Awiphawng 16
1 Tempul khuiawh kawng khan ceityih khqih a venawh khawteh na, “Cet nawhtaw, Khawsak kawsonaak boet khqih ce khawmdek awh hawk lah,” tinawh awi ak qeng ce za nyng.
[In the vision] I heard [someone] in the temple speak in a loud voice to the angels [who had the seven bowls]. He said, “Go [from here] and pour out on the earth [the wine/liquid in] [MTY] the seven bowls. [This will show that] God is angry with [rebellious people and will punish them].”
2 A lammanaak khan ceityih ing cet nawh a boet ce khawmdek na nuk hawk hy, cawh ramsatlung ingkaw a myiqawl ak beek thlangkhqi ce ak tlo soeih ingkaw ak che soeih na haai uhy.
So the first angel went and poured out on the earth [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], horrible and painful sores broke out on God’s enemies who had allowed the beast’s [agents] to mark them and who worshipped the image of the beast.
3 A pakkhihnaak khan ceityih ing boet ce tuicun awh hawk bai hy, cawh tui ce thlakthikhqi myihna coeng nawh tui ak khuiawh kaw ramsakhqi boeih boeih ce thi hy.
The second angel poured out on the ocean [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result], the [water in the ocean stank like the blood] of a person who has died. [And] [MTY] every living creature that was in the ocean died.
4 Apak thumnaak khan ceityihkhqi ing boet ce tuiva ingkaw lawngcakhqi ak khanawh hawk uhy, tui boeih ce thi na coeng hy.
The third angel poured out on the rivers and water springs [the wine/liquid] [MTY] [that was in] his bowl. [As a result, the water in the rivers and springs] turned into blood.
5 Cawh Tui ak ukkung khan ceityih ing: “Vawhkaw awi dengnaak awh nang ing ak dyng na awideng hyk ti, ak awm huili ingkaw ak awm hawh ak ciim, kawtih nang ing awi ce cemyihna deng hawh hyk ti,
I heard the angel [who has authority over] the waters say [to God], “[O God], you exist and have always existed. You are the holy one. You judge people justly.
6 kawtih vekkhqi ing nak thlangciimkhqi ingkaw tawnghakhqi thi a lawng sak a dawngawh, a awk hly tyng thi ce awk sak hawh hyk ti,” tinawh kqawn hy.
[The rebellious people] murdered your holy people and prophets. So you are just in punishing them by giving them blood to drink. This is what they deserve!”
7 Cawh bawkthang benna kawng: “Oeih, boeimang Bawipa Khawsa, nak awidengnaakkhqi ve thym nawh dyng hy,” tinawh hlat pehy.
Then I heard [an angel] respond [from] the altar [PRS], “Yes, Lord God, you who are almighty, you punish [people] rightly and justly!”
8 Khan ceityih a pupthlinaak ing a boet ce khawmik awh hawk nawh khawmik a venawh khawmdek awhkaw thlangkhqi mai ing eng aham awi pehy.
Then the fourth angel poured out on the sun [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [He] enabled the sun to scorch [people] with fiery [heat].
9 Maihhlawk ing a eng a dawngawh vawhkaw tlawhche ak law sakkung Khawsang ming ce kqawn seet uhy, cehlai zut nawh amah zoeksang aham am ngaih bak bak uhy.
Because people were severely burned by the intense heat {the intense heat severely burned people}, they said evil things about God [MTY], [because] he had the power [to strike people with] plagues like those. But they refused to stop their evil behavior and refused to honor him.
10 Khan ceityih a pumha naak ing boet ce ramsatlung a ngawihdoelh awh hawk hy, cawh a ram ce thannaak khuina tla put hy. Ko ang kqang doena thlangkhqi ing amim lai ai unawh,
When the fifth angel poured out on the throne of the beast [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl, it became dark in the kingdom that the beast [ruled. As a result, the beast and the people whom it ruled] were biting their tongues because [they were suffering intense] pain.
11 haai tlawh dawngawh khan Khawsa ang ming ce kqawn seet uhy. Cehlai ik-oeih sainaak awh am zut bak bak uhy.
They insulted God [who rules in] heaven, because their sores were so painful. But they refused to stop doing the [evil] things that they were doing.
