< Papholawk 19 >
1 Hathnukkhu kalvan kaawm e kalenpounge tamihu lawk patetlae lawk ka thai. Ahnimanaw ni, Hallelujah, rungngangnae hoi bawilennae, bahu teh Cathut e doeh.
After these things I heard [what sounded] like a huge crowd in heaven. They were shouting things like, “(Hallelujah!/Praise our God!)” “He has saved us!” “He is glorious and mighty!”
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ama e lawkcengnae teh a lan, atueng. Kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae lahoi talaipui rawknae koe ka phat sak e, kâyawt e napui hah Bawipa ni lawkceng vaiteh, Ama e a taminaw a thei e dawk Ama ni moipathung toe ati.
“Praise him because he judges truly and justly!” “He has punished the very evil cities that are like a prostitute, because their people persuaded the other people of earth [MTY] to act immorally and idolatrously like they do.” “Praise him because he has punished them for murdering his servants [MTY]!”
3 Hahoi ahnimouh ni, Hallelujah, ahnie hmaikhu teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe a luen telah bout ati awh. (aiōn )
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn )
4 Kacuenaw 24 touh hoi moithang pali touh ni a tabo awh teh, bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e Cathut hah a bawk awh teh, Amen! Hallelujah ati awh.
The 24 elders and the four living [creatures] (prostrated themselves/knelt down) and worshipped God, who sits on the throne. Then they said, “[It] is true! (Hallelujah!/Praise God!)”
5 Hahoi bawitungkhung koehoi e lawk ni, Cathut e a sannaw hoi Cathut ka taket e tami kalen kathoeng pueng maimae Cathut teh pholen awh ati.
Someone spoke from the throne and said, “All you who are our God’s servants, praise him! All you who reverence him, [whether you are socially] significant or insignificant, praise him! [Everyone]!”
6 Hahoi tamihupui e lawk, moikapap e tuicapa lawk, athakaawme khoparit lawk patet e lawk ni, Hallelujah. Maimae Bawipa Cathut, Athakasaipounge ni a uk toe.
I heard something like the noise of a huge crowd [of people], like the sound of a huge waterfall (OR, a great/wide river of rushing water), and like the sound of loud thunder. They were shouting: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) Because the Lord God, the Almighty One, reigns!
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuca yu paluennae atueng teh a pha toung dawkvah, a paluen hane tangla teh coungkacoe a kamthoup toe. Hatdawkvah, lunghawi awh sei, ahni teh konawmnae hoi bawilennae poe awh sei.
We should rejoice, we should be extremely glad, and we should honor him, because it is now time for Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, to be united permanently with his people, which will be like a man [MET] marrying his bride, and because those who belong to him have prepared themselves to be united with him.
8 Hote tangla teh kathoungpounge lukkarei hoi kamthoupnae kâ a tawn. Hote lukkarei hateh tami kathoungnaw e lannae doeh tie ka thai.
God has permitted them to be completely pure, like a bride who [MET] dresses in fine linen that is bright and clean. Fine [bright and clean] linen represents the righteous acts of God’s people.
9 Hahoi kalvantami ni, tuca yu paluennae pawi tangmin bu vennae koe coun e taminaw teh a yawhawi awh telah thun haw. Hete lawknaw teh Cathut e lawk roeroe doeh bout ati.
Then the angel said to me, “Write [this: God will abundantly] bless the people who are {whom [he] has} invited to the feast [that celebrates Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, [permanently uniting with his people, like someone] [MET] [marrying a wife].” He also said [to me]: “These words that God [declares] are true!”
10 Hatnavah hote kalvantami bawk hanlah a khoksampha koe ka tabo. Ahni ni hattelah sak hanh. Kai hai nang hoi Jisuh e lawkpanuesaknae nange hmaunawnghanaw patetlah van doeh ka o. Cathut ma bawk. Bangkongtetpawiteh, sutdeilawk muitha ni a deingainae lawk teh, Jisuh e lawkpanuesaknae lah ao telah kai koe a dei.
I [immediately] (prostrated myself/knelt down) at his feet in order to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not [worship me]! I am [just] your [(sg)] fellow servant and the fellow servant of your [(sg)] fellow believers who tell people about Jesus. God is the one whom you should worship, because it is the Spirit of God who gives people the power to tell others about Jesus (OR, [those who tell others about] Jesus are [truly] declaring [the words that the Spirit of God has given them])!”
