Revelation 18
1 After this I saw another angel, descending from heaven, invested with great authority; and the earth was illuminated by his splendour.
Hi teng zawkciang in a vanglian mama vantungmi khat van pan hong tuaksuk ka mu hi; a minthanna taw leitung bup tangsak zo hi.
2 With a mighty voice he cried – ‘She has fallen! She has fallen – Babylon the Great! She has become an abode of demons, a stronghold of every wicked spirit, a stronghold of every foul and hateful bird.
Ama sia a nging tatak in au a, a lian Babylon puk zo hi, puk zo hi, taciang doai ngilo te omna suak zo hi, tha niin te kua suak zo a, a thiangtho ngawl le a etsat huai vacim inn suak zo hi.
3 For, after drinking the maddening wine of her licentiousness, all the nations have fallen; while all the kings of the earth have had licentious intercourse with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the excess of her luxury.’
Banghangziam cile minam theampo in ama i paktatna le thin-ukna sapittui kham siat zo uh a, taciang leitung kumpi te in zong ama taw paktat na vawtzo uh hi, leitung i sumleang te zong ama hauna pan in mihau suak siat zo uh hi, ci hi.
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying – ‘Come out of her, my people, so that you may not participate in her sins, and that you may not suffer from the curses inflicted on her.
Van pan in aw dang khat ka za hi, ka mihing te hi nupi nu mawna sung ah kihel ngawl tu in ahizong, ama vawtsiatna na thuak ngawl natu in a sung pan pusuak vun.
5 For her sins are heaped up to the heavens, and God has not forgotten her misdeeds.
Banghangziam cile a mawna te in van ban zo a, a mawna te Pathian in ciamte hi, ci hi.
6 Pay her back the treatment with which she has treated you; yes, repay twice over what her actions deserve; in the cup which she mixed for you, mix for her as much again;
Ama in note hong thukkik bang in thukik vun, ama sep te a za ni in thukkik vun a; hai sung ah a dipsa zong a za ni in dipsak kik vun.
7 for her self-glorification and her luxury, give her now an equal measure of torture and misery. In her heart she says “I sit here a queen; no widow am I; I will never know misery.”
Ama le ama ki minthangsak tawm in a ukbang in a nuntak bangma in, nasiatak in vawtsia in thinngimsak kik vun: keima sia kumpinu ka hihi, meingong ka hi ngei a, he na ka thuak batu hi, ci in ngaisun tawm lai hi,
8 Therefore in one day will these curses strike her – death, misery, and famine, and she will be utterly consumed by fire; for mighty is the Lord God who condemned her.’
Tua ahikom ama vawtsiatna tu in thina, ka na le kialpi te sia nikhat sung hong theng tu a; mei taw kangtum siat in ki hal tu hi: banghangziam cile ama thu a khen Topa Pathian sia a Thahat Pathian a hihi.
9 All the kings of the earth who had licentious intercourse with her and shared her luxury will weep and lament over her, when they see the smoke from the burning city,
Ama taw paktat na a vawt te le a uk uh bang in a nungta khawm leitung kumpi te in, ama ki hal na meikhu a mu uh ciang in, khuangai in kaatap tu uh hi.
10 while they stand at a distance, horrified at her torture, and cry – ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! Mighty city of Babylon! In a single hour your judgment fell.’
Ama vawtsiatna a mu te in lau in a khuala mama na pan ding tu uh a, Ala! Ala! khuapi lian Babylon, a thahat khuapi, nangma thukhenna sia nai khat sung in hong theng ziau thong hi, ci tek uh hi.
11 And the merchants of the earth weep and wail over her, because no longer does anyone buy their cargoes –
Sumleang te in zong khuangai in ama ka tu uh hi; banghangziam cile amate van zuak te a lei tu om nawn ngawl hi:
12 their cargoes of gold, or silver, or precious stones, or pearls, or fine linen, or purple robes, or silk, or scarlet cloth; nor their many scented woods; nor their many articles of ivory; nor their many articles of choicest wood, or brass, or iron, or marble;
A van zuak uh te sia, kham, ngun, suang manpha, pale, puan neam no, puan sandup, nai puan, puan sannum, thyine thing, sai ha taw a ki vawt van tatuam, thing maphabel, tau ngo, thik le marble suang taw a ki vawt van tatuam te,
13 nor their cinnamon, or spice, or incense, or perfumes, or frankincense, or wine, or oil, or fine flour, or wheat, or cattle, or sheep; nor their horses, or chariots, or slaves; nor the bodies and souls of people.