12 Ak kquknaak khan ceityihkhqi ing a boet ce Euphrates tuiva pui awh hawk uhy, cawh tuiva ce kak qup nawh khawlaw benna kaw sangpahrangkhqi ami lawnaak aham lam qoek a bah pehy.
The sixth angel poured out on the huge river Euphrates [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, the] water [in the river] was dried up so that the rulers from the eastern [MTY] [countries could cross it with their armies] [SYN].
13 Cekcoengawh uphyih amyihna ak awm qaaiche pakthum ce hu nyng, cekkhqi ce, thlim am khak khuiawh kawng, qamsatlung am kak khui awhkawng, tawngha qawl am khak khui awhkawng thoeng uhy.
I saw evil spirits that looked like frogs. One came out of the mouth of the dragon, one from the mouth of the beast, and one from the mouth of the false prophet.
14 Ce mihkhqi cetaw qaai myihlakhqi na awm unawh kawpoek kyi hatnaakkhqi ce sai uhy, khawmdek sangpahrangkhqi boeih a venna cet unawh boeimang Khawsa khawnghi pui awh qaal tuk aham cekkhqi ce pynoet na cawi khqi hy.
Those spirits were demons who were [able to] perform miracles. They went out to the rulers of the whole world, in order to gather their [armies] [SYN] together to the battle that [they will fight] on the wonderful day when Almighty God [punishes his enemies] [MTY].
15 Ngai lah, quk-ai a myihna law kawng! Ih kaana a hyrpy na awm nawh a pum a zal na chahphyi na ama awm aham hi a oepchoeh na ak ta taw a zoseen hy.”
The evil spirits will gather the rulers at a place that is called in the Hebrew [language] Armageddon. [I heard the Lord Jesus say], “[You must] listen carefully to [me]: I am coming unexpectedly [SIM], like a thief. [So], I will be happy with those who stay alert and [keep on living righteously so that they will not be ashamed], just like [MET] a person keeps his clothes [on] so that he will not be ashamed [like a person who is] naked.”
16 Hebrai awi na Armageddon ami ti a hunawh cekkhqi ing sangpahrangkhqi ce cun kang uhy.
17 Khan ceityih ak khqihnaak ing a boet ce khan zilh awh hawk hy, cawh tempul khuiawh kaw ngawihdoelh awhkawng: “Boeih hawh hy,” tinawh awi ce law hy.
The seventh angel poured out into the air [the wine/liquid that was in] [MTY] his bowl. [As a result, someone] said with a loud voice from the throne in the temple, “[The time for God to finish punishing rebellious people] is [about to be] start.”
18 Cawh khawkphla ingkaw khawnghum awi ing lipi ce khawteh na tat hy. Khawmdek awh thlanghqing a awm plek awhkawng vemih lipi ve tat khawi hlan hy, lipi ce tat hy.
[When the angel emptied his bowl], lightning flashed, there were rumblings and thunder, and the earth shook. It shook more violently than it has ever shaken since people first [lived] on earth.
19 Khawk bau ce pakthum na pek qu nawh, rampum awhkaw khawk baukhqi ce plawci boeih hy. Khawsa ing Babylon khawk bau ce sim nawh ak kawsonaak misur tui ing ak be boet ce pehy.
And [as a result], the very evil city [that is symbolized by Babylon] split into three parts. [God also] destroyed cities in [other] nations. God did not forget that [the people of] [MTY] the very evil [city symbolized by] Babylon [had sinned very much]. So he [caused the people with whom] he was furiously angry [MET] [to drink] a cup of very [poisonous wine/liquid that represented his punishment].
20 Sanglakkhqi awm cen kang nawh tlangkhqi awm am dang voel hy.
Also [as a result of the earthquake], every island disappeared, and the mountains became flat land.
21 Khawk khan nakawng pawng zaoet ak rih qeel ce thlangkhqik khanna tla hy. Cawhkaw qeel ce tla nawh kqih a awm a dawngawh Khawsang ming ce kqawnseet uhy.
Also [as a result of the angel’s emptying his bowl], huge hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, fell from the sky onto the people. Then people insulted God because [he had caused] the destructive hail to fall on them in that terrible plague.
