< Revelation 18 >

1 After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.
Cekcoengawh khawk khan awhkawng anuk kqum law khan ceityih pynoet ce hu nyng. Anih ing saithainaak ak bau soeih ce tahy, a boeimangnaak ing khawmdek coei pheng hy.
2 And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.
Awi khawteh na: “Tlu hawh hy! Babylon khawk bau taw tlu hawh hy! Qaaikhqi awmnaak hun na coeng hawh nawh qaihchekhqi thawng tlaknaak hun, amak ciim ingkaw tyih ak kap phakhqi thawng tlaknaak hun na awm hawh hy.
3 All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”
Kawtih thlangphyn khqi ing anih a samphaih qawnaak misur tui awh qui boeih hawh uhy. Khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrangkhqi ing anih samphaih unawh, ik-oeih ak zawikhqi ing anih a awmhlynaak awhkawng boei khqoet khqoet uhy,” tinawh khy hy.
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.
Cekcoengawh khan nakawng awi pynoet za bai nyng: “Kak thlangkhqi, anih a thawlhnaak awh am pa unawh anih a thawlh chenaak amna mi zawknaak aham, anih a venawh kawng law lah uh,
5 For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
kawtih anih a thawlhnaak taw khan dyna hang be nawh, Khawsa ing anih a thawlh sainaak ce sim pehy.
6 Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup.
Ce nu ing a peek a myihna pe tlaih lawt hy, a ik-oeih sainaak awh ak bawk na pe tlaih hy. Amah a boet awh kqit pe nawh a bawk na pehy.
7 As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’
Amah ingkaw amah ak thlang zoeksangnaak ingkaw a awmhlynaak a myihna khuikhanaak ing ko ang kqangnaak ce pehy. Ak kawk khuiawh taw sangpahrang nu a myihna ak ngawi, hu hai na am awm nyng, ityk awh awm am ko am kqang tikaw, tihy.
8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day— death and grief and famine— and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”
Cedawngawh hypoet khuiawh a tlawhche ing anih ce lo kaw: thihnaak, go ang kqangnaak ingkaw khawkhanaak ing anih ce zawl kaw. Mai awh ui kaw, kawtih boeimang Khawsa ing anih ce awi deng hawh hy.
9 Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.
Anih ing samphaih haih nawh ak awmhly pyi haih khawmdek sangpahrangkhqi ing mai ak khui ce ami huh awh anih ce kqah kawm usaw lungnat za kawm uh.
10 In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, the mighty city of Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
A khuikhanaak ce kqih kawm uh, ak hla na dyi hoe kawm usaw kqang kawm uh, khaw map hyk ti! khaw map hyk ti!, Aw khawk bau, Aw Babylon, tha ak awm khawk bau! khawnoek pynoet khuiawh na seetnaak ce pha law hawh hy!
11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo—
Khawmdek awh ik-oeih ak zawikhqi ingawm anih ce kqah kawm usaw lungnat za kawm uh –
12 cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
suikhqi, tangkakhqi, a phu ak tlo lungkhqi ingkaw palekhqi, hi ak leek leekkhqi hawnkeh khqaikhqi, puu a sa ingkaw hik thimkhqi, thing soepkepkhqi, vyi a haa ingkaw a sai ik-oeih soepkep, thingphu ak tlokhqi, qawhumkhqi, thi ingkaw lungbawk,
13 of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots; of slaves and souls of men.

14 And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be seen again.”
cekkhqi ing, nang ing nang lamtoen ak thaih ce cing hawh hy. Na boeinaakkhqi ingkaw awmhlynaakkhqi ce qeng boeih hawh hy, ityk awh awm am hu voel kawp ti, tina kawm uh.
15 The merchants who sold these things and grew their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn,
Ve ik-oeih zawi nawh ve nu a venna kawng boeinaak ak hu ik-oeih ak zawikhqi ce ak hla na dyi hoe kawm usaw, ce a nu a khuikhanaak ce kqih kawm uh, kqang kawm usaw.
16 saying: “Woe, woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
Ko ang kqang doena, “Khaw map hy! Khaw map hy! Aw khawk bau, hik leek leek, hawnkeh khqai ak thim ing thawi ang cam qu tiksaw sui, lung phuk tlo ingkaw pale ingkaw ak vang hlup hlup na, thawi am cam qu hlai hyk ti!
17 For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor, and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance
Khawnoek pynoet khui mai awh cawhkaw byn a baikhqi ce plawci boeih mah hy! Tuicunli awhkaw tui lawng ak uk ingkaw tui lawng awh ak cet thlangkhqi boeih lawng ak kaih thlangkhqi, tuicunli ingkaw phoen ak khut thlangkhqi ce ak hla na dyi hoe kawm uh.
18 and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will exclaim.
Anih a mai ak khu dung dung ce ami huh awh, vemih khawk bau ve ak awm lawt hy voei nu? ti kawm uh.
19 Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”
Dekvai ing a lu awh phul qu kawm usaw, kqung ang kqap doena, “Khaw map hyk ti! khaw map hyk ti, Aw khawk bau, tui awh tui lawng ing ak cet thlangkhqi boeih ing anih a boeinaak ing maw ami boei hlai! Khawnoek pynoet khui mai awh plawci bang mah hy!
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.
Aw khan nang, anih ak khanawh zeel lah! thlakciimkhqi ingkaw ceityihkhqi ingkaw tawnghakhqi zeel lah uh! Anih ing nangmih ani thekhanaak a myihna Khawsa ing ak khanawh awi deng hawh hy,” ti uhy.
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a stone the size of a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be cast down, never to be seen again.
Cekcoengawh khan ceityih pynoet ing cang netnaak teh ak law lung ak bau soeih ce lo nawh tuicunli khuina ak khawng coengawh, “Vemih khuikhanaak ing Babylon khawk bau taw khawng na awm kaw, ityk awm huh voel na am awm voel kaw.
22 And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will never ring out in you again. Nor will any craftsmen of any trade be found in you again, nor the sound of a millstone be heard in you again.
Tingtoeng ingkaw tumding ak tumkhqi, phung ak tumkhqi, uut ak yngkhqi ce ityk awh awm nang ak khui awhkawng zaaknaak am awm voel kaw.
23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again, and the voices of a bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”
Mai-im awhkaw maivang awm u ing am hu voel kaw. Zu ak lo ingkaw va ak ta hly kawi cadawng nulaa ak awi awm u ing nang ak khuiawh am za voel kaw. Nang ak khuiawh ik-oeih ak zawikhqi ce khawmdek awhkawng thlak bau na awm uhy. Nang a kutlam thoemnaak ingkaw qam boeih boeih ce lam hang sak hawh hyk ti.
24 And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.
Anih ak khuiawh tawnghakhqi ingkaw thlakciimkhqi thi ingkaw khawmdek awh ami him thlangkhqi a thi ce awm hy,” tinawh kqawn hy.
