Awiphawng 15
1 Khawk khan na kawpoek kyi hatnaak ak bau soeih ce hu nyng: khan ceityih khqih ingkaw tlawhche a dytnaak khqih dy awm hy, ce a ik-oeih dawngawh Khawsa ak kawsonaak ce soep hy.
Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
2 Mai ing ak kqit qu hlalang tuili amyihna ak awm ik-oeih ce hu nyng, cawhkaw tuili kengawh qamsatlung, a myiqawl ingkaw ang ming ak khanawh ak awm nambat ak cheiawh noengnaak ak ta thlangkhqi ce dyi uhy. Khawsa ing a peek tingtoeng ce cekkhqi ing pawm unawh,
I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
3 Khawsa a tyihzawih Mosi ingkaw Tuuca a laa ce sa uhy: “Boeimang soeih Bawipa Khawsa, na ik-oeih saikhqi ve kawpoek kyi ak bau soeih na awm hy. Khawhqai qoek sangpahrang, na lamkhqi ve dyng nawh thym hy.
They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
4 Nang ama nik kqih u nu ak awm kaw, Aw Bawipa nang ming amak zoeksang u nu ak awm kaw? Ikawtih nang doeng ciim hyk ti. Qampum thlang boeih law kawm usaw na haiawh ni bawk kawm uh, kawtih nang a ik-oeih thym saikhqi ce dang hawh hy,” tinawh laa sa uhy.
O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
5 Cekcoengawh ka hak toek awh khan nakaw bawkim, Awitaaknaak hi im ak awng qu ce hu nyng.
After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
6 Cawhkaw bawkim khui awhkawng khan ceityih khqih ing tlawhche khqih a law pyi ce hu nyng. Hik ciim ak vang soeih ce bai unawh, amik kqangkhqi ce sui hica ing zen uhy.
The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
7 Ik-oeih sai ak hqing pupthli khuiawh kaw pynoet ing khan ceityih khqih a venawh kumqui dy ak hqing Khawsa ak kawsonaak ing ak be boet khqih ce pehy. (aiōn g165)
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
8 Cawh bawkim ce Khawsak thaawm boeimangnaak awh zoeksangnaak maikhu ing be hy, khan ceityih khqih a tlawhche khqih ce a boeih hlan dy taw bawkim khuiawh u awm am kun thai hy.
The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