Tuabek domngawl in cinnamon sathau namtui, ngim namtui tatuam, zatui ki zut thei tatuam, frankincense, sapittui, sathau, zungtang vui, zungtang, ngamsa tatuam, tuu le siphu te, siphu leang te, sila te le mihing nuntakna te a hihi.
14 The fruit that your soul craved is no longer within your reach, and all dainties and luxuries are lost to you, never to be found again.
Na neak nop thingnga te zong om nawn ngawl hi, a dawnmoi no te le a mu nop huai mamate zong na kung pan in tai siat zo a, bangma hun in na mu kik nawn batu hi.
15 The merchants who sold these things, and grew rich by her, will stand at a distance weeping and wailing, horrified at her torture, and crying –
Hi van te taw sumleang te in a thuak vawtsiatna te lau in a khuala mama pan ding tu uh a, kap in tau kik tu uh hi,
16 ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! City clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet cloth! City adorned with gold ornaments, and precious stones, and pearls!
Taciang Ala! Ala! hizata a lian khuapi, puan neam no, puan sandup le puan sannum taw a ki tun, kham le suang manpha te le pale te taw a ki zeam!
17 In a single hour your vast wealth vanished.’ Every ship’s captain and all who sail to any port, and sailors, and all who get their living from the sea, stood at a distance,
Nai khat sung a hau na teng beam suak siat hi, ci uh hi. Taciang tembaw ulianbel te le a naseppui teng theampo, tembaw taw sumleang te theampo zong, a khuala na ah ding in,
18 and seeing the smoke from the burning city, cried – ‘What city can compare with the Great city?’
Hi nupi nu ki hal na meikhu a mu uh ciang in, hi khuapi taw a kibang khuapi dang om ngawl hi! ci in au uh hi.
19 They threw dust on their heads, and, as they wept and wailed, they cried – ‘Alas! Alas! Great city! All who have ships on the sea grew rich through her magnificence. In a single hour it has vanished.’
Amate i lutung ah leivui te the uh hi, kap kawm le tau kawm in au uh a, Ala! Ala! tua khuapi sung pan in tuipi sung a tembaw nei te mihau suaksak siat ngei napi, tu in nai khat sung in bangma ngawl in ngamkhing cip hi, ci uh hi.
20 Rejoice over her, heaven, and people of Christ, and apostles, and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!
Vantung pan kipan in a thiangtho sawltak te le kamsang te; hi nupi nu tung ah lungdam vun, banghangziam cile Pathian in note atu in thukkik zo hi.
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, crying – ‘So will Babylon, the great city, be violently overthrown, never more to be seen.
A thahat vantungmi khat in tang ngoaina suangtumpui taw a kibang khat la a, tuipi sung ah a khiaksuk zawkciang in, khuapi Babylon sia nasiatak in ki khiasuk tu a, bangmahun in kuama in mu kik nawn ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
22 No more will the music of harpers, or minstrels, or flute players, or trumpeters be heard in you, no more will any worker, skilled in any art, be found in you; no more will the sound of a mill be heard in you;
Tengtong, tamngai, lemle le tumnging tumthiam te aw zong na sung pan ki za nawn ngawl tu hi; tang ngoaina suangtum nging zong kuama in za nawn ngawl tu hi.
23 no more will the light of a lamp shine in you; no more will the voices of groom and bride be heard in you. Your merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your magical charms.’
Na sung ah khuaimei zong ki vak nawn ngawl tu a; mopa le monu aw zong ki za nawn ngawl tu hi: banghangziam cile na sumleang te sia leitung i ulian te a hi uh hi; minam theampo bum le ai taw na theam siat zo hi, ci in vantungmi in ci hi.
24 Yes, and in her was to be found the blood of the prophets and of Christ’s people, and of all who have been put to death on the earth.
Hi khuapi sung ah kamsang le mithiangtho te thisan, leitung buppi ah a ki that theampo i thisan zong mu hi.