11 Hahoi ka khet boteh, kalvan a kamawng teh marang pangaw buet touh ka hmu. Marang van kâcuie teh Yuemkamcu hoi Katang, hahoi lannae telah kaw e lah ao. Lannae lahoi lawk a ceng teh taran a tuk.
[In the vision] I saw heaven opened {open}, and I was surprised to see a white horse. [Jesus], the one who was riding on the horse, is called ‘Trustworthy and Genuine/True’. He judges [all people according to] what is right, and fights righteously [against his enemies].
12 A mit teh hmaipalai patetlah ao teh a lû dawk lukhungnaw a kâmuk. Avan vah a min buet touh a kâthut. Ama ni dueng doeh a panue, apinihai hote min panuek hoeh.
His eyes [shone like] [MET] a flame of fire. There were many royal crowns on his head. A name had been written [on him]. Only he knows [the meaning of that name].
13 Thi dawk ranup e hni a kâkhu teh ahnie min teh Cathut e lawk telah kaw e lah ao.
The robe he was wearing was drenched with blood. His name is [also] “(The one who expresses what God is like/The Word of God).”
14 Rasahu ni kathounge lukkarei a kâkhu awh teh marang pangaw a kâcui laihoi a hnuk a kâbang awh.
The armies of heaven were following him. [They were also] riding on white horses. They were wearing clothes [made of] clean white linen.
15 A kâko hoi miphun pueng runae poe thainae kahran poung e tahloi a tâco. Ahni ni miphun pueng hah sum sonron hoi a uk han. Ahni ni Athakasaipounge, Cathut e lungkhueknae misur katinnae thung a katin han.
[The words] that Jesus speaks [are like] [MTY] a sharp sword with which he will strike [the rebellious people of] the nations. He himself will rule them [powerfully, as though he had] [MET] an iron rod. He will crush [his enemies just like] [MET] [a person crushes grapes in a] winepress. [He will do this for] God Almighty, who is extremely angry [with them because of their sins].
16 Ama e hni hoi a phai dawkvah, SIANGPAHRANG PUENG E SIANGPAHRANG, BAWI PUENG E BAWI telah a kâthut.
On his cloak close to his thigh a name had been written {[he] had written a name}, which is “King who [rules over all other] kings and Lord who [rules over all other] lords.”
17 Hahoi, kanî dawk kangdout e kalvantami buet touh ka hmu. Kalvan e kamleng e tavanaw pueng hah, tho awh, Cathut e tangmin bu vennae pawi kalenpoung koe tho nateh kamkhueng awh.
I saw an angel who was standing in [the light of] [MTY] the sun. He called loudly to all the [flesh-eating] birds flying high in the sky, “Come and gather for the wonderful feast that God [is providing for you]!
18 Siangpahrangnaw e moi, ransa bawinaw e moi, athakaawme taminaw e moi, marangnaw e moi, marangransanaw naw e moi, tami kahloutnaw e moi, sannaw hoi tami kalen kathoeng puengpa e moinaw hah tho nateh cat awh telah kacaipounglah a hramkikhai.
[Come] and eat the flesh of all [God’s enemies who are dead—] the flesh of kings, army commanders, [people who fought] powerfully, horses and the [soldiers] who rode them, [and the flesh of all other kinds of people], whether [they were] free or slaves, [socially] insignificant or significant. [All kinds]!”
19 Hattoteh sarang hoi talai siangpahrangnaw teh amamae ransanaw ni marang dawk kâcuie hoi amae ransahu hah taran tuk hanelah a kamkhueng awh e hah ka hmu.
Then I saw the beast and the kings of earth with their armies gathered together to fight against the Rider on the horse, and against his army.
20 Hatei sarang teh profetkaphawk hoi mek man lah ao. Hote profetkaphawk teh sarang hmalah mitnoutnaw a sak teh, hote mitnout e lahoi sarang e tacik ka kâkin e taminaw, amae meikaphawk ka bawk e naw hah ka dumyen e tami doeh. Ahnimouh roi teh ganhmaitali dawk a hring o lahoi mek tâkhawng e lah ao. (Limnē Pyr )
The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr )
21 Aloukenaw teh marang kâcuie a kâko hoi ka tâcawt e tahloi hoi thei lah ao awh teh, tavanaw pueng ni ahnimae moi teh kaboumcalah a ca awh.
The rider on the horse killed the rest [of their armies] just by [speaking words], [which were like] [MTY] a sword that extended from his mouth. All those birds gorged themselves on the flesh of [the people whom he had killed].
