeh uh ni.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, they shall hate the whore, and make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her up with fire.
17 Pathen loh a mangtaengnah saii ham amih kah thinko khuiah a khueh pa coeng. Pathen kah olka a soep duela lungbuei pakhat la khueh tih a ram te satlung taengah paek ham om coeng.
For God hath put it into their hearts to do his will, to perform one purpose, even to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
18 Huta na hmuh te khaw diklai manghai rhoek soah poengnah aka khueh kho puei ni “a ti.
And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which holds dominion over the kings of the earth.
